Recruiting Strategy & Spring Game Preview
Devin opens with a brief intro, sets the tone for a shorter but informative show, and outlines the focus: recent recruiting updates and spring football excitement. He emphasizes Ohio State’s strategic, wide-net recruiting approach and previews the upcoming spring game.
Offensive Line Recruiting Updates
“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.”
Defensive Back & Defensive Line Recruiting
“The Buckeyes are going to be ponying up for this defensive line class and Larry Johnson will be sticking around for this defensive line class.”
Spring Game Anticipation & Player Breakouts
“I'm excited to see Julian saying out there and see his command of this offense. Because even the starters, you know, I don't think we're going to see an Austin Sarah vote or Phillip Daniels out there for that game.”
Fan Engagement & Trivia
Devin runs a trivia question about the 2024 leading tackler, reveals Cody Simon as the answer, and encourages listeners to send in clips from the spring game for potential show features.
“If 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.”
“The Buckeyes are going to be ponying up for this defensive line class and Larry Johnson will be sticking around for this defensive line class.”
“Ohio State got his commitment for a reason. Okay? So it's going to be extremely hard for somebody to pull him away from Ohio State, even if he is all about NIL.”
