Former Ohio State basketball player’s uncle may have just leaked LeBron James’ free agent decision, and there’s reason to believe the smoke

Meechie Johnson Jr. recently played at Ohio State and does have a connection to LeBron James, who is the talk of the NBA right now. Did the Johnson family potentially leave the news of where James will be signing?

Sonny Johnson’s connection to LeBron James and Ohio State​

Sonny Johnson, the high school basketball coach at Garfield Heights High School in Cleveland, grew up with James. Johnson is also the uncle of Meechie Johnson Jr., who played at Ohio State on two separate occasions. The elder Johnson recently hinted that James could be headed back to Cleveland, and his proximity to the James family makes the comment worth paying attention to.

Meechie Johnson has been open about James being like an uncle to him, so the families share a legit connection. You wouldn’t think Sonny Johnson would put this kind of rumor out there and risk upsetting folks around the Cleveland area unless he has a good feeling about LeBron’s plans.

Cannot argue. Recollect that against Uconn, Jacy & Co made UConn turn the ball over 20 times. PS, that is where Dorkas transferred to, and had Paige Bueckers now on Dallas, and Azizi Fudd, also on Dallas WNBA team. All three now in WNBA. As much as pains me to say, McDuff's game plan worked. But now (and to the point), there is an option to go big with some talented players, as well as small, to play press.

All things considered, probably fair. Deserves some time for a reckless decision but he will feel his real punishment the rest of his life no matter what - the loss of his girlfriend.

I hope this is not something that derails his life and he’s able to find some peace and good doing in his future.

BATON ROUGE - A former Istrouma High and Texas A&M running back was arrested for cruelty to juveniles after his 2-year-old son accidently shot himself, arrest documents say.

Leveon Moss, 23, of Baton Rouge, took his son to Our Lady of the Lake's Children Hospital with a gunshot wound Monday night, the Baton Rouge Police Department said. The shooting happened at his South Flannery Road apartment.

Moss told officials that he was asleep with his son in his bed, where his son got ahold of a gun he kept underneath his pillow. His son accidentally fired a single shot.

The affidavit said "due to Moss’ negligence, a child under the age of seventeen suffered unjustifiable pain." He was arrested Monday. Moss played for Texas A&M for four years before signing with the Miami Dolphins after going undrafted. He retired before playing in the NFL.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Jet Greaves seeks $7.5 million. Will the Columbus Blue Jackets blink?​

Jet Greaves is a restricted free agent (RFA) without an active contract, as his previous two-year, $1.625 million deal expired at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Greaves are scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing in Toronto to determine his contract.

The two sides filed significantly different figures in their briefs: the Blue Jackets filed for a $2.8 million salary, while Greaves' camp requested $7.5 million. Columbus selected a one-year term for the contract ruling. If the two sides do not negotiate a settlement prior to the hearing, the arbitrator will rule on the player's salary.

Time is ticking for the Blue Jackets and Jet Greaves to find common ground before an arbitration hearing July 23 decides the goalie’s salary for the upcoming season.

Blue Jackets Monday Gathering: Latest on Fantilli, Greaves and Sillinger contracts

It's getting late in the summer to still have three players unsigned, but that's where Columbus stands its two forwards and goaltender.

Blue Jackets Monday Gathering: Latest on Fantilli, Greaves and Sillinger contracts​

Jet Greaves​

We’re listing Greaves first because he’s the most pressing matter. His arbitration hearing is set for Thursday in Toronto.

The Blue Jackets and Greaves can avoid that hearing by reaching terms on a new contract any time between now and the point at which the arbitrator begins deliberating after hearing both sides’ arguments.

If arbitration is necessary, Greaves will have a new contract by Saturday, as the ruling is due 48 hours after the hearing. (Yes, one way or another, one of the unsigned Blue Jackets will be under contract at this point next week.)

The Blue Jackets have the right to suggest a one- or two-year ruling, but will seek a one-year contract so that Greaves isn’t walked directly into unrestricted free agency after the 2027-28 season.

Goaltenders are notoriously tough to value, and you could understand strong arguments on both sides of the table.

Greaves had a very good season in 2025-26, his first full NHL campaign. By some metrics, he was a top-10 goaltender in the league. No question, he’s now the Blue Jackets’ No. 1 option in net. Those guys get paid.

However, he’s had only one strong season in the NHL. Greaves, 25, wasn’t a starter until this season, and some aren’t yet ready to stamp him as an NHL-level No. 1.

Adam Fantilli​

Leo Carlsson, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft, signed a five-year, $90 million offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers that the Anaheim Ducks opted to match earlier this month.

Connor Bedard, the No. 1 pick in that draft, signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.

Next up: Fantilli, the Blue Jackets’ No. 3 pick that year.

If Carlsson’s offer sheet threatened to “blow up” the market for young RFAs, perhaps Bedard’s — at a far lesser value despite significantly better production than Carlsson — might tilt it back the other direction.

At minimum, it could help set the parameters of a deal between the Blue Jackets and Fantilli, who is four years away from UFA status.

Cole Sillinger

Like Greaves, Sillinger filed for arbitration earlier this month. His hearing is set for next Monday (July 27) in Toronto.
