What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome back to the Bill and Doug show. Bill Landis, Doug LaMaurice. He's Bill. I'm Doug. Ohio State spring practice number five in the books on Saturday.
What insights did Jeremiah Smith share about his performance improvement?
We talked with new receivers coach Cortez Hankton after practice and All-American receiver Jeremiah Smith. A lot of people in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on Saturday, Bill.
A ton of recruits there. I won't pretend to know who every one of them was, but Jet Harrison was there. That was interesting. Marvin Harrison's little brother was in the house. Given name or nickname? Do you know?
I actually don't know. When your dad's a Hall of Fame receiver, it's possible your given name is Jet. That's a pretty cool name.
Yeah. He's, by the way, like rocketing up the... recruiting boards he is number four overall in the composite ratings on 24 7 sports and i think on three slash rivals has him number one overall in that class obviously and he's in what class 28 class of 2028 so a little got a little time here on this guy so so he's finishing his sophomore year
of high school right now this spring, right? Yes.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cam Hayward was there. I recognized him. He's not a recruit, but he's another.
I thought I saw him. I thought I was from pretty far away. Is that Cam Hayward?
Yeah, there with his lovely family. Nice to say hello to him. And a couple black stripes off on Saturday among the transfers, which is, you know, it's like, hey, you've started in major college football, but you're not a true Buckeye yet. But it's nice to have still a ceremony that matters to guys.
Yeah, it is. I think it's a little bit of insight anyway into what's happening in spring practice, too. So Kyle Parker, receiver from LSU. Lost his. Cortez Hankton told us that. I think as we're talking right now, Ohio State has yet to announce that. But that happened after Saturday's practice. And then Earl Little Jr., transfer safety from Florida State, also lost his black stripe. And I thought it was funny. Funny slash interesting, I guess. When Jeremiah Smith was asked about Earl Little Jr., he said, like, he's going to hit you. He's going to make a lot of plays. And I don't want to say much more than that because I think he's going to be special for us. And he, like, was smiling the whole time he said it.
What does becoming an Iron Buckeye mean for players like Jeremiah Smith?
So... Seems like five practices in the spring that Earl Little has made quite the impression on Jeremiah Smith.
So let's talk about Jeremiah Smith. We'll also talk about Cortez Hankton a little bit. But Jeremiah Smith, arguably the best player in college football. We plan to have a big Around the Shoe episode focusing on Jeremiah Smith on Monday with, if they still show up, Stephen Means and Adam King, two good folks to talk about Jeremiah Smith with. It felt like... He was like bringing it a little bit, which is like, well, who cares how he talks to the media? But he was, you know, you're in year three. You're kind of the veteran in the room. They lost a lot of guys, you know, Sonny Stiles and Caleb Downs from last year. Jeremiah Smith, just role on this team has changed. And it seemed like in speaking with us for the first time since before the Cotton Bowl, he had embraced that.
Yeah, I mean, he's been the most famous player on the team since he showed up, but I think has been... um he's had a little bit of a buffer i think in terms of having to be like the face of the team a spokesman for the team a guy who has to like kind of get out there and and be a a little bit of a vocal leader too and probably in some ways and i felt he was a little different like like with a lot of young players you tend to get shorter answers and as they get older and more experienced in their career the answers seem to tend to get a little longer and a little more interesting and often more thoughtful and introspective. And I think Jeremiah was kind of all of those things on Saturday in a way that I agree with you.
I do think it was a little notable that he was that way. Yeah.
He said they were the worst team. What's the context? He said he was talking about what he wants to get better at.
