Summary

On this Thursday Buckeye Talk, it's time to dive into Marv again. And then it's a taste of Notre Dame football coming off spring, as the Ohio State Buckeyes look forward to a September visit to South Bend. On this episode, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means start by diving into Marvin Harrison Jr. as an NFL Draft candidate. The guys predicted the entire 2024 draft for the Buckeyes in the previous episode, but MHJ required his own discussion. So what other receivers does Harrison Jr. compare to as a prospect? (0:30) And what NFL teams might be most interested in him a year from now, and which teams might go after a quarterback like Caleb Williams instead? Could Harrison really go first? And could he wind up on the same team where his dad was a Hall of Famer, with the Indianapolis Colts? Then (43:35) it's a visit from Eric Hansen on InsideNDSports.com on the Rivals network, as the Fighting Irish are done with spring practice and had some transfer portal movement. The Irish host the Buckeyes on Sept. 23, so this matters to OSU fans. How did transfer QB Sam Hartman look this spring? What's the Notre Dame side of Lorenzo Styles transferring from Notre Dame to Ohio State? How good are the Irish on the offensive line and on defense? And what will Year 2 be like for former Buckeye Marcus Freeman as the head coach in South Bend? Eric has info on all of that. It's a busy Buckeye Talk, and thanks as always for listening.

0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you've been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:26.6	Welcome back to your Thursday book. I talk with Tom. We're talking Marv. Don't be Mariss. Nathan
0:31.2	Baird, Steven Means, what did his entire podcast for Wednesday, an hour and a half, about the 2024
0:38.6	NFL draft, but Nathan Baird, I'm glad we broke out Marv because we went 90 minutes without him.
0:46.2	We were just like, oh, yeah, he's good. Let's move on to Lathan Ransom and Tommy Eichenberg and JT
0:52.0	Tuy Molowow. And I'm glad we did that, but we have to address this, Nathan, and I think maybe
0:58.6	it should be our policy at Cleveland.com and at Buck, I talk just as we talk about this team,
1:04.7	the rest of the year, maybe we just break Marv out every time. And it's like, let's have a
1:08.8	discussion about the other 84 scholarship players and then let's have a Marv section because the
1:14.7	thing that's interesting, Nathan is I've been covering this team for a long time. They've been around
1:19.2	for a long time. You guys have been covering this team for a pretty long time now. You're used to talent.
1:24.7	It's normal. It's like, oh, chase young. Oh, CJ Stroud. Oh, Justin Fields. Oh, Garrett Wilson. Oh,
1:31.5	you know, for me, oh, AJ Hawke. Oh, Malcolm Jenkins. But still Nathan, is he cute? Oh, yeah,
1:38.7	he's good. Still, still, there's something about this guy. And I don't want us to go overboard,
1:45.1	but I also don't want us to go underboard because you're so accustomed to elite players at Ohio
1:52.7	State. And I still think Marvin Harrison, Jr. is kind of a different conversation. And I think
2:00.4	a moment like this is a moment when we tip our cap to that. Yeah, I was trying to think
2:06.6	anybody in my time that has been at this level of preseason acclaim and people's certainty that
2:15.2	they're going to kind of just wreck the sport that year. And it chase young is the only one.
2:20.8	The 2019 was my first year. And that's really the only comparison that I can come up with. And
2:25.9	even on top of that, though, he's Marvin Harrison, Jr. I keep came here with a famous name that's
2:30.8	only gotten famous, sir, if that's a word, more famous. You know, he's he that name also
