We don't know the answer to that question, but we do know that there are plenty of potential receivers. In the list of 26 transfers, there are 5 WR and 3 TE, plus an RB, so 9 potential people to catch the ball. On top of that, the Freshmen who will arrive include 3 more WR, 2 more TE, another RB, plus an "athlete", a total of 7 more potential people to catch the ball. It doesn't stop there, though; there are also 2 more receivers who are preferred walkons. All told, Ohio added 10 Wide Receivers, 5 TE, one "athlete" and 2 running backs, a total of 18 more players who are potential receivers. Hopefully, in amongst all those numbers, some new stars will appear.

Did I completely miss that we lost Hilton as well?

We lost our Top 7 in receiving yards last year + a bunch of dudes who were supposed to be next up (Hammer, Hilton, Rhone) Would be stunned if anyone else in the country was hit harder than we were.

Jacoby REALLY hurts, but man that room was decimated top to bottom.

I have high hopes for Owen, Rodarte continuing to be productive as they were in JUCO/FCS. Especially Rodarte. Hendricks (11 catches) and Rodney Harris (1 catch) are the only two WR returning who had a catch last season...

Would be nice to see one or two of these freshman explode on the scene.

Coleman Owen and Izaiah Hartup were very productive at the FCS level and hopefully that will translate here.

The big question for me is what kind of production will we get out of the two B10 transfers in Dennis (Michigan) and Pugh (Illinois).

While true, the other teams Ohio faces will have the same problem, perhaps to a lesser extent, but still the same problem.

Off top of my head-
QB Rourke to Indiana
WR Cross to Indiana
WR Jones to UCF
DL Burell to Colorado
TE Kazmarek to tosu
TE Tyler Foster to Oklahoma State
CB Cox to Illinois
OL Daneaker to Baylor but he hurt knee and is done
LB Keye Thompson to PITT
WR Wilburn to Albany
RB Oshaan Allison to Austin Peay

all listed 1st or 2nd string.....

Do we have a list of players who entered the portal, giving up their scholarship, but who ended up without a scholarship offer anywhere?

Sieh Bangura 3rd string Minnesota

Hope the money’s good.

I saw Jacoby didn't catch anything for UCF and Cox had two tackles. No Buell listed in Colorado's defensive stats either. I truly do hope that the money was worth going and sitting the pine. It reminds me of Jaaron Simmons. For him it seemed worth it to go to Michigan because it allowed him to start his coaching career. But in terms of playing, he was an afterthought.

There is just SO MUCH bad advice given by Yes Men. I shouldn't feel bad because these are adults making adult decisions, but these days they're guided by CURRENT dollar signs and not future dollar signs. They're guided by social media and being in the lights.

I get it man. OU isn't churning out NFL RB's. But you know where you don't get to the NFL? Obscurity. Being 3rd on the depth chart as a junior. You could've been one of the first. You could've paved the way.

Honestly, I felt like he could be a next-level RB. At the very least, get a shot. If he kept putting up stats. Being the 3rd string RB at any school is not how you get there.

Jaleel McLaughlin - was an absolute BEAST at Youngstown State. Youngstown. FCS. Not exactly the shining star of college football. I'm CERTAIN he had people in his ear after 1300 total yards as a junior. He probably had them in his ear after 700 yards in 7 games as a sophomore. He was like I'm good here. I'm dominating. Comes back as a senior and does exactly what he did the year before, only has almost 2K total yards. Got on some radars and stayed on the radars. Now he's the #2 RB for the Broncos and I just saw Sports illustrated had him as one of their Top 10 breakout stars for this season.

Grass is rarely greener. I'd love to be a sort of career counseler for some of these kids. They really need someone to be like THESE are the facts, THIS is the reality. I know Minnesota probably told you you were the next big thing and you're gonna help them win the Big10. And here is $100K to prove it, but here at Ohio University you will be the starter, you will be the focus of the entire offense. You will have 150 yards every game. You will be on ESPN every night in November. You will have eyes all over you. THAT is how you get to the NFL.

I watched that UNC-Minn game last night thinking the same. What a waste of talent that could be playing at Ohio. He'll get some carries later in the year as guys go through inevitable injuries, but not enough to highlight his skills.

Buell isn't on the stat line at Colorado either. Kept flipping back and forth between the games, trying to catch Bangura or Buell to no avail. Buell may have seen the field, but I didn't catch it.

We talk about how losing Jacoby hurts, and I agree to an extent, only because his recovery from a really nasty injury injects some uncertainty.

To me, the one that hurts is Kacmarek. His size, blocking ability and decent hands made him stand out in my mind. I've liked the way that guy plays from day one. He's 2nd on the depth chart at tOSU, and one would think that he will see some playing time there. I think he could have been a monster in Athens his last couple years.

He is more like 1B at OSU, lots of two tight packages, he will see a lot of snaps.
