OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Disappointing news today about Johnson. That means Diebler has got to add another recruit from the HS ranks for 2026, right? I would think any point guard who's got an open mind would be drawn to the situation at OSU post-Bruce, as you've got a clear starting opening even for a freshman.

'26 OH PG Marcus Johnson (OSU Decommit)

Disappointing for sure, but I had kind of thought this might have happened almost a year ago when cousin Meechie didn't have as positive an experience as he had hoped.

It's bad to lose out on your top PG recruit, especially so close to the signing period. Hopefully this is an indication that perhaps Diebler has another guard that's coming. With the Buckeyes losing Bruce Thornton after this season, the PG position will be wide-open, which means this recruiting class is absolutely the one to get the PG of the future.

Brian "Body Kount" Kelly (Temu Ed Orgeron)

That's only two rounds a week, every week for 4 straight years.

Figure 3-4 hours per round so yeah, he gave one work day a week to golf.

Leaves lots of time for recruiting, on field coaching and film work
All that golf and he still shoots 95? Like his football team, he should have spent more time practicing.

Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings

Well, well, well.

What in the fuck do we have going on in college football right now?

Looks like somebody is going to be needing the services of a football genius
Did you finally figure out how to translate your decided schematic advantage into wins? I'm picturing you in the unabomber's shed, tinkering with one of those ancient magnetic football game boards to test your theories.

2026 GA RB Amari Latimer (Wisconsin Soft Verbal)

Visted Miami this past weekend, and it seems like they will be a real threat. His family seems to have ties to South FL and they're looking for another RB commit as well. So expect a possible NIL battle. But there is still a very real possibility that they keep with their hometown obsession of Derek Cooper and chase him until ESD and try and offer as much as possible, letting Latimer flip to OSU(no one has flipped their predications as of yet)

2026 MS DB Bralan Womack (Auburn Verbal)

He's gotta look at the stability of tOSU as well as the 'new' defense (made up after losing 9 to NFL), and say, hmmmmm. Also read that it wasn't about money, would guess NIL, maybe Knowles, taciturn outlook? Anyway, never over until it's over. Stay tuned.
This one is over for OSU from what Mick and Birm have said. Both sides have ended communication, shockingly NIL is a big deal :ohbrother:
