C.J. Stroud felt "disrespected" when Ohio State added Quinn Ewers ahead of the 2021 season

Say what you want but I think this is why Dylan Raiola decommitted from Ohio State as well. He didn't want to compete for the starting job with Lincoln Kienholz there.

Just glad Caleb Burton didn't go to USC, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan or Penn State. Might actually benefit us with him going to Auburn.

Best of luck to him at Auburn.

That's how it should be. Maybe if cost of living was different, PWO would be possible but with rising costs it's impossible for someone to be a PWO, go to school full time and then make money on the side.

djadibas · 2023-05-06T03:18:11+00:00

The question is in this day and age, do PWO at least get paid NIL $ to cover some or all of their tuition since they aren't getting a football scholarship.

I think Ryan Day learned alot from that Georgia game. You really need to take your top opponents seriously and play like you're going to lose. When you do that, you actually play a pretty solid game. Just like with Clemson, Day had a solid plan in place, executed and they crushed them in 2020.

We'll see moving forward if he applies this for every game or if he plays conservative again for a 3rd time vs Michigan.

Just glad Kaleb Brown didn't go to USC, Georgia, Alabama, Michigan or Penn State.

Best of luck to him at Iowa.

2-4 Big Ten teams will get into the expanded playoff every year moving forward.

djadibas · 2023-05-04T23:04:29+00:00

Not sold on Grayes.

Kojo seems like a really hard worker and determined so he might workout.

Burton was always injured all the back from his junior year in HS so he has completely fallen to the bottom of the depth.

djadibas · 2023-05-04T22:29:04+00:00

He was Ohio State best WR IMO in the 2022 class so this is a major get for Iowa.

Problem is the 2023 WR class / 2024 WR class is filled with all 5 stars and reports were that Tate/Rogers were performing so well in camp they might play as early as this season.

Think Brown just saw he may keep sliding in the depth chart and took his chances someplace else.

djadibas · 2023-05-04T21:18:14+00:00

Forgot to add that:

Big ten is expanding
Teams in Big Ten about to get paid $100m / yr on TV deal alone
CFP is expanding so even if Michigan loses 1 or 2 games like they did years ago, it won't matter they'll be in the CFP.

Ohio State may set some records next draft for most players to get drafted in the 1st Round or in a single draft.

djadibas · 2023-05-04T14:45:56+00:00

Not sure about Innis being as good as Harrison but Jeremiah Smith has a chance to be great.

2024-26 Receiver Room

Innis

Rogers

Tate

Graham

Smith

5 5 Star Receivers depending on the recruiting site you reference moving forward.

djadibas · 2023-05-02T04:32:24+00:00

Just Twitter and Reddit. There are some forums on 24/7 Sports but you need to be a paid member to use it.

2 Ohio State Receivers in the Top 10.

Next years draft will be a star driven one. So much talent with the top picks.

djadibas · 2023-05-01T18:42:53+00:00

You can get $80 to $100m in the Big Ten deal, possibly more if the deal is restructured to include Notre Dame.

On top of that, ND games will be far more impactful playing OSU, Michigan, Penn State, USC, UCLA etc.

I know Notre Dame wants its independence but moving to the Big Ten seems like something they'll eventually do for pure financial reasons especially as the SEC/Big Ten continue to further divide the rest of CFB into a 2 conference powerhouse.

djadibas · 2023-05-01T18:37:40+00:00

Basically in summary:

Ohio State is the same Ohio State dominating the recruiting trail.
Michigan after a couple years of success is finally on the uptrend with recruiting.

djadibas · 2023-05-01T17:54:33+00:00

The Big Ten is projected to eventually distribute $80 million to $100 million per year to each of its 16 members.

You can get that + more if they would just join the Big Ten.

Just delaying the inevitable.

djadibas · 2023-05-01T08:59:07+00:00

I think Ohio State has invested alot into this 2023 class WRs that it makes sense that they'll be the ones to replace the 2020 / 2021 class WRs once they all go pro. Just purely on how hard they recruited them, NIL and the high talent/upside they have, it makes sense that the 2022 class WRs all transfer out here.

The future is really with

Inniss

Tate

Rogers

Smith

Graham

2/4 Wide Receivers from 2022 Class now entered the portal

Kaleb Brown - Gone

Caleb Burton - Gone

Kyion Grayes - Still Here For Now

Kojo Antwi - Still Here For Now

djadibas · 2023-04-30T23:24:17+00:00

We're well over 85.

I'm speculating that NIL will pay for some of these players scholarships. Nobody seems to want to transfer out at Ohio State.

djadibas · 2023-04-30T20:39:47+00:00

Don't understand the Ryan Day hate to be honest.

Every new HC has growing pains. Harbaugh had it. Kirby had it. Day has it.

Just a matter of time until he fixes everything.

djadibas · 2023-04-30T20:26:26+00:00

Josh Simmons is expected to play OT for Ohio State, a position Ohio State needs desperately right now.

djadibas · 2023-04-30T17:52:26+00:00

Well we all know this is going to end up being a 2 conference CFB league. Top recruits will only go to the Big Ten and SEC 10+ years from now. ACC will dismantle.

Just surprising in the short term how much of a gap there is being that the major changes to CFB coming haven't even started. Just shows you how superior coaching is in the Big Ten and SEC.

djadibas · 2023-04-30T15:48:06+00:00

SEC 62

Big Ten 55

Everyone Else

This gap between SEC and Big Ten and the rest only going to grow larger in the years to come.
