The reason that field looks the exact same is because the video sportsjock posted is from 2014...

Here's what the new design is supposed to look like. Still pretty similar, but with a few little flourishes and a different font.

The reason that field looks the exact same is because the video sportsjock posted is from 2014... Thanks for pointing this out. The video is to show the replacent process, not intending to display the subtle differences incorporated in the new design. One thing that I have given some thought to, is the considerable differences between doing an initial installation vs. a mere turf replacement. I would imagine, replacement would come at a significantly reduced cost. Was wondering what the percentage of savings would be realized. This comes with all the high school fields that will be facing a factored in cost in about 10-15 years or so, at taxpayers expense.

Ohio State, specifically Brian Hartline, has had a great two days. In back to back days they landed a 5* WR, Carnell Tate then Brandon Innis. All the qb’s and incoming qb’s should be very happy. The WR room just stays so deep.

The WR room just stays so deep. Clearly Hartline and Day are killing in recruiting and developing of wr’s. With all the talent though and NIL how many Jameson Williams situation are we going see? And are the buckeyes just developing for the Bama’s and USC’s?

If that’s the worry then I guess there’s two options.. either keep recruiting the same and doing what they’re doing.. or take it down a notch and lower the standards to prevent that. I know which one I’m choosing.

It can happen every year for all I care if we keep recruiting the way we are.

The study suggests there is a significant gap between #1 and #2 as well. Great place to be, huh?

OSU has committment from the #2 & #3 WR in the class of 23, they have 4* Noah Rodgers trending 100% to Ohio State, to go with the #1 QB in this class. All's well at the skill positions. Shouldn't this be a recruiting plus, as we try and attract top OL?

If every major college kept NIL info a secret, then it would not be a factor in recruiting. The fact that everyone knows AND there is a rating system, technically lets the recruits know where they can get the best paycheck. Since they already know about the coaching, visibility and chance to win.

3 in 3 days… Noah Rogers, a 4* WR and #50 overall nationally, just committed to Ohio State. Absolutely crazy.

The J. Williams paradox doesn’t bother me, unless we let a person like J. Williams talent slip and leave. Now hindsight is always 20/20 and sometimes we never know how good a person can be until they’re gone, but that’s just how the dice rolls sometimes. With that being said, I see absolutely no reason to throttle down on bringing in these WR’s. I would say and I don’t think it’s a stretch that just about every WR room in the country looks at the buckeyes with jealous rage at what we’re doing.
My only question though, is when are we going to make that small leap of getting into the what I call “Bamadox.” Rarely do we see a Alabama team that has a significantly weak roster in areas. I hate to give them credit, but the next man up mentality should have Alabamas photograph next to it. It seems like they never miss a step and if they do, they get it worked out immediately. I hate the bias they get from everyone, including the “SEC” as a whole, but they’re doing something right that keeps them either in or playing for a national championship.
I would like to see the Buckeye turn that corner as well and believe Day has the ability to do just that. If the NIL ranking could be used to our advantage, take it and run as hard as hell. Take every advantage you can, just for the love of god make the next Michigan win in 20 years and not increments of 10.

It is obvious Hartline runs a team WR room and the good teammate attitude will bring success to the team and the individual. Maybe J Williams didn't buy into that. Even the most talented athletes do not fit in everywhere. Lets not forget that Joe Burrow was a backup at OSU. If the player leaves and becomes the best player for someone else, that tough, but let's try to keep the Heisman trophy guys and the No# 1 draft picks on roster.

Practicing and playing with the best QB room in College football. Being coached and by the best WR coach and the Head Coach with the best passing offense in college football. The best ones know they better commit early be left out.

BOOM!!! Jermaiane Mathews chooses The Ohio State University, over Alabama and Oklahoma! His announcement just came on the heals of another significant announcement from OT Miles Walker committing the Buckeyes. (a good day for the Buckeyes)

In about ten minutes 4* DL Jason Moore will announce his committment between PSU, Mich, OSU & Maryland. The Buckeyes really need this one, with only one DL committed for '23.

Moore did commit to Ohio State. Big pickup for the D-line.

Moore did commit to Ohio State. Big pickup for the D-line. This was a crucial pickup for the Bucks! We only had one DL entering today. We have zero LB's committed and that is worrisome. LB Curtis Tacket is at the top of my list and hoping. Not as worried as Crimson Tide, who have an unusual number of decommits and are losing their targeted players to other schools. Very uncharacteristic for them. Ohio State was ranked #2 in the national recruiting rankings, trailing #1 ND by about 7 percentage points. This acquisition returned Ohio State to the top spot again. 2023 Recruiting Rankings

No money left at TA&M for this year?
At this time of year Bama never has very many commitments. Their player average is 2nd highest, just .2 behind Ohio State.

Bama has lost a few, previously commited recruits that have flipped elsewhere, but as you say their avg. is 2nd only to Ohio State at 93.47 and OSU is sitting on the highest avg. at 93.67 They are always late comers and move up late in the game. We're gonna get them, maybe this year? I was wondering the same thing about A&M, currently ranked #60 Harbaugh's team is sitting at #45 and the quality is not there to make any appreciable move upward.

Alabama always comes on strong later on. It seems like every year they seem to have few commits and then they still end up in the top 5 in the team rankings.

It will be interesting to see how Larry Johnson, Ryan Day & Mick Moretti decide to groom Jason Moore in the coming years. If they relegate him to an interior DL they will have him bulk up 40-50 lbs. If they see him as an edge rusher, focus will be on keeping him basically where he's at, replacing soft tissue with hard muscle and fine tuning his technique and quickness. Personally, I think they keep him on the edge and get a few more DL's with Hawaiian names (Matayo Uiagalelei would be a great start)..lol Either way, is going to be a win for the Buckeyes.

You forget, Jim Knowles' defense actually only has one DE. The player on the other side of the D-line is a hybrid LB/DE who stands up and moves around to other places in the defense. JMHO, but I think Knowles would like Moore in the middle of the line deflecting passes with his 6-6 frame and wing span, which he's been quite good at in high school.

I hate to say it, but I am expecting big things out of this defense this year. Maybe not a complete Night/Day, but without a improvement, we’re going to be putting a lot of pressure on that offense to operate at a high RPM every game.

They also return 8 starters on defense(counting the transfer from Oklahoma State as one) so even though they may not have been good last year that experience definitely helps, along with any other guys that got playing time too.

I’m not going to expect a completely revitalized “Silver Bullets” squad, but it would be nice to see them put in some work.

I think the Buckeye defense will prove to be the big story of this coming season. I think it is going to be much more confident, focused, physical, less predictable and much more intimidating than recent years. There has been no lack of talent on the defensive side of the ball, but it was a classic case of mismanagement and as we saw last year, in complete disarray at one point, early in the season.
We know what to expect and get from the nations top offense. The defense will be this years 'big surprise' and consequently, one of the bigger stories in college football in 2022.

If the Buckeyes expect to contend for a NC, that defense has to improve. Not like no one already knew that lol.
