Recruiting Strategy & Spring Game Preview
Devin sets the tone by explaining his decision to slow down recruiting updates until closer to signing day, focusing instead on spring football and key recruiting developments. He highlights the Buckeyes' strategic patience and expanding net in recruiting.
Offensive Line Recruiting Surge
“I really like Jackson Roper. I really like the way he moves. Very athletic and might be out of the remaining targets. He's up there for me.”
Defensive Back & Defensive Line Targets
“If a coach Walt could pull this one out, that would be amazing.”
Strategic Recruiting & NIL Realities
“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.”
Spring Game Hype & Final Thoughts
Devin builds excitement for the upcoming spring game, highlighting key players to watch like Julian Sands, Tavian St. Clair, and Jaquaden Guilford. He wraps up with a trivia segment, a shoutout to fans, and a promise of more content on Thursday.
“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.”
“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.”
“The defensive line is one group in this recruiting class that the piggy bank is going to be poured out for.”
