speaking of missing the mark....what is different about these kids and any other tax paying citizen? Anyone can leave for more money anytime they want to. This is America.

You down for having your profession regulated like that? By a governing body you have no say in?

Some arbitrary, self appointed governing body of whatever you do for a living tells you you can only change jobs 1 time in the next 5 years no matter what.

You good with that? So your employer and those like your employer can keep a stable roster of employees?

Because that's what this is.

I think you’re missing the mark here. Every professional sport (that’s what this is now) has contracts. Besides the kids could just sign 1 year contracts anyhow. At least you’d know what you’re dealing with.

For kids to be able to up and leave year to year for better pay is pretty ridiculous. I’d wager a good bit of money that schools would sign kids to 2+ year contracts at a minimum.

Re: Manuel signed a five-year extension in 2024 through June 2030 at more than $2 million a year. A buyout provision in his contract requires a severance of 36 months of pay unless the school and Manuel reach a settlement agreement.

Just sayin': Why would Manuel settle for anything less than $6M?

:lol:

Because their lawyers threaten to fire him for cause in which case he gets nothing and has to pay to litigate whatever he can get out of them.

$0 + low six figure legal bills out of pocket while unemployed = <$6MM settlement

If this kid doesn't look over and see how J Smith is rolling right now and want to be next, then we never had a real answer for him.

Contrast that with UT...who do they have to point to? What development story do they tell?

Cincinnati Bearcats (Juggalos official thread of Faygo)

ScriptOhio
Just sayin': Undoubtedly, the the (football) Buckeyes all time biggest win over the Juggalos. I remember the game well, I was there. The game went down to the wire too.

Remember When: The 2002 Ohio State Team Mounted a Comeback to Hold Off an Upset Bid in Cincinnati and Keep Their Title Hopes Alive​

Krenzel quickly went to work, completing passes to wideout Michael Jenkins for gains of 12 and 16 yards. Krenzel capped off the 10-play, 47-yard drive with a six-yard run into the end zone, alleviating the pressure off of the Buckeyes and pushing them back into the lead 23-19.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

With Ohio State back in the lead for the first time since early in the third quarter, the Buckeyes, once again, needed a spark from their defense.

Again, Cincinnati marched down the field, reaching the Ohio State 15-yard line with 48 seconds to play. Guidugli fired a trio of incompletions, including a pair of drops from Cincinnati receivers, before he was intercepted in the end zone, this time by Will Allen, to seal the win for the Buckeyes.

The come-from-behind victory over the Bearcats kept the Buckeyes on their national championship path, and it served as the first of several tight contests that would test their mettle.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

Ohio State gets solid update on 5-star recruit David Gabriel Georges​

Insider gives key insight on Ohio State's pursuit of David Gabriel Georges​

The insider gave a breakdown of where the battle stands between Ohio State and Tennessee for the five-star recruit.

Rivals insider Steve Wiltfong gave a positive update on Ohio State's chances of landing Gabriel Georges as the days dwindle on when he will make his commitment decision.

"But Ohio State, that's the program I think he grew up wanting to go to. He's been there four times. His best relationship is with Buckeyes running backs coach Carlos Locklyn. He was the first to offer him when he was at Oregon. I think him taking that job at Ohio State from Oregon shows David Gabriel Georges the magnitude of what Ohio State is when you stack it up against other programs in the country."

Wiltfong continued to give reasons why Gabriel Georges would want to suit up for the Buckeyes next season in Columbus.

"The way that they treat their starters and superstars long-term, they can point to that with the experience guys like Jeremiah Smith is currently having and how it's setting them up down the road. I've had a longstanding pick for Ohio State. I could easily see him at Tennessee. I just haven't been able to flip that pick because I think Ohio State still has a lot to say in this recruitment, and I think David Gabriel Georges could really see himself thriving at Ohio State."

Ohio State should feel confident about landing David Gabriel Georges​

Based on all of the facts and the intel, there is no reason why the Buckeyes shouldn't feel very confident that he will be on the roster next season. If Gabriel Georges wasn't playing high school football in the state of Tennessee, this wouldn't even be a question.

Ohio State's ability to prepare players for the NFL is what sets them apart from almost every other team in the country. DDG has seen that, and he clearly sees that as a strong draw. It wouldn't be shocking if he picked the Vols, but it would certainly sting.

Day and his staff will have to wait until July 22 to learn where he wants to be. Until then, all they can do is stay in constant contact with him.

2026 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Ohio State football prediction from Athlon Sports is what every Buckeye fan dreams of​

Ohio State football fans would sign up for this in a hurry.

This season, the Buckeyes return a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. In fact, they might be the best offense in the country. One major publication certainly thinks so. In fact, Athlon Sports gave their bowl predictions for this season, and they are very favorable to Ohio State.

Athlon Sports predicts an Ohio State national championship​

During their annual preview, Athlon Sports gave a prediction for every bowl game. In that prediction, they gave the Bucks the number one overall seed. They have them taking on eighth-seeded Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl. After that, they have the Buckeyes advancing to take on fourth-seeded Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.

It culminates in Ohio State beating second-seeded Georgia in the national championship game, which takes place in Las Vegas this season. Based on their seeding, Athlon has the Buckeyes beating TTUN, winning the Big Ten, and winning a second national title in three years.

That is a prediction of which every single Ohio State fan would sign up for. That would make this team the best Ohio State football team of all-time. That could end up being true, but the Buckeyes would have to go undefeated in order to achieve that goal. That's a tall order with their schedule.

Ohio State feels confident it can win it all​

Heading into this season, the Buckeyes are extremely confident that they can pull off this exact prediction. There is a very good chance they have the highest-scoring offense in the country next year with Julian Sayin throwing the ball to Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr.

Defensively, Matt Patricia returns to coach a talented but inexperienced unit. They will have to rely on several transfer portal players on all three levels of the defense. Still, Patricia coached up the defense to have the best statistical performance of any defense in the nation a year ago.

It seems the Buckeyes have finally cured their kicking problems, or so they hope. Missed kicks have plagued the team for the last few years, and they hope that issue is fixed. That, along with the offensive line, is the biggest question mark the team possesses heading into the Fall.

If those questions are answered, Ohio State could be in the market for a lot of wins next season. In fact, it could be that golden year Day has been searching for.
