| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in. |
| 0:31.0 | What about the bug? I talk Steve at me is an Andrew Gillis and it's a recruiting pod. This typically comes to you on the Tuesday, but it's an off week. So we've switched some things around and so we're doing this on a Friday last Friday. |
| 0:44.0 | Andrew and I went out to go see Myling Graham, five throw wide receiver, number 17 player, number six wide receiver, and the 2024 class, one of three wide receiver commits in Ohio States, 2024 class, which ranked second in the country right now. |
| 0:59.0 | And yeah, it wasn't much to see. Not necessarily all his fault. He got hurt early in the game and very much limited him. I think he heard it ankle as well, which was basically a precursor to what to expect. We watched the Notre Dame game because Marvin Harris and heard his ankle, but he also proceeded to stay in the game even if he was limited. |
| 1:22.0 | So, but Andrew, in the time he was healthy, we did get to see some stuff and how they used Myling Graham at New Haven High School last Friday. What just take away from that, but then also in talking with his head coach about the creative ways they have to find ways to get Myling Graham the ball. |
| 1:41.0 | Well, you know, I think one of the things that I know, I mean, it was it was it was abundantly evident and with all due respect to I believe it was Columbia City in Indiana that they played. |
| 1:52.0 | So with all due respect to Columbia City, I don't think this is disrespectful, but they did not have a dude who could come even close to matching up with Myling Graham and there are not many high schools in the country that can have a dude that can match up with Myling Graham. |
| 2:07.0 | So, they doubled him pretty comically. |
| 2:12.0 | And you would know that if you subscribe to the text 614-330-315, I sent out a picture. That was pretty good ad read. I like that. |
| 2:20.0 | You know, I sent out a picture and I'll try and describe it for the people who are still maybe on the fence or who don't subscribe. |
| 2:27.0 | It was pretty funny to watch because it was like they had a corner up tight and then they had a safety stacked right behind him. |
| 2:37.0 | So they they would sometimes leverage it a little bit where the corner would play a little bit inside safety play a little bit outside. |
| 2:43.0 | But it wasn't really anything like unbelievable in terms of different things that they were thrown at. |
| 2:51.0 | The closest comparison that I could make was if you've ever seen a high school basketball game where you have a bunch of 6'4 kids that are playing center and then all of a sudden one team shows up with a 6'9 kid and you just have two kids on them with their hands in the air just trying to prevent the past, that's pretty much what that was. |
| 3:10.0 | You know, it was it was unique because Milen mentioned this after the game, but that's not new. |
| 3:17.0 | You know, that's not something that he's seeing for the first time or the Columbia City through Adam for the first time. |
| 3:24.0 | You know, this is something that happens very frequently. |
| 3:28.0 | So what New Haven does and I asked Coach Boor I think was how you pronounce his name after the game and you know he was very, very nice and very, very thoughtful I think with with kind of his answers on how they have to get him the ball in the scheme of their offense. |
| 3:46.0 | So what they do was he'll play outside, he'll play inside, they'll have him run a jet motion around in the backfield because wherever he goes two people are following. |
| 3:57.0 | You know, this is this is not just a man on man situation or you know you're running zone on defense and somebody will shift over so they had a lot of unique different ways to move him around. |
| 4:07.0 | He played in the backfield at times, played the slot played outside. There was just a lot of different things that they that they did and obviously you know we kind of jinxed him a little bit I think because there was a lot of Ohio State writers at that game and you know we we only saw maybe a half or so of how they were using him offensively but really creative, really unique and I was it was interesting to see kind of I think mentally. |
| 4:35.0 | There are certain things like you know you watch a five star receiver play especially when it's going Ohio State it just looks different like I and again like there's just you know there are a lot of really good football players in you know in this area of the country. |
