Re: the commissioner protecting the shield, I’d be astounded if Sorsby isn’t blackballed from the NFL, although likely silently behind the scenes to avoid a lawsuit. The NFL is probably the third most venal major entity in sports (behind FIFA and the IOC), but I don’t think they’ll take any risk on this guy.

He's not a good enough player to take a risk on.

OC/WR Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF)

Skull Session: Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery Among ESPN’s Top NFL Draft Prospects in 2026, Brian Hartline Ranks the Top Five Wide Receivers He Coached at Ohio State

Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery are among ESPN's top NFL draft prospects in 2026, and Brian Hartline ranks his top five Ohio State wide receivers.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

BRIAN HARTLINE’S TOP FIVE. Last week, Brian Hartline appeared on Steve Smith’s 89 podcast, where he joined Smith and James Palmer to discuss his journey to becoming USF’s head coach, wide receiver non-negotiables, transparency in the NIL era, and his evaluation of Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Perhaps most interesting for Eleven Warriors readers was Smith’s list of the top 10 wide receivers Hartline coached at Ohio State, which we’ll examine below (Smith only ranked former Buckeyes, so Jeremiah Smith is not included):

  1. Marvin Harrison Jr.
  2. Garrett Wilson
  3. Chris Olave
  4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
  5. Emeka Egbuka
  6. Devin Smith
  7. Michael Thomas
  8. Parris Campbell
  9. K.J. Hill
  10. Terry McLaurin
Hartline told Steve Smith he didn’t coach Devin Smith or Michael Thomas, so Smith allowed him to swap those Buckeyes out of his list. Hartline then added Austin Mack and Jameson Williams instead, without revealing where they should land in Smith’s revised top 10.

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

I would say it is the deepest team they've had in a long time. The 2012 team that made the Final Four was tough, I'm skeptical that these guys will be on that level. The only question-marks are physicality and efficiency. The past great teams they had, there was always at least one guy who performed at a professional level & while they have elite talent, they need these 5-stars to come in and live up to the hype.

We are pretty set at the guards. The thing that's going to determine how good they can be is the bigs staying healthy and performing at a good enough level.

Bynum taking a decently big step forward would be massive.

Josh O has to stay healthy and perform good enough.

2028 FL WR Brysen Wright (Verbal Offer)

pnuts34
Per 11w poster:
Brysen Wright’s father with an encouraging interview today saying they’re looking for proof of concept over anything else, a school who’s shown they can handle and develop a player of his caliber. A school that has a plan for his son and puts WRs high in the draft.

Said Ohio State and Miami are currently standing out because they are the schools that have been doing that.

Said NIL is the least of their family’s concern because Wright is the best player in the class so every school will be around the same number NIL wise. They’re looking for relationships, development and a place where he will be held accountable and be better than the last time he saw him.

A quote that stood out to me, his dad said they have a window to commit but it won’t be too soon or too late, he said his son really wants to win a championship so they want to see how the season goes for teams because a team can go 12-0 one year and 4-8 the next year.

To me that quote is certainly directed at Miami who made the playoffs for the first time in the playoff era.

Concussions, CTE, and other traumatic brain injuries in football

Family of Aldon Smith having his brain checked for CTE​

The family of Aldon Smith has decided to send his brain to medical experts in Boston to see whether chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) played a role in the former NFL defensive lineman's death.

Smith died Saturday at the age of 36, hours after he had delivered pizzas to a homeless charity.

No cause of death has been given. Smith's family has hired attorneys to help investigate his death.

"As with anyone who dies so suddenly at such a young age, we understand that there is a great deal of interest in and speculation about Aldon Smith's passing and we intend to get to the bottom of it," attorneys Harry Daniels, Bakari Sellers and Wayne Kendall said Tuesday in a statement. "To that end, we have taken a number of steps including sending his brain to Boston where medical experts will examine it for CTE as well as other damage caused by years of concussions and additional trauma.

"In the meantime, we simply ask you to keep Aldon's family in our prayers and respect their privacy as they struggle to come to grips with this terrible loss."

Re: In 2015, the NFL concussion lawsuit was settled, and the terms included:
  • Compensation: Players may receive up to $5 million based on the severity of their diagnosed conditions.
Just sayin': With the lawyers involved I'm guessing that they want to find out if they would be eligible for some compensation (i.e. money) from the NFL Concussion class action lawsuit settlement.

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Brown did not name the schools that tried to use this tactic to entice him, although he should have. That's an incredibly unethical way to land a recruit. Not only is that degrading to the women who are being offered up, but it's degrading to Brown to think that he would be swayed by such a tactic.

Obviously, Brown turned down those offers. He has stayed loyal to the Ohio State Buckeyes for a year and a half at this point. It doesn't look like any school has a chance to flip him. He's an Ohio kid, and he knows how well the Buckeyes do developing receivers, even without Hartline on staff.

A kid like Brown should keep an old guy like me on payroll to be the buffer against all that degrading stuff.

A degradation consultant if you will.

2027 OH DB Monsanna Torbert (Indiana Decommit)

Ohio State can remind Kyle Whittingham who owns the Big Ten by landing 4-star CB

Another massive recruiting weekend is on the way for Ohio State and Ryan Day, as there are several key targets traveling to Columbus for an official visit. On t

Ohio State can remind Kyle Whittingham who owns the Big Ten by landing 4-star CB​

Will the Buckeyes be able to land the touted playmaker?

Ohio State is hoping to land 4-star CB Monsanna Torbert over Michigan and others​

As we've said time and time again, Day is never going to want to let elite in-state talent leave home. With the drive from Cincinnati to Columbus being around 90 minutes, compared to almost four hours to Ann Arbor, you've got to figure that'd give Ohio State a bit of an advantage here. Day can sell the youngster on playing close to home, with family and friends being able to watch him in action much easier.

As for Michigan, it's looking to work some magic here too, as the 5-10, 160-pounder is set to take his official visit to the UM campus on June 19. Back-to-back weekends at Ohio State and Michigan sure makes this recruiting race a bit more intriguing.

At one point, Torbert was Indiana-bound, giving Curt Cignetti his verbal pledge. However, the Ohio product decided to open up his recruitment, which was obviously welcomed news for OSU fans. Now, the Buckeyes are upping their efforts in trying to land him this time around, though Michigan and others are hoping to make things difficult.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Torbert is ranked four stars, the No. 13 cornerback in the country, No. 5 player out of Ohio, and No. 102 prospect nationally for the 2027 class. He currently holds 34 offers to his name, which speaks to how highly touted of a playmaker he is. This is of course all something Day knows and understands.

Thus far for the '27 haul, Ohio State is up to 13 commits, highlighted of course by 5-star EDGE DJ Jacobs and 5-star wide receiver Jamier Brown. Interestingly enough, there are no cornerbacks on the list yet, which is why the Buckeyes are making Torbert a top priority moving forward. For his official visit, Day is going to have to turn his head in the best way possible.

This is something Whittingham will look to do next weekend too, as he knows there's going to be extra pressure to match what Ohio State gets done. We'll give credit to Whittingham, as he's been on fire landing commits for the Wolverines. However, Day and Co. can serve him up some humble pie by getting things over the line with Torbert. Should that happen, it will be a key reminder for Michigan that Ohio State still has a bit of power over them both on and off the field.
