Why not take a gamble on Art Schlichter

What are the Ohio men’s odds in to win the Big Ten and NCAA Tournaments?​

.

Now, the team will open the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 8 seed, meaning that they will receive a double-bye and face No. 17 Maryland, No. 16 Oregon, or No. 9 Iowa on Thursday. So, before the Buckeyes get back on the court, we are checking in with our friends at FanDuel to see where OSU stands in terms of their postseason odds.

Big Ten Tournament odds​

Before action gets underway in the Windy City this week, Ohio State currently sits as the ninth most likely team to take home the conference title. Despite being a better seed than Iowa, the Hawkeyes have the eighth-best odds at +5000, while OSU is at +7500.
The Michigan Wolverines have the best odds in the conference at -105, with Illinois next, considerably further behind, at +460.

Final Four odds​

At this point, I think that all of Buckeye Nation can feel pretty confident in OSU’s potential to make the Big Dance. Of course, anything can happen, but it would be a shock of monumental proportions if they were left out of the tournament field.
So, I don’t feel like I am jinxing anything by looking at any of their March Madness odds. So, let’s start with the Buckeyes’ chances to make the Final Four. Currently, they have the 41st-best odds, tied with Auburn, at +12500.
The Big Ten teams ahead of them are Michigan (-170), Illinois (+340), Purdue (+500), Michigan State (+1100), Nebraska (+2000), Wisconsin (+3500), Iowa (+4500), and UCLA (+8000).

---

National championship odds​

The national championship outlook is very similar to that of the Final Four. The Buckeyes are tied with McNeese with the 40th-best shot to cut down the nets at +50000. That is a veeeeeeeery long shot, but even a $1 bet would bring in a $5,000 profit if Bruce Thornton and company go on the greatest run in tournament history. While it is essentially setting a dollar bill on fire, I can think of worse ways to waste a buck.
Unsurprisingly (and annoyingly), Michigan has the best odds in the country at +340, followed by Duke at +360, Arizona at +550, then Florida (+700) and Houston (+1000).

With limited NIL (reported $400k) and no revenue sharing for wrestling at tOSU it will be very difficult in the portal for Ryan. Ped State has a reported $1.5 million revenue sharing and a lot more than that NIL. After poaching Rocco last year you don't think they and others (Okie State for one) will make a run at Davino? Not saying they'll get him, but they'll make a run. That said, I wouldn't bet against Ryan. He's done a great job keeping his guys.

I don't think Okie State will have any interest in Davino nor would Penn State. Okie State has Jax Forrest wrestling now at 133. He enrolled early from high school this January and steamrolled his way to the Big12 title. Not only that, but they have the Raney brothers coming in next year too at lower weights. Unless these guys all bump up a weigh class, I’m not sure if I see it.

VA Tech will be tough next year, but has Seidel at 133 and he’s a freshman too. There aren’t many schools that would be willing to dish out a big NIL deal other than Iowa State, and from what I understand, Davino loves Ohio State.

Penn State is in an interesting spot. They have U20 and Senior World Champ Masanosuke Ono waiting in the wings at 133 too. I believe he is a junior and will have one or two years of eligibility. He is redshirting to get used to Folkstyle. Think Echemendia when he was at OSU. Super talented, but equally raw. Ono is a lot better.

Maybe Blaze takes a redshirt next year to allow Ono a season, or maybe Blaze bumps up to 141 and replaces Davis. Maybe OSU can convince Blaze to come home too! I have a theory of who Penn State’s main NIL booster is and his pockets are as deep as they get. I would assume Blaze got a truck load to go to Penn State. That said, I think some of this depends on how well he does at the NCAAs this year.

Regardless, great time to be a fan of wrestling across the board. A lot of good wrestlers out there that are good humans too, that are doing their thing to get younger kids enthused about the sport. Cleveland is going to be rocking. Can’t wait!

Ono on line 6239!

I just see it as Smith’s version of Boyer that Patricia got last year. Couldn’t tell you how good of an idea it is, but it’s someone they like coaching with that makes things run easier.

Agreed. I read it as a 'we're not thrilled with our OL coaching, specifically w/r/t the run game. This shit needs fix'n and with a new OC who knows how to establish a mean ground and pound (debatable for BN27) run game, we need someone to take his vision and unfuck the OL.'
