What I Know, What I Think, What I Wonder – The Many Camps Edition

I know that if Ohio State wants to use the Jack as a recruiting tool, they need to start showing it on the football field this year. You can’t keep talking about it. Also, what’s the point in recruiting a player type that you’re not going to use and is both too big to be a linebacker and too small to be a defensive end?

I think the continued usage of the Jack in recruiting tells me we’re going to see it in some form this year. Recruits need to see the proof of concept.

I wonder what it would be like to watch a 2028 Ohio State offense with Eric McFarland and 2027 Wayne receiver Jamier Brown, who only holds the national freshman record for the 60M dash. Oh, and 2026 receiver Chris Henry, Jr., who will be a veteran by that point. Will Tavien St. Clair still be around by that point? Will the Big Ten and SEC have decided to get married and make a baby by then? Stay tuned!

I know I really like the Quincy Porter commitment. He looks like he will be an effective red-zone target, but also a guy who can get yards after the catch. He’s not a possession receiver who will just catch the ball and get tackled or go out of bounds. He wants to do more with it.

I think Faheem Delane could be the strong safety in this class. He played on the boundary a lot last year and has some Lathan Ransom to his game around the line of scrimmage. That doesn’t mean he can’t play free safety, however. Sometimes you see HUDL highlights and have a pretty good idea of which safeties will not be playing centerfield. Jayden Bonsu, for example, always felt like a strong safety or an “in-the-box safety,” and that’s exactly where he was this spring. I don’t have that same feeling about Delane.

I wonder what it would take for some people to have an honest conversation about the biggest cheating scandal in modern college football history and the impact it could have had game to game. Also, just because it stopped doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. “We’re not even cheating anymore” is not actually a sound argument.
