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.
We're going to talk about a generational five-store 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 as well.
And so remember when you send us one of our super chats,
it 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.
And you know, I know you got some stuff coming out.
What's going on?
Yeah, just, you know, kind of sad that a house
that you make the sweet 16.
But, you know, hey, we're in this spring football.
Lots of great things going on.
And some recruiting stuff really starting to pick up for the buck
guys as well.
And, you know, the Ohio State brands
never been hotter.
And, you know, they announced today,
Jackson Smith and 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 Smith and Jigba.
You know, 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, you know, considerably.
Because, you know, all these guys want to get paid.
They want to develop.
They want to go on to NFL Riches.
And, you know, it looks like, I mean,
what's Jackson Smith and 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
or an extra 100,000 there in N.A.
All money, you know, developed your culture over cash.
And, you know, great day for the black guys
with Jackson's fifth and 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 in the highest paid 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,
bright heart line of 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 generation 05 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 what I'm saying 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 junior.
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 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
or heralded than brother Marvin.
I mean, because Marvin came in and, I mean, I'm not saying
he wasn't recorded a good wide receiver,
but it wasn't like, oh, wow, like this guy's the next,
you know, the next 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 him a creative player,
that's a creative player name.
And so, I'm going to pull his 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 going to pull him up now.
But, I want your thoughts on the differences.
I know the differences, some of the differences, I see.
And I 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, you know,
torn it up, but, you know, 12 or 14 TDs in two years,
you know, 14 high yard, you know, 686 yards this year,
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, he, 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,
and 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 Jigsaw 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, you know,
more athletic Harrison, which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that.
But that's how I, 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 held.
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 6-1.
Let me see.
6-1-1-1-75.
Marvin was like 16 and a half, 6-3, 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, you know, lead to that.
But still, I mean, he might end up having a higher ceiling.
The 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 going to, you know, I'm going to 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.
Hey, there.

Because, look, honestly, sometimes these,
these family member brothers or whatever don't end up going to some,
to some schools because they like them.
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 heart line, Nevada, your thoughts.
Well, yeah, I think that'd be a great endorsement of kind of for life after
heart line that you could land, you know, a receiver of this, 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.
So I'll say for you not to want to come here, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, because all these, these kids are not stupid.
They're looking at and kind of going, okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba,
Garrett Wilson, Crystal Lobby, Marvin 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 J.J. 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 a sure thing.
You know, bar and injury, you're going to have a great career.
You're going to go on to NFL riches and that's what these guys want to do.
You go anywhere else and it's, I'm not saying there's no chance.
I mean, that would 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 know, Marvin Harrison, you know, Juner certainly has,
has out surpassed his high school recruiting ranking in terms of where he was drafted,
the NFL draft and the kind of situation 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 want to go
into brother's footstep.
You just don't want to go the same place your brother, 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 want to go blaze my own trail.
Hey, I don't really want to go to Ohio State.
Hey, Marvin didn't really have the best, you know,
contrary 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 Jet Harrison's going to end up as a bucket.
Yeah.
And so let me ask you, I was going to kind of go into a spill,
but I want to tee it up for you.
What is the common denominator, Nevada?
What is the, and I'm going to 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 on being a bucket,
even more. I'll touch on that briefly.
What's the common denominator for a Jet Harrison and his family
to want to stick and stay, even though the all-world,
you know, why receiver coach is gone?
I mean, 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 going to 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 want to come where they're going to 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. Clare,
you know, you're getting the ball.
It's going to get thrown to you.
It's going to get thrown to you often,
and Ryan Bay 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 butt guy.
I agree. You said it.
I didn't even have to say that, and that was not rehearsed.
I knew he was going to 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 going to 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.
Nevada, I know your contact, your people.
People, I know, you 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 them with somebody just as good if not better.
Which is powerful because a lot of schools in Nevada
would crumble lose in a heartline.
Like, do you think they're real quick?
And I'm going to 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 hotline in the offensive coordinator position,
even though he wasn't, you know, 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,
CNN Hooper and Jim Trustle and Urban Meyer.
Yeah, you can go down to the list of great coaches in Ohio State.
But it's not guaranteed that the next step is going to be as good.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, I want to enjoy every moment that Ryan Day is here.
Because it's just, it's surety.
You know, it's surety that your offensive scheme is going to be first right.
It's surety that you're going to be able to get great offensive
and defensive coaches to come work for you.
It's sure that your academics are going to be in order,
that your the quality of kids you're getting is going to be great.
That your recruiting is going to be first right.
That you're always going to have great quarterbacks.
You're always going to 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 you 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 to fire.
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 you know, programs have like over the past 20 years or so being in the Columbus area.
There are some programs who have went down and something that have went up.
Big Warner back, we scrimmaged him in basketball.
We scrimmaged them.
I can't, 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 you know, they got a good program of 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 a house 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 a house state.
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 in his family, who's a stud.
And we're still in on, you know, the monsoons and the other guys.
So I'm saying I have to say I'm laying it all out for you 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 a house state,
it's, you know, it's, you've got such a great reputation and, you know,
it's a, it's a great place for anybody to develop.
And I think Ohio State isn't, you know, you're not breaking the bank.
And I have, but they're not taking a backseat.
You know, they've got their focus kids where they're, they're putting out real money.
I mean, JD Smith is making real money.
That's your drilling saying that they're going to real money.
I've built, 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 Jamira 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 going to believe recruits.
He's one of the guys lead recruiting on Jet Harrison.
So it's like, you know, I, 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 parts at,
where they're heads at in the sole process.
But when they're out there trying to sell a house state 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.

