We are in the midst of an AMAZING era of OSU football !

Let’s just hope it equates to championships . I’m so sick of saying this Ohio state team was talented but didn’t win the championship.

My only push back would be, are we going to be a much more rush-heavy team? Will the WR's have as many opportunities as they usually have here?

[@LifestyleTuneup]

Question for Freaky Friday. How does Will Howard compare to Craig Krenzel? From my perspective, there appears to be mental and physical similarities.

[@Yougotadollar]

GO BUCKS!!!!!!

[@dexx3945]

As someone who played a ton of NCAA 14, and knowing how the game rates freshman, I think he'll be an 85/86. Which would be extremely high for freshman standards in ncaa games. But him being a 90+ by week 3 can happen.

[@OfficiallyOrca]

After watching how JJ's recruitment was handled last year and Hartline being quoted "As long as I am the WRs coach at Ohio State he expects Smith to sign with Ohio State". I can see why now. Smith was the number 1 overall recruit in the country last cycle NUMBER 1 OVERALL REGARDLESS OF POSITION!!! This isn't a slight at WRs this year but you can tell some parents are thinking that their son is parallel to Smith. Some are worried about Lamborghinis instead of development and want their recruitment to be somewhat similar to JJs in terms of prestige and reputation. Again, No disrespect to any recruit coming in but if a family is giving Hartline the run around I personally wouldn't want that player in our locker as a part of this program. Harrison JR was the first WR selected in the 2024 NFL draft. Hartline is one coach who doesn't have much to say because what does with his players works.

[@MagentsAreFun]

Can we just not? I'm very excited to have Jeremiah Smith and I'm looking forward to seeing how he plays. I'd rather not hamper my enjoyment of the upcoming season by comparing a true freshman to Cris Carter. Every year the expectations get built up so high. We've won nothing of importance for last three years. Let's start there. I just want to beat that team up north. We've been the more talented team all three of those years. Sick of hearing about talent and ready to see results. Season can't get here soon enough.

[@taxisquad11]

JJ is faster, taller and stronger than Cris Carter.

[@W00D3Ys]

So Birm, Jeremiah for heisman x3

I speak for all Ohio State fans when I say Devin Brown is Our QB1

This is probably putting too much pressure on him. I know cfb is a little slow in June, but this doesn't seem an appropriate for a video

[@johnnyoldenjr.]

How many catches has he made in games😂😂😂

[@thespot5722]

I think with the talent at QB for next year it's gonna be scary

[@MegaSlowe]

I'm holding out on Jeremiah Smith until I see him play in some actual games. Marvin Harrison didn't even see much playing time until the Rose Bowl his freshman season, and he's the best WR I've ever seen at Ohio State.

[@tyler2009123]

He was playing behind two top 15 NFL draft picks. No such thing in front of JJ. Plus, Marv wasn’t even close to as good as he was coming out of HS

[@taxisquad11]

AND Marvin said Smith will be better than he was as a Freshman

[@anthonywadlington1173]

You haven't seen him play? Scouts who are careful with their words, are calling him generational.

[@jamesniday9236]

Have you EVER heard of Ryan Williams,who is faster,quicker, and more explosive than Smith. Although not as well paid.What about Caleb Odom,who is actually bigger,stronger,and just as fast and athletic as Smith,with a BIGGER catch radius. Again doesnt make the money Smith does. What about Derek Meadows,who is Taller,faster,and has a much longer wingspan than Smith?....I believe they will be the face of college football....

I’m sure he’ll be a great draw for fans and draft really high. Seriously, the guy hasn’t taken a snap and you’re already worshipping him. 😐 Great development strategy! Anoint him and throw lots of money at him and say please when you ask him to care about your program. He may just show up for a bowl game….or not.

@@taxisquad11 I agree. So I've heard. But like Kirk B. said in a recent podcast about guys doing well in practice but not being able to get it done in games. I mean I have good vibes about the young man to but let him play in a game first. At this rate even if he plays well if he's anything less than great we'll be hearing about how disappointing he is. It's not fair to him. Just let him play.

Percy Harvin was about half the size of JJ Smith. Before JJ Smith a WR had never been the #1 player in a class. Some say he could play in the NFL today

[@andrewmueller9986]

Julian Fleming was number 1 in his class

@@andrewmueller9986 He played at a very small school that ran a wing T offense, they rarely passed the ball. No one at that level in Pennsylvania had anything close to Fleming. JJ Smith played for one of Florida's football powers

It is perfectly fair to him. He's been hearing it since he's been in the 8th grade. it drives him to work all that harder, to prove he's the best WR in the country,

[@andrewmueller9986]

@@taxisquad11 Yes I know the differences in their high schools. I know that Flemings team mostly ran the ball. Nonetheless he was ranked as the number 1 player in the call.
