surprise pop-up vacation so glamorous he's back happy to have him back fellas let's start with you dev what's up brother how was your vacay oh good man chilling with the family you know watch a little bit of basketball didn't go our way but still got to watch that I got to watch a little buck high hockey hockey game going right now but overall pretty good man excited that these boys get back from spring break back at this upcoming week so we'll be sure to have some updates coming out more out of spring so excited to get back in the role of some buck off football man we need some we need some positive outlook and buck high nation yeah we do and it's about that time spring ball about to pick back up Nevada Buck man how you doing today what you doing how you're doing what's going on well I was doing good and then Devon drops a bomb on me before the show on the pre show and he's like Nevada I'm telling you

this JJ Smith kids can be really good at Ohio State I'm like Devon man you are bring it you're bringing the heat man you're bringing the heat so now I'm really excited I want to see this JJ Smith kid come out there and see what he can do what numbers he do you know he's gonna be like that's funny number 44 and the baby there's some Lin swan's number anything at that it was going to be two but legend bays out playing him right now but that's not it Nevada I have I have another nugget that'll give you here shortly that's gonna go on even more but you'll get it here you know when it beats as we can so let's go yeah before that Nevada update the people on what you're watching what the score is what's going on we'll be monitoring it as we're doing this show tell us what's going on about it we got women's hockey for the national championship the Ohio State was down to nothing at any the third it's now two two and eight minutes to go in third and I am I am what I guilty pleasure I am watching while I'm potting so we've got two two eight minutes to go in the third for the

national champion Ohio State versus Wisconsin so I will I will keep everybody updated you will not miss a thing because they scored no matter what's been said I will shout in the book I scored and yeah but two two eight minutes to go yeah so go lady hockey buckeyes and the frozen four for the championship will keep you abreast of that situation so in the meantime in the meantime I'm going to tell you a little bit about my weekend me and the wife had a nice little you know a date basically for you for those married folks who you know young kids it's hard to date it's hard to go out and just have a nice dinner and we were able to do that so that was fun but we also went to a place called smash park y'all in Westerville Ohio and I was introduced to axe throwing

so of course I had the point to the camera afterwards listen I had a rough start at first I've never been axe throwing there's there's a technique to it but it did not take me long to get it down as you can see I nailed it my wife's pretty good too but that was fun Nevada have you you or death have you ever been axe throwing I've seen it I've never done it I've just kind of associated me drinking with throwing like big blade of objects like that and I thought about it and I'm like you know I really am having a hard time coming up with good possible outcomes for that you know what I'm saying so I have to say so no I have never done it but look at be mostly you can do anything you could like to ping pong cool water pole then that you're an athlete man those athletes can just

pick it right you're throwing the bulls eye every time on that thing yeah listen I'm very prideful when it comes to competition and athletics and stuff and that's why I hate that I suck at golf and Dev is gonna have to show me some things when we link up next time but yes my wife she was good she actually she's been axe throwing before and so she had to kind of tell me like you know put it over your head and she beat me the first round and after that pure didn't take long but yet I was dope man because some people think you can just throw it at the wall and now you can't but you have actually have to do it the right way or to just hit against the wall and drop but anyway Dev you said you've done it before I actually enjoyed it I thought it was pretty pretty fun it is it's fun man it might sound wild but like I did that as a little kid just growing up on a farm always had an axe or a hatchet or something just throw it throw it at a stump throw it at the side of the bar and get it to stick whatever it's fun there's definitely a technique to it dude but you look like I don't know you look like Julian saying how he looked through

axe right bulls eye man bulls eye yeah got that quick release yeah Mark Swig said Bimosas don't make her mad bro yeah for sure because she does a mean axe so you know let me be careful I guess I don't want no misery type movie scenes but I was waiting on I was waiting on the Nevada update but we just went down three to two Wisconsin Ford yeah so there's the update for you I'm watching it as well all right that's cool well we still got what we still got plenty of time so we just yeah that's why he's on that's why he's on mute right now he's fuming he's no I'm telling it like like this is really I must be like somehow like a million years behind you because like I'm still I still got it at two to two with six minutes and 30 seconds to go and they're still lying up for a fair so sorry my YouTube TV must really suck I mean I must be like

wait behind four minutes and 50 seconds oh my gosh I'm literally like what did you pause it at one point I might I might have yeah that's what I did yeah that makes more sense as I said that's ridiculous even for YouTube TV bro that was way too much oh my god I pause that I like the worst worst well Greg's let us know in the chat too I saw it before he put it in the chat and I was waiting on Nevada to say something but yeah I would have said I would have said something had I not had paused it oh my gosh you could have bet me on the game Devon I would have bet you're like a genius you're like a like a swami that was the moment all right so so listen we'll keep monitoring the score let's go ahead and get into some position battles some some phenoms stepping up and all that good stuff and and

they kind of go from there and then just feel free to jump in you know with the score up day hopefully with a goal I know that soccer but still whatever all right cool so actually Nevada because I know dev you got some stuff but Nevada I wanted you to start this off and then transition to death so he can jump in on the position battles funky had a great post you know from his sources about position battles with some young guys and some seasoned guys and you know some things I think we're going to see towards the end of spring ball kind of carry over and to fall camp Nevada I thought it was a great post we should thoughts on that what are you hearing you can curve all that good stuff what you got well I mean look there's you were always looking for names of who the next players are and you're maybe some guys that are flown a little bit under the radar and it's kind of interesting when you hear it from multiple sources if I'm hearing it and devs hearing it and funky's hearing it you generally can kind of cross triangulate and say that's going to be a pretty good

