Summary

C.J. Stroud said in a recent interview that he felt disrespected when Quinn Ewers arrived at Ohio State -- earlier than expected just before the 2021 season. On this Tuesday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird try to put that Stroud reaction into perspective and answer some questions now that Ewers is two seasons removed from the Buckeyes. Was there any way Ohio State could have saved the Ewers situation considering how it went down? What would have happened if Ewers had stayed on his expected timeline and arrived for the 2022 season? Should Ohio State learn anything from Ewers that it can apply to quarterback recruiting? Did the Ewers situation have a negative or positive effect on Stroud? How should Ohio State stack quarterback recruits now? It's not quite a BuckeyeFly Effect, but spurred by Stroud sharing his thoughts, it's a reason to revisit an odd chapter in OSU quarterback history.

0:29.3	Steven being still off and we're talking about, whoo, an old name from the wayback machine,
0:34.9	quenures. But we're not just talking about quenures, brief Buckeye, the briefest of Buckeyes.
0:42.3	For no reason, we're talking about him because CJ Stroud talked about him, Nathan, and that in
0:48.2	form, you get out of the world, you get out of the world, you get a little more real.
0:53.5	Yeah, it could say what you think now. And so CJ Stroud had some comments about when quenures landed
1:00.7	at Ohio State that we're going to talk about to help shape our opinion on how Ohio State handled
1:07.7	that, but also really more about the future, what Ohio State could did learn from that and how it
1:15.0	affects how they recruit and stack quarterbacks in the years to come. We're also going to hit some
1:21.4	stuff later this week just so people know. The plan is we're going to talk about the most important
1:25.9	Buckeyes. We're going to rank the most important Buckeyes for this season. And I'm going to do a little
1:29.6	thing on a kind of a rants pot. I'm going to rank the most important opponents for Ohio State this
1:35.0	season. Big whole list coaches, players, coordinators, the people, they are going to have the greatest
1:40.7	effect on the Buckeyes that are not a Buckeye. So we got some stuff. So it would be a little gossipy.
1:46.8	This is like TMZ version. I just caught it at that TMZ show. I just caught it for eight seconds
1:54.0	on my way to a friend's repeat. Whatever they do, they drink water bottles and they lean in their
1:59.0	cubicles and they gossip. This quenures is about as gossipy as Ohio State coverage and Buckeye talk
2:07.6	can get, right Nathan? It is. And it was a thing that I was just up this morning. I saw it pop up
