Recruiting Strategy & Spring Game Preview
Devin sets the tone for the episode, explaining his decision to slow down recruiting updates until closer to signing day and previews the upcoming spring game with excitement for new talent.
Offensive Line Recruiting Surge
“We've got Sam Greer in the boat, Carter Lowe. You've got to have those big tackle size. I mean, these past two years we're used to seeing essentially guards go out and play tackle for us.”
Cornerback Recruitment & NIL Realities
“If you want to be in on guys like the Buckeyes are on David Jacobs, right? I know number one defensive end in the nation. Buckeyes landed his commitment super early, kind of out of the blue, but that doesn't come cheap.”
Defensive Line Targets & Larry Johnson's Commitment
“He is telling them, man, I'm going to be around, right? Like he told one recruit that he's sticking around specifically for this class because how much potential there is in this defensive line class.”
Spring Game Expectations & Young Talent
Devin previews the spring game, expressing excitement for Tavian St. Clair, Julian Sands, and new recruits like Jaquaden Guilford, while cautioning against overreaction despite limited live action.
“You know, you sign a high schooler, you give him half a million dollars, he shows up and you can kind of see that he's probably not going to be contributing his sophomore year anymore. You're letting him go. Well, that's $500,000 gone down the drain.”
