It was supposed to be a joke, Thump incorrectly correcting your city (i.e. Chestnut Hill to Chesterhill). Maybe the joke is on me, what's Chesterhill? Anyway Chesterfields are cigarettes.....:biggrin:

Chesterhill is yet another tiny town in the 740 area code. Thump and I make obscure references to these sometimes off the map townships to amuse ourselves and annoy most others. There's also a Chesterhill pond in Perry county to which I was referring.
Nobody there smokes Chesterfields, it's a Red Man stronghold.

And I will make a BC game to see Jaelen. By the time he is eligible, there will probably be at least one grad transfer type from tOSU to watch too.

OHIO STATE TRANSFER JAELEN GILL GRANTED IMMEDIATE ELIGIBILITY TO PLAY AT BOSTON COLLEGE

Gill's father, Rod, thanked both Ohio State coach Ryan Day and former Ohio State assistant Jeff Hafley – now Boston College's head coach – with their efforts to make that happen.



A redshirt sophomore, Gill will have three years of eligibility to play for Boston College.

Just sayin': Classy on Ryan Day's part; needless to say, there are other head coaches that wouldn't have helped a transfer get immediate eligibility at their new school.

“I had battled people to try and get on the field at my H position at Ohio State for awhile, and I had a couple lengthy conversations with Coach Hartline, and after those talks, I just felt like it was best to reach out with my family and discuss what the next step was, and that’s when we decided that I felt the best decision for me was to look elsewhere,” Gill said.

“Basically what I got out of the conversation was just that going into camp, I would be struggling to earn the starting spot. I’d be a little bit down on the depth chart. So after that conversation, I talked to my family … and we just felt it was the best opportunity to leave and come here where I’d have a better opportunity.

“If we had spring, I’m not really sure where I would be or what I would be doing. I probably would still be back at Ohio State. But everything happens for a reason.”

Why wasn’t Gill, the No. 30 overall prospect in the recruiting class of 2018, able to make his mark at Ohio State? He’s not quite sure. It probably didn’t help that the H-back position was recruited to play has become a more strictly receiving position – rather than a hybrid running and receiving position – since Ryan Day took over as head coach.

Gill says he doesn’t hold any ill will toward Ohio State, though. He views his two years with the Buckeyes as a learning experience and now wants to use what he learned from his time in Columbus to make an impact at Boston College.

“It’s a great program, I’ve got nothing but love and respect for them,” Gill said of Ohio State. “I learned a lot from the guys that were in front of me and that were around me. A lot of the veterans in the past like Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon, K.J. Hill, all those guys, they were people that were before me that were playing in front of me. So I just sat back, watched, worked as hard as I could and just learned from those guys.”
