2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

OSU is now in an extremely interesting predicament for the RB class now. It'd be what Marlo and Chris would call "one of those good problems"(for The Wire watchers). It seems like Carsyn Baker from GA has OSU in his lead, Locklyn has now made up ground for Derek Cooper, and he's still in the hunt for Savion Hiter. Then there's still Favour Akih who has visited about 4 times in the last 2 months. Akih seems to be getting slow played for the moment, because there's no way Lock turns down a commitment from 2 of the RBs in the first group of 3 for Akih. No offense, but he's not on their level(at least not at this time). Akih and one of that group would be a great class, but if Lock were to land 2 of the 1st group, you're talking the #1 RB class easily

Ohio State’s men’s golf team wins the Buckeye Classic on Saturday, April 12, 2025. | @OhioStateMGOLF on X.com

From a Big Ten title, a home run for the record books, Big Ten honors, and a few big wins, stay updated on the Buckeyes’ top accomplishments across the sporting world.

While much of Buckeye Nation was watching the defending national champions take the field for the Spring Game Saturday, the rest of the spring sports teams were busy making us proud as well.

Here’s what you need to know to stay in the loop on all your favorite OSU spring sports this week.


Men’s Golf earns first victory of the year


Ohio State took home the title at the Buckeye Classic last Saturday — its first win of the season — after edging out Michigan by just one shot to finish on top of the 13-team pool.

The back-and-forth battle, which included multiple lead changes, ended with Ohio State on top thanks to a pair of birdies on holes 14 and 15. The team earned a final-round score of 282 (-18). Freshman Vaughn Harber came up big for the Buckeyes with a career-best fourth-place finish after shooting 6-under, while Jack Vojtko shot under par in all three rounds for the first time in his career to finish at 5-under in seventh place.

The Buckeyes will stay in Columbus this weekend as they host the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate at the OSU Golf Club’s Scarlet Course to close out the regular season.


No. 22 Softball tops Penn State thanks to lights-out performance from Reagan Milliken


Ohio State took two games of their three-game road series against Penn State this weekend, clinching the final game, 14-11, after senior Reagan Milliken became just the third Buckeye ever to hit three home runs in the same game.

Milliken went 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs and homers in the fourth, sixth, and seventh innings, and she wasn’t the only Buckeye getting in on the action. Morgan Frye batted 1.000 in the game, going 3-for-3, while Jasmyn Burns added three hits of her own and Skylar Limon tacked on 3 RBIs.

Buckeye bats have been hot all year, and while Milliken’s spectacular showing stood out on Sunday, the Buckeye offense had a lot to show for itself this weekend. During Friday’s series opener, which OSU took, 9-5, the team put six runs on the board with six hits and 5 two-out RBIs during the fourth inning. Then in Saturday’s loss, the Buckeyes earned their 100th home run of the year off a solo shot from Hadley Parisien.

Up next, OSU closes out an eight-game road trip with a midweek game at Dayton on Wednesday before welcoming rival Michigan to Columbus for a three-game series this weekend.


Men’s Volleyball earns the No. 3 seed in the MIVA quarterfinals


After No. 15 Ohio State defeated Quincy, 3-1, in the regular season finale last weekend on the road, the Buckeyes tied for third place in the conference standings, taking the tiebreaker over Lewis to earn themselves a No. 3 seed.

In addition to Saturday’s win, OSU also defeated Quincy, 3-0, on Friday. Saturday was their 10th win in 12 games, marking their third consecutive season with 11 conference wins.

Each of the top four teams in the conference has the opportunity to host a quarterfinal game, and OSU will host No. 6 Lindenwood Saturday, April 19, at 5 p.m. ET in Columbus. The Buckeyes are hoping to win their third consecutive MIVA postseason tournament to advance to the NCAA championships.


No. 4 men’s tennis clinches Big Ten championship


Ohio State’s men’s tennis team clinched a share of its 19th consecutive Big Ten title after sweeping Northwestern, 4-0, on the road Sunday.

The Buckeyes earned the doubles point with wins from Alex Fuchs and Alexander Bernard and Brandon Carpico and Nikita Filin, while singles points were earned by Filin, Will Jansen, and Jack Anthrop, who is on a 13-match win streak. It marked their 24th consecutive win over the Wildcats.

Sunday’s victory brings OSU to 22-2 on the season (11-0 in conference). Up next, they’ll try to remain undefeated in the Big Ten as they welcome Indiana on Friday and Purdue on Sunday to close out the regular season.


Women’s rowing earns two Big Ten Boat of the Week honors


Though Ohio State’s rowing team was off this weekend, they earned two Big Ten Boat of the Week honors mid-last week after they won seven races against SMU the previous Friday. Their 1V4 and 2V8 boats were recognized for their wins, having won their races by three and four seconds, respectively.

After resting up this week, they’ll head to Sarasota, Florida, for the Big Ten Invite this Friday and Saturday.

Florida Gators (official thread)

It is generally used as an insult by fans of schools that are only good at one sport.

For instance, during peak Saban years, Gumps would call LSU a "baseball" school as an insult to imply that we weren't very good at football. Now that they're mediocre in football and think that they're good at basketball (they're not), they don't use it anymore.
But does anyone get offended by being "a football school"? Or no, because we all wish we were good at football?

Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

three straight posts in this thread of DL entering the portal within a couple of days of Ryan Day admitting publicly that he would consider making some portal additions to that group

Coincidence?
The rate of DL entries hasn’t changed but the folks who post in this thread were more likely to notice DL because of Day’s words?
Or did these guys respond to the sound of an opportunity?
Yup, I purposely posted due to Day's words and my eyes watching the Spring game

Florida Gators (official thread)

Also, I'm intentionally stirring the pot, but why is it "stirring the pot" to call someone a basketball conference or basketball school? Is it because it implies that they aren't a football conference/school?
