Buckeye Scoot Family Buckeye 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 Ohio State

to 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 Buckeyes 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 dollars for something before he's gone.

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.

How many, 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 Heartline 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.

You, 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 Heartline 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?

It'd be like, if your name wasn't,

wasn't brand-in, but it was like,

be hops, Moses, or something like that.

Or, hopefully, Moses.

Oh, holy Moses.

Oh, yeah, what I heard it.

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 that's the way that that's turning as well.

So this would, 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 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, 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 what 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 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, if you can possibly make a knock on a guy as great as Marvin Harrison was,

at Ohio State. I mean, you know, 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, you know, you know, jet just looks twitchy

year 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 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 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 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 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.

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 would 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 was there for you not to want to come here. You know,

you know what I'm saying? I mean, because all these these days are not stupid. They're looking at

and kind of going, okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Garrett Wilson, Chris Alon, the Marvin

Garrett 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 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, Barn 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, Mark, you know, Marvin Harrison, you know, Jr. certainly has has out surpassed his

high school recruiting ranking in terms of where he was wrapped 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 being 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 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 Jett 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, to double down on being a Buckeye even more.

I'll touch on that briefly. What's the common denominator for a Jett 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

in 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 saying, you've got Taving St. Clair, 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 Day is certainly the, he's the

comedy denominator. He's the one thing that's there that's not changed about Ohio State. And

another reason why I think yet Harrison ends up a butt guy. I agree. You said it. I didn't even

have to say that 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 heart line.

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 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 Jim Trustle, and Urban Meyer.

Yeah, you've gone on most of great coaches in Ohio State, but it's not guaranteed that 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 sureity, you know, it's sureity that your offensive scheme

is going to be first right. It's sureity that you're going to be able to get great offensive

and defensive coaches to come work for you. It's it's sure that your academics are going to be

in order, that you're the quality of kids you're getting is going to be great, that your recruiting

is going to be a first rate, 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 a guarantee of greatness

for Ohio State, and that you can't really say that about a lot of coaches in college 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 Jermere Brown,

I have on the screen, and they're seven on seven. I'm 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,

in the 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 some that

have went up. Big Warner back, we scrimmaged him in basketball. We scrimmaged them. 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 they've been really good in recent years,

and you know, 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 a house date. 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 date. 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

a 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 in, 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 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 recruitment train, 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 and then I have, but they're not taking a backseat.

You know, they've got their focused kids where they're putting out real money. I mean,

JD Smith is making real money that you're 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 Jimmy or Brown, I always look at, you know, how,

how is he reacting with the other recruits? And he's the guy who's one of our leader recruiters.

He's the guy that's going to believe recruit. He's one of the guys, you know,

leave 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 parts at, where they're heads at in the sole process.

But when they're out there trying to sell, we'll house the other people as well. To me,

that really speaks volumes. Yeah, man, I'm getting excited thinking about these future kids.

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

barring something crazy happening, he's going to 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 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 heartline going, you're done. For real?

You think so? Yeah. I don't think so. And that's no knock on heartline. It's just

we just we're not 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 to 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 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 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 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. He's really, really good.

He's really, really good. If he goes 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 know, you need that at the

running back position to really be, you know, like last year, if I had a criticism of our 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

last year. And in 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 crazy, 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, and maybe Legend Bay's that guy, you know,

maybe Legend Bay is that guy that can kind of make those things happen, but David Gabriel George

is most certainly that guy, and I want to see him in Starlight Gray.

You brought up some things that trigger some thoughts. I had a discussion with some buddies

on mine about this, and we'll get to Super Chat. We're going to have a harder stop tonight in a

little bit, and we'll get to Super Chat, 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, 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 needed 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 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 break

away 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. He squeezed through the hole and exploded downfield. I'm like, oh, 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 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, 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 it 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 injury unrelated to the high school one,

should be back, you know, will go in the summer and then the fall. But 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.

And he was crazy. You know, I mean, he was just running away from guy. So I absolutely believe he

can do it. Now, 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, 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 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, 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 them 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 okay. He's absolutely a wild card. And again, as I mentioned before, Legend Bay,

another wild card of this 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 rogers. Oh, man. 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 experience

of how state running back on the roster as far as that's available right now. Like, you know,

because you know, Isaiah and Bo are not are not practicing. So you got to step up and lead and

do your thing and carve out some playing time. I mean, come on, man. Let's do it. I want to see it.

All right. Real quick. Keep 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. Listen, this is just Ohio weather. This is what it is. Hey, there. It's Ryan Seacrest for Safeway.

like that anywhere else other than the Midwest, where it just goes 85 to 30 to 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

with 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. 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

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 plan. And so it depends on what they

win. If they keep winning, we'll be there. If they lose, I could be out of there earlier. So

hopefully we're still playing on Sunday. That would be, that would be good news.

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 snow like that, but still

going to be low 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, shot out the Scoot family, the axe,

and master B Moses and Hillsinski Nova Scotia buck. That's right. I'll post in my

go ahead. I'm Buffalo, 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'm meeting you know,

I'm saying, he probably on it right now. He probably sent it on right now. As we speak,

our guy's stilly bat. It's funny. I was talking to my wife. I was like, I posted my axe video.

And she's like, she's like, you tell them that I taught you how? I was like, yes, did I

told them that I quickly passed you by after a round or two? Cause she did. She had, she went,

she done an axe 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, um, you know, when it comes to activities and sports and

about it. Well, yeah, it's, it's, I want to even ask her your wife learn how to throw the axe

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 people get hurt bowling, if you can get her

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 went 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. It was candle pin, candle pin bowling

or duck pin bowling. Oh, I guess duck pins different. Candle pins like the thin pins and duck

pins are those fatter pins. But they both have small like balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

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

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 didn't 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

go out there and do that duck to mold those, those small bowling balls. Yeah, kills, kills

your arm. But your arm will be hanging down by the next thing. You'll be like, oh, man,

this really everything. That just wrecks your arm. It can be deceptive because they're heavier than

they look for sure. But yeah, it was fun. It was good stuff. All right. Let me see what I'll tell

you. Still be mad. Thanks for not okay. A little buck. See? He was, he was typing as soon as we

were talking, typing. I love it, man. All right. G.O. did. Thanks for the five with Jet Harrison wanting

to be a buck eye with other elite Y receiver targets favoring us. It shows you how good a Y receiver

coach Cortez Hankins is kudos to Ryan Day. Now on G.O. did we were told he was a bum and he didn't

develop people and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 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, I'm saying 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 like that. What do you think? Be

good idea. It would go viral. I mean, that's it'll be our last video, you know. But 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, that I went over to barrel with about a bucket of 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 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, 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 up there, yeah, you know what I'm saying? If we do go up, maybe we'll

like go to Canada after that or 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 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 that any last words before we bang out of here, Nevada. Yeah, no, Jet Harrison's,

that's, it's a good one. This is one, you know, definitely we got him on commitment watching.

We're going to be monitoring this one closely. But yeah, this would be a great, a great

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 to, y'all are silly. Everything, he said,

everything I learned about Canada, I learned from South Park and that blame Canada's all

on pop to 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 all. Also check dev out tonight. I believe

dev is going tonight in a little bit. So hop on with dev in the meantime, peace and go bucks.
