  • Best of the Buckeye podcasts

    If you had to pick one podcast to follow the buckeyes, this would definitely be it. Been a daily year round listener for years. These guys know their stuff and it’s like hanging w some good friends. But I digress.

Recruiting reset | Brown on campus | Caboose hoops chatter
Q: How often do recruits bring up NIL or financial terms during recruitment?
From the hosts' experience, it's rare for prospects to publicly discuss financial terms; most say it's not a factor, while a few honest ones acknowledge it as a factor among many. The overall sentiment is hushed, with many NDA-style arrangements complicating transparency.
