NFL Discussion (Official Thread)

California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)

He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well

2027 NC DL John Archer (South Carolina Verbal)

DT John Archer is planning 5 spring visits: Ohio State, NC State, UNC, FSU, and TX. No dates finalized yet.

He's near the top of the board for our big beefy NT target. Also, he grew up an OSU fan.
Big fan, glad it appears we have a legit shot. Reminds me a bit of McDonald at the same stage (a tad lighter maybe).

OSU is “turning up the heat” on OL Ismael Camara and is right there with Bama and A&M for top ranked CB John Meredith
This is a battle I really hope we win. We tend to minimize the "losses" in our heads, but imagine if we didn't land Okudah and Bell in that class that was the basis of a title team. Not saying the world is over if we lose this one, but we've gotta start winning some of them again.

2027 PA OL Maxwell Hiller (Florida Verbal)

Potential Big News. 5* OT Max Hiller is down to 4 schools and will take an OV to each. Bama on 5/29, TN on 6/12, and FL on 6/19. He says he will take one to Ohio State, but the date not finalized yet. With the dead period moving up in the calendar this year to after the 6/19 OV weekend now, I'd assume the OV to us would be on the open 6/5 date.
This is our best shot at an Elite OT this cycle. It's notable that he cancelled his OV to South Carolina, as they'd been near his top school for a long time now, and setting an OV to us and not them, nor PSU or ND (who'd both been pushing). He visited PSU the day before he went to visit us last weekend. If he actually makes the OV to us, we have a great shot here.

I saw where Fong had an update about an hour ago about 2 schools tied at the top for Hiller, but Idk which 2.

Bama and Florida.
He’s had a long relationship with Bama, but they just fired their OL coach. And Florida’s new OL coach came from PSU, so he’s known him for years. But Florida is in a rebuild. I think we have a shot if we are willing to pay up for a top tier OT.

2026 Winter Olympics (Milan - Cortina, Feb 6-20)

It's Ohio State versus Ohio State today....ummm Canada v. US. Seven Buckeyes will be on the ice. Winner will get a one or two seed for the quarterfinals. Loser will drop down to the 3 seed, and if the Swedes get the tiebreaker for the 1 seed, it means that Canada and the US will have a rematch in the semis rather than the finals.

TE Grant Haviland will be visiting on 3/28. It'll be a huge visit, as he wants to make a commitment in the spring and only take an OV to the school he's committed to.

It seems like he is Bailey's top option if we miss out on Williams (along with Jaxson Dollar). Ironically, UGA would be the biggest threat to Haviland, but we can land him if they get Williams instead.

2027 CA DL Marcus Fakatou (Verbal Offer)

11W Forums

Per Gorney, the four schools “emerging” for DT Marcus Fakatou are OSU, Michigan, ND, and UGA. Even with USC is pushing hard and just had him on campus.

We’ll see if we can get him on campus for March or April. LJ just visited him on Friday. He reclassed from ‘28, and I bet his ranking will continue to go up once they do the updates.

New TE name to keep an eye on. Sean Currie from NJ. Bailey offered him a few weeks ago. And looks like he's visiting in spring. Would love to get him. I've been desperately wanting a tall athletic TE since the old Ruckert/Farrell days. It's a shame Jelani didn't work out.

Recently offered TE target Sean Currie will visit OSU on 3/10. He will also take trips to PSU and A&M.
Committed to VA for both football and lacrosse.

Also, Currie was the first recruit that Arthur Smith spoke to over FaceTime after being hired.
