I went down to Ohio, but my city was gone.

Cleveland, city of lights, city of magic...
Great to hear! Cornerback Dawayne Galloway, out of Columbus, Ohio, also got CBd to Michigan. Galloway is 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, and ranked 96th overall in the 2025 class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. Galloway is the fifth-best recruit in the state of Ohio as well.
This is the way.
Interestingly, Ohio hasn’t offered. The Buckeyes have already landed some highly-ranked cornerbacks for the 2025 class, so they have ignored Galloway just like they did Rod Moore, which came back to bite them.
They'll keep getting kids that don't get the rivalry and in the process send the homegrown kids that do to Michigan with a chip on their shoulder. Works for me.

That's basically what happened at msu in the 2010s
It's also what Tressel understood and that's why the rivalry shifted in their favor when he was hired. He put a wall around the state of Ohio.
April 23rd, 2024 at 10:57 PM ^
Is Dawayne Galloway related to Joey Galloway? If so.. oh my…
Anyone else watch his film and notices his hop cuts when he runs? I guess it reminds me of TJ Yeldon at bama, unless am thinking of the wrong RB.
Anyone else having a mental issue trying to separate the now-“National Analyst” Tom Loy from the previous “complete and utter Notre Dame homer” Tom Loy?!?
.
.
I guess he got promoted with Wing Ding moving to On3.
I'm still trying to process FONG BOMBS from On3. I can't deal with any more right now.
What is sorta funny about this is if you go to Davis' 247 recruiting page, it still shows Alford as OSU's main recruiter. Also shows Hart as Michigan's recruiter.
Bottom line is if this happens and sticks, Alford definitely should be given a free dinner at Ruth's Cris.

Recruiting wins celebrate at the Brown Jug. Pay in cash though.

Yes. Ruth’s Chris and the hopefully-now-standard department provided limo service.
From the recruiting board:
This was already going to be a Michigan-Ohio State showdown before Michigan took Ohio State's RB coach. The CA 4* Jordon Davison recruitment is going down like a 5-star battle, and both want OH 4* Marquise Davis to be the 2nd guy in the class. Also there's a Bo Jackson Jr. out there. Michigan was already prying Jamario Parker out of Arkansas's class, and Hart really liked Iverson Howard so there are options if OSU wins either of those recruitments.
We have also recently expanded the RB board with an offer to 3* Jasper Parker.
How many RB's does a team need? LOL!!!
[insert] Dr. Evil 1 Million gif
All your RB's are belong to us.
Our look is toughness and running the football, I love it! Can’t wait, I see Orji scoring our first TD this year!
This is good, now he won't have to spend the next 3 years as Xarquise Davis.
To be fair you know they'd miss that M at least 40% of the time.
You’re really giving osu fans credit down here with that 40%. Any “big” words longer than 5 letters, they seem to get confused and 60% of the time recognize there is an M in there. Playin’ skool bruh!
April 23rd, 2024 at 10:02 PM ^
He would be a great pick up. Go get him and Davis from California and you have a great RB class.
Not happening. Davison is going elsewhere. Plus two top rbs won't go to same school
April 23rd, 2024 at 10:04 PM ^
That is some quality crystal right there. Thanks for sharing.
April 24th, 2024 at 12:51 PM ^
So high quality it's a Cristal ball.

I love getting kids from Ohio and it is almost better when they don’t have an OSU offer because that fuels the hell out of them in the Game.
April 23rd, 2024 at 11:07 PM ^
There’s been a rumor that the Buckeyes “assume” a thing or two. First, they recruit nationally - and if there’s a five star out-of-state, and a four star in-state - they’ll target the five star with an assumption that - if the five star doesn’t commit, the in-state four star will automatically accept an OSU even if it’s at the eleventh hour.
So, NIL can influence this - but, it seems some of these talented players in Ohio don’t like being ignored - and, taken for granted - that they’ll immediately accept an offer from the Buckeyes even if it’s at the last minute.
Oh, there’s that little “development” thing too…. And, the last three games may have made an impression too.
I don’t believe that’s a rumor. Rod Moore, Jordan Marshall and the kid from last years class from St Ignatius (name blanking) alluded to this. And credit to Clink, because he was the one who broke this idea up imo
To be fair, that method has worked out well for them in much of the past 20 years. But, tide is shifting a bit. Especially when they watch osu get pounded into the dirt
April 23rd, 2024 at 11:13 PM ^
He probably broke down the spring games and was like, two had touch isn't for me.
Come on up north, Marquise! We use the whole alphabet in Michigan, and are not afraid to use the word Ohio.
April 23rd, 2024 at 11:18 PM ^
Bring your anger up to Ann Arbor and turn it into TDs against an ohio state
Feel your anger. Turn to the Blue Side!

OSU put him on the back burner so they could chase Jordan Davison. It would be hilarious if he decides to stay home and play for USC or goes to the SEC. Then they’ll be left with their third choice.
I think Ryan Day really struggles with player evaluation and development. Example, he went prioritized McCord over McCarthy, Henderson over Edwards, some TE that may not even be on their team over Luke Lachey (who was not only a legacy, but his dad does the color commentary for their radio coverage - how don’t you offer that guy?) and probably many more that I don’t know about. I’m not saying they would’ve landed any of those guys, but he picked the wrong guy to prioritize every time. It’s a good sign that he selected Davison over Davis. It’s practically a guarantee that Davis will be great.
April 24th, 2024 at 11:55 AM ^
I dont think he prioritized McCord over McCarthy. He had McCarthy visit first and pressured him to commit and JJ said he got a weird vibe and wanted to think it over. So Day took McCords commitment because he is lazy and didn’t want to fight for McCarthy. He mostly has this attitude of “I’m doing you a favor kid, so commit or gtfo”
April 24th, 2024 at 12:20 PM ^
No, JJ wanted to go there and stated that Day told him they were not going to take any commitment so soon but then took McCord's a little bit later.
JJ grew up a fan, yes. But he was never on the verge of going there based on his visit and getting a bad vibe from Day.
Somehow the internet has been retconned into believing the OSU beat’s version of events.
What I said is 100% what happened. Based both on insider articles at the time and also what JJs dad told someone I know on the huge discrepancy of the vibes they got on the visit from Day vs Harbaugh. I know we can’t we convince OSU fans, but we should stop repeating their made up version of events.
Edit: for further proof, this article from May 9, 2019, which is after his OSU visit but before his Michigan visit and before the story about “OSU said he couldn’t commit” came out.

Our RB room is so stacked. Keep em coming Coach Alford
I noticed we picked up two more CBs for OT Avery Gach on Monday. Since they come from Sparty and Buckeye insiders, they're clearly not just bait for the benighted.
If you enjoy tenacious run blocking to an almost hilarious degree, watch Gach's Hudl highlights
It’s happening
I watched a YouTube video of the kid last night and all i can day is, "wow." He has wheels, and regularly out ran players that had the angle on him. Despite the speed, he loves to run between the tackles. He is the real deal Holyfield and i hope that we get him.
Lemme guess.....
- He wasn't a take for us, anyway.
- We got guys with more starzzzz so we never wanted him anyway.
- He's not tough enough for Ryan Day's culture
Either way, taking guys from Ohio has been very beneficial for us in the past. They're almost always the guys who step up their game big time whenever OSU comes around. Would be happy to have this kid on board.
That's EXACTLY what's happening LOL: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/ohio-state-recruiting/2024/04/146867/class-of-2025-recruiting-news-part-27
And yes - love guys with a chip on their shoulder. A certain Michigan player, perhaps greatest football player of all-time, famously had a chip on his shoulder....It needs to the Michigan way now and forever.
