Book our scoop family, book our nation was good.

I see y'all in the chat going hard.

Per usual suspects, we're going to dive right into it.

Going to talk about a generational five star

to a house state, a house state, excuse me.

Fina, it's a familiar name.

And there's been some updates with this prospect.

We're going to talk about it as well.

And so, remember, when you send us one of the super chats,

helps to go towards the pay of forward,

which is our military and our first responders.

We're going to look out for them because they always

look out for us, Nevada.

What's up, man?

How are you feeling after this weekend?

Busy sports weekend.

You know, I know you got some stuff coming out

what's going on.

Yeah, just kind of sad that Ohio State

to make the sweet 16.

But hey, we're in the spring football.

Lots of great things going on.

And some recruiting stuff really starting

to pick up for the buckais as well.

And the Ohio State brands never been hotter.

And they announced today, Jackson's fifth in Jigba

is now the highest paid wide receiver in the history

of the NFL.

I think it was like 120, 130 million guaranteed, 42 million

a year.

This is a point of reference.

Justin Jefferson's at 35 million a year.

So that's 20% higher than Justin Jefferson

for the great Jackson's fifth in Jigba, unbelievable accomplishment.

And obviously, all those things, whenever that happens,

my first thought is always, how does that help Ohio State?

And the answer is considerably because all these guys

want to get paid.

They want to develop.

They want to go on to NFL Riches.

And it looks like, I mean, what's Jackson's fifth in Jigba

going to make in the NFL?

You're not $500 million for his car.

I mean, that's what you want.

That's the eye on the prize as opposed

to an extra 100,000 here, an extra 100,000 there in LA.

All money developed your culture over cash.

And a great day for the buckais with Jackson's fifth in Jigba

and a great calling card for Ohio State recruiting in general.

Yep, reaching the agreement with Seattle

on a four year, 168.6 million contract extension

that now makes it the highest pay receiver in NFL history.

Like Nevada said, the deal of averages, excuse me,

42.15 million per year and includes over 120 million guaranteed

both setting records for any wide receiver.

So yeah, listen, this is what we do.

We do this, man.

And so for those who thought that, you know,

Brian Hartline leaving would just,

because there have been some hot takes, Nevada,

of, oh man, you know, we're about to fall off.

Now, I don't, I ignore scum fans.

They always, you know, try to cast our doom.

They've been cast in our doom since, you know,

Tressel was here, but even just some non-hater fans,

like, oh, well, it's over.

Not so fast, my friend.

Not so fast.

We talked about this.

Brian Hartline has had the power of the black hole behind him.

And remember, the ride receiver coach before him

was a pretty good recruiter too.

I mean, we've been wide receiver.

We've been duking it out with LSU and other schools

for wide receiver you for a long time.

So don't think things are just going to stop

because Hartline is gone, especially when you got stuff

like this happening, which is a good transition.

And I will pull this up, Nevada,

into the generational five star phenom

that we are referring to.

And who is that?

Nevada, you want to get into that?

That'd be a jet Harrison, which, first of all,

jet Harrison is one of the great football names

of all time, you know, I'm sorry about that.

It'd be like, if your name wasn't brand-in,

but it was like, be hops, Moses or something like that

or...

Holy Moses.

Holy Moses.

Oh, yeah, what I heard.

I mean, like, hey, mom and dad,

you shouldn't name me holy, that'd be great.

But yeah, jet Harrison is an absolute fabulous name.

Obviously, the son of the great

wide receiver, Marvin and Harrison,

senior and the brother of the great buckeye,

Marvin and Harrison, Jr.

So, you know, the early word from Ohio State,

I mean, this has been kind of a continuing thing,

but the word from Ohio State is that the confidence is high

that jet Harrison's going to be a buckeye,

the word that we've gotten over the weekend

from jet Harrison's camp is the way that's turning as well.

So, this is, you know, a very familiar name for Ohio State fans,

but this is a player that's come in,

probably much more heralded than brother Marvin.

I mean, because Marvin came in and,

I mean, I'm not saying he wasn't regarded a good wide receiver,

but it wasn't like, oh, wow, like this guy's the next,

you know, that's a big thing.

Franky Cowell McCord was considered a higher recruit

than Marvin Harrison was.

It was almost like, hey, this guy's almost like a package deal

with his quarterback and this and that,

the other thing like that, you know,

it's funny how those things turn out,

but yeah, jet Harrison, the next great Harrison wide receiver,

now a five star wide receiver,

and definitely a guy that I could see Ohio State adding

to their wide receiver hall here,

you know, coming up relatively shortly.