player but the one thing I thought was really interesting because this was not an a lot of people talking about before the season and is is Lee Roy Roker you know you know Roker's a guy that you know you bring in Terry Miller you pay him money and you hope that he can be the guy and he may be end up being the guy you know some guy coming off injury but Lee Roy Roker is a guy that I've heard from multiple people is turning heads there to Ohio State and you know could be could be the guy I mean he could be the guy next to jail on the claim therefore that that that safety spot and I just think it just speaks to how much depth Ohio State has you know not saying just lowly rated but you know it's not like that's not a guy that we've been talking about that's not a guy that you know as we've been doing our depth charts that we were like oh wow we can't wait to see the great Lee Roy Roker they're playing it but I just thought that was an interesting name coming out and somebody that is a fan you know you're always looking at this this podcast to be a little more just smarter than the average

bearer a little more educated about stuff remember the name Lee Roy Roker I know you guys are probably familiar with it but he's a guy that could definitely be a guy that not only contributes but plays a lot for Ohio State this year and definitely someone I'd pay an attention to yeah yeah let me I wanted to expand the picks now working but anyway yes that has been sort of a surprise it's almost as like how can I put it first of all Deb do you recall Roker's ranking wasn't he either a high three or low four yes I thought he was a three and so listen I'm even guilty of this sometimes because I'm the don't stargaze appreciate everyone like Nevada you know type guy but I didn't you know do the Humpty Dance like funky when we got Lee Roy Roker I just didn't I mean I was like okay I trust the staff they think he you know has

some potential I wasn't celebrating like we got as one and I thought he was a he was a low three star he was ranked number 155th safety okay there you go nice thank you thank you for that that just brings it home even more now listen he ain't done nothing yet okay so we're not saying he's the next Caleb downs but the coaches for them what they're saying and what they're doing and allowing him to break practice and we keep hearing that he's turning heads in practice he's leading that's a something like Nevada says so it's just like wow that is very interesting but it also you know points towards development now we need to sit on the field but we've already seen signs last year because as Deb has pointed out before so eloquently is that some of these players who left they hit the portal they were behind Roker Roker was seeing a fuel before them so and those guys were four and five star four high four star kids so there's something there

so anyway that's my response I'm very intrigued I'm excited because to me that's just like that's found money is this like okay most fans have written him off really okay he's just a depth guy if he can come in and start or be in the rotation and then you got more more talented kids highly ranked kids that are still coming up with their talent that's just that just makes the team deeper Dev yeah it Nevada's definitely right this is a hundred percent of surprise to everybody I haven't seen anybody Rick bringing his name up the only context in which people brought up Lee Roy Roker is when we spoke about him for him he played in front of for him delaying we really only got to see him come in and that Miami game that's not much of a you know you know it's not a lot to go on there but another reason why we haven't heard about him is because we got Terry Moore from Duke the you know all American safety who really a lot of people had him really up high

on the transfer portal list but he was out for an entire season so we had some concerns on whether he was healthy coming in healthy which he is but a lot that did get talked about is okay what does missing an entire year of football due to somebody right so remember that as well we're kind of early and Terry Moore getting back involved in this thing but man I heard this same thing the first person I heard it from was not a player so I kind of took it like a grain of salt and then I got told this you know when you hear things from players you should probably listen and when I got told this and then I saw funky's update as well I was like dang man Lee Roy Roker must be really turning heads here and just goes to speak to the developmental process at Ohio State because he didn't transfer out this is he's going in his third year now so he's had plenty opportunity to transfer out this is his third year or fourth year third

year yeah third year so hearing really good things you know as far as a leadership aspect he's really taken charge as a leader you know he was the first player at the first spring practice to give the team a speech wasn't Julian Sain wasn't Jeremiah Smith it was Lee Roy Roker who did that so you know that speaks a lot and it also just you know speaks to the depth that we could possibly have her we'll see who wins out this starting role I kind of expected Terry Moore to start a little slow here because he didn't play for a year but still the fact that Lee Roy Roker is in this conversation with an all-american safety who's already got the job done before I mean speaks to the pedigree a player that he could potentially be and we should get excited whether he wins the starting role or not he's going to make an impact on this year's team already so that's exciting yeah I definitely agree all right before we asked Nevada any update is it still three to two still three to two I think it

is 90 seconds to go yeah three to two but Ohio says got the puck moving it around looking looking to try to get the equalizer I think they've proven that emptying that emptying that now okay keep that end kept it in oh I love it come on to be in ahead of me there with is they've spent the extra 50 cents for the you lose thing I should have gone with it man I should have gone with it did you say 90 seconds left in the game or the quarter now that's the game it's a third pair yeah it's a third pair it's uh oh we might as well write it out yeah what's your response is I'm trying to read your face it got intense it got intense it looked like we were about to get the job done something has happened

right in front of the goal right now I don't watch hockey enough to know but there's some people that are upset looks like there's sticks flying around that puck is did it go in no no no they're complaining about something though they're complaining that she covered her hand on the puck kind of like the Ohio's the last year that's what happened Ohio State girl covered the puck with her hand got a penalty shot called late and they were hoping that would happen for Wisconsin you can't cover your putt if you're the unless you're the goalie another player can't cover the puck with their hand in the crease but I don't think that happened do they review that they can they can that's what they did last year they reviewed it and got the penalty call so like I mean it's if you if you try for it and you and you you miss it then they get a power play the other way so it's not like it's just no harm no foul on the years so it's so it's a big it literally within the game okay so basically it's in limbo right now it's a lot of a lot of

talk going on right now a lot of talking okay so did you want to jump in and then just interrupt if something changes will just let's just keep on keep on trying to review that she 100% grab the puck with her hand so you can do it out of the crease you can't do it in the crease that's the whole okay so if it goes our way then didn't get a penalty oh I said we get a penalty shot okay okay okay which is what we want so keep us updated on that so real quick promise next item on the the funky nugget what other position battle are you intrigued by the most Nevada well I think what's interesting to me is just because it's the spring is the running back spot you know I'm saying like like what's going on at the running back spot you know you've got you know Isaiah West you've got Bo Jackson out so you've got a wide open room and and so you just keep hearing things you know obviously the legend based off is is pretty

