Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Buckeye Weekly Podcast. I'm Tony
2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:07.440
Gerdaman here as always with Tom or Tom.
3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.599
How's it going, Tony? I'm gonna have to ask you
4
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.880
how it's going, just so that people don't think, oh,
5
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:16.600
is this Have I already listened to the show? No,
6
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.440
you just listened to a show very similar to this show. So, Tony,
7
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:20.120
how's it going?
8
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.280
You know it's not going too bad. I get in
9
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.239
the podcast, which I love, It's my favorite thing. And
10
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.000
what I also love is like you can take a
11
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.000
seat and you take a breather, and it's like, Nope,
12
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.679
can't take a breather, Gotta do another podcast because something
13
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.679
else has happened. I wish every week was like the
14
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.359
two weeks of the transfer portal that to me, is
15
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.600
a more entertaining season than football.
16
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:45.439
I like.
17
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:51.039
The drama of this, and frankly, but I grew up
18
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.439
on the days of our lives, guiding light all sorts
19
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.479
of things. You know, in summer, we all watched the soaps,
20
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.359
grew up on them.
21
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:58.039
This.
22
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.799
If people only knew the drama that they can enjoy
23
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.760
these two weeks. And if you take these two weeks,
24
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.480
you know, college they expand the college football. They don't
25
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:09.319
like to expand the season. What have you expand the
26
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.000
transfer portal from two weeks to twenty twenty four weeks
27
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.599
and you can really really explore the room. Tom, wouldn't
28
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:17.359
you love that?
29
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.959
Somewhere? Mark Pantoni just got a cold chill and he
30
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:27.920
doesn't know why. But when he hears this, he will know. Gerdaman, No,
31
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.040
I think that there are probably people who would not
32
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.719
appreciate that. Just gonna guess.
33
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.879
I think even at that point the agents are like, no,
34
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.480
too much, too much. But here we are. We are
35
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.680
talking about Ohio State freshman wide receiver Bob penn Miller
36
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.319
joining the ranks of the transfer portal. Spent one season
37
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.319
at Ohio State and is now off to the portal,
38
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.519
and I don't know. Perhaps he will head off to
39
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.480
South Florida with Brian Hartline, who is the guy who
40
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.120
gave him a scholarship offer and with whom they there
41
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:04.519
is certainly a connection there. Bob Miller big six', four
42
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.719
two hundred and fifteen POUNDS x type, receiver but was
43
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.919
a high school quarterback, athlete track, athlete so very raw
44
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:17.360
and was offered it in camp shoot Last Maybe june
45
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.840
before in A june. Camp the years run, together but
46
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.120
it was clearly a guy that was going to have to.
47
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.840
Develop and so on one, hand a guy already entering
48
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.120
the portal at this point is. Surprising but then when
49
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.560
he came To Ohio state to be developed By Brian,
50
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.800
hartline it becomes a little less. Surprising, yes he's From, ohio,
51
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:43.120
well he's he was From, ethiopia moved To ohia when
52
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.719
he was adopted as a five year. Old certainly not
53
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.520
afraid of, change but this one feels like a little
54
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:51.360
bit of a surprise because he is so, young and
55
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:52.879
he is so new and he hasn't been around. Much
56
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.960
but then also the person he went to college to
57
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.560
be developed by is In South, florida and so the ties,
58
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.879
THIS i guess this kind of makes some. Sense AND
59
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.599
i don't know that he's going to end up, there
60
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.560
but it still makes a little bit of sense that
61
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.520
he's maybe looking around.
62
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.800
Now, yeah and you, know this is not someone who
63
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.400
came in and it was, like, oh he had a
64
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.520
disappointing freshman. Year he came, in as you, said he
65
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.960
played quarterback for his high school team up In, Ontario.
66
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:25.479
Ohio that's up kind of Near, mansfield and when he came,
67
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.400
in it was basically a we'll see it in two
68
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.159
years more or. Less was kind of the message where
69
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.879
you gotta just sort of figure all the stuff, out
70
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.719
like some of the raw talent is, there but you,
71
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:41.800
know he's just a block of clay at that, point
72
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.000
and there's a lot of sculpting to do before you
73
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.360
get to the point where this is someone who's ready
74
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.719
to be a wide

receiver At Ohio. State so you,
75
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.520
know this was this was not, oh he had a
76
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.240
disappointing freshman year and he didn't, Play like, no the
77
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.800
expectation was he's not going to play his freshman, year
78
00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.280
he might not play much his sophomore, year and then,
79
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.039
you'll you, know we'll see in twenty twenty seven. Basically, so,
80
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.840
yeah When Brian hartline, LEAVES i get it that that
81
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.039
makes sense to me that you, know it'll be fascinating
82
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.439
to see whether he ends up With Brian, hartline because
83
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.879
we've already seen that with one Of ohio data transfer,
84
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.720
Receivers Bryson rodgers went into the portal and then ended
85
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.199
up leaving and committed to play For Brian hartline AT.
