2028 OH DL Asa Burch (Verbal Offer)

Looking at this guy's list, does anyone else wonder about why a 'lesser' team would offer him after many of the blue bloods already have? Maybe a phone call or two to guage interest, but making a big deal about giving him an offer, knowing there's a couple dozen schools already offered that would be more prestigious picks? Maybe if a legacy recruit....?

Asa’s father is on Harding’s coaching staff. The more schools that recruit his son, the more opportunities that his teammates will have to also get recruited. Similar to what Coach Ted Ginn Sr. does at Cleveland Glenville. The more attention that their blue chippers get, the more chances that the other Tarblooders will have to get noticed.

As of this moment, eight Harding players have a combined total of 63 offers. With today being June 15, both of those numbers are likely to increase as more ‘28 recruits will start getting the green light.

In fact, when Harding had their College Showcase back on May 6, other schools throughout the Mahoning Valley scheduled their’s around Harding’s because they knew that Asa would help enhance the number of eyes in the area. Austintown Fitch OL Anthony Blalock also aided in that regard. He’s a monster!

FWIW, here’s a pic of a few of Harding’s players at Ohio State’s camp last week.

FWIW, Coach Richardson was Clarett’s running backs coach at Harding in the early 2000’s.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

I don't think Tunisia understands Goal Differential and tournament play (especially for the opening match).

If you're down 3-1 you might want to close up shop and not leak anymore goals. Then you lose 5-1 and now it's a (-4) goal differential.

Pretty sure any team that loses their opening match by 4+ goals have less than five percent chance of advancing (it might be less than 3 percent).

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Remember when Larry Bird was commenting on the Celtics championship match-up with the Lakers. He said that the series wouldn't hinge on his match-up with Magic, but the 4th and 5th players on each teams matching up. Point being is that believe tOSU will match up pretty well one thru three, but maybe the fourth and fifth players might not carry their weight. Don't know, hard to tell. Hopefully they rise to the occasion, and the basketball team shows out this year.
The bench killed us last year. If we dint find depth this year it'll be the same result.
