It almost looks like we’re not even trying to land premiere high school wideouts. We’re just waiting for them to enter transfer portals.
Can we land him?
Forgot about Drayton (and Smith was an analyst at UF), but point taken. Zach Smith, for as crazy as he is, could recruit. Drayton was solid too.
I'd rather take a 3 star that played well like Grenard, than a five-star that sucked though.It almost looks like we’re not even trying to land premiere high school wideouts. We’re just waiting for them to enter transfer portals.
Smith was royalty in Ohio. Every coach grew up idolizing Earle Bruce there.Can Smith recruit or was it that he was a coach recruiting for Ohio State / Urban Meyer? Smith was fired and now Brian Hartline is cleaning up.
What's with all the Italians???I'm talking about on-field assistants. He also took Marrotti. Mark Pantoni is the recruiting coordinator.
Edit: he also hired Brian Voltolini, who worked w/ him at Utah & Florida - in an off field role.
Marotti is the highest paid off field assistant at Ohio State, making $785K (plus bonuses - he'll get about a 25% bonus so far, more if they advance in the playoffs).
Voltolini makes $237K and Pantoni makes $200K (plus the same bonuses as Marotti), making them the 2nd & 3rd highest paid off-field assistants.

Have you ever been to Ohio? a lot of Italians the more north and east you go. Germans in the south and west.What's with all the Italians???

I've always hoped that someday we might get Dwayne Dixon back.
But he's apparently been at Ohio University for a long time now, so possibly he's just more comfortable with the lifestyle at that level. OTOH ... according to Wikipedia, he's married with a couple of kids, so maybe he's wanted to have things stable for them while they were growing, and perhaps they're getting close to college age.
Gotta be honest, I know nothing about the guy. Is he overweight or something?I'm not sure whether you intended to be punny or not.
Ox sent him the leftover 6xl shirts.Gotta be honest, I know nothing about the guy. Is he overweight or something?

Yeah, but none of the WRs that he signed were from Ohio nor did they know who Earle Bruce was.Smith was royalty in Ohio. Every coach grew up idolizing Earle Bruce there.
