SKULL SESSION: JACK MILLER IS THE FUTURE, GRADUATE TRANSFER CHANGES, AND JOEY LANE OFFERS TO PLAY QUARTERBACK
THE SKY AIN'T FALLING. I thought we'd start the day off be reminding you all that Ohio State's current starting quarterback is the highest-rated player ever to sign with the Buckeyes and the heir to the throne, Jack Miller, is coming in next year.
And by the way, there's no chance this Tweet was coincidental:
Yeah, Ohio State's probably boned if Justin Fields goes down with an injury this season (no disrespect to Chris "The Dragunov" Chugunov, of course). That's certainly not ideal, but it's also very much a bridge we'll cross if we get to it.
It's not great, but I'm not even convinced this isn't Ohio State's best-case scenario, given all other options. It's easy to say this wouldn't have happened if the Buckeyes never took Fields, but I honestly think it would have played out very much the same way.
Dwayne Haskins was always leaving, and the loser of the Matthew Baldwin/Tate Martell battle was probably going to transfer no matter what, leaving the starter and Chugunov – exactly where we are right now. But in this case, Ohio State has a starting quarterback who I personally believe is better than either Baldwin or Martell.
The biggest difference is that if Fields never comes to Ohio State, there's at least a chance the Buckeyes do sign Dwan Mathis, but even that isn't a guarantee. Remember, Fields didn't chase Mathis away from Ohio State, his departure from Georgia just opened up a very advantageous spot on the Bulldogs' roster for Mathis. And if Mathis was looking for a convenient path to playing time, who's to say he wasn't going to find that somewhere else, and sign elsewhere anyway?
I don't know. Maybe things could have worked out better, but I still think Ohio State has the most talented starting quarterback it possibly could have had in any scenario. It's just now a little more important to keep him on the field.

The '21 QB who went to tsun because he was Day's second choice was saying he used to love OSU but now he wants to kill them
so he pretty much fits right in up there already
funny how things work out

Here's the "article" that spawned the Twitter battle:
His quotes are rather unintelligible (yeah, I know, strange for the Harvard of the West), but claiming he was "lied to" is a real stretch.
Anyway, word on the street is that JJ was literally begging for the Ohio State offer. When the Buckeye staff went with Kyle McCord (who was actually favoring Michigan at that point), JJ threw a little hissy fit and committed to Ohio State's rival to get revenge, or some such thing. Perfect Michigan Man....

Ahhhh...the best reason to choose your college. Because you can get developed into the NFL? Because you love the atmosphere? Because you're local so your family can watch you? No....because the one you really wanted didn't want you, so you pick their rival to make them jealous. That always works.

Yeah, didn't really get that statement. Uh, can you play the foosball? No, then there are multiple other schools in Ohio that would like to talk to you.