pretty crazy and you know going full steam but what's them why don't you all let you make it because you're one but what are you hearing about the Florida transfer and what what are people saying about him well you know at the running back position there's a lot of things that first off it's a young running back room right so at Ohio State running backs are asked to do a lot of things you know protect we saw CJ don'ts have come in the Miami game specifically for that reason so I think when you're looking here you know you got Bo Jackson you know he got Isaiah West you know they can get the yards for you you need a back to come in that's gonna be you know protect your quarter back be a veteran presence in the room and I'm hearing like Jacobi Jackson isn't only just that he is turning heads he's electric he's very quick big and he's healthy now he's healthy is the thing that when I first spoke about him with the coach here at Florida that's what he told me he's like

man people are are kind of missing this here because he hasn't been healthy for quite some time but he's healthy now and people are talking about legend bay rightfully so because I think he has the highest ceiling right and he has the versatility to go out and play wide receiver so you're you're talking I think possibly about two different you know positions there high states not gonna use Jacobi Jackson like they're gonna use legend bay but Jacobi Jackson is looking you know really early right now but he is passing the eye test passing the early spring test as a guy that could come in here and be RB2 or RB 3 is what I was told and that wasn't by some onlooker either that was by Nevada I think you always say that players know players right so I mean that's something to keep an eye on there Jacobi Jackson I like what I'm hearing so far hey real quick well first of all Nevada any update are they done talking they're talking to come out to rule right now the communication that they're

discussing I let's see what they say after review unsuccessful coach unsuccessful challenge so that I mean Ohio State gets a bench minor for delay a game so literally now I mean that I'm not saying that's the end of the game but it really that now they're playing a man down with 42 seconds to go down a goal and got a score so they have to score short-handed with 42 seconds to go that's that's a lot to ask so real quick how long does that last well that'll be the end of the game like the game will end is only 42 seconds that's a two-minute bench minor too many okay so typically it's okay okay I got you I was just wondering how long that lasted a normal time but I guess that's it doesn't matter now to score to score short-handed with 42 seconds ago is it's it's it's gonna be hard not impossible but hard now real

quick real quick because I'm still learning this do you think in hindsight it was worth going after that uh that review I think she she was listening to her players who told me they thought they covered it I didn't see it ever get covered so I but I had the benefit of maybe better angles than they did and I think she was just thinking back last year when it worked for Wisconsin that way and maybe she'd get the same block but and again in hindsight now got you got you all right so so real quick I wanted to respond to the Jacobi Jackson stuff and again jump in if necessary fellas Devon wasn't it you who said early on as you were getting stuff from your contact that he's a really good pass pro guy right yes Jacobi Jackson yeah so that is key and that is very very important because that's the type of stuff that's going to get you on the field more we learn that we learn that every single year guys who are better runners will get on the field sooner if you can protect the quarterback on third down so that's

gonna be interesting to see and then of course um you know he he looks pretty built physical he has speed I don't know how elusive he is I don't know if he's going to make guys miss but he does get north quick from what I saw in film so hey if he can do that and move the chains I'm cool with it um all right fellas what's the update what's the update I'm gonna be sensitive to it oh how's that just got called for another penalty because she was about to shoot into an empty net and so Wisconsin's gonna win national championship like I just go down yeah oh well that sucks man I know they're gonna be really um hindsight thinking about that about that uh review Nevada that's going to be the big story you think yeah that's definitely going to be a story I mean it was a tall tall thing anyway they had only had 40 something seconds of score so um yeah but you know hey maybe it was worth a chance because you know you get that preview and you obviously get a penalty shot and

maybe you win and blah blah blah but you know very hard very hard very hard to do yeah I get the temptation for sure um for the opportunity but sad you know it is what it is they they got all the way to the championship gang came up short so shout out to that coaching staff and those young ladies um you know great season so we kept y'all up to date real time that's never happened on the pot before that was that was pretty good you guys got to the uh live updates well four minutes behind from Nevada until until he fast-forwarded it exactly I'm still I'm still watching the cotton ball right now against all my anything right now and we're only we're only down three got the ball back so I think we got a chance for boys who's gonna tell him what's all this negativity about the season man to see the games not over to the games over oh man oh yeah I was at the I was at the Miami Ohio State game with Nevada and he was on a delay there too I was at the weight a little bit to him oh man so funny that is hilarious listen hey can I say my uh

my nugget that I got yes yes yeah it's gonna blow a lot of people's minds but I was told today that in fact Julian saying does have a slight lead over Tavine St. Clair in the quarterback battle yep let's go let's go to Nevada I don't know if you drop it on that if you're here dropping dang but you're dropping bombs today they're dead you're dropping bombs man you know I'm telling you this is unbelievable I don't I can't believe this is a this is a free podcast we should be charging admission for this thing here when you drop in nuggets like they have another all all kidding aside like the go back to Jacobi Jackson thing I had heard from my Florida guy that they thought he was a heck of a player when we got him and I you know I wasn't quite sure if that was just like whatever you know it's being nice or whatever but I I've heard that from a number of people talking about it so you know and so you know and he'd flash he'd flop you know when he was healthy therefore he had done some things but it's going to be really interesting to see how he does because I I think he's going to be an interesting addition for us and I really do

yeah no he's number 24 going through those drills right there and I look how big he is bro yeah there he is right there he is yeah look at that call out I was going to say I just saw him go through the drill I'm like man he's he looks you I mean he looks physically impressive I mean listen that doesn't mean anything to his to feel but look I'll just I'll say this when we got him I was like okay cool we need depth right but so I just kind of like okay whatever he you know we lost some guys I watched his film I was like okay he's better than I thought and then dev star hitting us with the information Nevada you know from his people and it's like you know fighting through injuries I saw him here on this clip and I was like man this dude looks physically put together and then you got the pass pro prowess yeah I mean again every running bag doesn't necessarily have to be a Zika Elliott can you help the team can you pick up yards can you break tackles you know what I'm saying like can you pass pro can you be a leader or that stuff so

