Y’all might have changed a tire, put a clear coat and waxed it, but a Ferrari showed up to Columbus (and that’s no shade, i know you all helped him grow, but be for real, Murda jr was up there from day one)

Then why wasn't he a 5* top 5 type of player if everyone knew he'd be on the level?

Not saying he was a scrub, but he wasn't in the HS rating mix of can't miss/future top 5 draft pick

Wasn't JJ a 5* did he not develop at Mich?

Don't think him (or the other buffoon) is referring to ratings as much as they are who is dad is. But again, if that's the case then we can cancel out most programs for these kids development cuz the majority of them have fam or family friends in the game that they've been working with since they were jits. Obviously, no one is gonna claim 100% of a mf's development but it's hard to even put a # or % on that for Joe Blow no name, let alone the mf with access to all kinds of resources that he prob had. But there's a reason WR's been coming thru the assembly line here, J. Smith being the latest, and it ain't just to "get the exterior waxed and shined".

Recruiting sites all knew who his dad was and must've known he was getting NFL-caliber training from like age 9

I agree that there's no 1 system or school or coach that can take credit for a player's development.

I'll just let young man say it himself :hubie:


Harrison credits Ohio State with helping him develop all of his skills, allowing him to play in a variety of positions and ways. The Buckeyes don’t use Harrison just as an outside vertical threat. They use him in the slot, on shallow crosses and even running the ball, like he did with a 19-yard touchdown against Michigan State earlier this month. His expertise in running a diverse route tree makes him a matchup nightmare.


Clearly he was a baller back at St Joe's being that he was able to even enhance McCord's profile to being anything above a 3⭐, let alone a 5⭐, but he wasn't doing all of what he was doing now or anywhere nearly as polished.

Lane Kiffin just pulled off the BIGGEST Signings of the Transfer Portal, and nobody noticed... Yesterday, Ole Miss announced the commitments of OL Julius Buelow & Nate Kalepo, both transferring in from Washington The duo were both starters at Washington, which makes them a MASSIVE addition. The UW OL was ranked as the #1 OL in the Entire Country last season Getting 2 starters from the best unit in the country is going to change the trajectory for this Ole Miss team, as they will DOMINATE the trenches... HC Lane Kiffin confirmed that the desire for improvement in the trenches was due to Georgia's size. UGA is well known for their physicality at the line of scrimmage, & Ole Miss is following their blueprint There's a lot of solid Linemen in the South, but Kiffin knew he had to recruit NATIONALLY if he wants to compete with the best... that brought him to the West Coast to land the most ELITE Offensive Linemen available Ole Miss has cemented their position as a Top 5 team heading into next season.

Like someone else said, OSU getting these type of classes is nothing new. They stay underachieving.

We have Zy Alexander back he was coming on before his injury and now he’ll some real coaching and the kid from OSU

But secondary will be a question mark next year
