Make a decision and go find something incredibly stupid someone who is upset by your decision inevitably says on the internet and use that stupidity to retroactively justify your decision. It works no matter what schools are involved.

I also just thought of another silver lining … at least we don’t have to light a roster spot on fire for DGG’s high school friend now.

Giving 2+ mil right off the start to a HS RB is complete insanity (and desperation in Tennessee's case)

Tennessee is setting a not so good precedent for themselves here, all upper level recruits are going to demand this sort of treatment from them now going forward, and it's just not sustainable consistently enough to get them enough of those types of guys to be able to actually be a true contender.

Ohio State is in a nice position where they don't have to play that desperation game.

Even if we don't end up with a HS RB in this class it's really not a huge deal. Handful of guys on the roster who are Sophomores or Freshmen, it's not like some dire situation here where we have 4 guys and 3 are for sure gone after the season. Stud incoming in the 2028 class and we can and will use the portal to get someone capable if we had to. It's going to be seen by the outside definitely as bitterness when this is said but DGG was purely a luxury recruit for Ohio State.

With Manuel gone, the Buckeyes will likely maintain supremacy in the best rivalry in sports over TTUN. Kyle Whittingham is a stop-gap coach who won't be there for the long-term. Ohio State is too good, and their culture is too strong for them to lose too many games to TTUN.

The Buckeyes are happy with what they have been able to do with their athletics. With Manuel ousted, they no longer have to worry about cheating being rampant throughout the athletic department. That's especially true in the football program. The Buckeyes have to be pleased with that.

This issue for TTUN is one that will continue to follow them until Manuel actually is gone at the end of 2026. He gave TTUN a lot of success on the playing field because he was willing to overlook the rules. That issue is something that Michigan looks like they want to fix finally.

Ohio State, on the other hand, will continue to do things above board. Ross Bjork might have some issues, but at least he's ethical.

I’m not buying the part in the article that I’ve bolded. Cheating is in their nature.

That's naive to think the bad fans are only ones who didn't go to the school. There are bad fans who will tweet nonsense at recruits who went to Ohio State as well.

It's also naive to think that only Ohio State has fans that act like tools on social media to recruits. Not that it's ever ok, but you get this from about every major fan base.

Top insider has predicted where 5-star David Gabriel Georges will commit to between Ohio State and Tennessee

We’re just days away from David Gabriel Georges announcing where he will play college football. On3’s Pete Nakos has called his shot on who the elite running back recruit will choose between Ohio State and Tennessee.
atozsports.com atozsports.com

The gap between the two programs doesn’t appear to be about football. Ohio State has more to offer in terms of program success and NFL development. The divide, instead, likely sits on the financial front. Tennessee is willing to go significantly higher than Ohio State for a player who has never taken a college snap. The deal from Tennessee could exceed $2 million per year over three years, while Ohio State’s offer sits just above $1 million annually over the same period.

For quite a while, the Buckeyes had several crystal ball predictions to land Gabriel Georges. However, the tide seems to be turning. Over the last few days, it seems that he has been leaning towards Tennessee. Now, a big expert prediction has flipped to the Volunteers.

Crystal ball prediction flips to Tennessee over Ohio State for David Gabriel Georges​

According to Steve Wiltfong of Rivals, he has flipped his prediction from Ohio State to Tennessee. That's a big blow for the Ohio State Buckeyes, just two days before Gabriel Georges is set to make his decision. It means that the NIL money might have been increased by the Volunteers.

Wiltfong has heavily implied that the NIL money is the driving factor in this decision. If that is the case, the Vols could have another Chaz Coleman situation on their hands. He was the last player that they offered a bunch of NIL money to choose them over the Buckeyes, and that blew up in their face.

I can see OSU stepping back and trying to flip Jayden Miles, and if that doesn't work, then reassessing the class at the end or towards the end of the HS season. OSU has 6 RBs on schollie, so RB isn't a NEED, but if/when he chooses Tenn on Wednesday, just expect a meltdown by a number of OSU fans, and Tenn fans wanting to rub it in our faces. But tbh, they are desperate. OSU in 2027 can still have a rotation of: Jackson, West, Bey/Rogers and be a top 5 RB room in the country. In 2028, OSU could have a rotation of: West, Bey, Rogers, Akih and be fine. And I'm not even including Lock finding a transfer in each of the following seasons.