I'm excited about his potential to help this team period I mean that's just how I see it fellas Nevada you got anything on that boom boom boom you mute mute mute mute mute there he is I just say in this era of NIL you know when you when you see guys that that stay on the roster like Roker did or you see that guys that are brought in from other schools like Jacobi Jackson I mean I'll have to say things they can help because everything is about immediate help everything is about can you help the team this year so no one let me brought a minute definitely got my attention I don't think you can afford just to bring in fifth and sixth running backs and you know or development pieces for the future like you got to have guys that can try to help you in 2026 is one of those years where they're going for it and I think Jackson's going to be a part of it I really do not that's good that's good so let me I was going to ask you your next sort of battle but I know which one I'm intrigued by I'm about to share my screen I created a little

graphic real quick you know why I was on here it's funny how I be creating little memes real quick all right so here we go here is the battle I am looking for Quaver saw and Zion Grady so listen to me when I say battle I'm more so excited about the potential of these two Zion Grady has been and listen Dev I know you've been getting information on Zion for a while like you know this cat you got you got the goods we saw him flash last season he's even bigger now like his potential to really break through this year is great and then of course we've heard about Quaver's all and him being injured but also being twitchy and kind of a freaky little athlete not little but you know what I mean and then of course our resident Bama fan Roe Tai has also backed that up so to me the battle between these two is great but they're both

going to play they're both going to play and the potential at these two really coming out and being speed demons off the edge excites me Dev how do you feel about this this is one that jumped off the screen for me when I was reading that nugget yeah it is a very interesting one man but you know and I've heard the same type of dynamic with the battle that's going on between these guys but I think you're looking at two different types of defense events here you're looking at a 260 pounder and a 240 pounder 6 to 240 65 to 60 so I think I'm not so sure they're you know I think it just depends on you know what type of front we're going to be running I know that Matty P's probably going to do a lot of penny fronts this year five down and having a stand-up lineback from curious to see if that's just Quay Rousal or if it's Christian Ali Egro but all all signs are pointing towards Zion Grady right now who has just took it up a notch he played as

a freshman he was the number three defensive in at the end of the season last year coming off the bench people are trying to throw a bow acotens name in there he gained a lot of weight in the all season as well but I mean the conversation I have had is you know Zion Grady is up there as well Epi is also in this battle as well but Zion Grady just seems to be you know leading the charge there but Quay Rousal at the same time is just an actual healthy athletic freak right now and that can't go unnoticed so very intrigued about how you use these guys and if you see these two players on the field at the same time this year I'm intrigued about that yeah and real quick that a question and a comment and I'll make the comment after my question you can answer do you know how much weight Zion Grady gained from last season to now that's the question and number two

with his weight even with the weight that you gave because I'm wanting to see was their increase because to me I saw speed out of Zion Grady last year I remember he got he ran down I think it was a running back in the flat and I was surprised at how fast he got out there because I know he's not a like a smaller twitchy guy so I guess my question is based off the speed I saw in film how much weight did he gain if any and I'm wondering if that's going to slow him down and just make him a strong side defensive end type of guy because I saw some good quickness out of him off the edge dev yeah I mean what I was told he's one of those players that you might look at him and see these different but there wasn't that much weight added because he was playing at 255 260 last year so we're talking about I think I was told he gained eight pounds you know but you're not talking about a epi gained I think 15 to 20 pounds you know I'm saying like epi was a 240 something and now he's

closer to 260 Zion was kind of already there so I think they just worked on his body kind of like it can yada jackson what they did with him so yeah I don't think he gained much weight at all got you Nevada want you to weigh in on this this battle between these two well first on on the weight issue like yesterday I I had like care at kick for lunch you know what I'm saying and then I had dinner and then my boys are like late it's like midnight and they're like hey it's good to stay in shake and I went there and I had a shake on top of that so I think I gained four pounds of this whole weight thing just in a single day or something like that this this eight pounds in the off seat and 15 pounds dude this guy's got this guy's got nothing on me man I'm telling you do you want to gain some weight and do some over a chamber hang on with the back and here we got to get you in there with Mick he needs to know your strategy man my strategy is to eat whatever I feel like eating and yeah man I thought those shakes at midnight those were bad though you should never

do those I think that's yeah that's the that's the bad kind of weight I think but I digress let me let me go and look the Alabama kids James Smith and Quarrisaw have both been terrific and I mean just think about our history with Alabama transfers in general it's been very positive and I just think these are going to be another two kids that you know I don't know how excited people are about them but I think they should be very excited because I think they can they both absolutely look the part and they certainly have opened eyes and and you know people are talking about them at Ohio State and I I think they're going to be big contributors in 2026 but it should be no surprise because it's Alabama man and those kids that out you know they've got players there just like we do they've got players but I think these are these are two really good gifts for Ohio State and I know Mappetrishan staff are very excited about them and Zion Grady's in Alabama got two that's three up there you go yeah good reminder strawberry shake sounds good yeah it's so nice aren't that so good no I just told my wife the other day

