The offensive line recruiting and development is coach malpractice

[Dmoneyy]

Say if Jayden Ballard transfer to Texas and Ohio state ends up playing Texas in the playoffs what’s stopping him from giving Texas the whole Ohio state playbook ?

[WhatWhat-lfbd]

Birm is allowed to ask a recruiting question today, that’s his job.. if ANY of you non recruiting media members ask him ANYTHING other than what happened against TTUN or other difficult question, I will refuse to support that media member again by clicks or money ever again. Days like today are why you people have a job. Go get the fans the tough answers.

[WhatWhat-lfbd]

If Austin Ward asks about the effing transfer portal on Wednesday I will lose my damn mind.

[barrynoble]

Hold coach(s) accountable in pressers. Regardless of the purpose of the opportunity (signing day). We are in the middle of getting “Franklin’ed” - UM happy with our coaching.

IMO This is the worst loss in OSU (modern) history. Yes - I’m including including Purdue, Iowa, and MSU ‘15 - with another top 3 talent team in OSU history against an inferior opponent from Michigan that kept them from all further goals (read and remember that Urban had most of THE worst clunkers). For this one though ALL of the variables were in OSU favor going into this as reflected by the spread. No excuses. Take accountability and change or move on. This is a coaching/scheme problem!

[lewisbeeman]

OSU has been lacking in both recruiting and development in some very important and impactful positions for years. The coaching deficiencies need to be addressed

[Kajh]

Keeping Ryan Day is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result

[markt]

I know we have had problems recruiting oline. I know we missed the big names on oline. We have a ton of 4 star lineman, yet we never act like we get good players. Are we just not developing them?

[RKA]

If the buckeyes had a top-tier development staff, I would take a bunch of three stars that want to work their ass off like Laurinaitis 💯

[andrewjohnson]

What’s the point of having 8 4&5 star receivers on the roster when Ohio state doesn’t rotate WRs. No position group is as large as offensive line you always need 5 to play at a time.

[heidelbergdawg]

Shows crappy recruiting by Frye and Johnson

[matthewwazbinski]

“Oh I didn’t think about that”

Referring to when they need to be ENROLLED IN SCHOOL 😂

[Jon.A.Scholt]

Is there any recruiting class that has failed to live up to the hype as much as the OSU '21 class? OSU media members weren't talking about IF they would win a national title but HOW MANY.

[waynecourt]

How do they let these players leave and possibly give their teams game plan away? JS

[divjak]

@Birm how does this portal thing work when we are still playing - do the guys stay until we’re done? Specifically, Powers is a strong ST guy - is he just gone?

[allensaunders]

Most highschools pass alot so there is pass blocking that's not the issue. It's hard to find 6 ft 7 guys who are athletic enough player's who can play tackle

[kimosabi]

Why enter the portal and continue to play and possibly get hurt/injured?

That makes ZERO SENSE FOR ANY PLAYER TO DO !

[tombrady]

Glad Bill injected sanity into the OL conversation. Why am i supposed to believe in their ability to go out and aggressively get 3 OL in the portal? They should’ve gotten 3 this past year and we got 1.

[mandymanning]

They didn’t mention a field-goal kicker at all

[daviddownie]

Austin walks around the Woody like he owns the place.
He’s nothing but a OSU sunshine pumper
