Did his dog die? Why’s he crying?

Is really all about the draw. The right opponents and we could string a few together but hell get the wrong matchup in the first round and it could end badly.

Well done on the degree!

I guess we shall see. Some think Drevno may become the Raiders OL coach, because of his relationship with Chip.

I thought Fessler has been at OSU for a couple years, and coached Stroud. IDK

i think he was a GA at ohio state during fields / stroud. but he was kelly's qb coach at ucla.

looking back, though, on his cv, it could be that he's a joe moorehead guy more than anything (miss st, akron, penn state).

It’s an interesting discussion point. On one side, it could be used as a litmus test for priorities with a potential for insight into cultural fit. On the other side there also needs to be recognition that there are MANY instances of these kids who are in situations where the NIL now is meaningfully important and if a kid has talent, relying on the fact that they would be found.

While it’s disappointing to lose a kid to a situation where we get outbid, I don’t know that I could paint all situations with the same brush.

I mean, it's not 100% everybody. But these are 17-18 year old kids. A program like MD can flash a few hundred grand more & more often than not likely get the kid. Prestige, recent success, etc. doesn't mean as much as the mighty $ to kids who (mostly) didn't grow up rich.

Bryce Underwood being the prime example. He expressed zero interest in going to scUM. None. LSU has just recently produced two of the best QBs in the NFL. Then, suddenly, scUM puts together a bag and he's all Skunkbear.

It's a new world. I think we're wading into unprecedented parity. Also-run programs like SMU and any number of traditional also rans will be able to cobble together playoff caliber rosters stocked with top recruits if their supporters have deep enough pockets.

Ohio State has reportedly lost a recruiting staffer to LSU, per a report from On3.

Morgan Phillips, who was the Director of Recruiting & Special Events for the Buckeyes, is going back to LSU — where she was in the 2023 season. She joined Ohio State in August 2024 and worked in an on-campus role.

Is that bad?

Undoubtedly. No one has ever said that Ryan Day was deficient in the brain department. Hey, had a thought. It appears (to me at least), that a combination of Kevin Wilson and Brian Hartline will collaborate on OC duties, plus Wilson becoming OL coach, and Hartline doing his dance with the WRs. Has anyone told Brian that he'd have to give up his field duties, because an OC mostly stays in the press box area to oversee what the other team's D is doing. Don't really believe he's ready to give up his field duties quite yet. Finally, thought LeAllen (?) was the asst DL coach to LJsr? Seems to me, to be a blow as thought he was the heir apparent. For when LJ finally calls it a career.

Go watch the whole interview over on the Ryan Day thread. Little more context. Great interview.

yep. was a great interview.

and ryan indirectly harping on the ncaa’s inability to enforce rules. he mentioned it a half dozen times, without mentioning the ncaa but clearly he’s pissed that nobody is enforcing rules “in general”.

maybe watching the stallions drama drag into its third year with no punishment or penalties or justice is really starting to grate on him and now he has a soapbox that comes with being only one of three active national championship coaches.
