Don't really need to. Lautar showed how it should be done basically got a 5 star at basement bargain

Lauter is that good?

MrBuck24 1 hour ago
The staff is very high on Lautar. I think he's better than the staff even expected.

Yep. Monster. Like Birm said, in the last 10 years he's probably the biggest surprise player they've brought in with what they thought they were getting and what they actually got. Kid just works his butt off. He's going to be so good

Fessler visited with QB Dane Weber today. And is supposed to be back on Wednesday.
If I were a betting man, I would say that on that visit he will get an offer and an OV set up and will announce he will push his commitment date back.

2027 OH DB Monsana Torbert (Indiana Decommit)

Monsanna Torbert has Decommitted from Indiana
Think this means he's almost certainly going to end up at Ohio State

KYBuck4858 22 hours ago
No not guaranteed. Marcus Freeman and ND are all over him too. I would say it’s safe to say we have a slight lead though. Him and his brother love OSU.
OV set up to OSU for 6/5, Michigan 6/12, and ND 6/19.

2027 FL DB Jaden Carey (Verbal Offer)

Keep an eye on Wyatt Smith’s teammate CB Jaden Carey. Been in Walt’s board forever. Both guys OV on 6/5. And Miami just flipped their second top50 CB this cycle, so we could win out here.

CB was not expected to be a high budget position this cycle. But then all of a sudden we have a ton of great options, so don’t need to reach.

2027 OH TE D'Angelo White (Louisville Verbal)

11W Forums

KYBuck4858 17 May 2026, 6:05 am
Interesting visit happened this week. Bailey went up to go see Louisville TE commit D’Angelo White. He also visited OSU this spring too.

If I had to guess, if anything were to happen here, it wouldn’t be until the fall. Vince Marrow is Louisville’s GM. You might remember him from his UK days and recruiting OH hard. He made reckless investments ($) in guys from OH in the past that made no sense. With White randomly committing out of nowhere in Jan, I can see where Marrow promised him a ton. Maybe he backs out on that later.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Certainly not as learned as most, but would seem to be easier to go up a level, than go down a weight class. Even in a weight class, this is the time of life when a body grows, gains size/weight etc naturally. Certainly as one does weight training, pounds are added, and if memory serves, adding a pound of muscle requires losing, what, eight pounds of fat? Am sure others have better numbs, but can only lose so many pounds of fat, no?
It definitely is easier to go up and wrestling closer to your natural weight is trending in a good way. Unfortunately sometimes the cut is necessary when roster openings dictate it. I had to cut a lot until my senior year because I had a roster of future All Americans to beat out for a starting spot. But my senior year I wrestled 152 and was destroying kids because of all the energy and strength I had.

PGA Tour (Official Thread)

It's Phily, you know what you're going to get...I was actually pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a lot worse than it was in the coverage I saw. I thought the crowd was actually much more well-behaved than the nicest weekend crowd at that mess of a tournament in Phoenix every year. Rory usually lets a lot of crap go, so if he felt the need to clap back, it was probably egregious. But there wasn't nearly as much of that as I was afraid there might be.
I actually don’t think it was objectively egregious as it wasn’t obscene or personal or done pre- or during Rory’s swing, but it was right after Rory lost any shot at winning so it was a bit classless. At another time, I’m sure Rory would have ignored him per usual, but he caught him at a moment of peak frustration. The Waste Management crowd lives up to the name of the tournament, and somehow it’s become their signature there kind of like Bills fans jumping through tables in terms of idiotic douchiness.

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

The kids are starting to show their stuff. Heck, Bazzana is up to .290 for his batting average and I think he started like 0 for 12.

I didn't realize he was so fast and a demon on the base paths. The lineup is actually balanced and can set the table (also love that they moved JRam up to the 2 hole....if Kwan and Rocchio keep doing what they're doing, watch out).

Also saw Ralphy Velazquez made it to Columbus at 20 years old. Boy, he could be the 40 HR bat we need in the lineup. Clippers lineup is so insanely loaded with Watson, Ralphy, Ingle, Huff, Kayfus, etc...probably the most encouraging the current and future offensive production has looked in a looong, long time.

With Armstrong and Walters set to get back to the pen, this team can somehow get a nice division lead early....didn't see that coming but I say that every year it seems.

2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

It seems Edmunds is still saying the right things. Could be a ploy for more $, dunno. But from my experience in life, if there's smoke, then there's fire. Totally get the kid protecting himself from 'the talk'. We read about the recruit signing with someone else late in the game, but not as much about the school telling the kid there's no room in the inn for him when it's too late to find another place. Writers talk about the glitz and glamor of recruiting, but there's an ugly underside as well.
I don't think Edmunds has the leverage to pull such a ploy. I feel like if he were to do that, they would tell him to hit the road. The way they're pursuing other QBs it seems like they're content settling for him in the class but they want someone else

Texas Tech Red Raiders (official thread)

NCAA is trying to do what's right. TT and their booster are the ones taking it to court.
Oh I agree but no faith they’ll stand their ground in the face of pressure from boosters, universities, or the conference.

Just never know. There was a team that essentially fixed football games for 2.5 years and they got nothing. Then there was a team with an ineligible player and they vacated wins lol

No one knows what’s real with the NCAA

People to Punch, Pet Peeves, and General Vexations (mega-merge)

No violation, just maybe don't twist/dislocate your ankle requiring 4 surgeries and an erector set cage to be screwed into your leg and foot. It doesn't feel good.
On the plus side, 3 surgeries down, and I get to go home for a while today.
A year ago I was a split second away from jumping off of a container four feet off of the ground as if I was still 18. Luckily I suddenly remembered that I'm no longer 18.

Professional Tennis (official thread)

One of the top-5 matches I’ve ever seen.

I remember waking up early in Vegas to watch the Borg-McEnroe Wimbledon Final in 1980, which had an epic 18-16 tiebreaker won by McEnroe in the 4th set. Borg then won the final set 8-6 since they didn’t play final set tiebreakers back then. It was also a high quality match, with guys hitting winners on most of the critical points.

The classics:

Borg over McEnroe 8-6 in the 5th at the Wimbledon Final in 1980 with the 18-16 4th set tiebreak;
Nadal over Federer 9-7 in the 5th set at the Wimbledon Final in 2007;
Djokovic over Nadal 7-5 in the 5th set at the Aussie Final in 2012 (longest major final at 5h 53 min);
Djokovic over Federer 13-12, a 5th set breaker after Fed was up 8-7, 40-15 with 2 pts on his serve 2019 Wimb Final;
Alcaraz over Sinner 7-6 in the 5th set, 2025 French Final after Alcatraz saved 3 match points at 3-5 0-40 in the 4th set.

Honorable mention:

Federer over Nadal 6-3 in the 5th at the 2017 Aussie Final after being down 1-3 in the 5th set. Cuz I really wanted that win.
I'd add Sampras/Corretja at the US Open in 1996. Also Connors/Patrick McEnroe US Open 1991 that basically sent Pat to the broadcast booth.

And you can't tell me you don't have any Bill Tiden matches to add to that list. You were plenty old enough to appreciate what you were seeing then.
