  • Buckeyes Stay Hot Recruiting, David Gabriel Georges & Jett Harrison, Cardale's Video Game Story 🤣

    Buckeyes Stay Hot Recruiting, David Gabriel Georges & Jett Harrison, Cardale's Video Game Story 🤣
    Jul 8 2026
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones and host Dave Holmes are back with another entertaining and informative show. We kick things off with a game of “Where’s Beanie?” as Beanie Wells is out enjoying some time on the golf course. From there, we react to the United States’ disappointing loss to Belgium and discuss the controversy surrounding the rescinded red card. That leads to a conversation with Cardale about the toughest officiating call he experienced during his football career and a time he felt his team was on the wrong end of a referee’s decision. The recruiting trail remains HOT in Columbus as Ohio State continues building for the future—not just in the 2027 class, but also in 2028 and 2029. We break down the Buckeyes’ latest recruiting wins, including the additions of 5-star wide receiver Jett Harrison and another elite young pass catcher from the 2029 class. Plus, we provide an update on Ohio State target David Gabriel Georges and discuss why his recruitment may be unlike any running back prospect we’ve seen before. After diving into recruiting and NIL, we shift gears to the newly released EA SPORTS College Football 27 player ratings. We take a look at where the Buckeyes stack up against other national title contenders and Heisman hopefuls. Cardale also shares what it was like seeing himself in the game during his playing days—and tells the hilarious story of what really happened when he faced off against a young fan in a hospital gaming showdown. To close out the show, we look around the sports world as several Buckeyes make headlines. We discuss Ohio State’s representation in the MLB All-Star Game, Bruce Thornton’s next step in Houston, and give a well-deserved shoutout to Kelsey Mitchell for earning a starting spot in the WNBA All-Star Game.

    Ohio State Recruiting Camp, Jett Harrison, Top QBs. Bo Jackson Snubbed by ESPN, Dusty May Gone
    Jun 23 2026
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes are back with another loaded show. Dave returns from Seattle just in time to celebrate Team USA advancing to the knockout stage of the FIFA World Cup, and we find out that both Cardale and Beanie are fully on board the USA soccer bandwagon. After talking fútbol, the conversation shifts back to football as Ohio State welcomed several elite recruits to Columbus last weekend, including some of the top quarterbacks and prospects in the country. We break down the biggest visitors, who stood out the most, and what it could mean for the Buckeyes’ future, including discussions on Jett Harrison and Brady Edmunds. Presented by Buckeye Basement Solutions, the guys react to Ryan Day’s recent comments about Ohio State needing to improve in fourth-quarter situations. Cardale and Beanie share their perspective on what it takes to finish games and how the Buckeyes can be better in crunch time this season. Later, the crew debates whether Bo Jackson was snubbed after ESPN left him out of its top 10 running backs list. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments if Bo belongs among the game's great backs. Then, thanks to KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we revisit Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby and discuss whether he has what it takes to hear his name called in the NFL Supplemental Draft. Plus, why this could be the most exciting time for Ohio State men’s basketball in years, and what exactly is going on with former Cincinnati Bengals star cornerback Sauce Gardner?

  • Ohio State All-Americans, Sayin Snubbed? Cardale & Beanie Glory Days Stories, Browns Tank?

    Ohio State All-Americans, Sayin Snubbed? Cardale & Beanie Glory Days Stories, Browns Tank?
    Jun 17 2026
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off by breaking down Phil Steele’s Preseason All-American teams, where six Buckeyes earned recognition. Who made the cut, who got snubbed, and should Julian Sayin be ranked even higher? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. The conversation then turns to one of Cardale’s favorite debates: should he have three national championship rings instead of one? It’s a discussion the guys have had plenty of times off-camera, and this time they’re bringing it to the show. Agree or disagree, you won’t want to miss this one. Thanks to our friends at KEMBA Financial Credit Union, we also dive into the latest Ohio State recruiting news. Which top prospects are trending toward Columbus, and in today’s NIL era, can any recruit truly be considered a lock? Later, the guys check in on Ohio’s NFL teams, where the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback situation remains as complicated as ever. With Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders reportedly splitting reps, Cardale and Beanie discuss what the Browns should do moving forward. Thanks to Buckeye Basement Solutions, we ask the big question: Watson, Shedeur, or tank for Julian Sayin? The show also celebrates Ryan Day after his induction into the New Hampshire Sports Hall of Fame. That leads to a fun conversation about coaching, leadership, and whether it’s easier for players to take direction from someone who’s been in their shoes. To close things out, Cardale and Beanie take a trip down memory lane, sharing some legendary high school football stories from their playing days that you won’t hear anywhere else.
