A First Look at Ohio State’s Signing Class of 2022

It’s early signing day for the class of 2022, so we had to bring in our recruiting analyst to help us break it all down.With Dan Hope’s voice recovering from a weekend bout with laryngitis, Garrick Hodge fills on this week’s episode of Real Pod Wednesdays at the perfect time for him to make his debut on the show, as Garrick and Griffin Strom talk about the players who just signed with Ohio State and who could be the early and long-term stars among the newly inked Buckeyes.In more than 30 minutes of discussion about the early signing class, Garrick and Griffin discuss what stands out to them about the Buckeyes’ class so far and how Ohio State could round out the class of 2022 between now and the February signing day.In the second half of the show, the guys share their thoughts on a variety of additional topics including C.J. Stroud finishing fourth in the Heisman race (31:55), the latest developments in the transfer portal (38:51), Ohio State paying Jim Knowles $1.9 million to be its new defensive coordinator (43:45), the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s four-game winning streak (50:15) and which player could make the biggest leap in bowl practices (56:30).
