Before he changed his throwing motion and spooked people. He is between 6’1” and 6’2” - so he lacks elite size. But - at this same point in time Joe B was considered a permanent bench warmer at OSU with zero hope of ever playing. He was 280th ranked with zero p5 offers other than OSU and was clearly recruited to be a low ranked guy that would stick around and maybe be used due to injuries.

His size, arm strength and then coaching changed what happened with him - but let’s not act like coming in he was viewed as anything worth a shit. By comparison, Pyne was much more highly recruited and was 55 spots higher ranked and then this new kid is off the charts more highly regarded coming in.
