Off topic, but it's not like this thread gets a lot of sunshine thrown Cinci's way. My kid is obsessed with the baby cheetah's at the Cinci zoo. I'm planning a trip to hit up the Shoe and campus for his first visit to Columbus for a day, maybe swing by somewhere close enough between there and Cinci for some Cassanos, then maybe a couple days in Cinci. Besides the zoo and probably a disappointing Reds game.....what is there for a 9yo to do?

Fine, I'll do it. I definitely won't intentionally run that entire school into the ground or anything. You only have to pay me $1million, too.....I'm cheap compared to whatever that jocksniffer probably makes.

I'd say I'm going to do a Rip van Winkle, and sleep for three years, then wake up to see how the OL recruits are doing. But wouldn't be true, because am too big a fan to not watch Buckeye Football as much as possible. I harken back to the Brew Crew, which was way above average, but also recollect that four of the five recruits were 5*s, with the last a high 4*. They played well, certainly, but (and memory is a bit hazy), they didn't win a Natty. Oh, typing got ahead of brain....common wisdom says that cannot really tell about an OL until 2-4 years down the road (or other recruits).

At this point, they have to cut Ono loose and get somebody in there who's both competent and capable of realistic crisis management and damage mitigation. To stick with the guy who's primary emotional motivation is to be loved by the foosball players is suicide. So, I'm sure that's exactly what they'll do because they are constitutionally incapable of admitting fault or error.

At 464 pounds, Florida's Desmond Watson could become the heaviest draft pick in NFL history

Florida defensive tackle Desmond Watson tipped the scales at 464 pounds during the team's pro day. It was one of several eye-popping numbers for the 6-foot-6 pro prospect.

At 464 pounds, Florida’s Desmond Watson could become the heaviest draft pick in NFL history​

Considering everything massive defensive tackle Desmond Watson showed during Florida’s pro day, his most impressive feat may have been escaping the practice facility without anyone noticing.

The 6-foot-6, 464-pound pro prospect somehow slipped team personnel and media members following his workout in front of NFL scouts Thursday.

Watson’s teammates and coaches spoke on his behalf, all of them raving about the numbers he put up while trying to convince someone to make him the heaviest draft pick in NFL history next month.

“He moves way better than anybody thought he would at his size,” fellow defensive tackle Joey Slackman said. “I don’t see why a team wouldn’t give him a chance. He’s a football player through and through; I would want that guy on my team.”

Watson repped 225 pounds a whopping 36 times, which topped any bench-press performance at this year’s NFL combine. He covered the 40-yard dash in 5.93 seconds and recorded 25 inches in the vertical jump.

He looked winded during position drills, not all that surprising given Florida had just four defensive linemen in the rotation. But his size and strength — his weight, really — stood out during perhaps the most important day in his professional journey.

“Dez, obviously, he’s a unicorn,” Gators coach Billy Napier said. “You’ll go the rest of your career and you’ll never be around a guy that’s that stature. And then you get to know Dez. He’s extremely intelligent. He’s got a great sense of humor. He was a great teammate.

“Obviously showed up in good shape today, so he’ll get his shot, and I’m hoping he’ll make the most of it.”

Watson stepping on the scale was as eye-popping as his bench press. He was listed at 449 pounds last season, up from 435 pounds as a junior and 415 pounds as a sophomore. He’s had to manage his weight since he first stepped foot on campus in 2021, when then-Florida coach Dan Mullen called him “a 385-pound athlete.”

“He’s had numerous nutritionists, numerous position coaches, numerous strength coaches, and I think this past year we probably executed the best we have,” Napier said. “And I thought he played his best football of his career. In general, I think he’s learned a lot about habit-building, self-discipline.

“Ultimately, the guy’s frame score would indicate that he’s going to be a huge — that number’s always going to be pretty big. He’s 6-foot-6 and just the density, the bone structure. It’s just a big man.”

Just sayin': With his weight issues, he's what you would call "a project".
