Wide variety of topics today.

1. Coaching staff changes - I still continue hearing no staff changes in on-field staff are expected. Guys could still leave on their own, and the rest of the points below could in theory change things.

2. Meetings - there are a lot of meetings happening right now. One in particular I have been told is AD Weiberg and HC Gundy are meeting daily to discuss most of the stuff in this update and plan to continue to do this indefinitely

3. Transfer Portal- the latest rash of entries has stirred every one up. Not just the fanatics on this board, but social media, more casual fans, president, AD and so on. As for additional entries, like many of you, I have heard Brennan Presley has decided to enter. However, he has yet to do so as far as we know. Beyond BP, I haven't heard any other specific guys that may be on the edge.

4. Despite what I said in #1 above, do expect Marcus Arroyo to be involved in OSU's spring football, as a consultant. I don't know if that's paid or unpaid. His UNLV buyout has made it tough to look at other coaching gigs...including OSU...if there was an opening or one was created. Either way, he's a consultant for at least 2023.

5. So what has transpired the last few days? That's what every one associated with OSU football is trying to solve. Is the latest rash of Portal entries due to poor communication? Lack of direction/change in the offense? Butt hurt over SS? A player-run coup?

It's some of all of those things. With SS situation in particular, it's more about not having an experienced QB to distribute the football, whether that's SS or another portal guy than anything.

Offensive changes are coming - that's part of what Arroyo will be consulting on. It may be too little, to late for the guys in the portal. JPR had a TCU offer within an hour of being in the portal . Boogie has Oregon and Tennessee offers.

6. NIL - I think this boils down to everyone getting on the same page. And that is definitely being addressed.

That's it for this afternoon.
