Cal G Justin Pippen returning to Big Ten, commits to Ohio State​

Cal guard Justin Pippen is committing to Ohio State, his agents at WME Basketball told ESPN on Friday.

Pippen is a sophomore who is coming off a breakout season in Berkeley, as he averaged 14.2 points, 4.6 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game last season. He entered the NCAA transfer portal earlier this week.

Pippen is the son of NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen and played his high school basketball at Sierra Canyon in Los Angeles. His older brother is Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr.

Justin Pippen is expected to play a large role at Ohio State, as he is a combo guard who will be expected to fill a role similar to the one departing Buckeyes guard Devin Royal played.

Pippen will be the rare player to play on both sides of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry. Pippen played 28 games for Michigan in 2024-25 before transferring to Cal.

Pippen led Cal in assists and tied for second on the team in scoring average as the Bears reached the second round of the NIT.

Looks like they didn't give Larsa props for starring on several seasons of "Real Housewives of Miami" ...

ESPN: Indeed, the deal Miami gave five-star freshman Jackson Cantwell that reportedly approaches $2 million per year was another signal that the million-dollar standard is likely here to stay for highly recruited tackle prospects, regardless of how prepared they are to be day one starters.

Unfortunately they have to be game to be part of the game. There seems to be a difference between a 5 star and anything less than 5 star tackle.

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

Looks like there is going to be a big lean on JUCO players.

Scholvin unfortunately signed with the Twins

The only other transfer they have added is a 3B/SS from Incarnate Ward whose stats are not great. Guessing this was a last minute scramble plug in for Scholvin's spot to have an extra IF

Power Rank the wins in terms of difficulty for two championship level Ohio State teams (as it relates to playoffs):

2014 B1G Title against UW (effectively a playoff game)
2014 Sugar Bowl vs. Bama
2014 Title Game vs. Oregon
2024 vs. Tennessee (home)
2024 vs. Oregon (Rose)
2024 vs. Texas (Cotton)
2024 vs. ND (Title)

How accurate is this ranking. (Most difficult to easiest):

1). 2014 Sugar Bowl vs. Bama
2). 2024 vs. ND (Title)
3). 2024 vs. Texas (Cotton)
4). 2014 Title Game vs. Oregon
5). 2024 vs. Oregon (Rose)
6). 2024 vs. Tennessee (home)
7). 2014 B1G Title against UW (effectively a playoff game)

Trying to not be a homer:
1) 2024 Texas -they were a bad match up for the 2024 OSU team and could have easily won that game. The big plays and breaks went OSU's way
2) 2014 Bama-incredibly mediocre QB handicapped a great Bama team. All time RB that just didn't get the ball enough (Thanks Lane!) and they didn't take us seriously.
3) 2024 Oregon; That team was good, they just ran into a buzzsaw and were not a great match up (for them).
4) 2014 Wisky- they had the type of team that could beat OSU all year. OSU run D played at a previously unseen level and UW had no idea what Cardale Jones could do (not really their fault)
5-6-7 in any order 2014 Oregon, 2024 ND and 2024 UT were all physically over matched. Unforced OSU turnovers and or taking the foot off the gas made moments of those games appear closer than they were. Put a gun to my head the most physically outclassed opponent of them all was 2014 Oregon.
