2026 CA WR Chris Henry Jr. is a Buckeye!!!

[ScriptOhio]

Just sayin': He's holding the best pair of NIKE shoes that I ever saw; thank you Phil Knight (and I'm pretty sure that Lanning doesn't have any of these in Eugene either)....

 

[woofermazing]

Ahahahhaha

I wonder what the final offers were for each school.

Allegedly we offered 800k in year one. Uncle Phil put 2M on the table. 2.5X more. The power of the brand and our track record on development. In this case its equal to or greater then 1.2M. I hope it all pays off for Mr Henry.

I don’t even really know what this means, but nostalgia laugh out loud. Front flip!

Edit: Oh, I was thinking about the video making fun of him in High School were the kids would yell “McGuffie!” while doing various feats, not him getting smoked by Spitler on the kick return.

Ask me to remember something else from almost two decades ago.

Thought 1 was his OSU kickoff:




Thought #2 was the NSFW parody video

[can't find it]

but it stems from this (over Shugarts)

You can only hope he's OK..

Narrator: He was not OK.

Nessler's "Oh!" sounded like he saw a fatal car crash

LOL. This is the hit I think of when @ORD_Buckeye talks about pipe-hittin' MFers. I know that's a line from Pulp Fiction, but I think of this hit.

That's a lot of money. Not sure I’d be able to resist the temptation. Actually I’m sure I can’t. Kudos to CHJ!

I have no info. But I’d imagine JJ’s nil got adjusted when it was clear that he was the WR1 even above Emeka. For CHJ, if he can unseat JJ and become WR#1, he’ll get him 2mil. If not, he can be patient and develop without the pressure to prove his worth. For a 19 yo, pressure can do funny things.

Ryan Williams was hyped to be JJ or better, and people say the money and fame caused his sophomore slump. Not sure the actual reason but he’s under performing.

Back to CHJ, just take care yourself and work hard, money will come. It’s not like 800k is below poverty line and the future is bright.

LOL. Absolutely comical recruitment. Never a dull moment in crootin these days!

Welcome aboard Chris.

I don't think there is anything comical about it at all. The kid was thrown a curveball at the 11th hour and stepped back and took some time to confirm his decision. Anything else is some clickbait speculation.

I'm glad that CHJr will be a Buckeye.

 

[Thump]

This may be blasphemy, but is there a chance with his height that he becomes a TE down the road?

no

I not sure he has the temperament to play TE.

JJ was also rumored to be offered 4 mil last year to transfer so I'm sure he's doing alright. Not only that he showed an NFL player his bank account so I'm sure he'd talk with Chris about what being number 1 at OSU pays

Thought 1 was his OSU kickoff:

This is the biggest physicality difference I've ever witnessed in The Game. That entire game, we were thumping them. We had so many hard hits. This was not even the only kickoff return McGuffie had where he got rocked.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Nessler's "Oh!" sounded like he saw a fatal car crash

I forget who said it but at the time they said it was like he saw someone punch a baby

I always thought that captured it perfectly

You can hear that he's sickened by the violence of what he just saw