86
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.600
Usf that was one that we had sort of so
87
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.759
we've sort of seen that one coming down the. Tracks
88
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.000
because he's from The tampa area, anyway this is one,
89
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.439
where you, KNOW i, mean after working With Bod miller
90
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.360
for a, year it'll be interesting to see is this
91
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.160
sum you, know Does Brian hartline immediately go after? Him
92
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.000
that would that would be indicative of you, know, yeah
93
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.319
you're really you're seeing the, Growth you're seeing the development
94
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.120
you sort of projected out of. Him the talent is still,
95
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.399
there the skills are still. There it's just a matter of,
96
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.480
okay is you, know does he want to go continue
97
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:56.680
working With Brian, hartline because you, know you got to
98
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.000
Understand Brian. Hartline Brian hartline has a, different different office
99
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.519
down In tampa right, now so he's not going to
100
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.759
be the one who's out there working with you day to.
101
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.519
Day Brian hartlin's got to go meet with. Donors Brian
102
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.720
hartlin's got to go do you. Know Brian hartlin's got
103
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.600
to go recruit, everyone not just wide. Receivers so there's
104
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.720
a lot That Brian hartline has to. Do he probably
105
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.600
has to go sit in some defensive. Meetings that has
106
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.439
never been his problem. Before so you, KNOW i will
107
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.360
be fascinated to see Where Bob miller ends, up because
108
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.680
if you, know maybe he goes just ends up somewhere
109
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.079
at A mac school In. Ohio you go play for
110
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.319
The Ohio bobcats Or Bowling green Or, toledo whatever it,
111
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.759
is and maybe you get on the field a little faster.
112
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.600
There but you, know if he goes into a place
113
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.959
For Brian hartline AT, usf THAT i think would be
114
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.920
pretty telling to me about how things went inside practice this,
115
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.680
season because we really just haven't gotten the look and
116
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.720
even the practices we were, there he was on scout,
117
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:57.120
team he was playing who was he playing? For when
118
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.759
we were in, there we saw him in a jersey
119
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.279
for one of THE i think he was playing THE
120
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.360
uh one of the outside. Versus he was playing one
121
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.839
of the outside receivers number zero For. Miami i'm pretty
122
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.240
sure that was who he was playing on the scout.
123
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.600
Team so you, know he's not repping a bunch with
124
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.199
the actual. Offense but, yeah that'll be very interesting to
125
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.360
me to see where he ends up BECAUSE i think
126
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.439
that'll tell us a lot about how that first year.
127
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:29.639
Went, yeah it's is it better to develop on the,
128
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.360
field you, know in terms Of i'll just go somewhere and,
129
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:36.600
play somewhere lower and, play and then DO i want
130
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.279
to move up from? THERE i, Can but DO i
131
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.399
want to spend another year developing on the practice field
132
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.079
and who knows how much Time i'll see or just
133
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.199
go and. Play because, again they brought any LIKE i,
134
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.360
said he's a BIG x. Receiver they've Got Chris Henry
135
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:54.160
junior in the twenty twenty six. Class so that's you
136
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.319
figure he's going to be jumping ahead Of Bob miller right.
137
00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:59.720
Away and that's always one of the things that we
138
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.000
talk with transfer portal. Guys if somebody younger has jumped,
139
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.040
you then don't be surprised if that person enters the.
140
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.480
Portal but you look at the the guys that are.
141
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.079
Remaining Jeremiah smith And brandon in his top two in
142
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:17.000
remaining in returning. Snaps the third Is Philip, bell And
143
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.560
Philip bell has played in just a
couple of. GAMES
144
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.920
i assume he regired a three three games where he
145
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.519
played some snaps at twenty one snaps total on the,
146
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.480
season and that's not that's not. Great and so you
147
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.920
know you've Got Chris Henry, junior you Got Jack Quaydon.
148
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.120
Gilford both of those guys are doing well out of
149
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.240
The Navy All American. GAME i Think Jayden Rick ricketts
150
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.120
is another incoming, freshman is more of a developmental. Guy
151
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.040
it'll be interesting to see What brock boy. Does he
152
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.279
lit Up, texas SO i guess if you can light Up,
153
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.560
texas he might you might be able to do something
154
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:53.079
as a true. Freshman we know they brought In devin
155
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.319
McEwan FROM. Utsa we'll see if they want to go
156
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:00.360
and grab anybody else out of the. Portal but you,
157
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.360
KNOW i guess as long as you're starting With Jeremiah,
158
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:06.199
smith then nobody's going to cry for. You but it
159
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.839
is not an overall deep and proven, group And i'll be.
160
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.560
Interested Maybe tom now Legend bay is definitely a running
161
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:15.759
back or definitely a receiver based on whatever happens with.
162
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.040
There he's another talented, guy BUT i don't know exactly
163
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.560
where he's going to. Be but anything else on the
164
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.120
departure Of Bob Penn, Miller, yeah.
165
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.399
The only other thing, is you, Know Mylon graham is
166
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.600
a name that we continue to hear is at least
167
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.920
a possibility to return To Ohio. State so you might
168
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.279