It's the it's called the Medley intro.
And before he starts rapping.
And he's he's like mocking people asking like,
well, he ever fall off?
And he comes in like, no.
And then he starts spitting and he starts rapping his verse.
For those who know, it's it's classic.
You know what I'm talking about?
That's Ohio State.
It's like our haters is like,
are they ever goal 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 a 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 in Nevada.
Yeah.
And, 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 of it.
But if we don't get him, I'm going to be sad.
He's really, really good.
He's really, really good.
If he could go somewhere else, will we survive?
Yes.
We'll 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, that kid is a big time player.
And, you know, I feel like you need that, you know,
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 Quintran Jackins 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 in 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.
Jacobson isn't really that kind of a back.
And 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 in Scarlet Gray.
You brought us some things that, uh,
that trigger some thoughts.
I had a discussion with some buddies.
I'm on 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 Peoples 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 Peoples was supposed to be the guy.
And then, you know, the other guy's chip in.
So, with that said,
Bo Jackson and 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 to back.
And he wasn't quite ready.
He was coming off the injury.
You know, like all of that takes time to get your ladies 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 lanes forward.
He gets north very quick.
But he got walked.
Okay.
He needs to 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 another 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 Tray 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 it.
Any thoughts on that?
Well, you also remember that Bo was coming off
a pretty significant injury from his senior year.
You know what I'm saying?
And so one year removed from that,
you're not going to be as good as you're going to be two years from
right from that.
So to me, that's the big thing.
So would have loved to see him in the spring,
see how bouncing spring 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.
If you pick some, even just a little bit of speed,
a little bit of explosiveness,
you know, 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 abandon
coming off an injury that 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 him
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, I, you know, Turbo is 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 wildcard.
And again, as I mentioned before, Legend Bay.
Another wildcard 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 amount of Turbo Rodgers.
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 it.
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, uh, 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're throwing the football around.
I might even have white, white, the little bit of sweat.
And then it was 30 this morning here in Columbus.
That's crazy.
Bro, and it's supposed to be like 40s, 50s, and then go back up.

Enjoy Daytona Beach.
Nevada Buck is going to be in Buffalo
the rest of this week, starting tomorrow.
I'll 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 do do.
So tomorrow in Buffalo, New York,
a high of 34 Wednesday, 48 is the high Thursday.
Goes up 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're 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 through Sunday.
If they lose, I could be out of there earlier.
So hopefully we're still playing on Sunday.
That would be there 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 low chilly.
Chili 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,
BMO's is in Helsinki, Nova Scotia.
Buck, that's right.
I'll post in my, um, go ahead.
I'm Buffalo, I'm Buffalo Buck now.
I'm Buffalo, Buffalo Buck.
To be fair, um, 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'm meeting you know, I'm saying he probably on it right now.
He probably sending one right now.
As we speak, our guy's stilly bat, um, it's funny.
Um, I was talking to my wife.
I was like, I posted my ax video and she's like, um,
she 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, uh, ax throw him before I did.
So I'm like, okay.
And she's like, well, you got to do this.
Put your arm up.
My art is cool.
Cool.
And then I start getting it.
But she's a little competitive as well.
We got a competitive house.
So, um, you know, when it comes to activities and sports and about it.
Well, yeah, it's, it's, uh, I want to even ask
our 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.
And if you can get hurt bowling,
if you can get hurt bowling,
you can sure that 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, uh, they got pickleball courts.
They've got shuffleboard.
You ever heard of the, uh, uh, 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.
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 are those
fatter pins, but they both have small, like balls,
but yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Okay, so similar.
It's similar.
They had an arcade, um, 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 throwing 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, they got like some secret security behind the door
waiting to jump out or something.
Good, good, good insurance.
And, and I tell you what, you got to do that, that duck pin
bowling, those, those small bowling balls.
Yeah, kills, kills your arm.
Like your arm will be hanging down by the next thing.
You'll be like, oh, man.
That's really everything.
That's just wrecked, wrecked your arm.
It can be deceptive because they're, they're heavier than they look,
for sure.
But yeah, it was fun.
It was good stuff.
All right.
Let me see what I tell you.
Still be bad.
Thanks, man.
Well, you know, okay, a little bug.
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 buckeye with other elite
Y receiver targets favoring us,
it shows you how good a Y receiver coach Cortez Hankens is.
Kudos to Ryan Day.
Now, Geo did, we were told he was a bum,
and he didn't develop people.
That's what we heard from people.
But anyway, no, Hankens, 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 say ever go viral?
I mean, that's it'll be our last video.
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 went over to the middle of the barrel
with the Nevada Buckle with the Niagara Falls?
I've never seen Niagara Falls.
Have you ever been in Niagara Falls before?
I haven't.
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 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 there, yeah, you know what I'm saying?
If we if we do go up, maybe we'll like go to Canada after that
or like like into Canada, you know what I'm saying?
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 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 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 we'll take him.
Another stuff I receive or come on down.
Big fella.
More Harrison's please.
More styles, you know, kids, please.
More J.J. Smith, Angelo, whoever.
Come play here at our house.
They any last words before we bang out of here, Devata?
Yeah, no.
Jet Harrison's that it's a good one.
This is one you definitely got him on.
Commitment watch and we're going to be monitoring this one
closely.
But yeah, this would be a great a great get for our state
and a great indication that the the train keeps rolling along.
Absolutely.
All right, man, I was just about to love 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, I scoop family book, I nation.
We love you all.
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.
You