that I haven't had a shake in a while like I'm like I need a shake oh I think we lost Nevada we'll get them back in a second maybe he went to go get his shake real quick and in another stake you know he likes to eat ribeye steaks during the park as but yeah I need to get me a stake and a shake but not from stake and shake because that wouldn't meet up to the standards but you know what I mean but we'll get Nevada back in a second but there was at least one more I wanted to bring up in this position battle a couple of names that kept popping up and let me stop sharing my screen and then we'll get Nevada back when he there he is hold on Nevada are you back sir Nevada you there I was staking shake calling man they wanted to come back for another strawberry shake and I'm like okay I'll do that I'll be there I'll be there in 30 minutes guys so I got like 30 minutes left and then I got to go have another shake it's they're so good

they need to start paying us for talking about them on this you they're so good man they're so they're so tasty hey real quick do you guys in your in your areas of where you live do you have a place called Shake Shack yeah okay Nash that's a national I don't think the shakes are very good at Shake Shack that's my person opinion but I know it might be a minority view but like you know when your name is Shake Shack you think you're shakes you better get shakes but like your shakes better just like be fantastic and I like Johnny Rockets better than that I like um Johnny Rockets is good I have Johnny Rockets is got some great shakes but the burgers inside maybe yeah but the shakes are outstanding yeah I have a head Johnny Rockets in the mid I think we got one Johnny Rockets here over by uh um what's the movie theater by um by campus I used to go Linux Linux theater we got one over there but Nevada we just got a shake Shack um what what has it been for years it's it's still new-ish to Columbus um so that's why I'm wondering if y'all had it

because I've never had her actually have I heard it before that I don't think I heard it before they came to Columbus they came actually came here in 2019 so it's is year seven but that's still new um but anyway listen again we y'all got me talking about food I want some diagonal I want a shake now Nevada I thought good at Del Taco man you can get shakes I still haven't worked my way they got shakes at Del Taco too and fries and burgers and and yeah yeah wow I know it's really all sorts of all sorts of goodness all in one place man I'm I'm not gonna lie man I make milkshakes not a lot but when when I eat milkshakes I make them here at the house they're great they're great you guys want to send you on or you want to try it how do they want to get the gator the gator shake something like that man first gator eggs living to that like what do you anything secret that you put in beyond the the normal

stuff to make your shake okay no I now I do do this I I freeze milk like in ice cube tray and then I put chocolate chocolate ice cream in with a little bit of liquid milk and the frozen ice cubes milk ice cubes and I blend it up and it gives you like chunky like it's like a chunk of frozen milk I love milk though so I'm okay that's definitely different I wouldn't have made it that way so I might have to steal that and see what's up yeah you know um but again uh you know it's just funny we're I'm looking at the chat now some some people are going after you we're not after you Nevada but they're saying Del Taco is yuck and nasty dude the oh yes there's the same people that like oh I don't like it an out burger yeah yeah man Del Taco rocks man Del Taco is so good it's it's like a normal Christmas people yeah there's it's a bit the same Christmas people

together yeah that it is the people that do so it's the same like it is like in and out slander man the people that don't have it they slander it because they're like oh I don't like it because it's not around well don't listen don't go back to the house I'm a try Del Taco regardless I'm regardless I'm going to try it's on my list but you mentioned in and out I've had in and out I think in and I was really good I don't I don't know I might do five guys over in and out depending on how my appetite what I like here but here's the thing we've in and out though in five guys but you got to compare you can get two hamburgers at at in and out for the price of one sure I'm five guys so like you got there's a there's a value thing that kind of goes into the equation too because like a double double it in and out is like seven bucks or something like that and you get that at at five guys it's fifteen sixteen dollars so every time I go to five guys I feel like somebody's going in my wallet and it's ripping money out of my wallet and doing I feel like I mean ripped off so I think I think you got to equate though you got to put the value

thing in there too and real quick you know how good in and out burger is to a lot of people guess who just went to in and out burger after winning an Oscar Michael B Jordan see he could have went anywhere and he went to in and out and it's all over social media so it can't be that bad I mean you know no no so all right so we are in and out of the topic so let's jump back in you like that oh my gosh that was beautiful that was beautiful chef's kiss so listen I want to talk about these two names and we can move on and to something else but these names keep coming up especially this one name and this young man right here with the golden smile look at that hair right he's much more meaner on the field than he looks in his picture trust me this is Peyton Pierce so in the nugget talking about first of all shout out to Raleigh Petty John talks about how sources continue to bring him up

being out most of the spring you know with his injury you know but other guys have been able to step in Raleigh Petty John is not going to be talked about as much right now because he's injured he is one of the top guys he he flashed last year he hit somebody with a captain in sano power drive tackle last year you know captain in sano he'll know mercy that captain in sano so he's going to be really good but he's injured right now Peyton Pierce he played a lot you know considering he wasn't a starter but he was in the rotation so fellas Nevada let's start with you what you hear about Peyton Pierce what you think about that update and do you think he is going to get the green dot for those who don't know green dot is the guy with the mic in his helmet calling a defense talking to the coaches lining everybody up Nevada well I just look at the I mean if you just look at recent history and you look at a guy like Arville Reese who kind of like the year before last you know played a bunch but you know what the starter per say

you know I'm saying but played a bunch flash when he played did his thing and then this year as you know gone on to become like he's from krypton or something like that and going to make you know a hundred million dollars in the NFL I mean I think there's a reason why Peyton got as much time as it did last year on that great defense that was a great defense make no mistake they played him a ton so to me that's all that I need to know about Peyton Pierce you know on top of you know hearing the good things from people and and everything just if you played that much on that team you're a baller and so I fully expect him to have a break out in that you move from being kind of a novelty item to a household name I think he's going to be a household name by the end of 2026 and real quick dev sunny styles called him out at the NFL combined y'all he was asked who is next and sunny style set Peyton Pierce so you can't get a more of an endorsement from a from a class five mutant like sunny styles right so I mean I'm going to be

