Sports 'journalists' (Who Don't Work For ESPN)

Klatt has lost all credibility with his attitudes towards TCUN. He once was an interesting weekly podcast. I haven't given him even a cursory look for the last two years. That's not an emotional response. I just value my time and found that I no longer came away from his podcast with one useful or informative insight.
Joel Klatt is the next worst thing to Kirk Herbstreit....

2026 MO OL Jackson Cantwell (Miami Verbal)

I hope he goes to Miami so it’s more hilarious when their spending results in 8 wins
Kind of like how it worked out with Francis Mauigoa and Samson Okunla

And refuses to play in their meaningless Bowl game at the end of the year.
It'd be hilarious to see him sit out the Buccee's Vagisil Bowl

Thursday continues the offer train as the Buckeyes hand out more in the 2027 and 2028 classes.

Ohio State’s coaching staff was all over the map once again on Thursday, using their time on the trail to offer new names. Really going hard after new prospects this week, the Buckeyes are always in evaluation mode, but ahead of the major recruiting weeks coming in June, it looks as if Ryan Day and his crew are hoping some of these new offers turn into visits.

These are some of the latest names worth watching moving forward now that Ohio State is involved.

Treyvone Towns Jr. (Westlake Village, California/Oaks Christian)

A quarterback in the 2028 class, Treyvone Towns Jr. is a 6-foot-3, 205 pound high school freshman and is now the owner of an Ohio State offer after Thursday’s touch base with the staff. Recently in Columbus to see the Buckeyes for the spring game just last month, Ohio State has seen enough to get in the mix for the youngster with a ton of potential.

Unranked via his 247Sports profile strictly because of his age, it’s only a matter of time before he’s one of the more highly-touted quarterbacks in his class. Holding offers from the likes of Arkansas, Kentucky, Penn State, Washington, and a host of others, the Buckeyes are arguably the biggest program to take notice. When it comes to quarterbacks, the longer you can develop a relationship the better.


I am Blessed and truly honored to receive an offer from THEE Ohio State University! ️-H @CoachFess @oclionsfootball @CoachDanny10 @ChadSimmons_ @BrandonHuffman @BlairAngulo @CoachKeanu @RyanMayhew_ @BoominBuckeyes @ryandaytime @TomLoy247 @PrepRedzoneNext pic.twitter.com/9d6v6VWBiy

Charlie Pisani (Fort Pierce, Florida/John Carroll)

Staying in the 2028 recruiting class, the Buckeyes also took to the offensive line to offer another new young high school freshman name. A 6-foot-3, 280 pound interior lineman, Charlie Pisani was on the receiving end of Ohio State’s offer. Looking at the other schools to be in early on his services, it makes sense why Tyler Bowen and the Buckeyes are taking a closer look.

Florida, Florida State, Miami, Texas A&M, and now Ohio State round out his biggest offers, but with those caliber of programs already in the mix it’s likely more are soon to follow suit.

It will be no surprise when Pisani is ranked among the top players in the country at his position, and with Florida always being a region Ohio State looks to take advantage of, keep your eyes on this recruitment.

Sean Tatum (Fort Pierce, Florida/John Carroll)

Double-dipping at John Carroll yesterday, Ohio State not only offered the aforementioned Pisani, but also his current prep teammate Sean Tatum. Another interior lineman, Tatum is a 6-foot-5, 280 pound athlete currently grades out as the No. 131 player nationally and the fifth best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite for the 2027 class.

Holding 20 offers to his name and from some major programs, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Penn State, Tennessee, and others are in the mix. Ohio State now firmly involved as well, Bowen has proved he is all for casting a wider net as a recruiting strategy. Though majority of his success has come from in-state players, that’s not going to be his only method as he’s laying the groundwork in every corner of the country.

A more priority target due to class, Ohio State will look to get Tatum up to Columbus for a visit, and this coming June very well could be the perfect time to do so.

Quick Hits​

  • The best position coach in the country, Brian Hartline has a multitude of reasons as to why he’s been so successful while manning the receiver position. It helps to land elite players, but it’s even more impressive to see just how well he teaches and develops the position overall.

Always looking to work with players, this summer Hartline will be back on the practice field when the Buckeyes host their recruiting camps, and 2028 receiver prospect Mason Anderson plans to show off his abilities on June 17.

A Buffalo, New York native, Anderson is starting to see his recruitment take off, with early offers from the likes of Colorado State, Syracuse, Temple, Toledo and others. These visits should help his name see that increased attention.

Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)

I know Tito’s got the HOF rep but his use of the bullpen and the same old Reds finding ways to lose adds up to not impressing me much.
I thought Asscrack has been reliable in the first inning of his appearances. And the Reds only used one reliever, compared to the cowards' 4, going into the 9th. Tito seemed like a genius. Then asscrack wet himself.

On the other hand, ashcraft has generally not had much command of the strike zone his entire career, and any closer simply must consistently throw strikes.

Just get 3 fucking outs against the bottom part of their lineup. I was thinking he could handle it.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

if a Buckeye could produce “tracking” numbers of cases and updates of internal submissions from Dept Heads to the Office of the VP that show action was demanded re: Ono due to the impact it was having University-wide. Wonder how that would be received?
I don't know what this means but it sounds awesome.

Deaths Of Notable Sports Figures (R.I.P.)

Chet Lemon, World Series champion, 3-time All-Star, dies at 70

i

Three-time All-Star center fielder Chet Lemon, who won a World Series with the 1984 Detroit Tigers, died Thursday at his home in Florida. He was 70.

"He was sleeping on his reclining sofa," his wife, Gigi Lemon, told the Detroit Free Press. "He just wasn't responsive."

Lemon had battled a rare blood disease for the past three decades and had suffered a series of strokes, leaving him unable to walk or talk.

Lemon played seven seasons with the Chicago White Sox from 1975 to '81 and nine with the Tigers from 1982 to '90. He batted .273 with 215 homers, 884 RBIs, 973 runs and 1,875 hits in 1,988 games.

Lemon set a still-standing American League record for outfielders with 512 putouts during the 1977 season.