So, definitely good news coming on the recording front.

For sure, let me go out and go back into these highlights,

but yes, jet Harrison is an incredible name.

That's just stupid, like stupid, like fire,

like that's a video game name.

You know, when you're like playing Madden

or something you make in a creative player,

that's a creative player name.

And so I'm gonna pull those highlights up,

but you're right, people forget,

Marvin Harrison was like a four star,

four star kid, good prospect,

but you know, is he overhyped because of his name?

I mean, you were getting stuff like that,

throw in with Kyle McCord, all that.

But let me ask you, Nevada,

because I know you watch jet,

and I'm gonna pull him up now,

but I want your thoughts on the differences.

I know the differences,

some of the differences I see,

and also see some similarities with him, with Marvin,

but there's some things that I feel like he is just low key

better at jet is over Marvin.

And so I wanted to get your thoughts on jet,

and then I'll jump in.

Well, I mean, to me,

you know, I mean, the one knock that I would have on Marvin,

if you can possibly make a knock on a guy as great

as Marvin Harrison was at Ohio State,

I mean, sure, he hasn't gone to the NFL

and completely torn it up,

but you know, 12 or 14 TDs in two years,

you know, 14 high yard, you know, 686 yards,

you're despite only playing 12 games.

But I never felt like he was a big speed kind of guy,

you know, like a guy that could kind of blow

the top off there.

And I just, you know, you know,

jet just looks twitchier and faster and more fluid

than Marvin did.

And you know, Marvin was a great tactician,

you know, great catch radius, really strong guy,

but I think jet's more explosive.

You know, I think he's a guy that could play

in a number of different positions.

And I think he could play in that slot,

that Jackson Smith and Jigba spot,

but I also think he's a type of guy

that could take the top off on the defense.

So to me, just a little bit more athletic Harrison,

which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that,

but that's how I see him.

And be interested to hear what your perspectives

are on jet Harrison.

No, I agree.

I think he's clearly more explosive,

but he also high points the ball just as well

as Marvin Harrison was,

because Marvin Harrison in his high school film,

he did a good job with 50, 50 balls,

but also look at the route.

Let me go back here to about right here.

Look at this route coming up.

Hold on to the next clip.

All right, here we go.

Check out this route right here at the bottom of the screen.

Boom.

And he gets hailed.

Like stuff like that to me is just like,

okay, yeah, because Marvin Harrison was very fundamental,

very solid.

He's bigger than jet.

Jet is only six one.

Let me see, six, one, one, one, seven, five.

Marvin was like 16 and a half, six, three, you know,

in high school, taller,

but his brother is high point in the ball just as well.

His route running looks great,

but he does look twitchier and more explosive.

And so obviously with the smaller size

that might lead to that, but still,

I mean, he might end up having a higher ceiling

than Marvin Harrison.

And clearly he's a five star.

The rivals has him as the number one player, right?

So, I mean, look at this, boom.

I mean, he's just, he's running east and west

to get north with great speed.

He doesn't drop balls.

I mean, to get him to come here,

because you know, a lot of times you'll see,

not a lot of times, but sometimes you'll see some legacies

or brothers say, I'm gonna, you know,

I'm gonna do my own thing.

I mean, if jet does come here,

it kind of, to me, Nevada, you can tell what you think.

It kind of confirms like, you know what?

Like, my brother was treated very well at that school.

On and off the field, it's a great program.

We all share the road.

And we're in this together.

Taking a few extra seconds can help prevent crashes

and save lives.

Let's look out for each other.

Because everyone deserves to get to their destination safely.

Because, look, honestly, sometimes these family member

brothers or whatever don't end up going to some schools

because they like, ma'am, my brother was,

that was not a good situation, low key.

The public might not know it.

You know what I'm saying?

So anyway, I'm just saying, if we able to get jet here

who might be even better, that just shows

how dope the program.

And that's without heartline, Nevada, your thoughts.

Well, yeah, I think that would be a great endorsement

of kind of for life after heartline

that you could land, you know, a receiver of this category.

But, you know, if you're jet Harrison,

you'd have to, I mean, Marvin would have had

to have had a really bad experience

while I was there for you not to wanna come here.

Right.

You know what I'm saying?

Right.

I mean, because all these, these days are not stupid.

