The Early Signing brought an end to the recruiting journey of many high school athletes. However, for one, it was just another chapter in a never-ending saga. Legend Bey was supposed to join the Buckeyes, but out of nowhere, he signed with Tennessee. However, Ryan Day still has a chance to get the player.

“They have requested their letter of release from Tennessee, and they are waiting for Tennessee to confirm this,” recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman said on Rivals. “This could come as early as today or as late as tomorrow. This is in the works, Josh. You know what? Whether it was his mother or someone else who forged his signature, Tennessee received a signature on National Signing Day. They got the flip done at the buzzer.”

However, things are now becoming increasingly intense. As Legend Bey is planning to flip again to Ohio State, as this decision wasn’t his at all. Many reports suggest that his mother opposed his decision to sign with the Buckeyes. She allegedly forged his signature on Tennessee’s NLI.

“However, it does look like they are going to get out of this,” Spiegelman said. “This is going to be another flip potentially in the works for Legend Bey between Tennessee and what we’re assuming is Ohio State.”

What adds up to the notion even more is that this week, photos of Legend Bey wearing Ohio State’s gear surfaced on social media, which potentially raised red flags for Tennessee fans and staff. Watching a committed player wandering around with other teams’ gear is something that intensified the flip notion. Even his high school ceremony was decorated with scarlet and gray balloons, Buckeye banners, and framed pictures of Ohio State visits.

The confusion intensified further when a strange social media post appeared and then disappeared from Bey’s X account on December 4.

“Good Afternoon, I was just recently logged out of my IG (Instagram) and probably will be logged out of this Account as well by my older brother who has access to my account because, I won’t sign to the school him and my mother wants- Legend Bey.”

It’s still unclear whether Bey actually posted that message or if it was someone else. Because there are multiple posts of him celebrating his commitment to Tennessee.

Ryan Day might make a massive portal addition

With Legend Bey’s saga unfolding in Columbus, Ryan Day is making major transfer portal buzz around a Michigan State player. Now, who doesn’t want to join a playoff-contending team and a national championship-winning team? And that’s exactly why they can be perfect eye candy for players looking for a better option.

One such name is Michigan State wide receiver Nick Marsh.

“With Carnell Tate destined for the NFL Draft next year, the Buckeyes this season proved that without Tate and Jeremiah Smith in the lineup, they need to add a difference maker at wide receiver,” Miller said.

With Carnell Tate’s move, adding Marsh will make sense. As this guy’s production is turning heads at Michigan State. He recorded 59 receptions for 662 yards and six touchdowns. In his two years with the Spartans, he recorded 100 receptions for 1,311 yards and nine touchdowns. That production with Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin together can keep the Bucks’ offense rolling next season.
