I just wonder if they can maintain this every single year. It feels like a one-off, championship or bust type of year with regards to spending the amount of money they have. There's no way they can spend that much money every year. Also how often can you convince multiple 1st round picks to come back?
I know everyone thinks they won't be that good next year since it's just the offseason, but I think it would be a huge upset to beat them in Columbus.
We haven't really recruited safeties and corners very well. After this year, we'll have like 3 guys to play safety along with whatever freshmen we get.
I think this more to get experienced depth than anything.
So annoying how much we struggle to recruit. You would think on offense, at the very least the best RBs in the country would love to play here. We struggle with QBs and WRs for obvious reasons, but our struggles at positions like CB/S are weird.
Luckily, Marshall was a great pick up in the last class. Seems like we'll be in some more diamond in the rough types for RB.
Rutgers has 2 future top 5 NBA draft picks coming in. They're more talented overall for sure but they'll be reliant on freshmen so that will be an easy.
Our offense is not going to be good. We really dropped the ball and didn't use any of the momentum of winning multiple titles to recruit better. Our recruiting dropped, especially at WR and QB and it shows.
I'm just hoping the QBs look at least decent. I know people here knocked OSU's QBs during their spring game, but I just have a feeling we won't see much better today.
I'm already having nightmares of our offense just being Iowa, smashing our head into a wall hoping our defense will save the day. Unfortunately we don't play the B1G West.
Our offense is going to be bad next year. The inability to get a good QB recruit in 3 years and just poor recruiting at WR is going to haunt us. We'll be so Iowa like, but hopefully a little more exciting.
I think the drop off from these last 3 years is going to be a little shocking to people.
Our inability to recruit DBs is just crazy to me. We consistently put players in the NFL and our players are good, yet last year and the year before we had to settle for fliers and plan Cs. Obviously a very long way to go but you would think some elite players would want to go to Michigan.
Yes, I know the staff is all new, but still I just figure since they were pretty young they would get a new coach bump plus the NC, but oh well. I just think they issues will eventually come to bite us, like this year's QB situation and offense in general. Defense seems to be next after this year.
I feel like Braun is getting a lack of respect. I would put Braun and Fisch above Moore just because they've been head coaches and done well in bad situations.
Ryan Walters being towards the bottom is great, fuck that guy.
We really have to stop with the idea that they were unlucky in the previous seasons. They performed bad in close games consistently because they were bad. They collapsed multiple times in the second half, it's not like they were losing off buzzer beaters or anything.
Also the idea that Terrance Shannon is LeBron and was the cure for everything is just crazy to me. The previously teams were talented, but they had awful roster construction and awful coaching. They were talented enough to win. This year's team is awful construction-wise and not very talented.
It was shocking that people thought this team would be better simply because they didn't like Dickinson's personality.
I know we all have to support the players and whatnot. They should get their money and good for them. It definitely has made the sports worse though. NIL and the transfer portal make it way worse as a fan and I know that's not popular to say.
Zeke was one of my favorite recruits in his class. I really hope he just arrives this year and he's a future 1st round pick like I thought he would be.
This probably raises the floor of our QB room to maybe average in the B1G. I'm still worried our offense will be incredibly pedestrian, but at least I don't think we'll get bad QB in Tuttle.
What's right? Where are you stopping OSU from tampering and buying recruits? Where are you with other teams sharing stolen signals?
He's such a piece of shit. The right thing for the conference was trying to sabotage your best chance at a title for what, so Ohio State can do it, so Penn State can piss down their leg like they always do?
I truly hope people chant fuck Pettiti every time he's in public.
Seems like a good hire. The position coach hires seem solid, even though I'm still not very pleased with the DC hire. Hopefully these guys are good recruiters and elite developers and can hang around a few years.
Moore shouldn't have the job if he can't maintain the level of the program, if you're giving him 4/5 years to build the program, you hire an actual experienced HC to build their program. Moore was hired for continuity, so if he can't continue what was going, you get rid of him.
It's literally the only reason he was hired. He was not some elite OC that a bunch of programs were going after. He was hired purely for continuity and I guess because everyone assumed Minter would leave.
It's disappointing that we won a national title and are seemingly headed towards a steep decline immediately after. The schedule is brutal next year and the after everyone on defense will be gone, so it just doesn't seem like a good start.
He could still become the HC of an NFL team after being the HC of a college. I personally would have rather Minter than Moore but I dislike both the scenarios.
I would have rather at least gotten the better coach with the more impressive unit and the defensive coaches were also the best recruiters on the team. Moore was an ok OC, but offense was never anything crazy, I know advanced stats had them top 20, but everyone saw them just shut down for multiple quarters at a time. There's a reason no one on offense has been poached and the defense has been raided.
The staff has been downgraded big time and that was our calling card.
I'll be shocked if Moore is successful here and especially since he's pretty much bringing in a whole new staff. I don't think he keeps his job only winning 8/9 games a year.
His defense fell off and the NFL didn't want him because he tried to sabotage a head coach. I'm sure his defense will be fine next year because of the players on it, but his NFL defenses were below average the last few years and there's a reason no one there hired him to be a DC.
Shockingly, he was not the problem and losing him was a negative. It was insane to me that people thought losing him and 2 NBA draft picks would somehow make us better for "culture" reasons.

