CB Cam Calhoun (Official Thread)

Re: On Thursday, the former Alabama, Utah and Michigan cornerback committed to Ohio State from the transfer portal, bolstering the Buckeyes' secondary with two years of eligibility remaining.

Re: He'll provide needed depth to Ohio State's cornerback room, however. Mathews, a senior, and sophomore Devin Sanchez project as the Buckeyes' starters on the outside with Florida State safety transfer Earl Little Jr. at nickel, but Ohio State is thin otherwise after some transfer portal attrition. An experienced hand to help in case of emergency, play dimeback in six-DB packages or even occasionally spell starters as Calhoun did for Alabama, is the type of support Ohio State needed to fill out its 2026 secondary.

Just sayin': Ohio State is his 4th school and he still has 2 years of eligibility left. He redshirted his one year at scUM.

QB Justin Fields (2019-20 B1G Off POY, 2020 Silver Football, 2019 B1G CCG MVP, New York Jets)

His issue in college was that he didn't seem to see the field very well and took too long to pull the trigger. It didn't matter as much in college because he had better protection and weapons that were able to get open. That issue didn't improve in the NFL.
Yep it was a noticable issue with him after Haskins. Cause Haskins got the ball out quick but Justin threw a better ball. Stroud was a combination of the 2 which is why he's done the best in the pros

Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

Well, one had to know it had to happen. Putting down millions on untried players only means you've got a good one on paper, but on the field it's another story. Heck, tOSU has one, with the Rice OL that maybe cracked the two-deep, but certainly didn't carry their weight (literally) on the field. But there's one thing, a scholarship is now for four years, and NIL money isn't. At year end, the coach sits down with the player, and says, 'Fella, you've still got your schollie, but no more NIL'. Doubt they're going to turn in their Range Rover, and eat dorm food again, no? Conversely, one also has to know that tampering is happening everywhere. Hey, come to XXX, and we'll give you YYY NIL money, and a Lambo to boot!

tOSU Recruiting Discussion

On a strictly numbers standpoint, tOSU is getting crushed. Also from a talent level. Believe there are a couple of pearls there, but not enough to provide competent back-ups where there are now gaping holes (see WR, DB, OL, DL). Wonder if the lack of OL transfers in indicate that Day & Co feel that tOSU can field a better OL with current players, and guys with zero chance to see the field are looking elsewhere? Thought we'd see a top flight OT(LT) enter the fray, but not certain they're available, and if so, not for us. Am too long in the tooth to really worry that there's zero K on the roster, and or two upcoming classes have been gutted, and replaced with one year players. OK, might have exaggerated a tad, yeah, I'm worried.....
The game has changed. The numbers had to decrease. Yes, the max limit is now 105, OSU's roster was in the 80s. They lost 30 players, gained 12. Rosters now need to be more efficient and operate closer to 55-60 like an NFL roster. You can pay the entire team more on average in that fashion. Another RB, WR and OL is needed, that's really it. Every hole has been fixed except for that