looking out for him dev what you got yeah I mean I think Nevada brought up a good point remember Arville Reese didn't play much but then came out and now he's going to be a top 10 draft pick Peyton Pierce a lot of people for some reason want to act like he's not that athletic not that fast all those things but it's just like well yeah when you compare him to Arville Reese and sunny styles I'm pretty sure every linebacker on this roster you're going is lacking in that regard if you're going to compare into those two guys but Peyton Pierce is going to be I mean a hundred percent starting linebacker and I think he's green dot worthy for sure this linebacker room isn't intriguing part of that nugget was talking about Christian and the Wisconsin transfer and Riley Petty John yeah yeah that's the first thing I heard in these winter workouts because as winter workouts not football still the players know right linebacker's coming in Riley and TJ both know he's coming in there's only one spot there Peyton Pierce has the other spot so are there

some very intense battles between those two I mean winter workouts as much as you can battle in workouts they they push that competition in those workouts that's why I think you see a lot of these guys coming out looking the way they look I mean look with Riley Petty John I mean just looks like an absolute monster right now and he was injured so his injury is not that wild people like write him off but it does hinder his ability obviously in the spring can't do everything everybody's gone but you know another one hiding right behind those guys not far at all is TJ Alfred I just love what you know coach Lord Knight is done with this linebacker room man you can't replace Sonny and Orville individually but when you combine Peyton Pierce Christian Ali Egro TJ Alfred Riley Petty John all and by the way Garrett Stover got iron buck high I don't know what that means I'm very curious to see how this linebacker room looks as well but based off workouts I test

what we're hearing we got some dogs in the linebacker room curious to see how it shakes out yeah Alfred looks department he's fat again I know I know it's early but he looks Jerome Baker is to me man he just does I don't know if he's quite as fast as Jerome Baker but he don't look slow I mean he looks like a silent a sideline fast twitchy rundown heel hits you with bad intentions type of dude and so I yeah I cannot wait to see how these guys blossom and who steps up but I definitely believe James Laird Knight has definitely got some dogs in this room and it's just only a matter of time for them to step up Nevada any response to that well no I just look I think it's one of those it is a situation where you know you're you're gonna the best players are gonna play you know that whether it be young guy whether it be transfer guys or whatever it is and I'm just I think that the spring this spring you've got you've had more guys out so more guys are

gonna have an opportunity to play and you get more stuff for the transfers so I think it's just gonna be you know we're gonna take it one thing at a time with the uh with these you know the practices with the strategies with what's going on here but we're gonna learn a lot and we're gonna know a lot going to the fall but I think our teams gonna look a lot different in the fall because we have so many different guys are out this spring you know I'm saying like it's one of those things where I'm not even sure you know you know I think the young guys are gonna give a chance to shine the new guys are gonna get chance to come in and do their thing but for Ohio State you know I mean how do you evaluate that against a guy like a Riley Petagion who's not gonna play you know this spring ball because of injury you know like you know how does that how does that affect him in the fall I don't know it's gonna be that much I think they know what they have in Riley but I just think you know this spring this is this might be the most interesting spring that we've ever had for me just because of the number of transfer guys and the number of guys out you know from the fall so I think it's wide open and you know it's

certainly gonna be exciting to see it is it is and so you know I'm gonna be at the spring game and all that I'm gonna be at the practices soon so I want to see these guys in person I have not seen Alfred in person actually I think I have been out of close try to remember last year when I went I've seen some guys up in like up close like shook their dapped them up and some I didn't I want to try to see um Deb try to make it happen uh is Duke is Duke gonna be at the spring this year do you know uh he'll probably be at the spring game he's not gonna be at any of the scrimmages they have beforehand but I imagine yeah he'll be at the spring game yeah uh if he's if he's gonna be there I want to link up with him um I want to meet him if possible you will for sure yeah yeah so that that's cool um but anyway I'm saying I have to say some of these guys seeing them in person is a whole different animal when you consider their speed their ability and you see

that in person like oh wow he's bigger than I thought or he's you know uh Christian uh been a Christian um it was one of those guys who I was like yo this dude is a massive beast like he's big he really six six is he six six listen I look I am all of six four some people think I'm six five okay yeah yes he is and he's strong I didn't know that either yes even when they were doing blocking drills his punch was very lineman like I mean you know he he's he just looks like a monster out there now hopefully he takes another step of production this year Claire has gone he'll have an opportunity but I'm saying that's just one of the many examples of seeing him up close and being able to say dang this dude is huge so um so anyway anyway anything else on son of position battles before we kind of close out with a quick little story slash update fellas uh Nevada uh I just don't need to look they think you know we talked about linebackers obviously we talked

about the running back position uh you know wide receive you know tight end um we have a little bit there on what um hunter hunter welching being a guy that is an aim to look out for I don't know how excited people are about the tight ends but you know tight ends I keep hearing it's going to be a primary a two tight end set for our state this is going to be a pro style more like the Rams not not 13 personnel not 14 personnel but I think they like the versatile they can get with uh with two tight ends and I think hunter welching to guy that could play and play early yeah I like it I mean we have a history of success with 12 personnel I mean go back and look at our tight ends from higher men and vignette and um I keep I always forget the other kids name I went to Jacksonville but he was a really good was it horseman um Jake like what was his name somebody helped me but he was a really good blocking tight end uh back when we had JK Dobbins and um but anyway

