Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to your Thursday book. I talk from Cleveland.com, Doug Limeries, Nathan Baird.

We just talked to Ryan Day. We're recording this Wednesday afternoon and on Wednesday morning,

late morning. Ryan Day had a pre-spring football practice Zoom teleconference with the Ohio

State writers. And that's what we're going to talk about because we got some information from Ryan

Day. And then on Friday is the first day of spring football practice. And we're supposed to talk with

Kerry Combs and Kevin Wilson and a couple players. That's the plan on Friday. So that'll be our

Saturday podcast, you know, talking about this because we're at the point now, Nathan, where

it's not just what we think. We actually can start basing what we think off what people are

saying, which I think is a lot of good for everybody because sometimes people get tired of our random

opinions on things. So we're just going to talk about what Ryan Day talked about. So we'll go back

and forth. Why don't you start, Nathan Baird. What do you want to talk about first?

Well, it's unfortunate that we don't get to see things. That's the actual best thing usually about

the spring is, you know, this is only my second spring here. And my last one was very abbreviated,

but it was quite a revelation to be able to go in that first week last year and start actually

seeing what seven banks look like and seeing where the linebackers were lined up and seeing

where certain other guys were lined up in the secondary. And we're not going to get that. So

the, but actually talking to people can be informative. One of the things that jumped out to me

today, a question I asked was just where what does the deal with Paris Johnson? Like this is kind

of an example of where it crosses over from things that we're speculating about to things that

someone like Ryan Day will then either affirm or disconfirm. And he said today that Paris Johnson

is starting the spring as a guard, but that there was an opportunity for that to change if necessary.
