We've been on the David Gabriel-Georges recruiting rollercoaster for what feels like ... an eternity. But the ride comes to an end tomorrow. Will it be a thrilling experience we look back on with affection? Uhhh ... we will see.It's the third high-profile courtship in recent memory that saw Ohio State and Tennessee come down to the wire. David Sanders chose Tennessee. Legend Bey chose (!!!!) Ohio State. Many signs point to the elite Class of 2027 running back choosing Tennessee. But we've come this far, let's finish strong! Mark Porter is here while Garrick Hodge - in a bout of clairvoyance - is on vacation this week. We look at scouting video of DGG, talk about the impact of his decision - both ways - and explore who could hop on the radar if DGG falls off.Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohioans are on the edge of their seats. It's decision time. Who will commit first: LeBron James or David Gabriel-Georges? Will LeBron and DGG choose the Buckeye State? Yes, we kid ... but only slightly. Garrick Hodge is here. Mark Porter is here. Neither has real NBA chops. That's fine because it's DGG chatter the 'Nutters crave and we have it for you.Also, we SHOW YOU that running back recruiting at Ohio State is flowing with a video deep dive on Class of 2028 commitment Elijah Newman-Hall. Mark's latest 'Buck-Eye In The Sky' film work is worth the price of admission today.We also opine on Ohio offensive lineman Anthony Blalock's commitment to Alabama and the likelihood Ohio State gets retaliation against the Yellowhammer State when native Karlos May commits later this week.Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
