The second Buckeye who made the list might also surprise you: Walk-on defensive back Brenten “Inky” Jones, who’s ranked 29th. Feldman wrote that Smith and former Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, who was ranked 10th on last year’s list, both stumped for Jones to be on the list – and his workout numbers this offseason backed that up. At 6-foot-2 and 216 pounds, Jones was clocked at 23.52 miles per hour with a 1.47-second 10-yard split this offseason, while he also broad jumped 11 feet, bench pressed 385 pounds and squatted 555.​

That's F'n sick. That kid has to have an expanded role just to see if any of that size, speed and strength translate to the field of play. I mean, he might get drafted based upon potential alone with those measurables.

And let's not forget, he passes the look test. He looks good getting off the bus. Father was probably a gym rat.

NCAA and FBI announce partnership to combat athlete sexploitation​

As college athletes become bigger targets for sexual exploitation online, the NCAA and FBI announced a partnership Monday to educate athletes on how to prevent private images from falling into the wrong hands.

Financial name, image and likeness deals have increased the online public presence of college athletes, making them desirable victims for criminals, an FBI cyber expert said during a media call.

"Student-athletes maintain large public-facing social media followings and in many cases expanded further by name, image and likeness activity," FBI cyber division Section Chief Taushiana Bright said. "That visibility increases both their exposure to targeting and the leverage an offender believes they hold when threatening to expose an athlete to a coach, team, school or sponsor."

Bad actors obtain private images of athletes by conning them and by hacking into personal accounts to steal content. Images and videos are then used to extort athletes under threat of having the images made public.

The FBI and NCAA are calling on coaches and athletic department leadership and compliance staff to help educate athletes about sexual exploitation, as "they may be the first trusted adults an athlete would turn to," the FBI said in a statement. Through the partnership, the organizations plan to educate athletes on how to prevent exploitation and give them access to law enforcement, specific tools to report possible criminal behavior, victim services and mental health treatment.

NCAA vice president of enforcement Jon Duncan said the NCAA "grieves the sexual exploitation of young men and young women, including college athletes."

"The criminal behaviors we talk about here, like stealing explicit images and using them for financial gain, are sickening," he said. "Tragic as those acts are, we know they occur and more often than anyone would like."

College athletes recently have been the subject of a number of alleged incidents involving stolen photos and data. Former Baltimore Ravens and University of Michigan assistant football coach Matt Weiss is the subject of an ongoing federal criminal case, facing two dozen counts of hacking and identity theft after he allegedly stole private videos and photos from more than 3,300 people, mostly female athletes, over an about eight-year period.

In 2022, court records revealed that at least two male athletes at Penn State had been the victims of sexual extortion by a woman who met one of them on a dating app. Videos included images of athletes undressing in the Penn State football locker room. The Penn State university police investigation found that the woman had done the same thing to athletes in several other states.....

I think the respect the coaches had for one another died when Carr moved on from scUM. RichRod came off as a pompous blowhard who was going to revolutionize football with his slot dots and spread wide offense.
cHoke took it to another level when he started the whole Ohio thing, and then the hatred was turned to 11, and Urban stoked those flames and loved every minute of it.

Yeah, you might be right.
November, 2006, Bo Schembechler (spelling?) passed away and we had a moment of silence in Ohio Stadium.
We might do the same for Lloyd Carr.
No way we do it for RRod, Hoke, Harbaugh, or whats-his-name.

There's definitely a different feel toward *ichigan lately. At least, for me. There was a respectful hatred for them for a long time. It was declining into a disrespectful hatred throughout the 2010's. Their ducking of their ass-beating may have finished it off. I don't think the cheating scandal affected it - the respect was already gone.

LFG peeps

Just picked up a new '26 Honda Pilot Elite trim and had a hard time finding it available in the color and interior I wanted. Heard similar things about limited production, dealer allotments, etc. Took a few weeks and ultimately found one just under an hour away. But, had to pay full sticker plus cost for a hitch and crossbars I had the dealer add. I wanted to consider the Grand Highlander and the Lexus TX but the lack of availability was frustrating and I couldn't get comfortable with a turbo 4-cylinder in that size vehicle. Hybrid was a bit more enticing but the mileage didn't seem to cover the premium cost. After a week of driving I'm really pleased with the selection.

Asher Ghioto will visit for the Oregon or Michigan game he says. Wiltfong has Ohio State way more in this one than people are giving us credit for.
I’d be pleasantly surprised if he’s a real option due to the money it would take to land him, but I’ve always said he’s absolutely an Ohio State type kid. He talks a lot about wanting to play for a faith based program and for a coach who will develop him not only into a future NFL player, but develop him as a man and prepare him for life after football.

Ghioto said Ohio State is absolutely a priority and at the top of his list, one of the schools he’s heavy on. Said he talks to LJ every day, Ryan Day as well and they’re doing an excellent job recruiting him. Said he can’t wait to get back to Ohio State for a game and chop it up with the GOAT.

Top 50 recruit in 2028 added for The Game.

tOSU has slipped ever since the 'what's his name' coach retired. Believe he was from Eastern Europe. Maybe he was the pipeline from Europe, where dueling scars etc are an more important part of life than American football.....But is this a Sears Cup sport?

Maybe so, but what's his arm length?

To me, doesn't look like he's carrying 290. If so, that would put the coach at around 325 or so.

Back in my day, there was one player, not good enough to play, that was utilized to use all five of their fouls to 'disrupt' the best player on the other team. Hatchet man, believe he was called. Not trying to hurt the player (?), but to bump, push, and otherwise disrupt their shots etc. Probably being mild as to what really happened. Appears like this has been carried forth in the WNBA. But if Sophie round houses a player, would believe it'd be a Flagrant 2.
