2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

Thought most bball floors were removable, in as much as could host rock shows, ice hockey or whatever. And those floors are springy, as floor sits on on edge 2/4s. Grew up on blacktop bball courts, and can vouch they are NOT springy. And hurt when you fall down. I was going to say "watch out for the net", but the above super-imposed pic shows me that net was removed. Should be a cool show. To bad they didn't have an aircraft carrier to play on. Go Bucks!

WR Mylan Graham (National Champion, transfer to Notre Dame)

Well, maybe a fresh start at a different place will work out for him. Good for him, until the Domers face the Buckeyes in the playoffs. My Dad was a ND and SC hater, and guess it was passed down to me. He gave me a ND/tOSU poster with Eddie running free for a TD, and had it framed, and is on my garage wall, where I can see it every damn day. Go Bucks!

PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader, Houston Rockets)

Was wondering if anyone else saw the Summer League game. Vignettes of Bruce putting up some points. I didn't identify him right away, and then poof was gone. Looked like he was draining 3's, and driving the rack for a couple 'and-ones'. Love to see it. Also noted he wasn't the PG, more like the shooting guard. Proved he has the range, and wasn't afraid to drive the paint and go against the big boys. From the snippets, he looked very very good.

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

I get what he's trying to do. But until the coaches are held to the same standard, the rule would be BS
Most coaches don’t transfer more than once so yeah I agree with this.

Everyone should have 5 years and 1 transfer.

Would give some god damn meaning to the original commitment. I’m tired of seeing kids go to a school and then transfer after 1 year to go to the next highest bidder.

We are one step away from collective bargaining (contracts) and I’m here for that.

Favorite Movie Scenes

My mother and my aunt love to go late night bowling. They took us along as sort of a cover so my dad wouldn't think they were hanging out in the lounge. They'd dump us off at the theater and then go "bowling for a few hours. It was all good, loved going to late movies with the adults, especially when they were rated R. I also saw Close Encounters and The In-Laws in that same theater.

DL Darryus McKinley (Official Thread)

Better Know a Buckeye: Darryus McKinley’s Speed and Strength on the Edge Could Allow Him to Be Versatile Defensive End for Ohio State

Depth Chart Outlook​

With a loaded group of defensive ends in 2026, including Kenyatta Jackson Jr., Beau Atkinson, Zion Grady, Epi Sitanilei, Alabama transfer Qua Russaw and fellow freshmen Khary Wilder and Dre Quinn, McKinley isn’t likely to see much playing time in year one.

How McKinley develops over the course of his first couple of years in Columbus will determine whether he ultimately earns his way onto the defensive line two-deep in 2027 or 2028.

Not trying to degrade anyone here but Atkinson is just a name on the roster until he shows he’s anything beyond that. In no way am I trying to put words in anyone’s mouth but I don’t understand why it’s some foregone conclusion that he’s a lock for the rotation.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but he didn’t stand out at all to me against high level competition.

2028 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

It's easier to climb the mountain than to stay atop of it, when all others are trying to knock you off the top.
Thats my sentiment regarding IU. It’s more fun to be the hunter than the hunted. How will IU act when they are the hunted and can no longer sneak up on teams.
On top of the money and Shark Tank, Cignetti is clearly an elite coach that proved. He can out coach Day.

Ducks behind couch**
No need to duck, Day got beat. But his kicker did him no favors. This season will show a lot about Cignetti imo
