Welcome back to the Bill and Doug Show. Transfers. Best transfers in of the Ryan Day era. We're making lists, Bill Landis. Most painful transfers out of the Ryan Day era. We're not going to count what just happened in this recent transfer portal period that happened in January. But then I think then we can talk about like, oh, the ones that are in, like, where could they maybe fit into a list like this down the line? But we're more talking about like a historical perspective, which I think is interesting. It's from... A question that came from one of our Substack subscribers, and we certainly would invite you to join us on our Substack, billanddougosu.substack.com. We write about Ohio State.

What are the biggest transfer additions for Ohio State in the Ryan Day era?

Doug Lesmerises 0:48
We do two extra shows over there a week talking about stuff. But it's just a good, interesting topic to sort of reset what the portal can do for you.
Bill Landis 0:58
Yeah, it's... Especially, like, I had not, like, compared sort of, like, all the incoming classes, like, to each other. So that was an interesting exercise to look.

What painful transfers out have impacted Ohio State during Ryan Day's tenure?

Bill Landis 1:09
Because it's, like, it's almost like they kind of hit or they don't. Sort of collectively. I guess with, like, one or two exceptions.

How does the recent transfer portal affect Ohio State's roster?

Bill Landis 1:18
But, no, it was nice to go back through these, whatever it was, five classes or so of transfers to see who the best ones were.
Doug Lesmerises 1:25
And we like to interact with our Substack subscribers. And by interact, we mean... steal their thoughts and, uh, turn them into producers for the show. So we, we always do call out for questions over there from our sub stack folk. And we get too many, not too, not too many. We get so many, we can't include all of them on our typical Sunday show where we answer questions. So we save them. And this is from Josh M our guy, which is, created this show ryan day's top five transfers he has brought in and the top three he has lost since he has been here thanks as always guys so that's what we're going to do unless you want to do a top 10 transfers in you said you had a big list right i could probably do 10 yeah i've i've marked down five but i could definitely do 10
Bill Landis 2:17
If you wanted to.
Doug Lesmerises 2:18
I have a top 10, so I could do them as honorable mention and we could just do five. I kind of do a top 10 if you're up for it. Let's do it. Okay. You can wrangle your 10. I can adjust on the fly. Yeah. So this is going back to 2019 and that first year when Ryan Day took over. And of course he brought in Justin Fields. He might appear on this list, right? Jonah Jackson, that first year, those kinds of guys back before we really were in the portal era. Right. So then like you're going through and it's like, Oh, there's a guy in 2019. 20, 21, 22. And then it's like, okay, here we go. 2023, 2024, 2025. And now what's happening in 2026. Again, we're not going to include the 2026 guys here, but we'll talk about where they maybe could fit in, what it would look like.
Doug Lesmerises 3:03
So we'll start with this. I'll start with my number 10. Okay. So as we go through the list, we'll go in reverse order. And then if you have this guy, you can just say, oh, he's my number six, whatever. We'll go through it like this. My number 10 is, And then I have a thing. I'll tell you my thing now. Okay. I don't like counting Julian Sand on a list like this because I think it's so different because he didn't play a full season at the place. He was there for a month. Yeah. And it's not like the idea of what the transfer portal really is. And it was particular to a retirement that freed everybody up. It wasn't... a guy played for a team and you watch that guy play and then we're like, we want to go get that guy.
Doug Lesmerises 3:52
So I'm not saying that we can't have Julian San on a list like this, but I sort of like didn't include him in my top 10 for that reason. So I don't, I don't know.
Bill Landis 4:04
I think that's fair. I would like, I was sort of conflicted on whether or not I should add him for those reasons, and since you're doing that, I'll take him off my list, too. I think that he is sort of a standalone compared to everybody else.
Doug Lesmerises 4:18
Yeah. Okay, so then I'll say my number 10, and I'm surprised by this, but we have really come around in our discussions about this guy.
