Summary

Ohio State has not been one of the schools that has gone all in on the transfer portal. Under Ryan Day the last few years, the Buckeyes have continued to focus on adding high school talent and taken a pick-and-choose approach to the transfer portal, finding talent where they need it and filling holes when necessary. What has made the Scarlet and Gray successful early in the transfer portal era, however, is that Ohio State hasn't lost key players at important positions. Day has made it clear that retaining talent is just as important, if not more so, than adding collegiate players. It is important that the Buckeyes are developing most of their players for themselves and not other programs. But the Scarlet and Gray have lost some players to the transfer portal over the last offseasons. In this day and age, this is unavoidable. Bucknuts looks back at the 2022 offseason and the players who elected to depart the Ohio State program. Where did they go, and how have they performed since leaving Columbus?

0:00.0	What? And the The Oh, Hello Buckeye fans and welcome to another episode of the Bucknuts
0:56.7	Happy Hour. I am Patrick Murphy here with you today. I am going to as my colleague
1:02.1	Dave Biddle likes to say ride solo for this episode
1:06.4	which will probably be a little shorter it's the off season there's not as
1:09.6	much to talk about but still plenty to get into today and we are going to focus
1:15.7	specifically on the transfer portal and take a look maybe a different little look
1:21.7	at why Ohio State players haven't jumped in the transfer portal,
1:26.0	ones that maybe you would have expected to jump into the transfer portal.
1:31.0	I've done some looking into that, personal research, talking to some people, things like that.
1:36.4	And we've touched on this before on previous episodes or on the Bucknuts Morning 5 when I've been on there,
1:42.3	but I wanted to do a bit of a
1:43.6	deeper dive and then we'll also look at maybe a couple guys that Ohio State is
1:47.1	still interested in in possibly landing from the transfer portal but we'll get
1:51.5	into that as we go but let's start with the most important stuff,
1:55.8	the beer of the day. We're going with PBR again. I think this is like the fourth or fifth straight
2:00.0	show. I've had a PBR. I don't know where all these came from in our fridge, but I will certainly take them if people are going to just leave PBR's at my house or wherever they came from. I will drink them here with you guys.
2:15.6	Cheers to a Friday, cheers to PBR.
2:20.4	All right, anyway, let's get into this, the transfer portal.
2:26.7	I think with the way things have gone in the transfer portal era,
2:30.8	there's always this assumption that guys not playing very much
2:34.8	especially highly recruited guys not playing very much well he's gonna jump in the
2:39.5	transfer portal and for the most part, and I think more likely than not, that tends to be the case.