And they're looking at and kind of going,

okay, Jackson Smith and Jig,

but Garrett Wilson, Chris Alavie, Margaret Harris,

and Noah Brown, I mean, just go on and on and on

and on down the list.

And you got the best one of literally

the best one of the bunch in JJ Smith is the next one.

So I, I don't, I mean, you never like to say

that anything's immortal lock when it comes to recruiting

because there's a lot of elements in there.

But why on earth would you gamble with your future?

Because Camino has to, it's a sure thing, you know,

bar and injury, you're gonna have a great career,

you're gonna go on to NFL riches.

And that's what these guys wanna do.

You go anywhere else and it's,

I'm not saying there's no chance, I mean, that'd be ridiculous,

but it's less of a, there's a greater chance

that it doesn't turn out the way that you want it to be.

And, you know, Marvin Harrison Senior was obviously

a very cerebral guy, Hall of Famer, you know,

you're Marvin Harrison, you know,

Junior certainly has out surpassed his high school

recruiting ranking in terms of where he was drafted,

NFL draft and the kind of situation

that he's put himself in there.

So I would, you know, it'd be shocking for Jeff to go,

you're short of, you know, there'd be just one of the things

where you just don't wanna go into brother's footstep.

You just don't wanna go the same place you'd rather,

but we're not hearing any of that.

And I think that's really the big story.

We're not hearing any of the, hey, you know,

I just wanna go blaze my own trail.

Hey, I don't really wanna go to Ohio State.

Hey, Marvin didn't really have the best,

you know, counter to what you think.

He didn't really have a great time at Iowa.

We're hearing none of those things.

And that, again, you know, that gives me

that much more confidence that,

that Jeff Harrison's gonna end up as a buck.

Yeah, and so let me ask you,

I was gonna kind of go into a spill,

but I wanna tee it up for you.

What is the common denominator, Nevada?

What is the, and I'm a touch on really quickly

in a second, another receiver we got coming in,

who could have left, who could have whatever,

but, you know, they seem to be doing things

to double down or being a buck, I even more.

I'll touch on that briefly.

What's the common denominator for a jet Harrison

and his family to wanna stick and stay,

even though the all world, you know,

why receiver coach is gone?

Nevada.

To me, it's Ryan Day.

You know, I'm saying, to me, it's Ryan Day.

And, you know, the fact that Ryan Day,

you know, if you think about what could screw up

a wide receiver and what could screw up

a wide receiver's development,

and that is, you know, don't play in a system

that throws the ball or don't play in a system

that is really effective at throwing the ball

and it gets the best quarterbacks.

And you know that Ryan Day is gonna have

the best quarterbacks, and that's, you know,

I think that's just kind of that extra security blanket

that you have there.

And, you know, as a wide receiver,

that's why, you know, the quarterback position

in college football is overpowered

because when you get the good quarterbacks,

well, you get all the other good players

because then everybody else wants to come there

and you most certainly get the best wide receivers

because the best wide receivers wanna come

where they're gonna be throwing the ball to.

And, you know, when you've got, you know,

the list of quarterbacks that we've had in the recent past,

and then a current roster

where you've got Julian Sainte,

you've got Taving St. Clair, you know,

you're getting the ball, it's gonna get thrown to you,

it's gonna get thrown to you often.

And Ryan Day is certainly the,

he's the common denominator, he's the one thing

that's there that's not changed about Ohio State

and another reason why I think

Jett Harrison ends up a black guy.

I agree.

You said it, I didn't even have to say that

and that was not rehearsed.

I knew he was gonna say that because it's the truth.

And so, you know, he just, he knows how to,

not only that, but the off the field stuff.

I've heard Marvin Harrison and interviews

just praise Ryan Day because even Ryan Day

and interviews talking about his son,

he wants him to go somewhere where he know

he's gonna be taken care of on and off the field

because that's what he does.

And so, I mean, all these relationships

and things like that with Ryan Day at the helm,

just being a legit, like there's nobody

but Nevada, I know your contact, your people,

people I know that no Ryan Day, like really no Ryan Day,

nobody be like, man, he's really a deback behind the scenes.

Don't get it twisted, like he sucks, we hate him.

Nobody, I mean, every now and then

there might be a disgruntled parent whose kid didn't play.

But like Ryan Day is that dude,

he's the common denominator for sure.

And so, that's just, I mean, as long as we have him,

I think the players and parents know,

regardless of who leaves,

we're going to replace him with somebody

just as good if not better,

which is powerful because a lot of schools in Nevada

would crumble lose in a heart line.

