As always, our guys are back on Thursday for some inspired recruiting chatter.

Mark, Bill, we are not going to release the transcript of what was said before I turned the camera on.

That's not because I said anything. Good morning, everybody.

Shocker. When the cameras off, guess who's the most controversial one. It's not the Dean.

All right, guys, Mark, you've done two excellent reports this week. We had a long discussion on defensive lineman and defensive ends before the show two guys.

We've done down and dirty on this week. Jason Moore out of D'Amatha and Mateo, you like it lately at a St. John Bosco out in Cali.

We did Mateo first. Bill, tell us about Mateo, you like it lately. Everyone knows a little bit about that last name.

And just how much Ohio State wants them and then Mark can let us know exactly what they're going after.

Well, actually in both the cases, Mateo and Jason, these are guys that the highest state is, you know, certainly making a strong pitch at four.

Mateo has not set up an official visit to Ohio State yet, but I expect that to happen. He's got a basically a final five top five list that includes Ohio State.

And he has been out of Ohio State, I believe two times, I believe, including a high states camp last summer.

And they're recruiting him as a defensive lineman defensive edge type guy.

And he's a guy that they certainly are highly interested in bringing in. And despite his brother being at Clemson, I think this is a pretty open race for him.

Obviously, things haven't gone. I don't think anybody would say perfectly for his brother at Clemson. And I think that Mateo is a guy that could end up at Ohio State.

In the case of Jason Moore, he is scheduled to make an official visit and shocker. It's that one weekend, June 24th of 26th, when just about everybody else is scheduled to make an official visit to Ohio State.
