He was always expected to be the HC in waiting, just no one thought it would be this soon. He's elevated their recruiting in the year he had been there. Players wanted him, recruits wanted him. He will be learning on the job coaching, but the program would have taken a significant step back in talent with early signing day in 2 weeks as well as the transfer portal if they didn't make this move. He is the main reason they actually have a couple 5 stars in the 2022 and 2023 class and are getting some recruits from Ohio that Ohio State wants. IMO a great hire, al be it one with risk. A soon to be 36 year old head coach along with a 29 year old offensive coordinator both who are great recruiters. Keeping almost all of the staff (even though Kelly tried to give them huge raises to follow him). There will definitely be mistakes on game day, but it definitely brings new blood and energy into the program.

Maybe. I think the push for Brown is because Ewers coming early means both Miller and McCord are gone. But could be. Montgomery is interesting Both ND and OSU offered him early, partly in an attempt to get his brother. If Ewers had been here this spring, I think he'd for sure be gone, but since he didn't arrive until fall and is already getting paid, I think he stays. All it takes is an injury to Stroud next year and he is playing early. If all 3 go, the QB room is definitely in trouble behind Stroud, which is why I think at least 1 stays and I believe it will be Ewers. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens.

I think Ewers will stay as he is still so young and all he needs is 1 year of playing to be a top pick. I do think Miller and McCord are likely to transfer as it's unlikely they get any real playing time.

Our comp pick this year will be after the 2nd round - they rotate every other year for the teams that qualify and under the current system I believe we cannot lose our comp pick, so the lost pick would be our 3rd round pick.
