Years ago when I was called in I was sitting in the jury selection and the defendant, who was already in prison and the most evil and ugliest fuck I'd ever seen in my life, kept turning around and glaring at the potential jurors as they was asked various questions. Didn't get selected but I'm sure he got the chair.

I see it the other way. The youngest brother of a a hyper competitive, athletic alpha type family is usually a freaking nightmare (in a good way) as a player themselves even if they aren't the most talented of the bunch (think Boren clan)

Woody help everybody if the little brother may be the most physically gifted because he's guaranteed to have the drive and that extra little brother chip.

To validate. Im the youngest of my huge family. When I was a kid I was in a fight couple streets away and the dads stood around watching. I overheard one say ‘dayumm that kid is an animal” the other said “ yeah, he’s tired of getting his ass beat every day at home so he couldn’t wait to take it out on somebody else “

Add to that having the genes of MHsr and also the ability to pick the brain and learn from a NFL HOFer. Along with learning from older bro who to succeed in the same offense he did in college. Im sure similar to Joey working with Nick before he got to OSU which gave him a massive early leg up

Hope everyone can see this. The kid is long and is explosive. 39 inch vertical is no joke. I'm sure DGG's recruitment has a lot to do with his offer, but Jordan has some tools and we know our program takes pride in it's ability to develop.

One can never underestimate the impact of an older sibling. Not wanting to compete head-to-head with his/her legacy. "If only you were more like your brother", certainly stings. Or "work harder, we'll make you as good as your brother". Even innocuous comments can hurt.

I wonder what's worse, being compared to your older sibling or your parent

This will come down to DOG'S relationship to the coaches and to the team. Right now the offers are near identical, both will put him in the NFL, both are big time programs.

But imo, I think Lock has gotten very close with the family. Im not sure how often the RB coach for UT visiting his family in Canada, but I know Lock has multiple times. The family has spoken highly of him and trusting their son with him. That goes a long way

Ohio State insider shares intriguing insinuation on 5-star WR's visit

A 2027 5-star receiver's visit could have an impact on a key Ohio State Buckeyes recruiting decision.

Ohio State insider shares intriguing insinuation on 5-star WR's visit​

Now, though, with Edmunds in Columbus, many are thinking that there's a stronger chance than before that Edmunds will follow through with his commitment. Cleveland.com's Andrew Gillis called Brown's presence during Edmunds' visit interesting. That in and of itself is interesting.

"For a five-star receiver, there’s no drama when it comes to Brown. ... He’s locked into Ohio State, has shut down his commitment, and will come to Columbus in a few months as one of the best receivers in the country. This official visit weekend is just a formality for him, and he’ll interestingly join Edmunds," Gillis wrote.

Brown, unlike Edmunds, has been steady in his desire to attend the Ohio State University to continue playing football. In May, as Edmunds was inviting other schools to give him a reason to flip, Brown assured everyone that the Buckeyes were the only team in his mind.

“Time is just too close to just be playing around,” Brown said. “I know where I want to go, and it’s Ohio State. I really just don’t see no point in my going anywhere else. ... My recruitment’s been shut down for a minute. I just haven’t made it public. ... Me and coach (Ryan) Day had a conversation...I can’t wait to be up there and be great."

Maybe Brown is there to enforce the attitude Edmunds should've had all along. While every player has every right to treat the sport like a business, there are real consequences to doing so in the locker room. Edmunds getting right with his future teammates is important as a quarterback.

Jamier Brown could establish himself as a heroic Buckeye before ever playing a game​

If Brown could help Edmunds realize there's nowhere else to be, we're talking about a 5-star recruit who is also a 5-star recruiter. We're also talking about someone who should have all tabs picked up in the greater Columbus metro indefinitely.

Edmunds, at six-foot-five, has the physical tools to do damage at every level. He's an accurate passer who could see an even higher percentage of his passes caught with an elite receiving corps, as he'd/he'll have in Central Ohio.

That the Buckeyes are seemingly bringing out the big guns to keep him on board proves his value. Edmunds is not someone the team wants to go down on record losing to a much inferior Big Ten program.

Brown's work this weekend will bring him a potential star QB for the future, but should also keep him on Ryan Day, Mark Pantoni, and probably a few important boosters' good sides. That's a great place to be on one of college football's most prestigious and built-to-last teams if you're Brown heading into signing day.

Thats very interesting, because I see OSU still having leverage in the Edmunds recruitment. And its always seemed that OSU was pushing him away more than him wanting out. I think to keep Edwards it would mainly take Fessler and Day sitting him down and having an honest convo. Brown certainly helps on the player side because im sure he wants a relationship with his QB. But it'll come down the coaches making a hard decision

A bit out of date (ten years, to be exact), but as of 2016 there were at least two.

Kansas: By my count, the State of Kansas has sent only two players to Columbus - junior college transfer Jamie Sumner, who started at guard for a couple of years, and little-used lineman Mark Bean. Sumner gets the nod.

Chambliss, Arch headline QBs at 30th annual Manning Passing Academy. See who else is attending.​

This will be a special year for the camp, which starts Thursday and concludes June 28. The MPA will celebrate its 30th year of operation and will welcome more than 1,300 campers, 120 coaches and 40 college quarterbacks to Nicholls State University for the four-day aerial bacchanalia. ESPN and Omaha Productions will be in town to document the landmark occasion.