Like, do you think that real quick,

and I'm gonna pull up a quick clip of something,

but let me ask you, is that an overstatement to you

that other schools, most other schools

would crumble losing a stud recruiter like Heartline?

No, I don't think that's, I mean,

look, Ohio State was concerned about it.

So, so concerned that they gave Heartline

the offensive coordinator position,

even though he wasn't really ready or qualified to do it.

But no, you know, but, and again,

I want to say this very carefully,

that's why I'm enjoying every moment that Ryan Day is here

because look, I'm sure, you know,

you can say, hey, the school's bigger than Ryan Day,

and of course it is, you know,

you've gone from Woody Hayes,

and then Hooper and, you know, Jim Trustle and Urban Meyer.

Yeah, you can go down to the list of great coaches

at Ohio State, but it's not guaranteed

that the next step is gonna be as good, you know what I'm saying?

So, like, I wanna enjoy every moment that Ryan Day is here

because it's just, it's sureity, you know,

it's sureity that your offensive scheme

is gonna be first right.

It's sureity that you're gonna be able to get great offensive

and defensive coaches to come work for you.

It's sure that your academics are gonna be an order

that the quality of kids you're getting is gonna be great,

that your recruiting is gonna be first rate,

that you're always gonna have great quarterbacks,

you're always gonna have great winters here, you know what I mean,

there's just a lot that comes along with Ryan Day,

and will we survive when he inevitably moves on

or whatever that is, of course,

but I don't want that to be soon,

because again, Ryan Day represents just a guarantee

of greatness for Ohio State

and that he can't really say that about a lot of coaches

and called football.

Yep, preach, but you know, you'll still have people

who want them fired, but it is what it is.

That's just pretty much the world we live in,

but I'm glad he's here too.

This is Jameer Brown, I have on the screen,

and they're seven on seven.

Bringing him up because he's another kid,

he's in the 2027 class.

He's the number one receiver in Ohio,

top 15 national player, five star, a stud, stud stud,

very fast.

I will call him a friend of the show.

He's been interviewed by Dev, I lost count.

He's been on the show.

Great kid, hard working kid, and an Ohio product,

and I mentioned this as far as I said earlier, doubling down.

He moved from a Uber Heights Wayne

where Braxton Miller went, closer to my neck of the woods

here in Columbus area to a high school called Big Warner.

Now, like I said, I said this before,

I don't forgive you were on the show about it,

but programs have like over the past 20 years

or so being in the Columbus area,

there are some programs who have went down

and some that have went up.

Big Warner, we scrimmaged him in basketball,

we scrimmaged him, my junior year, senior year.

Anyway, we played at Big Warner, and they wasn't like that.

Like their program was cool, they were solid,

but they weren't like a powerhouse.

So I was surprised when I heard he moved to Big Warner,

but then some others told me they've been really good

in recent years, and they got a good program

and stuff like that.

But anyway, the point is, Big Warner is not that far

from Columbus.

So he was interviewed and asked why he did that,

and wanted to main things he said is

so he can be closer to Ohio State.

I know there were some who were concerned

about visits he might take in Heartline leaving,

but this kid, Nevada, doesn't seem to be wavering at all.

In fact, he's putting his money

where his mouth is by moving closer to a program

so he can be closer to Ohio State.

And I mean, that's his words.

So I mean, this is another five star stud

that could have left and demanded top dollar

with Heartline leaving.

And so this is just more proof.

Now listen, obviously there's time between now and signing day.

But the evidence says he's not leaving

barring something crazy happening.

And so then you got Jet and his family, who's a stud,

and we're still in on, you know, the milestones

and the other guys.

So I'm saying I have to say I'm laying it all out for y'all.

It's not over till it's over,

but the evidence right now shows that we're still pointing

in that trajectory, we ain't stopping

this while receiver, we're crewing trained, Nevada.

Well, yeah, no, it's, you know, I think for Ohio State,

it's, you know, you've got such a great reputation

and, you know, it's a great place for anybody to develop.

And I think Ohio State isn't, you know,

you're not breaking the bank in LA,

but they're not taking a back seat.

You know, they've got their focused kids

where they're putting out real money.

I mean, JD Smith is making real money

that she's really saying that they're going to

real money.

They'll pay guys for production

and, you know, getting them in there

and they'll develop the heck out of them.

But for a kid like Jimmy or Brown,

I always look at, you know, how,

how is he reacting with other recruits?

