OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

DZ83CK
You know where apathy starts? Recruiting guys who don't play with maximum effort and guys that aren't physically big, strong, tough and athletic enough to compete. This is the #1 area where OSU basketball recruiting needs to change, and until it does, we're not going to see another team with the defensive chops to contend for a B1G championship. To really turn the program around, the primary focus should not be offensive skillset, the primary focus should be finding guys with the motor to go along with the size and athletic ability to compete in the B1G. 3/4 of the battle in winning a college basketball game is controlling the glass, making more foul shots than your opponent & winning the turnover battle, and if you do all those things you can win a lot of games even if your team isn't the greatest at shooting the ball. These are things that Izzo has made a Hall of Fame career based on, and yet somehow other college coaches all seem to think they need to try and audition for NBA jobs rather than build programs that compete at the highest levels in college. If OSU ever wants to turn the program around and gain a larger fan following, the first step is go back to getting guys like Aaron Craft, David Lighty, Jae'Sean Tate & Je'Kel Foster on the team.

Ohio House bill would scuttle OHSAA policy, ban NIL in middle and high school sports

Newly introduced Ohio HB 661 would prohibit middle and high school students from entering name, image and likeness deals with businesses.

Why...I just ...what the fuck ever.

Why??!!

All the shit wrong in the state and world today and THIS is what some cockslap, money grubbing, crooked fuck politician came up with? THIS is the thing that just has to get done?

"I know there are kids without winter coats. I know food insecurity is rampant as well as drug addiction, mental health and homelessness but fuck all that. Today we tell the children of Ohio enough is enough! We grown ups know what's best for you and will tell you how and when you are allowed to make money. It's what's best for the state of Ohio and by the State of Ohio I mean my lobbyists."

I was on a philosophy teaching fellowship from '91-'93, then bailed and went to law school. Taught ethics and logic, which is ironic as I'm frequently unethical and illogical.

My life long experience taught me that teaching something doesn’t necessarily mean you do it, just means you know when you’re not doing it, which is still a progress compared to those who were not aware of own follies.

I was on a philosophy teaching fellowship from '91-'93, then bailed and went to law school. Taught ethics and logic, which is ironic as I'm frequently unethical and illogical. Was my first job and I think it paid $18K a year plus my grad tuition and student football tix. Lived in what could best be described as a housing project behind the McDonald's at 16th when you could get burgers for $.25 on Monday nights. and you could get a burrito a few doors down that was like three meals worth. Best fcuking time.

With you on Pat, don't really have any issues with him.

Portnoy, on the other hand, is most things I hate about humanity. He's from Boston (adjacent obviously, you never hear from people who are actually from Boston City proper), Michigan alum/fanboy, and an insufferable love for the fucking Patriots.

He didn't even have to be a douche bag.
