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-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 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 up. What's going on?
Yeah, just kind of sad that Ohio State to make the sweet 16.
But, you know, hey, we're in the spring football.
Lots of great things going on.
And some recruiting stuff really starting to pick up for the buck-eyes as well.
And, you know, the Ohio State brands
never been hotter.
And, you know, they announced today,
Jackson's 5th and Jigba is now the highest paid white 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 5th 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's 5th and Jigba going to make in the NFL?
You're not $500 million dollars for something before he's gone.
Great.
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 NA, all money,
you know, developed your culture over cash.
And, you know, great day for the black guys with Jackson's 5th 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 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,
trestle 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 wide 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 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 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,
it wasn't brand-in, but it was like
be hops, Moses or something like that.
Or hold me, Moses.
Hold me, Moses.
Oh, yeah, what I heard it.
I mean, like, hey, mom and dad, you shouldn't name me holy.
That would 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 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 they, you know,
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 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, 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 making a creative player.
That's a creative player name.
And so I'm going to 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 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 lowkey 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, 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 athletic Harrison, which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that.
But that's how 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 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.
Hey, there.

Because, honestly, sometimes these family member brothers or whatever
don't end up going to some schools because they like them.
My brother was, that was not a good situation.
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 there'd be a great endorsement of kind of for life after heartline
that you could land, you know, a receiver of this, of this category.
But, you know, if you're jet Harrison, you'd have, I mean, Marvin would have had to have
had a really bad experience.
So I would 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, 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, literally the best one of the bunch of JJ Smith
is the next one.
So I, I don't, I mean, you never like to say the knitting is a mortal 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, you know, Marvin Harrison, you know,
junior certainly has has out surpassed his high school recruiting ranking
in terms of where he was drafted and 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 short of,
you know, there'd be just one of the things where you just don't want to go
on your 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 did 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 jet hair since you're going to end up as a biker.
Yeah.
And so let me ask you, I was going to kind of go into a spiel,
but I want to 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 on being a biker 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?
Well, 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, 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 the 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. 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 competent nominator.
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 bad 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, Nevada,
would crumble losing a heartline.
Like, do you think that 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 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 at Ryan Days 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've gone on both so 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 at Ryan Days 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 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
waivers here. You know what I mean, there's just a lot that comes along with Ryan Day,
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 in college 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 Jermaine 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, Nevada. 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. 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
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 and 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.
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 in,
we're still in on, you know, the monsoons and the other guys. So I'm saying I have to say I'm
landing 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
train, 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 great place for anybody to
develop. And I think Ohio State isn't, you know, you're not breaking the bank. And I know,
but they're not taking a back seat. 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 you're drilling
saying that they're going to real money. They'll 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 kill at your mirror
brown, I was like, you know, how, how is he reacting with the other recruits? And he's the guy
who's one of our lead recruiters. He's the guy that's one of the lead recruiters. He's one of the
guys 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 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,
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.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?
It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and
a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty
awesome. I think I saw billboarders recently that said 20 billion one. 20 million is an insane
number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere in North probably closer to
22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows, so the number
will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in
contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way
is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open or call centers
always waiting to take your call. 24 7 365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan, America's
largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit for the
people dot com for an office near you. Like fan, like he is a stud and barring something crazy
happening. He going to be a book guy. So imagine the speed on the outside with that type of NFL
back. And just the talent we got coming in is 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? I don't think so. And that's no
knock on heart line. It's just we just we're not we're going to do whatever we need to do to stay
on top. You know, I'm saying a higher, you know, whatever. And so just appreciate it. I'm telling
him about it 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, well, 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,
are 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 about it.
Yeah. And yeah, you sent me mentioned David Gabriel, George. Like that's a guy I said this
before, but I bears repeating. I know I say get excited about every recruit. And then I don't
get sad about anywhere. But if we don't get him, I'm going to be sad. Me too. 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 kid is a big time player. And 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 Tray Henderson and Quintran
Jenkins year before. But I didn't feel like we were really explosive at the running back last year.
And in projects, it'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
Tray Henderson. Every time Tray 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 both, both 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 Scarlett and Gray.
You brought up some things that trigger some thoughts. I had a discussion with some buddies
in mind about this. And we'll get to super chats. We're going to have a, a harder stop tonight
in a little bit. 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. 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 guys 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 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 downfield. 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 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 us and about any thoughts on that.
Well, you also remember that Bo was coming off a pretty significant injury from his 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 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, he was just running away from guys. So I absolutely
believe he can do it. 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 abandon coming off an injury that he will be this year, you know, his confidence
is going to be in 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 and 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, it is, I mentioned before, Legend Bay. Another wild card of this thing,
what kind of guy like that do with the ball in his hands? But yeah, certainly, turbo would be one
that would that would be a nice surprise into 2026 if we get some out of turbo rotors. 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 Bo 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.
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 wiped a 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.

I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan Morgan, which is America's
largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said
20 billion one. 20 billion is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think
somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better
and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into
an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone.

ton of beach. Nevada buck is going I'm 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 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 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 or Saturday but well it's not
it's it's the national championships for hockey for for high school and my daughter's playing and
so it depends on if they win if they keep winning will be there 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. Yep
now it doesn't look like it's going to be like typical Buffalo crazy like you when you look on
TV at the bills games like man this is crazy it's not going to be someone like that but still
going to be low chili chili up in Buffalo this week but it's all good you're there for a great great
cause still he Matt member for three months shout out to Scoot family the axe master B Moses and

yes did I told them that I quickly passed you by after a round or two because she did she had
she went she done uh axe throwing 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
them well yeah it's it's uh I want to even ask 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 axe
times a thing and stuff but like axon and drinking it like like like there's just gotta be like so
many accidents and stuff and if you can get hurt bowling if you can get hurt bowling you can
sure as I get hurt axe throwing right yeah I just I'm sorry the play on words when you said
accident you know just putting it together you know that I'm accident that 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 uh they
got pickleball courts they've got shuffleboard you ever heard of the 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 was candle pin candle pin bowling or duck pin bowling
yeah 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 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 I was like man you

pin bowling those the small bowling balls yeah it kills your arm like your arm will be hanging
