Best WR to ever play here (and yes, I saw Cris Carter play).  And we get another year. Blessed.

Just in watching his The Game highlights. They could not hold him if we went to him more often. What could have been? Or is it... What will be?

Anyone know where I can find a legit Route Man Marv jersey or if one will be available next year?  He's not listed on Ohio State Team shop.

You're killin' me, smalls!!!

I saw both Carter and Harrison and it's damn close but Carter did it all. I don't like comparing buckeyes because you usually have to run down one.

The fact that he actually has 12 spectacular catches says it all.

Merry Christmas everyone!

With all due respect to the kid from TN who caught go/post routes all year, but Marv is the best receiver in college football and it’s not particularly close between him and whoever is second.  Dude is a stud.

If he produces next season like he did this season, he will be bringing that trophy home to Columbus..no doubt in my mind!

Not if he transfers to USC.  Our boosters better get ready to open up the checkbooks.

Wishful thinking on your part.

What indication do you have that says he will transfer?

Agreed. No way to understand how Marvin does not sweep all awards in CF. I feel honored being able to witness this level of greatness.

I gotta put Terry Glenn in the same sentence as Carter and Harrison. Harrison gets a leg up for prototypical NFL size and catch radius.

Agree. It’s these 3 in their own category. Then a big gap to the rest.

David Boston? His1998 season and entire OSU career are in another stratosphere compared with Carter. Dude was 6'1" 215 and ran a 4.47 40 at the combine. Clearly their NFL careers diverged in the opposite direction after he hulked up on the hGH, but he also showed promise in 2001 when he caught 98 balls for 1,598.

Can we get a comparison of Marv vs each WR ranked ahead of him in his class coming out of high school?

No need to embarrass those kids.

So, quick look and Egbuka was #1. 

4 Alabama recruits ahead of MHJ. Yes, 4. 3 have transferred already and Ja’Corey Brooks, who had 37 catches for 623 yards and 7 TDs.

Yes, recruiting rankings matter, but we make way too much of them

I'm not sure you can find a bigger fan of MHJ in all of Buckeye Nation than Klatt. Hell, I'm not sure you can find a bigger fan than Klatt in the Harrison family. I've wondered all year why they've never show SR during the games. I know he's been there.

David Boston belongs on any list of TOSU great receivers.  I’ll never forget his electric shake after the game-winning catch at the Rose Bowl!!!

I am hoping beyond hope that we get to see another year of him in scarlet and gray.

After seeing the one footed catch, I was sure he popped some ligaments or tendons in his knee.

This is the magic we will need vs GA Saturday night Let it fly, CJ, and trust Route Man Marv to make the highlight reel!

12 of 12 were great catches that can’t be argued. I found myself thinking on atleast 9 maybe 10 of them that the pass itself was in a place only so many qb’s could put it consistently. Those are the things that get lost on us til it’s gone.