And he's the guy who's one of our lead recruiters.

He's the guy that's, I'm going to believe recruit.

He's one of the guys, you know,

lead recruiting on Jet Harrison.

So it's like, you know, I look at that

and kind of go, well, you know,

that's the kind of guy that I want as black guys

and it gives you a pretty good indication

of where they're, where they're at the parts at,

where they're heads at in the sole process.

But when they're out there trying to sell

house to other people as well,

to me that really speaks volumes.

Yeah, man, I'm getting excited

to think about these future kids

because I told you, I'm a huge David Gabriel George's.

Like fan, like he is a stud

and barring something crazy happening,

he gonna be a book eye.

So imagine the speed on the outside

with that type of NFL back

and just the talent we got coming in.

I guess what I'm saying, y'all,

is I always preach this.

And so does Nevada.

Appreciate what you have.

Like we are recession proof as you can get.

We don't stop.

We lose, I'm telling you,

there's been fans from other fan bases

like man, a heart line going, you're done.

For real?

You think so?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

And that's not going to heart line.

It's just we're going to do whatever we need to do

to stay on top.

You know what I'm saying?

A higher, you know, whatever.

And so just appreciate it.

I'm telling the Nevada, like we,

I thought about a Jay Z song.

It's the it's called the Medley intro.

And before he starts rapping

and he's like mocking people asking like,

will he ever fall off?

And he comes in like no.

And then he starts spitting.

He starts rapping his verse.

For those who know, it's classic.

You know what I'm talking about?

That's Ohio State.

It's like our haters is like,

aren't they ever go fall off?

And we'd like no.

And then we hit you with the bars.

I mean, that's just how it is.

And so appreciate what we got y'all

in this football program

because we are on the heck of a run

as far as consistency and just being elite.

And obviously we all want more natties,

but three in my lifetime

is more than a lot of programs can say Nevada.

Yeah.

And, you know, you sent me into David Gabriel, George.

Like that's a guy I said this before,

but I bear repeating.

I know I say get excited about every recruit

and then I don't get sad about any way,

but if we don't get him, I'm going to be sad.

Me too.

Yeah, he's really, really good.

He's really, really good.

If he could go somewhere else, will we survive?

Yes, will football continue to be played most certainly.

But we've led this recruitment for a long time.

We've pulled out every stop on this one.

I feel it's like right where we need it to be.

And I really feel like we're getting him.

And when we do, I'm going to be,

I'm excited about every group,

but I'm going to be really excited about that one

because I agree with you.

I agree with you.

I think that kid is a big time player.

And, you know, I feel like you need that.

You need that at the running back position

to really be, you know, like last year,

if I had a criticism of our team last year.

And, you know, it's, and again,

I know I'm spoiled from having Trey Henderson

and Quintra and Jenkins a year before,

but I didn't feel like we were really explosive

at the running back spot last year.

And, and Bo Jackson's good and even a thousand year.

And I know all those things, but was he, was he great?

And we expect kind of great at Ohio State, you know,

those guys that every time they touch the ball,

you feel like they could take it to the house, you know.

And that's how I felt, Trey Henderson.

Every time Trey Henderson touched the ball,

I'm thinking he could house this, you know what I'm saying?

Like, and if he gets a little cruised, he's gone.

I didn't feel that way last year.

And I want to feel that way again

about the Ohio State running back room.

And I'm, frankly, I don't know

if I'm going to feel that way about the running back room this year

because, you know, I think Bo Jackson,

Bo will most certainly be better.

Isaiah West will be better.

Jacob sent isn't really that kind of a back.

Now, maybe Legend Bay's that guy.

You know, maybe Legend Bay is that guy

that can kind of make those things happen.

But, but David Gabriel George is most certainly that guy.

And, and I want to see him and Scarlett and Greg.

You brought up some things that, uh,

that triggered some thoughts.

I had a discussion with some buddies of mine

about this and we'll get to super chats.

We're going to have a, um, a harder stop tonight

and a little bit, uh, and we'll get to super chats.

But Nevada, you brought up some things that we discussed.

So here's the deal.

I think one thing that contributed to the lack of explosion

in the running back room is James People's did not step up

and do what we all hoped he would do, right?

Running back out of Texas, we saw really good speed

on film and planning against good competition.

I mean, physically he looked apart, um, you know, early on,

you know, in the spring, I mean, he was doing well.

He was looking like he was going to be that guy

and it just never came to pass.