“Thirty years is hard to imagine,” the elder Manning said. “When we started it, we just thought we’d have a nice little regional camp, a Louisiana-Alabama-Mississippi kinda thing. We never imagined it would turn into what it is today.”

This year’s camp will again feature a roster of elite college quarterbacks. Among the top names scheduled to attend are seven of Pro Football Focus’ top-11 returnees for the 2026 season: Julian Sayin (No. 1, Ohio State), Arch Manning (No. 3, Texas), Trinidad Chambliss (No. 4, Ole Miss), CJ Carr (No. 5, Notre Dame), Jayden Maiava (No. 6, USC), Noah Fifita (No. 10, Arizona) and Gunner Stockton (No. 11, Georgia).

Other top QBs committed include Steve Angeli (Syracuse), Bear Bachmeier (BYU), CJ Bailey (NC State), Ryan Browne (Purdue), Kevin Jennings (SMU), Kyle Lowe (Southeastern Louisiana), Owen McCown (Texas-San Antonio), Alberto Mendoza (Georgia Tech), Drew Mestemaker (Oklahoma State), Marcel Reed (Texas A&M), Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (California), Kamario Taylor (Mississippi State), Conner Weigman (Houston) and Demond Williams (Washington).

“I don’t think there’s ever been as many good college quarterbacks as there are this year,” Manning said. “We had more requests than we could honor.”

As usual, there were a few high-profile withdrawals or declines. Brendan Sorsby recently decided to cancel his plans to attend the camp after he became embroiled in an eligibility controversy at Texas Tech...... Sorsby announced this week that he plans to bypass his final year of college and enter the supplemental NFL draft.

The camp again will serve as a family reunion for the Manning clan. A third generation of Mannings — the children of Cooper, Eli and Peyton — have become regulars..... Marshall Manning, a precocious eighth grader at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will attend as a camper. May Manning, Cooper’s daughter, works the camp as a marketer for Excel Sports Management. Charlie Manning, Eli’s only son, is still a few years away from attending, Archie said.

“The camp is always one of my favorite times of the years because I get to see my boys and my grandkids,” Archie said. “In 30 years, none of them has ever missed a single minute or left before the camp is over. That means a lot to me.”

I just got summoned for Federal Jury Duty, I was supposed to report this coming Monday, but got an email last night that its been rescheduled for July 13 - curious to see what happens

I was summoned to fed duty a couple of years ago. Had to call in each evening to see if there was anything on the docket for the next day. Two weeks I believe was the duty to call. Nothing was ever docketed, so I guess it will be years before I might be called again.

Never was called for jury duty while living in Ohio. Since moving to Broward County, Florida, I have been summoned 4 times in 20 years. Of the 4, only once was I pooled and sat for selection. Did not get seated and glad because the case called for sequestering the jury and the trial was to start in late November. The case lasted 2 1/2 weeks as I recall.

Just sayin': The guy dives (basically) head first 3 stories high into a table/ground and has no injuries. That has to be fake.

Remember the case, just didn't know the 'rest of the story', so thanks Script. Wasn't he teammates with Tiger at Stanford? Seem to recall there was a connection somewhere.

Folks, the HS bar has been raised. Sounds like a university-quality Learning Center. Best of luck with that. We'll see how many Akron kids transfer to Hoban. Or maybe they allow outsiders in for a fee?

When you've lost a lead, and the other team seems to be pulling away, it's whether you knuckle down and start grinding, or stand around and wait for your shower, that is telling on a program. Guess we'll see if Diebs can get the commitment and the effort to make come backs like we want to see, enough to win those tough games. Am encouraged by the uptick in talent, certainly, so let's hope. Go Bucks!

It was a big week in Ohio State basketball land, with 2027 five-star guard LJ Smith announcing that he was reclassifying to the 2026 class and enrolling at Ohio State for the fall. He joined the team this week for practice, and is expected to finish up the necessary coursework this summer to get his high school degree and start college classes this fall.

While the 17-year old is not expected to lock down a starting role this season, he gives Ohio State another talented backcourt piece, and has (maybe) the highest overall ceiling of anyone on the 2026-27 roster.

Here's a fun story... years back a Hoban alumni wanted to make a $500K donation to Hoban's golf program but wanted a golf-specific facility involved. Hoban did not have one and they told the alum. They told the alum to build a facility with the ultra hi tech he wanted would be $2M. He wrote the check. It's one of, if not THE best golf facility in Ohio HS. Once again, Ohio HS Champs

Click to expand...

With a generous contribution from an alumnus benefactor, Hoban has completed construction of the Terry Nolan ’65 Golf Learning Center. The 2,400 square-foot building houses two Trackman golf simulators and a putting and chipping area, and stands as a perfect complement to the Didado Family Health and Fitness Center. The new facility offers several benefits to the golf teams: they can practice year-round, Trackman provides detailed performance analysis, access to tour players' videos as instructional tools and also allows for the students to play many outstanding virtual courses.

The Terry Nolan ’65 Golf Learning Center is located on the west side of campus. Parking is available on the expressway side of the building or in the west ("V") lot.

My brain may be foggy, but cannot recollect that tOSU has had any player from Kansas on its football team.

Well, why not? No limit on number of schollies, and more finite than buying a house, or securing his father a high-paying job.

Kinda feel like am reading a book, and a thriller at that. Keep turning the pages, waiting to see new plots within the story. Sometimes just a lot of filler, but then, boom. A new twist and turn. Wish I could skip to the last chapter to see how this tale plays out. Guess will just have to keep reading. To be continued.
