How do you think the Buckeyes did in the transfer portal? Did they net upgrade their roster?

What was the average player grade going out and what was the average player grade coming in?

What's up everybody? I appreciate you joining us here on Crane and Cone. Make sure you hit that subscribe button.

We got a long way to go into college football kicks off, but we got you covered with

college hoops.

We're going to have you covered with college baseball.

But we're looking ahead right now, into the crystal ball. And that's why we decided to bring in one of the best in the country. Now, we already have a couple of best in the country. You got David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback there. You got Blaine Crane in his Abercrombie and fit shirt.

Doesn't have the scarf on today.

I'm proud of him.

It's not a scarf.

It was a scarf. back there you got blaine crane in his abracombian fit shirt doesn't have the scarf on today i'm proud of

him it's not a scarf it was not a scar it was my hunting mask no it was it was it was a scarf the way you were

wearing it was a scarf but today we're going to be talking some ohio state buck guys in 2026 a new

some new pieces and important spots but a lot of key pieces returning with a guy

David Company does sound pretty good. It's a pretty nice merch off of that. But Josh, you know, we've talked Alabama, we've talked to Miami, we've talked Georgia, we've talked Texas. Ohio State, when you look at this team, and I want to keep them in the same bucket as some of these other top dogs. You look at Georgia again.

I mean, we can look at the number, we can sit here and say, oh, they finish this, that, and the other. We know what they have coming back. We know about Jeremiah Smith. But again, you go in and you pinpoint certain areas in the transfer portal, and you make an elite roster even more elite you go from the justice league to the avengers and that's what they've done and with julian saying as much as people are

talking about archmanning taking that next step and i think he will i think julian saying has a chance
