2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Any combo of those 3 would be massive, but I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility at all. I'd be equally excited to land any of them, but Easter would just go off in our offense alongside Jamier. That's explosive on another level.
I the new recruiting strategy of smaller HS classes, but go after the big fish and guys willing to stay for 2-3yrs but willing to take less for possible development will allow for OSU to land 3 guys like this. Theres going to be a handful of guys a class where OSU will stay in it until the end for

NHL (Official Thread)

John Cooper wins the Adams. LOL, this is a joke. Cooper has a team loaded with elite talent that is a perennial playoff team (with 4 straight 1st round exits, BTW), who had a very typical Tampa season. Lindy Ruff leads a team that has been a joke for a decade and a half to 50 wins and gets them to game 7 of the second round. Cooper did a better job? I'd love to hear the reasoning for this because there is none whatsoever.
They were in a hurry to get to their other jobs of voting for the Biletnikoff and B1G COY.

Los Angeles Angels (2002 World Series Champions)

Ball bonks off Angels OF Adell's head, over fence for home run

Login to view embedded media
Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell made headlines in April when he robbed three home runs in one game. On Tuesday night at Angel Stadium, he gave one back.

In a play he would probably like to forget, Adell raced toward the right-field wall to track down a fly ball off TJ Rumfield's bat in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies.

Adell appeared to get under the ball for an easy out, but in a flashback to the infamous Jose Canseco play from May 1993, the ball nicked off his glove, then bounced off his head and over the fence for a solo home run.

"It's one of those things where how it happened looks crazy," said Adell, who went 0-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts. "It looks like I've never played in the field before, which is disappointing, because it's beyond the truth, but it is what it is. I'm the only one that really knows what happened. I was out there, and it happened to me, so it is what it is. I've got to just keep going, and as a team, we've got to keep going."

The play bore an eerie resemblance to Canseco's defensive blunder from 33 years ago, which happened when he was a member of the Texas Rangers and also occurred at the right-field wall. The Rangers lost that game 7-6 to Cleveland.

Adell actually made a similar outfield gaffe against the Rangers on Aug. 9, 2020, his rookie season, when a fly ball bounced off his glove -- but not his head -- and went over the fence. The play did not go down as a homer, however; instead, Adell was charged with a rare four-base error.

Raise your hand if you have this no talent ass clown on your fantasy team

Chaz Coleman (DE Penn St., transfer to Tennessee)

I keep myself intentionally blind to most NIL things, because I reserve the things that erode my sanity to my wife and kid.....but can you really just take several million dollars from a school and then bail and just go get a different bag from somebody else? I really hope you can, because that makes Ohio State's NIL process that much more intelligent than the aTm and Miami's of the world.

It would all depend on the contract details I guess.

Maybe UT just treated it like the good old days, handed him a bag of cash with no paper trail and he just said "Thanks!"?

Jordyn Adams (WR SMU)

SMU signs former MLB player Jordyn Adams to football scholarship: 26-year-old was a 5-star WR recruit in 2018

Adams was the No. 3 wide receiver recruit in 2018, according to 247Sports, ranking directly behind future NFL star Amon-Ra St. Brown

Jordyn Adams spent the better part of eight years pursuing one sports dream. Now, he's returning to another. The former five-star football recruit and first-round MLB Draft pick has enrolled at SMU and plans to join the Mustangs football program, a source confirmed to CBS Sports.

Adams was once considered one of the country's premier high school athletes. A standout at Green Hope High School in Cary, North Carolina, he finished his prep career ranked as the No. 3 wide receiver in the 2018 class and the No. 14 overall prospect nationally. The only receivers ranked ahead of him were future NFL stars Amon-Ra St. Brown and Ja'Marr Chase.

Adams signed with North Carolina and intended to play both football and baseball. But those plans changed when the Los Angeles Angels selected him with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft and signed him away from college on a deal worth more than $3 million.

The decision launched a professional baseball career that stretched from 2018 until just two weeks ago, when he last appeared in a game on May 20 with Triple-A Nashville Sounds. Adams climbed through the Angels' farm system before making his major league debut in 2023. He appeared in 17 games for Los Angeles that season and returned for 11 more games in 2024. After departing the Angels organization, he spent time with the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers organizations.

In total, Adams played 38 MLB games, collecting 13 hits, six runs scored, one home run and five RBIs. He spent the bulk of his career in the minor leagues, appearing in 678 games and accumulating more than 2,400 at-bats while showcasing the athleticism that once made him one of the nation's top football recruits.

His baseball career came to a close last month after a brief stint in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Rather than continue pursuing another opportunity in professional baseball, Adams has elected to revisit the sport many believed could have carried him to a professional career as well.

How is Jordyn Adams still eligible to play college football?

As of now, he is, but the NCAA continues to debate significant eligibility changes. Last month, Division I leaders discussed an age-based "five-for-five" model that would give athletes five years to compete beginning immediately after high school graduation or their 19th birthday -- whichever comes first. If adopted, the proposal would dramatically alter the current system and could impact cases like Adams' in the future.

He never enrolled at North Carolina after signing with the Angels. Because Adams went directly into professional baseball and never played college football, his eligibility situation differs from that of a traditional college athlete.
