June 16, 2021 Hangout in the Holy Land: The Pros and Cons of the Proposed CFP Expansion, Diving into More Ohio State Recruiting (06/16/2021)
The hosts are new, but the sarcasm hasn’t changed a bit. Join Gene Ross and Josh Dooley all year long as they break down everything going on in Buckeye Nation.
Expanding on their edition of You’re Nuts from Monday wherein they debated the logistics of an expanded playoff system, Gene and George talk about what they like and what they dislike about a larger postseason field. They discuss the positives of an eight or 12-team CFP, like a more important bowl season and the potential for a greater distribution of talent, as well as some of the negatives, like a virtually NFL-length season and de-facto automatic invites for schools like Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State.
They finish up this week’s episode by discussing some of the latest happenings surrounding a busy month of Ohio State recruiting. They talk about the biggest name set to be on campus this upcoming weekend, as well as some of the guys you should keep on your radar as potential BOOOM candidates as the Crystal Ball predictions begin to roll in and the rumor mill continues to swirl thanks to a litany of visitors flocking to Columbus this June.

June 09, 2021 Hangout in the Holy Land: Ohio State's Biggest Areas of Need as Recruiting Marches On (06/09/2021)
The hosts are new, but the sarcasm hasn’t changed a bit. Join Gene Ross and Josh Dooley all year long as they break down everything going on in Buckeye Nation.
Gene and Josh take a look at Ohio State’s current recruiting tactics through the lens of where the team needs to improve. After an odd 2020 season, which position groups are the strongest for the Buckeyes and which need to see the greatest influx of talent, and how is Ryan Day and the rest of the staff addressing those needs in who they are recruiting from the 2021 commits all the way through some of their 2023 targets?
The guys break down some of the biggest names Ohio State has landed over this period of time and some of the most important prospects they are attempting to snag moving forward. They also discuss the impact of the new transfer rules and how that could potentially play an impact on both the Buckeyes’ recruiting plans and how they construct their roster as we embark on what has become college football free agency.