He made some progression throughout the year.

You know, he leaped over a guy and he started to wake up

a little bit and be solid.

But he wasn't, we need it more than solid from him.

James People's was supposed to be the guy.

And then, you know, the other guy's chip in.

So with that said, Bo Jackson, the true freshman

had to be the guy.

And of course, CJ Donaldson was a short yardage guy,

whatever past pro guy.

But Bo Jackson was our best back.

And he wasn't quite ready.

He was coming off the injury, you know, like all of that takes

time to get your legs under you.

Now, with that said, Nevada, here's the other thing

me and my guys were discussing.

And I'm not saying he's equal to this person,

but I saw similarities and what was lacking.

JK Dobbins, his freshman year, he had a great freshman year.

Remember, he was called Jump Cut Dobbins.

I mean, he was, but his freshman year,

he was getting walked from behind at times.

But guess what?

He improved on that.

He got faster and he wasn't getting walked no more.

I mean, when he was gone, he was gone.

I'm pictured the Clemson game.

And that, in that inside zone play,

nobody was catching him.

But his freshman year, he probably would have got walked maybe.

Same thing with Bo Jackson.

Bo Jackson to me is a really good back.

He has good vision.

He leans forward.

He gets north very quick, but he got walked, okay?

He needs to get what Mickey, I'm sure he is.

This injury's not helping.

But I think just like JK Dobbins,

he can improve on that Nevada to where he is a breakaway back

because he was almost there.

I mean, like, who was it against?

I forget the team, but it was a 60 yard play

all the way down to like the three yard line.

And he showed, it was up the middle.

It was, he squeezed through the hole and exploded down field.

I'm like, ooh, but he got walked.

So if he can do like JK and just get to that level

of speed and endurance and ability physically

to go all the way, I think he can be that guy

because we see that he has it.

But he was only a freshman and every freshman

is not going to be trade Henderson with the speed.

But I have hopes for Bo Jackson to take it to another level

of like where he can be really, really, really good for

isn't about any thoughts on that.

Well, you also remember that Bo was coming off

a pretty significant injury from senior year, you know,

and so one year removed from that,

you're not going to be as good as you're going to be

two years from now.

So to me, that's the big thing.

So would have loved to see him in the spring,

see how bouncing and springy is.

But again, you're nursing a little bit of an injury

unrelated to the high school one,

should be back, you know, full going the summer

and then the fall.

But no, I think it's a great point.

I think he absolutely got it.

I mean, he was that way in high school.

In high school, man, he was crazy.

You know, I mean, he was just running away from guy.

So I absolutely believe he can do it.

No, I think I thought he was really close last year.

And if you pick some, even just a little bit of speed,

a little bit of explosiveness, you know,

a little bit back, you know, running a little bit sure,

you know, again, last year,

there's no way he's running the same reckless

abandoned coming off an injury

than he will be this year.

You know, his confidence is going to be

at a completely different spot.

So no, I think it's a good thing

that we certainly could see more out of them

and hopefully we will.

Yep. And then one other thing before we move

to Superchets, the wild card within Nevada's explanation

and criteria is Turbo Rogers.

Turbo Rogers has plenty of speed.

Is he ready? Does he have the vision?

Can he protect the ball?

You know, is he able to be relied upon?

Because we haven't really seen Turbo play in a game.

We just know he was highly rated,

snatched him from Alabama.

He's a twitchy fast, you know, fast guy.

But he has the ability to take it to the house.

But is he able to do that

within the confines of being a running back?

You know what I'm saying?

Because it's not like you just handed the ball

and it's just a straight line with nobody to tackle you.

You said I'm saying Nevada.

So what about Turbo real quick?

No, I look, I, you know, Turbo's one of those guys

that it's hard to get too excited about him

because we just haven't been able to see him on the field.

But, you know, the players know where the players are.

You know, they say he's twitchy, they say he's fast,

you know, certainly he's high school film,

you know, it's reflective of that as well.

So he's a, he's absolutely a wild grinning again it.

As I mentioned before, Legend Bay.

Another wild card of his thing, you know,

what kind of guy like that do with the ball in his hands?

But yeah, certainly, you know, Turbo would be one

that would, that would be a nice surprise

into 2026 if we get some out of Turbo Rogers.

Oh, man.

It, I mean, to me, I feel like he needs to,

I mean, like, listen, you didn't play last year.

You've been in, you're the most experienced

Ohio State running back on the roster

as far as that's available right now.

