2026 OH DL Jamir Perez is a Buckeye!!!

I don't think Perez is good enough to have that type of leverage.

And the fact that he's still going to take all of his OVs(and even take multiple unofficials to OSU in season) shows this one is far from over. I think this was a young kid who was excited over his 1st big school visit and jumped the gun
Relatively speaking he has secured a spot. Can’t blame the young man for that.

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

I’ve been hating those bastards for over 50 years now. I’m don’t think they will ever get to an acceptance phase.

They can stay irrational longer than anyone not named @BB73 can stay alive.
The denial "phase" has been nearly perpetual for them. There better be a damn good reason for how long this is taking. @Zurp brings up a great point, the NCAA is taking their pretty ass time to issue their ruling and punishment. I hold out hope that the wait will be worth it, I am just feeling like it won't be. Kick these cheating bitches to the moon, teams like OSU, USC, etc. have had to endure that and now it is the skunk weasels turn.

I read weird commitments as negotiating leverage in the NIL era.

Might not always be the case but I’d be willing to bet it’s the cause more often than not.

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

The COI hearing is June 6-7 with the decision being handed down sometime in mid to late July. Relax.
I've been relaxing for 18 months.
The NCAA made up their minds within a week when Cam Newton was in trouble.
The NCAA made up their minds within 8 months when Ohio State was in trouble.
The NCAA made up their minds within 8 months when Penn State was in trouble.
C'mon, NCAA. Chip chop chip.

(Then they later decided they did the Penn State thing wrong, so they reversed themselves.)
Alright, fine, I'll relax.. but this better be worth it.

Indianapolis Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay dies at 65

newspress-collage-3etnxrh97-1747874791277.jpg


Colts owner Jim Irsay, who had led the team since 1997 and presided over one of the storied franchise's greatest eras, died Wednesday. He was 65.

"We are devastated to announce our beloved Owner & CEO, Jim Irsay, passed away peacefully in his sleep this afternoon," Colts chief operating officer Pete Ward said in a statement released by the team. "Jim's dedication and passion for the Indianapolis Colts in addition to his generosity, commitment to the community, and most importantly, his love for his family were unsurpassed."

Irsay is survived by his daughters Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson; his ex-wife and his daughters' mother, Meg Coyle; and 10 grandchildren.

Irsay-Gordon, his eldest daughter, is seen as the most involved in team operations and took her father's place during his NFL suspension in 2014 after his DWI arrest.

"We were deeply saddened to learn of Jim Irsay's passing today. Jim was a friend, and a man deeply committed to his family, the game, the Colts, and the Indianapolis community," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "He led with integrity, passion and care for the Colts' players, coaches and staff, and his courageous work in support of mental health will be a lasting legacy. ... On behalf of the entire NFL, I extend my heartfelt condolences to Jim's daughters and their families, and to his many friends throughout the NFL."

LGHL Ohio State dishes out handful of new offers on Wednesday, emerging for 2026 QB target

The Buckeyes stay busy on the recruiting trail offering a handful of new names in the current and future cycles.

When it comes to the 2027 class at wide receiver, Ohio State couldn’t be off to a better start.

Brian Hartline has already snatched up the top-ranked player at the position thanks to Huber Heights Wayne product Jamier Brown as the trend of landing the top receivers continues. The No. 6 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite has been committed since November 2024, and while he’d be enough for most classes to be excited about, on Wednesday Hartline was out looking for more.

Making a stop in Indiana, one of the latest offers to be extended was to Lawrence North’s Monshun Sales. A 6-foot-5, 195 pound receiver, Sales is ranked just one spot below Brown as the No. 14 player nationally and second best receiver per the 247Sports Composite.

With 30-plus schools already in the fold, Sales holds offers from the likes of Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Miami, Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, and several others. Ohio State now officially entering this race, you have to imagine Hartline’s track record immediately gives the Buckeyes an edge, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s just one state away.

As it’s been seen time and time again, when Hartline zeros in on a player, he tends to get what he wants. It won’t be a shock to see him go all in for Sales, who poses a ton of ability. His frame alone is a dream for any coach looking to stretch the field. Getting him to campus in the very near future will be the next mission, but plan on hearing this name often moving forward.


#AGTG After a great conversation with @brianhartline I am blessed to receive an offer from @OhioStateFB ‼️‼️@coach_mal @CoachMillz_ @CoachKelich @IAMCOACHWILSON pic.twitter.com/P7lpLHFNwC

Keeping with the receiver position, Hartline continued a busy Wednesday when he sent out an additional offer to California native, Quentin Hale. Taking to his social media to share the latest, Ohio State joins a list of nearly 20 schools to be in the mix including Arizona State, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, USC, Washington, and a host of others.

Another longer prospect, Hale checks in at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds and grades out as the No. 70 player nationally and 13th best receiver per the 247Sports Composite.

Typically adding at least three receivers in each class, seeing these new offers go out shows Hartline’s desire to have things rolling sooner rather than later to join the aforementioned Brown. With these major recruiting weeks coming up in June, the Buckeyes are going to be bringing in elite players seemingly each day, so seeing these newly offered players making the trek to campus should be in the works.

Moving to the defensive side of the ball, one of the Ohio State staffers that has been as impressive as it gets is linebackers coach, James Laurinaitis. Proving his worth both on and off the field, top prospects in the 2026 class are taking notice of his development, but he’s also taking time to work on the 2027 class. Wednesday gave way to one of his most recent offers when California native Isaiah Phelps received the good news.

A 6-foot-1, 200 pound athlete, Phelps is currently the No. 254 player nationally and 16th best linebacker per the 247Sports Composite for his cycle. Another impressive offer list of 20-plus schools, Phelps has Auburn, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas, and USC among others interested.

Simply put, it’s no surprise to see him as highly-touted for his position when it comes to the rankings, and a big reason as to why the Buckeyes are showing their own interest. Recruiting California maybe harder than ever, having the west coast in the Big Ten landscape certainly doesn’t hurt Ohio State’s chances here.

Quick Hits​

  • Still searching for their class of 2026 quarterback commit, the Buckeyes have had no shortage of offers sent out, but are now seeing a potential for prospect Luke Fahey to be a real contender to take that spot. The No. 355 player nationally and 23rd best signal caller per the 247Sports Composite, Fahey has nearly 30 offers to his name. While that doesn’t yet include the Buckeyes, that soon could change.
