TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Tennessee Verbal)

calibuck
Hopefully all the hand-wringing is all over and done, so tOSU juggernaut can continue on, focusing on the next best thing. Good luck to DGG, and sincerely hopes UT makes the playoffs, and comes up against the Buckeyes. Believe he made the best choice for him, although a bit misguided by our standards. Each choice has consequences. And the Buckeye RB room will thrive. Go Bucks, every day and always.

OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

calibuck
Yet I tuned in to a Chicago game, and she ended up with something akin to 17 points, couple of rebounds, and several assists. She's got all the tools, certainly, and still has the guts to drive against the tall timber, but something's just not clicking. Hopefully she can sort it out. Or she might become a 'traveler', spending time with a lot of different organizations, much like Jim Jackson.

2028 OH WR Lorenzo McMullen Jr. (Verbal Offer)

calibuck
Thacker and Hogue (he of the coke-bottle glasses) beat tOSU, after the Buckeyes beat Cal for the basketball Nati. Our guys were sophomores, and ended up in the final four the next two years, losing to the Bearcats both years. Damon Flint was a Buckeye verbal, until 'someone' reported a illegal gift of a gym bag to Damon. Allegedy, it was a Cincy coach/booster/?. Flint ultimately went to UC, where he had a not so great career. But your Huggins era folk speak to being a basketball school. Betcha cannot name the same number of star players for the football team?

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Take DGG's money and allocate it to flipping Osborne or ensuring Tavien's successor is secured. Or pay the next karlos may, because those are ultra rare unlike running backs.

TN paid double for their HS rb, and probably have to at least double (if not 3x or more) their budget to retain current running backs. Never mind what it does across the board to actual college performers on their team and not just hopeful one like David.

Looking back, that's a bold gamble, and one desperate programs might make. And it will cost them a lot of millions when the rest of the running backs, and the entire team, come asking for their appropriate pay. Best case scenario this cost them them $10 million more per year on top of what they just offered this high school.

It's not a wise play for OSU.

OSU had plenty to beat Florida with Antonio Pittman. Clemson won it all with Wayne gallman. Those two outcomes were decided by trenches and qbs. OSU had neither.

Fuly agree! IU just won an NC with 2 former 3star RB transfers. Pay big money for the trenches(like they're doing in '27), OSU will get another RB. 2027, RB isn't a necessity and Newman-Hall is a beast that is arriving in '28

Skull Session: Ohio State Favored to Win It All in EA Sports College Football 27 Simulations, OSU Has the Second-Best Offensive Line in the Country, and Ryan Day and Jaylen McClain Earn Allstate AFCA Good Works Team Nods

Ohio State is favored to win it all in EA Sports CFB simulations, OSU has the nation’s second-best offensive line, and Ryan Day and Jaylen McClain are AFCA Good Works Team nominees.

THE CAPTAIN. Bruce Thornton certainly made a name for himself during the NBA Summer League.

The 31st pick in the 2026 NBA draft (first pick of the second round), Thornton averaged a team-high 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, a team-high 4.4 assists and 2.8 steals per game in five Summer League games for the Houston Rockets. The Buckeyes’ all-time leading scorer and first-ever four-time captain shot 39.1% from the field and 40.6% from beyond the arc on 6.4 3-pointers per contest in a team-high 31.4 minutes per game.

Granted, it's only the Summer League, but Thornton will look to carry that momentum into the preseason and prove that he belongs in the rotation as a rookie on a team that is an NBA title contender.
