@Birm Am I reading things wrong or has Ohio State changed their recruiting philosophy away from being a ‘developmental program?’ It seemed like we always started with top end players but then would try to find players that could develop into top players 3-4 years down the road. I think Ohio state has given up on this approach. They seem content on putting out offers only to player they think can help within 2-3 years and supplement through the portal. The lack of quality depth last year might have really driven this home. The days of Devon Hamilton and Trey LaRue seem to be over. Looks like classes will be in around 20 players with 5-8 transfers. Does this seem like it is a the shift they are taking?

Does anyone know where I can find stitched Ohio state jerseys at? Feel like I can only find screen printed jerseys and I’m just not a fan of that style

Did anyone else watch this? Just finished it and while it was pretty good I feel like it is unfinished and probably made too early in his life. Dude was/is wild though.

Here are my picks for guys who probably aren't getting talked about enough this summer. Who makes the list for you all?

Are the defensive players being taught to turn and look for the ball when going against a receiver or is the coaching staff happy with 15 yard penalties? Saw a twitter video where the DB didn’t turn to look for the ball and it would be a PI penalty 10 out of 10 times

I just bought tickets the Michigan ST game, first OSU game are these good seats? SEC: 20B ROW:18 Seat:19 and 20

Are there any photos of the team checking in to the Hyatt as in past years? Don't ask me why, but I always get a kick out of seeing them.

I'm in there chatting already.

Usually I inquire on Twitter for #RQOTD topics but I figure it's probably better for you guys if I ask for them here.

So, let's make this thread the place for the question of the day topics.

Please try and make them clear/concise questions that require a bit more than a yes/no answer and I'll do my best to answer one of them a day.

This ranking blends the high school rank plus the final transfer portal rank into one:

Does this mean I will have to pay more to not see ads starting Oct 5?

In your view what should happen in this case?

This might not be interesting to many but it is to me. I think there is a good chance she will be the replacement for Gene when he retires. This only increases that as she goes out and gets more experience. She is very well thought of.

It feels pretty clear to me now: A starting trio of Ja'Had Carter, Lathan Ransom and Sonny Styles with the chance to work in a true nickel (Martinez, Brown, Turner) in passing situations or against tougher slot matchups.

I really enjoy what I have seen with the new podcast. Really great addition by the staff. I was familiar with Doug L I maybe heard him on 92.3 the fan a couple of times in the past, but so far I have been impressed.. Just wanted to show my appreciation for all the content this staff is trying to Bring us.

We'll take a few questions at the end so if you have one try and make it concise and easily answered, haha.
