The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the transfer of wide receiver Jameson Williams to Alabama. Was it a mistake to let him feel like leaving was his best chance for success? What could he do in the Alabama offense? The fellas also discuss the surprise commitment of safety Kye Stokes. The show then turns toward the school up north for a discussion about a Michigan coach who oddly took a shot at Michigan State on social media.

The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and double-digit Buckeyes heard their names called including first-rounder Justin Fields. But it was not without its own drama for each and every player as some players slid a little further than expected, some came off the board quicker than expected and the real debate now rages over who had the best draft and who made good and bad decisions.

We are talking about the recently completed draft in this edition of the BIA (BuckeyeGrove Instant Access) podcast as Kevin Noon and Griffin Strom look back at the seven rounds of action that saw dreams come true for 10 former Buckeyes.

Plus, we are talking about the 2022 draft, and while that is still 350-plus days away, never too soon to start up that hype machine.

Michael Citro and Chip Minnich discuss the departure of Jameson Williams to Alabama, the decommitment of Dasan McCullough (and his subsequent commitment to Indiana.), and the Buckeyes that did and did not get selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss Michigan's spring camp and in particular the lack of information that was allowed to get out. Why is Jim Harbaugh being so secretive? What would it be like to cover something like this? The fellas also discuss some coaches' comments on the Michigan quarterbacks and how things are going there, while also talking about what others are hearing about what's actually going on. It's a Michigan-centric show, so buckle in.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr discuss the recent decommitment of 4-star athlete Dasan McCullough and what it means for the Buckeyes. They also take a look at past decommitments and how things worked out for them, for Ohio State, and for the show. The fellas also discuss the Buckeye quarterbacks and wonder how far they can go with just "game managers."

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr go back and grade their bold spring predictions from well before spring practice actually began. How accurate were they? Do they grade on a curve? Did TreVeyon Henderson live up to the bold prediction laid down by Tom Orr? Did Jack Sawyer?

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr have rewatched the Ohio State spring game and have actually taken notes about what they saw. They go back and forth with many of the items that stood out to them after a second watch, including the quarterbacks, Jack Sawyer, Paris Johnson, and much, much more.

Michael Citro and Chip Minnich break down the Ohio State Buckeyes' Spring Game, the quarterback battle, the players who flashed, and Eddie George's new job in the college football coaching ranks.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr give their instant reactions from Ohio State's 2021 spring game. Who stood out, who didn't, what should we make too much of, and so on and so forth. It was just a spring game, but there were plenty of players to talk about.

Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr recap everything that Ohio State receivers coach Brian Hartline had to say during a media Zoom session on Thursday. He had a lot of positive things to say about Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison, and Julian Fleming. The fellas also talked to Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jameson Williams, so they relay what the Buckeye receivers were talking about as well. Special teams coordinator Parker Fleming also spoke with reporters and they recap that conversation as well.
