Ohio State can get just about any player it wants from the transfer portal these days... but the program is successful enough that it doesn't need to settle for second-best.
The transfer portal ushered in a new era of player mobility, giving student athletes a modicum of autonomy they hadn't previously enjoyed. The portal also gave teams the opportunity to add players with more data behind them than your average high school recruit, although it also meant losing players hoping the grass might be greener elsewhere.
For programs with the cache of an Ohio State, the portal hasn't necessarily been a free-for-all each offseason, however. The Buckeyes – along with a few other teams like Alabama, for example – can afford to be highly selective with the players they recruit off the transfer wire. This week the Dubcast takes a look at that strategy, and how farming the portal has largely helped the Buckeyes in recent years. We'll also take a look at how NIL might change the dynamics of the portal, and what Ohio State needs to do to stay ahead of the curve.
Gene Smith shared his feelings about the NCAA's latest moves to corral the wild wild west of the NIL era, and we'll discuss what his insights add to the discussion and where the sport goes from here. Finally, an extended Ask Us Anything segment tasks us with building a championship coaching staff from among our favorite literary/movie characters mentioned in recent episodes of the program. Who fromwould we want coaching the Buckeyes, you ask? Stay tuned, my friend! And you should absolutely Ask Us Anything by emailing your question to
