The exodus appears to be under way at Ohio State. Just days after putting on a stunning 500+ yard, 6 TD performance against Utah in the Rose Bowl… without future NFL first rounders Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson, Buckeyes QB CJ Stroud declared Tuesday morning for the Transfer Portal, starting what is expected to be a frenzied recruitment for the Heisman finalist.

Rumors have swirled since it was revealed shortly before Christmas that Ohio State is under investigation, but Stroud is the first notable player to leave since the revelation.
More defections are expected this week, but none are expected to be as significant as the departure of Stroud.

Hard to believe that one. Any other sources?

Not being reported anywhere else. Ohio St. QB J.P.Andrade just entered the portal though.

Watching this Link to see if it pops up later.

There have been a few other people who were reported to be in the portal, then they were not and then they were again.

Stroud is not in the portal, yet! Obviously, that could change any minute.

I've done some scouting, CJ has excellent sub security. Someone check the ankles.

Why wouldn't every marketable player "enter the portal" at the end of each year and see if anyone is willing to pay them more NLI money? It's just free agency at this point, right?

You are a free agent. Why don't you change jobs every year?

If he does enter the portal, then maybe Jaxon Smith-Njigba will see it as a sign he needs to go home and join the good guys.

A man can dream, right?

Because no one is offering me more money to do so. It's the same concept if I put my application online to see if I can get any better offers.

So what you are saying is that if there were a monetary bidding war for your services you would be interested. But it's off putting when it's a college football player?

Who said it was off putting? I think it's great! Go out into the market and get what you're worth. Selfishly though, I think it's going to suck for the schools and the fans to have constant turnover, but it is what it is.

We have a lot to offer. If anyone doesn't want to be here I would wish them well and we will find the next man up. I suspect that you could make more money by job hopping and you make a decision to stay or leave based on a million things that have nothing to do with money. Just like players are free to do.

Transferring from OU with your coach leaving I could understand.

Transferring from OSU when your team generally dominates the conference seems completely moronic and doesn't make sense.

Not if one feels driven to win a national title in college ball and a Heisman. Is this guy the one who gets you there?



Or not?

I think he's weighing that. B1G hasn't been in the CFP final game often. And won once. Under Urban Meyer.

It's about going to the NFL more than winning the CFP and fields did just fine.

Not if Ohio State gets hit with NCAA stuff. That's the missing piece here. OSU paid off the civil litigants.

But is NCAA far into their look at it? IDK.

Make an offer. He's worth it.

Too bad he couldn't have entered that transfer portal in December 1.

Have doubts on this one. This would be the biggest sports story of the day if he was in the portal

For starters, you can only enter the portal once, without losing a year.

rootube-

not sure what/why you're trying to argue. your attempted analogies failed, and Ojos rightly shot them down and adressed them. You also wrongly assumed he was arguing a point that he wasnt.

you need to take a logic class….

Bingo. I don't understand why this would surprise anybody. This is the new norm. Why would the most marketable player in college football not make himself an unrestricted free agent if he can unilaterally do so?
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

He should be. If not his NIL deal should be larger than Ewers 4 million
