good to know that Redskin is becoming more and more respectful of Ohio State. I didn't even bring up how Mich handled Xavier Simpson a day after they lost at home to OSU in hoops, because this is a football thread.
Riep was not a projected starter. He was going to compete for playing time. Fact of the matter is OSU won't miss a beat without those two guys and imo that factored into the decision to cut them as fast as we did. I'm an OSU homer, but I also know enough to see how these things go. OSU is very deep and it speaks to how the players had ought to know better and not put themselves in a position like what happened. Cutting two guys that quick I'm sure sent a real clear message to the rest of the team. If it had been Justin Fields,,,I 1000% believe that Day would have waited to let the justice system do it's job and see how it ended up.
Carlos Hyde for example got treated much better, not that he was ever charged, but had he been a 3rd team RB---it would have been see ya later Carlos.

Riep was the projected starter according 11 warriors. The fact that he was the guy off the bench to replace Wade against Michigan and Clemson lends credence to that belief. You also shouldn’t use the words cornerback and depth when talking about Ohio State. The buckeyes don’t have enough scholarship corners to field a two deep when they bring in a slot corner for a safety. Who knew that bringing in one corner in two classes could backfire? Why do you insist upon trying to draw equivalence between past instances and this? Carlos Hyde’s actions while unacceptable behavior are not rape and kidnapping. Your attempts to somehow draw equivalence between the two is not flattering.

That adds credence to my strong belief, The OSU will be looking around at grad transfers for the best CB or CB's to fortify the positional depth. We will be fine.

During Ryan Day's presser after the first day of spring practice he was asked if they were looking at the transfer portal to add depth at a couple of positions. His answer was, "We're pretty full right now".
On the subject of a paucity of experience at corner. Day was asked if it was possible that Reip would be reinstated. He said,"Nope". Then asked what if he was exonerated? Day just shook his head no.

Rumblings that Stover is moving to TE from DE. Could be experimental, or perhaps insurance if one of the current TE's decides to hit the portal. Hausmann could be a candidate after graduation. Perhaps he sees the writing on the wall splitting reps between Farrell and Ruckert. Will be interesting to see how this plays out in the Spring. It's official, he wasn't at DE for long. Ryan Day said Stover's basketball background and his spacial awareness made it logical for the move to TE. The Letterman Row guys at the first spring practice said Cade was one of the players that stood out.

He will be a major contributor and establish his legacy, no matter where he is assigned.

The college weight room has transformed him. The kid has put on almost 30 pounds the good way and it appears the coaches are trying to find a way to get him on the field.

Those 4 were on the field for a combined 51 games with the most obviously being 14 games. With only 5 TEs listed (last year there were 7) and one being a walk-on, there may be a very good chance the move was made for a need and he fills it.

Ryan Day made the point that the possibility was discussed with Cade, but Day said it was Cade's decision to make the switch to TE or not. The more I listen to Ryan Day about recruiting decisions and players he wants on his teams, it becomes more evident he likes players that can play multiple positions. At the first day of spring practice he had some LBs playing Safety and Safeties playing LB. The 2nd string Center vying for a starting position at Guard. He notes that he wants their 11 best players on the field on both sides of the ball.

Depending on how much playing time he perceives he'll get this year. The possibilities of how the Transfer Porter could affect a roster is NOW of prime importance when projecting how it affects position groups.

yeah but man we are loaded at TE, if guys are transferring out i don't see the sense of having a kid who just started learning the position fight to see the field
who knows tho? lots of time before the first game

Could Cade have been the #3 DE this year? If one of the top 3 returning TEs transfers after spring practice, Cade is closer to seeing the field at TE. ALSO, one of TE's on last year's roster was just moved to DE.
Cade is a good fit at TE due to his athletic ability. Through out his 4 years of varsity football he had success at Safety, LB, DE, TE, WR, Tailback and QB. Starting on both sides of the ball all 4 years.

switching from LB to S is one thing, switching from DE to LB to TE is something else altogether Actually he was recruited as a LB and then as the season went on played some scout team DE due to his size and even saw a little time on the field. Now in the off season he was offered a position that my guess would open a door for him to see the field and he accepted the offer. He was listed around 230lbs in high school and now is listed at 255.

Depending on how workouts have gone, this kid is either 4th or 5th right now and is still young to the position.

Master Teague now out for the entirety of Spring Practice. Rumors of an achilles injury yesterday. Now RB may be a bit thin until Summer.

I like Teague and Crowley, but still not that comfortable with the RB situation, even before this injury. Think there may be a little shopping around at what might be available on the transfer portal, along with CB.

AGAIN, Ryan day says his roster is "pretty full right now". No "shopping" room.

I've seen a lot of great RB's over the years, but none impressed me more than Treveyon Henderson. If you haven't seen his highlight tape, make it a point. He's the best I've seen and.....a 4.5 student! I'm prayin' this kid will wear a Buckeye uniform one day!

The spring game has been cancelled Do like the conference tournaments, play it in front of empty stands, with simulated crowd noise and scoreboard messaging. Us fans at home, deserve to see the product on the field, in the comfort of our easy chair. I guess, video calls (Skype etc.) will suddenly have an elevated prominence in recruiting efforts, till we quell this current menace.

Trey Sermon has entered the transfer portal and there’s a lot of talk of the Buckeyes being a possible landing place. He was high on Ohio State before ultimately committing to Oklahoma a few years ago. Would be a nice addition at RB for one season with what’s going on with Teague.