I hope DGG chooses OSU, but in the end, the program will be fine with or without him. I can remember guys like Bijan Robinson, Richard Young, and CJ Baxter being big misses at RB in their time, yet OSU was fine. And they'll be fine in this case too

B. Robinson may have been the difference in 22 and 23. That loss was actually felt.

Karlos May commits to Ohio State: Why the 2027 DL class could top historic 2021 group

Karlos May commits to Ohio State: Why the 2027 DL class could top historic 2021 group​

Ohio State may have the backbone of yet another national champion-caliber defensive front after adding Karlos May.

The Ohio State Buckeyes did it again with the commitment of 4-star defensive tackle Karlos May. Not only is the program's Alabama pipeline strengthened with yet another recruit from the Yellowhammer State spurning the Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers for the Scarlet and Gray, but the Buckeyes have found their final infinity stone up front.

May is a one-technique who could also be a three-tech, but he's someone who complements the program's 2027 group nicely. Marcus Fakatou is a five-tech, while DJ Jacobs and Wyatt Smith are edge-rushers by trade.

As Cleveland.com's Andrew Gillis notes, the May commitment gives Ohio State's 2027 high school class perhaps the best group of DL since the 2021 cycle. That class had J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams, and Mike Hall, which was the crux of an eventual championship during the 2024/2025 CFP.

"The addition of May gives Ohio State not only one of the best defensive line classes in the country, but multiple prospects who can fill a host of different roles. After a handful of tackle additions last cycle, the Buckeyes now have at least one in 2027," Gillis wrote. "Ohio State’s defensive line class is likely complete with the four additions, as May was the last piece to the puzzle for defensive line coach Larry Johnson.

"Now, the Buckeyes seem to have a class that rivals the 2021 cycle that brought the team J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Tyleik Williams and Mike Hall. All four were drafted by NFL teams, and three of those four were around for a national title. It was also the backbone of Ryan Day’s best class while at Ohio State...The Buckeyes are hoping that May’s addition to the class can give them the same results."

OSU's 2027 class will be in a better place to contribute immediately than the 2021 class​

That 2021 class was arguably held back by then-defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, whose system is notoriously difficult to grasp right away. While the results obviously came after a few years, there's no doubt that Matt Patricia could've had those guys contributing sooner if he were the DC instead. Patricia's defensive philosophies focus on his players' talents, and that group was clearly special considering their NFL trajectories.

2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

ScriptOhio

How the 2026 FIFA World Cup was like no other as it inspired and incensed​

.

In the end, currency is nearly always the most powerful factor in sports, and it is here, too -- for good and evil. The incredible amount of dollars generated by this tournament will help FIFA spread soccer's gospel to parts of the world that need it. It will also almost certainly ensure that the commercialization of the game, whether through those commercials or halftime shows or an overstuffed, 64-team field, continues unabated.

In the end, all we know for sure is this: However you feel about this particular party and all that went into it -- whether you found it gorgeous or garish, astonishing or absurd, cinematic or corrupt -- it is impossible to imagine a scenario in which FIFA and the United States don't partner up to throw another one soon, possibly as soon as 2038. It is, for better and worse, inevitable.

What will be the feeling at the end of that one? Probably something similar to the mix of moods that fans all over the globe feel at the end of this one.

It was amazing. It was awful. And they can't wait to do it again.

Why the USA will likely host the 2038 World Cup after President Donald Trump’s request​

U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he wants the United States to host another FIFA World Cup as soon as possible.

The sun has set on the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which was hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

The USA took the biggest load of the three nations, hosting 78 matches in what was an incredibly successful event. As a result, President Trump wants the tournament back on American soil.

In an interview with FOX Sports, President Trump revealed he’s discussed hosting the World Cup again with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, pushing Infantino to consider it even if it’s an unpopular decision.

The 2026 edition was the second time the USA has hosted a World Cup, with the previous edition coming 32 years ago in 1994.

The next two World Cups already have assigned hosts, with Spain, Morocco, and Portugal hosting the centennial 2030 edition alongside one game each in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

The 2034 edition will be hosted in Saudi Arabia, 12 years after Qatar was the last Asian country to host the tournament.

Why the USA will most likely be the 2038 World Cup hosts​

Whether intentional or not, FIFA has essentially put itself in a situation where the USA is the only realistic country to act as hosts for the 2038 World Cup.

FIFA’s rules on rotating the World Cup hosts between continents for each edition are being tested in a major way.

A member association from a confederation that hosted either of the previous two World Cups is generally prohibited from bidding for the next one.

The 2030 edition will be hosted on three continents (Europe, South America, Africa), and 2034 is going to Saudi Arabia (Asia). This rules out four of the six continental confederations from hosting the 2038 WC.

With CONCACAF and Oceania the only eligible continents left for 2038, it’s almost a certainty that the USA’s bid for what might be a 64-team World Cup by then will be the winning one.
