Associate HC/DL Coach Larry Johnson Sr. (National Champion)

Along the above lines, saw that the DC offered a DL/DT saying 'we should have offered you sooner'. Certainly that could be a throw-away line, designed to get tOSU into the forefront of his recruiting, but maybe, more ominously, it's a foretelling of what's to come with LJsr. Also merely conjecture by me at this point, but who truly knows.

WR Carnell Tate (National Champion)

Recollect that Larry Bird was interviewed before the Celtics took on the Lakers in the NBA finals. He said that it wasn't about how he matched up with Magic, but how the fourth and fifth men matched up that would make the difference. Am agreeing, that when J. Smith goes against their first line CB, and then Tate against their 2nd line CB, that leaves Inniss, and tOSU's fourth/fifth receiver to go against the opponent's fourth/fifth CBs. Ultimately, tOSU's WRs are deeper and better, and so there will be mis-matches, and hopefully big gainers. Ergo, would expect that maybe excepting for the big powers, no one can field a pair of corners that are elite, and yeah, Tate will have a big season. Wild card will be, does tOSU have a QB that can consistently make the throws to those WRs? Guess we'll see soon enough. Here's hoping....

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, etc.

But unfortunately we also need an asterisk for “didn’t report stuff after getting 2 emails from a lawyer”.
Sorry, but besides that there’s no natty to take away for that, besides the likely 2012 one that they didn’t get to play for, what punishment hasn’t already been levied for a far less significant underlying offense?

DB Devin Sanchez (Official Thread)


I’m typically hesitant to think true freshmen will get meaningful PT but Sanchez is a top tier elite talent that I feel could truly force his way onto the field. Whether that’s slot, some combo of slot and boundary — or what. If he’s consistent in fall camp I’d subscribe to the notion that Lorenzo Styles has a really short leash - which is why I feel like he ultimately ends up at safety anyway to get the best corners on the field but I’m getting ahead of myself and making stupid assumptions because it’s May.

Ohio State Women's Basketball (2023-24 B1G CHAMPS)

Going back to my Business Law days, one has to have several elements to make a contract. Intent, timing, and consideration. Maybe the first two in the LOI, and the consideration in the form of an NIL agreement? Pretty certain that a recruit these days would consider the NIL to be the more important of the two. Hey, tOSU has enough legal staff (maybe from the Law School?) to enforce an LOI, via a specific performance avenue? Pretty drastic, certainly, and certain that Gator would chime in, if he was still around, about the nuances of such an enforced contract. Go Bucks!