Like, you know, because, you know, Isaiah and, um,

and Boa are not, are not practicing.

So you got to step up and lead and do your thing

and, and carve out some playing time.

I mean, come on, man.

Let's do it.

I want to see it.

All right, real quick.

Keith Gordon, happy birthday.

Said he's checking in live from Daytona Beach.

Oh, that sounds nice.

Nevada, it was 85 here in Columbus yesterday.

Kids out riding their bikes.

We were throwing a football around.

I might even have wiped a little bit of sweat.

And then it was 30 this morning here in Columbus.

Oh, man, that's crazy.

Bro, and it's supposed to be like 40s, 50s,

and then go back up.

Listen, this is just Ohio weather.

This is what it is.

I've been here all my life.

I still, to me, it's not like I'm used to cold

and snow, but it's the fluctuation.

I don't know if it's like that anywhere else

other than the Midwest, where it just goes 85 to 30

the next day, ridiculous.

So I envy you, Keith Gordon.

I hope you're having a great birthday

and we appreciate you.

Anything on that Nevada?

Yeah, happy birthday, man.

Enjoy Daytona Beach.

Nevada Buck is going to be in Buffalo

the rest of this week, starting tomorrow.

Be in Buffalo.

So what's the weather?

I guess it's going to be cold.

I haven't even checked the weather.

I'm assuming if Columbus is going to be cold,

a bit of Buffalo is going to be cold, too.

So yeah, Tuesday through Sunday for Nevada Buck

in Buffalo, New York.

All right, so here we go.

Do do do do do do do do do do do.

So tomorrow in Buffalo, New York, a high of 34.

Wednesday, 48 is the high.

Thursday goes a little bit.

A little rainy, 57, Friday back down to 33

and then snow on Saturday, 34 degrees.

Now, I don't know when you banging out of there, Friday

a Saturday, but well, it's not Saturday.

It's the national championships for hockey for high school

and my daughter's playing.

And so it depends on what they win.

If they keep winning, we'll be there at the Sunday.

If they lose, I could be out of there earlier.

So hopefully we're still playing on Sunday.

That would be good news.

Yeah, now it doesn't look like it's going to be like typical

Buffalo crazy, like when you look on TV at the bills,

games like, man, this is crazy.

It's not going to be something like that, but still

going to be a little chilly, chilly up in Buffalo this week,

but it's all good.

You're there for a great, great cause.

Stilly Matt, member for three months,

shout out to Scoot family, the Axe master, B Moses

and Helsinki Nova Scotia Buck.

That's right.

I'll post in my, go ahead.

I'm Buffalo Buck now.

I'm Buffalo Buck.

To be fair, he didn't, he posted this before you announced.

You were going to Buffalo.

Yeah, this is so, that's fair.

So you know, you know, he'll be on it.

He would have been on it.

I'll meet you.

You know what I'm saying?

He probably on it right now.

He probably sent it one right now.

As we speak, our guy is stilly bat.

It's funny.

I was talking to my wife.

I was like, I posted my ax video.

And she's like, she's like, you tell him that I taught you how?

I was like, yes, did I told him that I quickly

passed you by after a round or two?

Because she did.

She had, she went, she done an ax thrown before I did.

So I'm like, okay.

And she's like, well, you got to do this.

Put your arm up.

My art cool, cool.

And then I start getting it.

But she's a little competitive as well.

We got a competitive house.

So, you know, when it comes to activities and sports and about it.

Well, yeah, it's, I want to even ask your wife learn how

to throw the ax before you did or whatever it is.

But I just, I just can't get over the fact that like, I mean,

I know axon is a thing and stuff.

But like axon and drinking it, like, like, there's just got to be like

so many accidents and stuff.

If people get hurt bowling, if you can get hurt bowling,

you can sure as I get hurt accidentally, right?

Yeah, I just, I'm sorry.

The play on words when you said accident, you know, just putting it

together, you know, accident, but I'm here all week.

No, but I mean, listen, I thought about that too.

Because the place we win is called Smash Park.

For you Columbus people, it's been Westerville, bro, it's actually

dope. Nevada, they got, like, they got pickleball courts.

They've got shuffleboard.

You ever heard of the duck pin bowling?

You ever heard of that?

Actually, actually, when I was in, when I was in Halifax, I was,

I went duck pin bowling.

That's where somebody had ever done.

It was candle pin, candle pin bowling or duck pin bowling.