I miss Simpson.

This was probably covered a decade ago, but they don't say Jungle Beats, they're saying Jahlil Beats.
They've had like 4 skill guys drafted in the last 10 years, not including QBs. Wan'Dale being the most accomplished I would say

He would be a great pick up. Go get him and Davis from California and you have a great RB class.
That Iowa offense was average, but boring. I'm saying I'm hoping we can be average, but I don't think offense will necessarily good.
They had a DE covering Moore there, huge mismatch.
Moore's got some wheels.
Does Orji have the least pass attempts out of the 4 QBs? Seems odd since that's clearly the question mark with him.
I think it's more because the gap between QB1 and QB4 at the moment is very small.
That was a great throw by Warren.

I'm praying for Nate Stanley Iowa level offense.
Denegal clearly isn't ready.
The QBs just aren't confidence inspiring.
That was a nice throw by Denegal there.
Warren so far is the better passer.
Nice scramble right there.
Orji's footwork really is bad.

We're sounding very Iowa like, but like a Nate Stanley Iowa.

This really sucks. It especially sucks since he passed on the NFL for us.
I would say 2 is the most likely. I can see 6 in the first 3 rounds though.

I'm going to miss him so much.
The blew a lead to them last season for their first loss. I think Rutgers has won 3 or the last 4 or at least the last 2.
Please just fire Howard and move on. This program is in the gutter with no hope on the horizon unless you dump Howard.
It's impressive how awful this team is.
Crazy to have a team full of forwards and losing one and not having any depth to replace the injured forwards.
Sucks for him, he was a good addition and played well.
Zeke was one of my favorite recruits in his class. I really hope he just arrives this year and he's a future 1st round pick like I thought he would be.

They're not family, they're a shit business partner who really needs you to run the business.
…
Fuck you Tony, fuck you.
Carried your shit conference on our backs while you stabbed us. Michigan should be trying to sabotage everyone constantly.
Also weird how we didn't hear from you after the B1G or after the national title. You shut up then, shut up now.
Seems like a good hire. The position coach hires seem solid, even though I'm still not very pleased with the DC hire. Hopefully these guys are good recruiters and elite developers and can hang around a few years.
Impressive, hopefully they all get drafted. As others have said, that's a ton of talent to lose at once.
Seems like a good hire. Cincy had some good talent on D when he was there and working with the Jets is good too since they have a good DL and defense.
No he didn't, he a LB coach and assistant LB coach that were fired, the rest of the staff for the Giants stayed.
