Before J.T. Barrett... before the 2014 national championship... there was Braxton Miller. Following one of the most difficult seasons in Ohio State football history, Braxton became the face of Urban Meyer's rebuilding effort and helped restore the Buckeyes' dominance over Michigan. In this episode of the Michigan Killers series, we revisit Braxton Miller's memorable performances in The Game, including his spectacular five-touchdown performance in Ann Arbor in 2013, his first victory over Michigan in 2012, and how his leadership helped lay the foundation for one of the greatest eras in Ohio State football history.

In this episode of Bleav in Buckeyes, Bryant Browning and Chimdi Chekwa break down the latest Ohio State football recruiting news, including the Buckeyes' massive commitment from five-star wide receiver Jett Harrison. The conversation explores how Ryan Day and wide receivers coach Brian Hartline's successor, Coach Hankton, continue to build one of the nation's elite recruiting pipelines while adapting to the changing landscape of NIL, roster management, and modern college football recruiting. The hosts also evaluate Ryan Day's place among the greatest coaches in Ohio State history, comparing his accomplishments to Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel. Plus, they debate why Ohio Stadium remains one of the toughest environments in college football, examine recent NCAA rule changes, and analyze the Buckeyes' biggest recruiting wins, misses, and what they mean for the future of the program. Whether you're following Ohio State recruiting, Buckeye football, or the latest college football news, this episode offers expert insight into the future of one of the sport's premier programs. Key Topics Ohio State football recruiting and the commitment of five-star WR Jett Harrison Ryan Day's recruiting philosophy and coaching legacy Coach Hankton's impact on Ohio State's wide receiver recruiting How NIL and roster management are reshaping college football recruiting Comparing Ryan Day with Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel Why Ohio Stadium is one of college football's toughest venues NCAA scheduling and roster rule changes Ohio State's recent recruiting victories, misses, and future outlook Key Takeaways Ohio State has signed 11 five-star wide receivers since 2019, cementing its reputation as Wide Receiver U. Coach Hankton's recruiting efforts helped secure Jett Harrison's commitment while reinforcing the importance of continuity within the coaching staff. Ohio Stadium continues to rank among the best home-field advantages in college football and remains one of the sport's most intimidating venues. Ryan Day has firmly established himself among college football's elite coaches with an outstanding winning percentage, consistent College Football Playoff contention, and a national championship-caliber program. As NIL and scholarship limits continue to evolve, elite programs like Ohio State may prioritize roster balance over signing multiple five-star prospects at the same position in a single recruiting class.

There's a pattern that often appears in sales organizations: someone isn't performing, and the response is frustration, blame, or eventually, a conversation about whether they still belong on the team. What rarely happens is an honest look at whether that person was ever actually set up to succeed — whether they had the development, environment, and preparation to perform when the stakes were high. In the 200th episode of Breaking Sales, Dan sits down with three-time national championship-winning college football coach Urban Meyer for a conversation about what high performance actually requires. Coach Meyer spent decades putting other people in positions to succeed. His philosophy on what that takes — and what gets in the way — translates directly to how you lead the people around you… and how you think about your own performance.