Oh, I guess duck is different.

Candle pins, like the thin pins and duck pins or those

fatter pins, but they both have small, like balls,

like, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Yeah, okay.

So similar.

It's similar.

They had an arcade, a few other games and stuff like that.

So it was cool.

It was a nice little date night with the wife who was fun.

But I thought the same thing about it.

I was like, man, you got these axed on lanes.

You got the, you know, alcohol on tap, obviously, just, you know,

people are goofy and you just, you know, so I don't know.

I don't know.

We were fine, but I did think about that.

Like, man, who, they got like some secret security behind the door

waiting to jump out or something good, good, good insurance.

And I tell you what, you got to do that, that duck pin bowling,

those, those small bowling balls, like, kills, kills your arm.

I've done it, like, your arm will be hanging down by the next thing.

You'll be like, oh, man, this really everything, that just wrecked,

wrecked your arm.

It can be deceptive because they're heavier than they look, for sure.

But yeah, it was fun.

And it was good stuff.

All right.

Let me see what I'll tell you.

Still be back.

Thanks, man.

Well, you know, okay, a little buck.

See, he was, he was typing as soon as we were talking, typing.

I love it, man.

All right.

Geo did thanks for the five with Jet Harrison wanting to be a buck.

I with other elite, why would see were targets favoring us.

It shows you how good a wide receiver coach Cortez Hankins is.

Kudos to Ryan Day.

Now on, Geo did, we were told he was a bum and he didn't develop people

and bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep.

That's what we heard from people.

But anyway, no, Hankins again, Ryan Day and his receiver room all was like,

yeah, that's him.

We'll take him.

And so great hire and so far so good.

We keep getting more signs Nevada.

Again, it's early.

Things can change, but I don't think they're going to change.

I think he was a good hire.

And we keep seeing evidence towards that Nevada.

Well, yeah, and if we get Jet Harrison, if he commits this week,

B Moses and I are going to go over Niagara Falls in a in a barrel

over there at the out of Buffalo.

You know, it's like that in celebration of that thing.

We'll do the thing.

We'll film it.

I think you put on the YouTube channel and everything at that.

What do you think, B?

Did I think it would go viral?

I mean, that's it'll be our last video.

You know, but it'll be it'll be epic.

We'll go out with a bang, you know, do that.

If he was like, you was like, what happened to people that I went over to

the middle of the barrel with the battle buckle in the Niagara Falls?

I've never seen Niagara Falls.

Have you ever been in Niagara Falls before?

I haven't.

I haven't.

I've never seen it before.

So I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Yeah, I've heard me and my wife entertain going,

you know, when we're like, we're going to go this year type stuff and we just

didn't end up going, I don't know.

It's one of those things where I need something else to do.

Like, I'm not going there just for that.

I need something else.

So if we do go out there, yeah, you know, I'm saying, if we do go up,

maybe we'll like go to Canada after that or like into Canada, you know,

I'm saying and or whatever, but I'm curious to see it, but not that much.

If I'm not doing something else, but yes, I'm sure you're going to have pictures

of the video.

So I hope you enjoy that for sure.

But speaking of enjoying, we always enjoy y'all, got a short night tonight, got a, you

know, hard stop tonight, got some things we got to bang out.

But hey, great show.

We'll take Jet Harrison, we'll take him another stuff.

I receiver, come on down, big fella.

More Harrison's please, more styles, you know, kids please, more JJ Smith, Angelo,

whoever, come play here at our house, stay any last words before we bang out of here

to about it.

Yeah, no, Jet Harrison's, that's, it's a good one.

This is one, you know, definitely got him on commitment watching, we're going to be

monitoring this one closely.

But yeah, this would be a great, a great get for our state and, and a great indication

that the, the train keeps rolling along.

Absolutely.

All right.

Man, I was just about the, y'all are silly.

Everything, he said, everything I learned about Canada, I learned from South Park and

that Blame Canada song popped in my head, y'all are crazy.

Yes.

But that is hilarious.

But anyway, until next time, book, high school family, book, our nation, we love you.

Also, check Dev out tonight.

I believe Dev is going tonight in a little bit.

So hop on with Dev and the meantime, peace and go Bucks.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees, but I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me.

What do cares?

Big retailers and making record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill.

See?

Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

And this bill would cut the vital resources they need while increasing megastore profits.

They deserve it.

Don't they?

Tell Congress, stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores paid for

by the Electronic Payments Coalition.