12 personnel has worked well for us with just our attack helping the you know to block especially if we're if we're going to run more wide zone this year which it sounds like we will selling the edge with your tight ends stud blocking tight ends is critical think about think about the national championship against Oregon in 2015 remember a Nevada I know you remember the WAM block we had higher men uh coming in and WAM block and I believe uh he was WAM block in the linebacker I believe I got to go back and watch the film it's fuzzy that was almost 10 years ago but the point is having stud tight ends who could come in and help in the run game is massive and so and then of course if they can catch two then that's that's obviously great but I think Arthur Smith wants to really utilize our tight ends in the run game open the run game up and and just from there unleash them at an opportune time to be threats down filled as well but anyway anything on that day before we move on to the last thing

no yeah hunter-welcing is a name uh he's a friend of the channel man had him on here but he's one that caught a lot of people's eye um especially route running um catching passes uh so kind of replacing that max clear type of threat a lot of people talk about Nate Roberts hunter-welcing is the name right now anyway and uh the wide receiver position I was told if you had to pick who's going to play beside JJ and Brandon in this right now the answer is Devon McQuinn the UTSA transfer very fast looking the part very comfortable and then the final name I'm going to throw out there is we got two corner transfers camcow hoon and Dominic Kelly um obviously got germane Matthews and Devon Sanchez as the starters but uh Dominic Kelly um and that goes against kind of what I've been reading everywhere I've been reading camcow hoons looking like the number three corner super early but it's not what I'm being told I'm being told Dominic Kelly is looking like a player that they're going to have to find a role for in some way um on this team this year so we'll see

yep we shall all right let me pull this up real quick just a little we're going to touch on this real quick I thought it was funny but it's also facts shout out to the homie intrinsic he posted is it says Michigan senior citizen had a coach wanted to stay at Utah but they stripped his responsibilities essentially phasing Kyle Whittingham out and pushing him to a lesser program recovering from a slew of crimes cheating and cover-ups I love that caption so this is from Yahoo Sports and it says but before Whittingham resigned from Utah and long before he accepted a Michigan job he attempted to remain as coach in Salt Lake City however in the week following the end of Utah's regular season a string of emails between Whittingham's agent Bruce Toner and school administrators outline start so the article talks about how Whittingham wanted to stay and Utah was like not we'll buy you out so you can bang out peace we done here and so I made a

meme of course for intrinsic and this is a Michigan fan grabbing the trash can at their scraping the uh the food off of well yeah go blew our first choice baby was it your first choice we like Kyle Whittingham but he's a little little far in his career if this was Kyle Whittingham 10 years ago me and about that say yo okay you might have you one but this is a transition coach in our opinion just because of where he's at in his career great guy really good coach in general as far as his overall resume but Utah they had a chance to keep him and they said now we good so Nevada we should thoughts on this well I've already heard from people you know close to Whittingham that you know the whole discipline thing at Michigan kind of isn't what you know like they won't allow him to discipline the players the way that he wants to and so it's a whole different thing

so I do not believe he'll be long for the job obviously that's not a hot take for a guy that's 87 years old or whatever he is but um you know yeah no I mean clearly he's a guy who'd lost his fastball he's a guy that you know was was really well thought of you know for a long time it was very revered up there at Utah not the same guy so the Kyle you know it's kind of like looking at you know Reck Hell Wilts when she was like 21 and you look at her when she's like 65 and you're like you know this is not this the same person but it's not the same person you know that's that's kind of how it is with uh with with Kyle Whittingham he's not the same guy that he was before and uh and and and now he can't even discipline the Michigan players the way he wants to so all right this is this is gonna be a very interesting experiment indeed Devon what you got bro yeah I mean Kyle as a coach when the you know I thought it was a good hire good coach all those things but the one aspect to this that threw me off is that story of him retiring or him getting fired

and and whatever it was there was a little bit of confusion there right and of course when it all was said and done you know they were like well he just he wanted to go coach at Michigan you know I'm saying but I feel I didn't believe that when the first came out so to hear this not too surprising to me honestly I mean uh but that was the intriguing part where this could go an opposite direction for them is if he was a guy that was losing a little bit Utah didn't want him or he was at the end kind of the end of it here and all these changes in college football or just kind of overwhelming to him you know kind of had an inkling that that could also be in the cards but we'll have to see you know it's uh it would take a very special coach to walk into a program like that and to and succeed um so I'm not sure how many coaches there are in the nation that could with what they got going on there um I wanted to mention one more thing a little bit off topic B let me know when I can do that go ahead I want to shout out RJ day man RJ day played

for SFE at OT7 with CJ ciphers CJ ciphers probably going to be number one overall player in the 2029 class quarterback from Georgia uh but RJ day man lighten it up seven on seven I just seven on seven Ryan day was there um um and uh in Miami for the OT7 event I went to it last year couldn't go this year but RJ day was killing it man lighten it up um so I wanted to give him a shout out so real quick I have a prediction Nevada dev chat world I have a prediction you're ready to hear it let's go here's my prediction okay RJ day in two years were portal to a house date you heard it here first you know this dropping oh man he's going to kill it he's going to kill it at his respective school he commits to and he's going to transfer to a house date play with papa play with papa like the day boys out there just cooking you're just trying you're just trying to up my

all right so I would not tolerate this slander geo did thanks for the five today is Sunday and pixels is still bad it is not so bad is phenomenal it is a five-star family movie it is the best movie did you do you carry lancers and pixels how can you not like a movie with Tyrion Lannister I like that say this just I totally agree to there being you know I mean he's clever I mean he's just confounding I am guilty I'm guilty of being your son remember he challenged pack man to trial by combat I remember that excellent movie you know passed down whatever stood up for him and I would have fought him I would have fought them buddy oh man that is crazy and then of course silly Matt geo did off the top row with the pixels slander it is what it is man whatever y'all can hate all you want pixels as almost as good as snakes on a plane almost hey hey snake

