Oh, wow, oh, wow!

My perfect day at sand saltwater and friends,

but my moderate to severe plaque's rise

is can take me out of the moment.

Now I'm all in with clearer skin thanks to SkyRizzy,

RisenKizm at Rizza, a prescription only 150 milligram

injection for adults who are candidates

for systemic or phototherapy.

With SkyRizzy, most people saw a 90% clearer skin

and many were even 100% plaque free at four months.

SkyRizzy is just four doses a year

after two starter doses.

Don't use if allergic to sky-rizzy.

Serious allergic reactions, increased infections,

or lower ability to fight that may occur.

Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis.

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,

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 I know you got some stuff coming out what's going on.

Yeah, just kind of sad that Ohio State

to make the sweet 16.

But hey, we're in the spring football.

Lots of great things going on.

And some recruiting stuff really starting

to pick up for the black guys as well.

And the Ohio State brands never been hotter.

And they announced today, Jackson's fifth in Jigba,

is now the highest paid wide receiver in the history of the NFL.

I think it was like 120, 130 million guaranteed, 42 million a year.

This is a point of reference, Justin Jefferson's

at 35 million a year.

So that's 20% higher than Justin Jefferson

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

And obviously, all those things, whenever that happens,

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

And the answer is considerably, because all these guys

want to get paid.

They want to develop.

They want to go on to NFL Riches.

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

going to make in the NFL?

You're not $500 million dollars or 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 NAL money

developed the culture over cash.

And great day for the black guys with Jackson's fifth in Jigba.

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

Yep, reaching agreement with Seattle

on a four year 168.6 million contract extension

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

Like Nevada said, the deal of averages,

excuse me, 42.15 million per year

and includes over 120 million guaranteed

both setting records for any wide receiver.

So yeah, listen, this is what we do.

We do this, man.

And so for those who thought that, you know,

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,

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 generational five star phenom

that we are referring to.

And who is that?

Nevada, you want to get into that?

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

jet Harrison is one of the great football names

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

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

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

or...

Oh, holy Moses.

Holy Moses.

Oh, yeah, what a hurt.

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 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,

you're heralded than brother Marvin.

And because I mean, Marvin came in and,

I mean, I'm not saying he wasn't regarded a good writer here,

but it wasn't like, oh, wow.

Like this guy is the next, you know, 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 going on 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 matting

or something you make in a creative player,

that's a creative player name.

And so I'm gonna pull those highlights up,

but you're right, people forget Marvin Harrison

was like a four star.

A 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 gonna pull him up now.

But I want your thoughts on the differences.

I know the differences, some of the differences I see

and also see some similarities with him with Marvin.

But there's some things that I feel like

he is just low key, better at jet is over Marvin.

And so I wanted to get your thoughts on jet

and then I'll jump in.

Well, I mean, to me, the one knock that I would have

on Marvin, if you can possibly make a knock

on a guy as great as Marvin Harrison was at Ohio State.

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

and completely torn it up,

but 12 or 14 TDs in two years, 14 high yard,

686 yards this year despite only playing 12 games.

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

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,

great catch radius, really strong guy.

But I think Jack's more explosive.

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

in a number of different positions.

And I think he could play in that slot,

that Jackson Smith and Jigba spot.

But I also think he's a type of guy

that could take the top off on the defense.

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

which that just sounds kind of crazy saying that.

But that's how I see him.

And be interested to hear what your perspectives

are on jet Harrison.

No, I agree.

I think he's clearly more explosive.

But he also high points the ball just as well

as Marvin Harrison was.

Because Marvin Harrison in his high school film,

he did a good job with 50, 50 balls.

But also, look at the route.

Let me go back here to about right here.

Look at this route coming up.

Hold on to the next clip.

All right, here we go.

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

Boom.

And he gets hailed like stuff like that to me is just like,

OK, 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.

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 Billboard years recently

that said that 20 billion won.

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 in our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger

and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

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.

That's pound 529 from your cell phone.

We are always open.

Our call center is 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 forthepeople.com for an office near you.

Because, honestly, sometimes these family member brothers

or whatever don't end up going to some schools

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

that was not a good situation, low key.

The public might not know it.

You know what I'm saying?

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

who might be even better, that just shows how dope the program.

And that's without 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 a receiver of this category.

But, you know, if you're jet Harrison, you'd have to,

I mean, Marvin would have had to have had a really bad experience

when I was there for you not to want to come here.

You know what I'm saying?

I mean, because all 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,

but 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 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

of that 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 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 Jett to go 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 Jett Harrison's going to end up

as a backer.

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 or being a

backer 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 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 common 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 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 losing a heartline.

Like, do you think that real quick,

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

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

that other schools, most other schools

would crumble losing a stud recruiter-like heartline?

No, I don't think that's, I mean, look, Ohio State

was concerned about it.

So, so concerned that they gave 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,

you've gone on both some great coaches at Ohio State,

but it's not guaranteed that the next step

is gonna be as good, you know what I'm saying?

So, like, I want to enjoy every moment

at Ryan Days here because it's just, it's surety, you know,

it's surety that your offensive scheme

is gonna be first right, it's surety

that you're gonna be able to get great offensive

and defensive coaches to come work for you.

It's sure that your academics are gonna be in order,

that your, the quality of kids you're getting

is gonna be great, that your recruiting's gonna be first

right, that you're always gonna have great quarterbacks,

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

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

and will we survive when he inevitably moves on,

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 Iowa 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 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 Jimair 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 area to a high school called Big Wanda.

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 Wanda back, we scrimmaged him in basketball,

we scrimmaged him, I can't, my junior year, senior year.

Anyway, we played at Big Wanda, and they wouldn'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 Wanda,

but then some others told me 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 Wanda is not that far

from Columbus.

So he was interviewed and asked why he did that,

and wanted the main things he said

is so he can be closer to a Ohio state.

I know there were some who were concerned

about visits he might take in heartline leaving,

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

In fact, he's putting his money

where his mouth is by moving closer to a program

so he can be closer to a Ohio state.

And I mean, that's his words.

So I mean, this is another five star stud

that could have left and demanded top dollar

with heartline leaving.

And so this is just more proof.

Now listen, obviously there's time

between now and signing day.

But the evidence says he's not leaving,

barring something crazy happening.

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

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

and the other guys.

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

It's not over till it's over,

but the evidence right now shows

that we're still pointing in that trajectory

we ain't stopping this while receiver

with Crouton Train, Nevada.

Well, yeah, no, it's, you know,

I think for Ohio 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 then I have,

but they're not taking a back seat.

You know, they've got their focused kids

where they're putting out real money.

I mean, J.J. Smith is making real money

that you're drilling and saying

they're going to get a real money out of the belt.

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 brand,

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 lead recruiters.

He's the guy that's going to believe recruit.

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 really speaks volumes.

Yeah, man, I'm getting excited

thinking about these future kids

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