    #4.  I saw that one coming for the past few years.   The crown is now  open   to be passed on to  ( someone ).   What school  or  head will get it ???

    I believe it was all ready Georgia, If we were at a 12 team playoff this year they could have won three staright

    GEO, OSU  ( and who else is in there ? )  can compete for the top 4 or maybe 6 teams in the   new TOP 5   in college football now 

    And will they go where   every other division   from D-AA down to high school and even down to pee-wee football does.  Yes have a   16 team playoff   they are perfectly set up now just use the early bowl games for the first founds of the top 16 games.   Those early bowls would   love   to have SOLD OUT games versus  half   EMPTY   and run it out from there using this format.

    A winner at every level.

    Some programs have shown the ability to be very creative in an attempt to be relevant recently. 

  • Bill O’Brien is being reported to be the new Buckeye’s Offensive Coordinator.

    After Nick Saban announced his retirement, Alabama players starting running to the transfer portal. 

    Ohio State just picked up the best one, true freshman safety Caleb Downs. After finishing second to Alabama in the recruitment of Downs, they edged out Georgia to get him to Columbus for the next two seasons, at least.

    While it's very probable that he's going to be a relatively short-term hire, having another experienced coach with Day is a good thing, and let's Day concentrate on the whole team during the game while O'Brien calls plays. 

  • A local kid from Painesville that I mentioned earlier, 4 star DE Dominick Kirks, just officially committed to Ohio State. This was a big flip, giving the 2024 class a needed third DLineman. 

    It also appears that 5 star QB Julian Sayin, who Ohio State recruited heavily after Dominic Raiola de-committed but went to Alabama instead, now could be signing with Ohio State as soon as this evening. He was yet another Alabama player (he was a member of the 2024 recruiting class) who entered the transfer portal when Saban retired. 

    Ohio State's very highly ranked 2024 class keeps getting better.

    I saw one way to early  Top 25 in 2024 with OSU at  #5  and quite a bunch of new names on the list.   Refreshing in a way plus Satan R. Saban departing and many other names in the mix,  it will shake things up a bit.

    Other new names mentioned on the potential transfer lists.

  • 5 star QB Julian Sayin, a 2024 Alabama recruit who entered the transfer portal when Saban retired, is officially an Ohio State Buckeye. 

  • Ohio State gets a commit from 4 star OT Carter Lowe of Toledo Whitmer for their 2025 Recruiting class, which has started off very well.

    https://www.cleveland.com/osu/2024/01/2025-four-star-in-state-offensive-tackle-commits-to-ohio-state-over-michigan.html

    Ohio's 2026 OLine recruits is considered one of the best crops of OLinemen from Ohio in almost 20 years, with Ohio State in great shape to land two top notch tackles in Sam Greer (Akron Hoban) and Maxwell Riley (Avon Lake) and a great interior prospect in Will Conroy (St. Ignatius). I believe all three have received offers from Ohio State. 

  • Maybe Marvin Harrison Jr in 2025?

    Good point CD!  I can definitely see Harrison Jr earning that honor next. Sounds like a fun game we can play with Woody - Lookey lookey who's that Rookie?

  • 1. Ohio State's 2025 recruiting class on paper just got even better. They already had 5 star CB Devin Sanchez committed, now they nabbed the #1 CB in the nation, Na'eem Offord. As always, there's a long way until the official national signing day.

    2. So it appears 97% sure that new OC Bill O'Brien will never actually call a play for Ohio State, as the new opening at Boston College for their head coaching job appears to be his any moment now. Two names to replace him to consider: UCLA Head Coach Chip Kelly, who Day coached under before coming to Ohio State, and Akron Head Coach Joe Moorhead, who was the Oregon OC in 2021 when Oregon came to the Shoe and shredded the Buckeyes defense. He started the process of the massive coaching staff changes on defense after the season in Columbus.

    Per your points, both Kelly and Moorhead look like they could be a great fit for the Ohio State Offense.  Seeing another Buckeye crowned Rookie of the Year last night reminds everyone Ohio State is a very attractive place to be an OC.

    When Day was the QB at the University of New Hampshire - Chip Kelly was the OC there.  I think Kelly hired Day as the QB Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles.  A year or so later Kelly got released by the Eagles and I think Day followed him to the next Coaching job Kelly got.  

  • Wow. He left a head coaching job to be OC at OSU.

    I get the impression he was dying to leave, hopefully have a good season or two at Ohio State and get a good OC gig in the NFL.

    Fine with me. It is hilarious that guys are willing to give up HC jobs to come to OSU. and the rats are jumping ship up north as fast as they can
