tOSU Recruiting Discussion

I think it will be more than just the schools own development system, it will be a continuation (because it's already happening) and evolution of the smaller feeder schools acting/becoming a minor league system for the bigger schools.

Just using logic, I don't see how some version of a minor league system doesn't emerge from this current set up. No clue on exact timing or exact structure but directionally it almost has to happen.
Agreed, something will have to give with OTs especially hitting higher and higher 7 figure deals for an unproven 17 or 18yo.

From what I've seen and heard from parents, coaches and even some players; schools are already starting to fall in line to a minor league system. I've posted a few times on various threads that journalists are already reporting that unless you're a highly ranked HS recruit, many of the elite P4 teams won't even look your way. Why would they risk getting a 3star player, who could transfer in a year and waste any development effort you put forth. When you can land an upperclassmen transfer who's already been in college for several years and is further along in his development and could offer college level play from day 1

Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

DeLauter went 4-4 last night in a win over the A's, which doesn't even have a name beyond the Athletics. Weird.

He's got such easy and smooth power, can't remember the last bat that looked like that for us.

Bazzana has had some good contact but has a good eye, gets on base, and is 1,000x better than Brito defensively.

Hopefully Ingles is up soon....Bo has looked beyond helpless. The ABS challenges are showing him in an even poorer light.

We'll see. The devil will be in the details. Does this mean that they'll fund all sports at a level to be competitive: bring our dead last in the B1G hockey budget at least to the league median, build the women's arena and so on.

Or does it mean that they'll half ass sports that they secretly want to axe and then say they had no choice because they weren't competitive.

Hopefully the latter.

This model is not sustainable with 36 varsity sports.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)


Sayin goes Number 1, but Manning lands with the Brookpark Browns. Please let this happen!!!
Your fingers to the football gods ears! Perfect scenario in my book.

Lane Kiffin (HC LSU)

yeah you did, you just overlook it when he's wearing your colors.

I mean Urban Meyer was a complete shitbag
Urban went 83-9 (54-4) won a natty, 3 B1G titles, won the B1G East 7 times and never lost to TTUN and was still soft-fired/asked to resign. I don't think many buckeyes overlooked it after it was said and done.

NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

Don’t think it’s possible to have a worse half of professional basketball than what the Magic put together in the 2nd half. A close out game. At home too.

19 points. Nineteen.

24 minutes of basketball with 24 second shot clock.

Think they may have set the record for most missed shots in a row, in any game. Or were 1 shot short.
I think the Hawks have an argument from last night :lol:

2027 CA WR Blake Wong (Verbal Offer)

He's pretty underrated imo, reminds me of another borderline 4 star WR we got from Cali who's last name rhymes with suave. Not just those two attributes, but his seamlessness in and out of routes, polish and build. WANT.
