Thanks

It’s a random Wednesday in the off-season and I’m on my second Guinness so it seemed like a good time for a thanks to BP post and I hope some/all of y’all will join in. This place has been a big part of my life since 2004 and has taken me, literally, halfway around the world. FKA and OG, who I think are long gone, Wes (Wade to most of you) my mate, Steve19, my best man in 2012 and whom I’m honored to count as one of my dearest friends who got me from one life to the next, and Mili and Mike who pull me back to the center on at least a weekly basis when I get a little too progressive, and everyone else from the Bryant’s and ORD, who I only recently learned is a diehard Wales rugby fan, and last, but definitely least, the paint chippers from back in the day, AKAK and BKB, thank you and Go Bucks!

2021 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Where Ohio State’s 2021 Recruits Are In The Initial Rankings

IMG_7658-e1537646919185.jpg


The first full rankings for the 2021 college football recruiting class just came out, and an Ohio State commit is right at the top of the list.

Defensive end Jack Sawyer is ranked No. 2 overall in the nation according to 247 Sports. He’s the top-ranked prospect currently committed to a college.

Sawyer committed to the Buckeyes in early February, giving Ryan Day a massive coup early in the 2021 cycle.

Quarterback J.T. Tuimoloau from Sammamish, Washington is the only player rated ahead of Sawyer in the class. Tuimoloau is high school teammates with 2020 Ohio State WR commit Gee Scott.

Sawyer is the only player currently committed to the Buckeyes’ 2021 class, but some other highly-ranked players could join him soon.

Ohio State is considered a heavy favorite to land another in-state top-25 recruit. Offensive tackle Ben Christman from Revere High School is ranked as the No. 22 overall player in the class, and 3rd-best at his position. OSU offered him a scholarship earlier this spring.

They are just part of what is shaping up to be a very strong year for football talent in the state of Ohio.

A total of 18 players are ranked among the top-300 overall in the country for 2021. Just for comparison, only four players from Ohio are currently ranked as top-300 prospects in 2020.

Among the other names to watch in the state are:

WR Lorenzo Styles, Jr. from Pickerington: The son of the former OSU linebacker, Styles is the No. 109 player nationally, and 15th-best at his position.

WR Jayden Ballard from Massillon: He’s just behind Styles, as the No. 116 player overall, and 17th-best wide receiver.

SAF A.J. Kirk from Dublin: The younger brother of former OSU all-American Michael Doss is the 5th-ranked safety and No. 171 player overall. The Buckeyes have not offered him a scholarship yet.

RB Jaylen Anderson from Perry: He’s the 11th-best running back and No. 171 nationally, but does not yet hold an OSU offer.

DE Najee Story from Solon: Story is the No. 15 DE and 184th-best player overall.

The Buckeyes recruit from all over the nation, of course. So here are a few names to know from the rest of the country.

QB J.J. McCarthy from Illinois: He is the No. 19 overall player in the class and 2nd-best pro-style quarterback.

DE Travion Ford from Missouri: Ford is the No. 42 player overall and 5th-best at defensive end.

WR Marvin Harrison, Jr. from Pennsylvania: He is the son of the NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver. He’s ranked as the No. 51 overall player and 5th-best receiver in the class.

OG Damon Payne from Michigan: Payne is rated as the top guard in the class, and No. 58 overall.

QB Kyle McCord from Pennsylvania: He is teammates with Harrison, and ranks as the No. 8 pro-style passer and 113th-best player in the class.

DE Jahzion Harris from New York: He’s from OSU pipeline Erasmus Hall, the same school that produced Curtis Samuel, Matthew Jones, and Jahsen Wint. He’s ranked as the No. 11 DE and 155th-best player overall.

'20 AR/FL SG Moses Moody (Arkansas Verbal)

We offered him yesterday. Fantastic shooter and a smooth player, not the quickest or most explosive guy but seems to move his feet well enough laterally on D.

As far as height, 6'5" in shoes seems fairly accurate from what I can tell (as in he's just barely 6'5"). I've seen some sites like ESPN list him at 6'6 and I can't buy that for a second, he was on the same AAU team with EJ Liddell and he's noticeably shorter than EJ, so I feel like there's got to be over an inch difference there at least, and I think EJ might be closer to 6'6 than 6'7.

I've also read conflicting reports on his wingspan. A couple Arkansas-based articles say he has a 7-foot wingspan... uh, yeah, no. I can eyeball that's wrong, for sure. I guess at one point in 7th grade it was measured at 6'10" and if I had to guess I'd say it's still 6'10. Still really good for a 6'5 guy.

I wonder if the timing of the offer signals Holtmann sensing an opportunity with Moody given the Arkansas coaching change, since Arkansas has been recruiting him hard for a while now and is the home-state school (he's currently at Montverde in FL). Razorbacks were 247's perceived favorite in the early going.

I do think Moody could be the answer at wing/3rd guard/SF. I don't love his level of quickness or ballhandling for the 1 or the 2 but it could work at the 3, and he certainly has better size/length for the 3 than Luther or Duane do. Jallow would only have one more year, and Ahrens would be a junior... and honestly we can't say how well Ahrens is gonna pan out.

I don't know if Moody makes much sense at the 2 given that we should have two more years of Luther and Duane, but obviously he could help there if needed since that's primarily what he plays in HS and AAU.

But yeah, if we get a player like Moody, I think we still need a PG or CG in the class.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone knows the Big Ten hasn't won the national title since Michigan State cut down the nets in 2000. If the way-too-early 2019-20 polls play out, the Big Ten could be snapping its skid next season in Atlanta.

Where in the World is LordJeffBuck (part 2)

The answer to this is very specific.

Right now, I am performing a specific act to a specific thing in a specific place.

A character in a classic rock song performed the same act to the same thing in the same place.

Said classic rock song was a top-40 hit, and it is still in regular rotation on classic rock stations to this day.

The thing was the subject of a hugely popular #1 song from the classic rock era (although the song itself is not considered to be classic rock today).

Where am I and what am I doing?

Hint: By the time you read this, I will likely be done doing what I was doing and will be in a different place.

College Football Player That Might Have Played At Ohio State

Does anyone know of a College Football player who I am totaly sure if he played at Ohio State, if not-maybe at any one of the other Universities whose color and jerseys are red-such as Indiana, Oklahoma, or Rutgers; holds accounts on both the Twitter and Instagram social websites, has a #1 Buzzcut haircut, had drove a blue Buick LeSabre during his time in High School and in College (the car was probably handed down to him as his first car), has stated that he will miss his "Old Blue" as he had nicknamed his Buick LeSabre; and had more recently replaced this car with a Buick Lacrosse.
Furthermore, this College Football player has also stated that he misses playing Basketball; and that his friends have encouraged him to attend the draft for this new, upstart Football league.
If I recall correctly, this College Football player had attended a University that has red jerseys.
Does anyone know which College Football player I am referring to, and whether or not this man had played at Ohio State, Indiana, Oklahoma, or at Rutgers?
