TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Tennessee Verbal)

MGMT said:
Can we shift for a second? How do you guys actually feel about him as a prospect? How good do you think he is/what do you see?

Does his running style remind you of anyone in particular?

Is he actually special? It so what is the super power(s)?

Just curious - I haven’t seen much actual dialogue about him as a prospect (sorry if I missed it) and the NIL subject gets tiresome at times.

I think he’s an incredible RB prospect. Future 1st rounder. Would love to see him in Columbus. I do wonder if we were ever in it for Kemon Spell though if we would be pursuing him as aggressively. But I think these are two elite prospects

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

This week’s question: Who will lead Ohio State in blocks this season?​

Connor: Amare Bynum​

While he originally was not expected to be relied on quite as heavily as he actually was, Amare Bynum ended up playing a huge role for Ohio State last season after forcing himself into the starting lineup in December. Despite having to play the position at times last year, Bynum is not a center and will play a much more comfortable power forward next season.
Still, Bynum was Ohio State’s leading shot blocker as a freshman, finishing the year with 28 blocks in 34 contests. He’ll need to become more consistent in that area, as he had a game with four blocks, a game with three blocks, but also had a stretch from late January to early February where he blocked one shot in a five-game stretch, with Ohio State going 2-3 in that stretch.
Bynum’s going to lead the team in blocks again this season (with an even bigger number of them) because he’s got the best combination of height and athleticism on the roster. He’s got long arms but is also quick enough on his feet to get him into a position where he’s able to get his hand on the ball, even if it’s against someone he wasn’t guarding until sliding over at the very last second.
It’s hard to calculate or put a number on it, but I also feel like Bynum is a big-time momentum-shifting type of player. Once he swats one shot, the whole crowd is holding their breath, waiting for him to do it again. When he starts to get confident and a little cocky on the defensive end, he really becomes a menace to teams when they try to drive to the basket.

Justin: Ivan Njegovan​

I think Ivan Njegovan will lead the team in blocks for the sole reason that he is the best rim protector on the team, and I do think he will play more this season than last. Njegovan decided to return to Columbus for his third season, and so far, there has been a good amount of talk from open practice and camp that he has really improved his inside game and defense.
Josh Ojianwuna is going to be the starting center, but Andrija Jelavic is more of a stretch four, and Vuk Lazarevic is a freshman who arrived on campus late, so his learning curve is going to be steeper than the other freshmen.
With Ojianwuna coming off a knee injury that sidelined him for the end of the 2024-25 season and all of last season, he will have his minutes limited at least to start as he gets back into the flow of the game and game shape. That will have Njegovan playing more, and I expect him to get 12-15 minutes per game early in the
season.
Last season, he averaged 0.4 blocks per game, but he led the team in blocks per 40 minutes, and his defense and rim protection were something that really improved as the season progressed. I expect him to take an even bigger jump in that department this season.

It's a good debate. Njegovan had the highest block rate on the team last season, but he shouldn't play as much as Bynum, so he'll be behind him in raw block totals. Ojianwuna is on par with Bynum, but he also probably won't play as much as Bynum. Sleeper choice is Anthony Thompson - with his height and length, he could block a surprising number of shots.

New Mile Record

Josh Kerr just broke an old record for the fastest mile. Just under 3 minutes and 43 seconds. He averaged over 16 MPH.

If you are wondering whether that is fast, jump on a treadmill at the gym and give it a whirl. I set mine at 12 once years ago when I ran frequently. It was humbling and I don’t think I managed more than 20 seconds at that pace.

Josh Kerr of Britain breaks the men’s mile world record that stood since 1999

Josh Kerr of Britain breaks the men’s mile world record that stood since 1999​

90


Josh Kerr, the British runner who helped stoke a revival in middle-distance drama on the track, added a new chapter Saturday by running the mile in 3 minutes, 42.66 seconds to break the 27-year-old world record for the distance.

At a Diamond League meet in London, Kerr broke Moroccan great Hicham El Guerrouj’s mark of 3 minutes, 43.13 seconds, set in Rome in 1999. The 28-year-old native of Edinburgh celebrated with a lap of honor at London Stadium.

“It was just me, my shoes and the track,” he said. “I was absolutely deaf in that last 110 meters.”

Kerr finished more than three seconds clear of American Yared Nuguse’s second-place time of 3:45.69.

In an interview with the BBC, Kerr said the crowd support as he closed in on the record was “just incredible.”

“I didn’t take my foot off the gas,” he continued, “but ... I started to glide and I was like ‘oh wow this feels incredible.’ It’s incredible because I’m slowing down. So, I was like ‘I better get to the line.’ So, crossing the finish line, seeing 42-something — anything — was my goal, so it was great.”

The 28-year-old Kerr’s previous best time was 3:45.34 in 2024.

This year, with no worlds or Olympics on the schedule, Kerr made the mile his key target. It’s a distance that isn’t run as much in big events but that still has major historical significance, most of it surrounding Roger Bannister’s breaking of the once-intimidating four-minute barrier in 1954.

Just sayin': He beat the old record by .47 seconds.