on a plane was hilarious snake snake on a plane is one of those movies Nevada that you that wasn't supposed to be your comedy but ends up being a comedy like baby boy as anybody seen baby boy okay have you seen baby boy I saw baby boss I didn't see baby boss baby listen baby boy is one of those hood classic movies okay it is not a great movie but it's a great hood classic movie it's a movie that BET you know black entertainment television okay BET BET it's they're famously known for overplaying baby boy like they literally would play it every day it's been some years since they've done it but it would be like on rerun anyway it has Snoop Dogg in it it has Cuba getting juniors brother in it it has Tyrese Gibson in it and Taraji in it and it's like it was supposed to be a serious movie but to be there's some hilarious

parts anyway if you want to kill time one day watch baby boy I think you might like it there you go all right what we got last super chat here geo did thanks for the five when JJ singles out legend bay for being impressive you know legend bay has a lot of juice definitely and we talked about that last week geo did I mean listen I know some people are like yo pump the brakes pump the brakes we don't want to you know but listen we can't control it Jeremiah Smith the thing about it is fellas and you can tell me how you feel about this when it comes to hype where does hype come from hype maybe comes from you know scouts recruiting agencies maybe film maybe a guy leaps over somebody and and buzz keeps going but it's one thing to have hype coming into high school and then the hype continuing when you get on the field with other monsters and the head coach is come comparing you to Tyrese kill and then Jeremiah you see what I'm saying so to me is getting

to another level of just hype now he has to cash in and live it out but it's just like it's just is what it is man and I'm excited I think barring he stays healthy he's we're going to see some things this year that like yo this kid is nice at the very minimum dev do you agree what you think about my explanation on hype yeah no I agree to and on top of the players I mean you got Ryan day calling him a poor man's Tyrese kill you know what I'm saying Ryan day you know there's select few players that he you know the JJ stuff I mean there's a few Devon Sanchez comments there's you know there's select players that they say things like this about and I would say that you know just based off those two one played both them playing as freshman I'd probably listen especially when players and coaches and he's wearing the number two you know there's a long way to go we know that but the physical ability is all the way there what you got an end of battle

oh I agree like that you know it's it's kind of you know any more I just listen to who the players are talking about and when the players are talking about them then that's definitely you know somebody you got to pay attention to and you know offensively it's it's been a lot about legend bad and so you know to me that's not recruiting hype because frankly it wasn't the highest record a guy we had or I mean he had a neat recruiting story but I mean he's done it since he's been impressive since he's been on the field out there with Ohio State has been impressive you know since you set foot on the campus so he's definitely a guy I absolutely believe the hype is real and I know Ohio State is reevaluating how they're going to approach things in offense just fifth is unique abilities and that really says something to me absolutely another excuse for me to pull up legend bay clips I love it mentioned legend bay I'm going I'm pulling it up immediately so yeah again he's the closest thing to Braxton Miller that we've had since

Braxton Miller in my opinion his twitchiness his breakaway speed his his his ability to even break tackles Braxton didn't get enough credit for breaking tackles sometimes and what else what I was going to say about legend yeah I mean I guess that's it I mean I'm excited about the kid yes that's what I was going to say my only concern is is he going to prove to his position coach the maniacal in a good way Carlos Lackling that he can have ball security high and tight young fella high and tight now dev I heard you mentioned this I think on a post or something and I agree with you as far as him being able to to pass pro stuff like that but I think they can he'll have to work on that but if his die if his dynamic ability along with ball security is so great they'll work him in there to where he won't be exposed if he's not good at that just to get him on a field

but obviously he'll need to and keep improving at that to take one on a bigger role down the line but if he's just so dynamic they'll get him in regardless but yes ball security pass pro he has to excel at that to really be where he needs to be and so the pass pro thing that I'm like right now I don't know how good he would be at that because he's playing quarterback in high school you know bow jacks and bow jacks and wasn't the best at pass pro either he was a thousand yard back you know I'm saying like he had to be taken out and CJ Donald to put in because he was getting destroyed in pass protection so obviously that's not the end all do all here fludgeon Bay can't pass protect but he's really dynamic he's going to be on the field in some way shape or for for sure for sure so that'll be a balance but so ball security will be number one to get him on a field and he'll chip away at the pass pro uh listen let's go ahead and wrap her up this was a great show I was looking forward to this show I'm always looking forward to the show but we

got dev back today I was been a great weekend I mean you know we we didn't win on Thursday but that's done and over with but still a great weekend and so we got spring ball popping back up again this week Nevada any last thoughts before we bang out of here now spring ball coming up first trimmerch going up so lots of exciting things are going to go on and we'll have uh we'll give you a front row seat here uh like a scoop for sure real quick let me slide this in sack thirty seventy four things for the five as far as speed I believe legend is the next rocket isch mail wow that's a name I haven't heard in a long time but for those who witnessed it he was fast fast fast damn do you remember rocket isch mail or how do you heard of him okay yeah google him youtube when you get a second real speed Nevada real quick what do you think about that comparison it's an interesting one that that that is not a name that I've heard for a bit so lovely comparison and uh they they certainly have similar similar jets and I hope that uh Legend Beggar chance for turn kicks like like they lost it yes me too man I hope so dev any final

thoughts before we uh get out of here man I hope I don't say this every spring but I can't remember being this excited for spring ball because of all these new players coming in um you know transfer portal and freshmen and also a lot of second year players and I'm just excited got a lot of turnover fifty one new faces new coaches uh in CW by the way I think change the rule to now sixteen coaches can go on the road figure out through that in there I think that's a new rule approach should have not done that at the end of the show but anyway excited about spring ball here um and we'll see keep you guys updated like Nevada said got you yep for sure for sure for sure um but anyway listen buckeye scoop family as always we appreciate you we love you you make this show great in the chat if you are watching this show live jump in the chat man it's a lot of fun as you can see I'm just I'm just laughing to myself I had to keep myself from busting out laps of times from the hilarity but uh but yeah good stuff anyway we'll see y'all
