Hey, hey, where you've been?

Bucket talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on, man.

Welcome back to Buckeye Talk.

I'm Stephen Means.

That's Stefan Kreisnick, and that is Andrew Gillis.

As we continue to preview the spring position group by position group, Gillis and I in our homes. Stefan's at the combine. We'll talk about that later on next week. Well, what happened at the combine. But also, you can turn on NFL network if you have YouTube TV and they will show you everything. That's relevant at the combine. And you can also get the text, 614-350, 3-0, 335. It's a two-week free trial, $39.99 after that.

If you're that interested in what's going on, show you everything. That's relevant at the combine. You can also get the text. 614-350-0-3-3-1-5. It's a two-week

free trial, 399 after that. If you're that interested in what's going on at the NFL Combine with former Buckeyes, and you want to hear from a former Ohio State defensive coordinator and what he thinks about a current Ohio State defensive lineman, well, Stefan texted you that information. 614-350, 3-315, two-week free trial, 399. After that, we continue on with our

position previews, and today is Gillis' favorite day. It's wide receiver day because, you know, he really loves the past game. It's his favorite thing in the world. If it were up to Gillis, we'd be throwing the ball 75 times per game, and they'd only want it once because that's the world

he wants to live in he wants everybody to have an air raid offense isn't that right yeah and stephen

means just said austin saroville is soft and luke montgomery is a baby and carson hinsman is a

terrible football player why does mine have to be iler bowen is a miserable coach. Crazy that's Stephen said that one. Why does my false narrative have to be negative? Look, if you're going to false narrative, me to death, I can fight fire with fire. We can keep doing it. No, no, I understand. I heard you, Stephen. You called Tyler Bowen a cry baby. That's crazy. Here's my question. I'm not saying the false narrative isn't funny because we're being facetious. I'm asking, why did mine have to be a negative false narrative? Yours wasn't necessarily negative or positive. It was just kind of like, which way do you like to play football? You decided. Let's not pretend like that's your only false narrative, though. Today, no I'm talking about right now. We're talking about what happened. Today, they're an operative word. Yeah, it's a new day. Every play is its own individual play. Allstate's wide receiver room in 2026 officially, the returning starters, Jeremiah Smith at X and Brandon in the slot. They lose Cardinal Tate to the NFL draft, which Stefan will be talking with later this week.

It should be interesting.

It could potentially be the first wide receiver taken off of the board as Ohio State continues its streak of first round wide receivers.

He would be their sixth overall in their fifth NFL draft, while Jeremiah Smith and Brandon Ennis returned

also back from last year, even though they didn't necessarily have a role, are Philip Bell and

Desi Jones as second year wide receivers. And that concludes the list of people who are back

in Ohio State's wide receiver room from 2025. Incoming, you have Devin McEwen, a transfer from UTSA. We'll be talking about him on this podcast. Kyle Parker, a transfer from LSU. He follows Cortez-Hankton, who was also the wide receivers coach at LSU last year. And then from a recruiting standpoint, you're bringing Chris Henry Jr., the number two wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class, along with your creding

Guilford, who was a top 80 recruit, Jaden Rickett to Ohio native and then Texas native Brock

Boyd.

Those are the people.
