Well, I'd take someone like Oscar, a long range sharpshooter from Brazil (?) He was knocking down everything he threw up. It's been a bit of time though folks. One of the Olympics I believe.

Oscar Schmidt, yep from Brazil. He actually played in 5 Olympics and still holds the career Olympics scoring record with 1,093 points In 38 games (28.8 avg).

He averaged 42.3 ppg at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Friedl and Hayes get back-to-back hits, and you'd think that would be the entire statement. But it's not. Elly then hits... into a double play to end the inning.

Elly seems to be hitting the same wall that he did last season when he wouldn't take the day off. Hits are way down and the errors up the past several weeks. Can't remember the last time he got a hit from the left side of the plate.

I find it impossible to sit here and notice the imperfections of one of the two legit MLB position players on the roster.

Elly and Sal, whatever...they are ball players. No worries about either one.

The rest are in contention for Mr. Red

Thanks MPhillips. Read your quote, and came away a tad confused. The NCAA throws around 'all athletes' like dishwater, but only quotes football players. Then crabsteps to disallow seniors from the '5 to play 5' rule. Not lawyer enough to follow the twists, turns, and switchbacks to make sense. However, it 'seems' like the 'no senior' rule can/will be protested against, so maybe Jesse can get one more? Especially scratch my head ove players NOW in the NFL suing to rejoin their (or 'a') college team. Thought once you took the kings shilling, you belonged to the king? Or once you took a pro dollar (in that sport), you were banned from playing 'amateur' sports in that sport. Now with the murky waters of NIL, that might not be the case anymore. Are our colleges giving these NIL recipients a course in handling money? Remind them that they have to pay income taxes on their newly gained loot? Here's hoping that some of these non-football players get one more bite of the apple.

2026 tOSU Offense Discussion

ScriptOhio

WHAT DO YA GOT?! Christian made another interesting comment on Wednesday — I told you! He’s quotable! This one was about Ohio State’s offense under new coordinator Arthur Smith.

“I think there’s just plays off plays off plays,” Christian said. “We’ll set you up one way and then come back. It looks the same, but it’s a different play.”

I attended Ohio State’s first three practices and can concur: There’s a lot of misdirection (I understand the offense has evolved from practice three to practice 13). There’s also a lot of motion. Jeremiah Smith starts as an H-back, then motions to the slot. Bo Jackson starts out wide and motions into the backfield. Nate Roberts is in a two-point stance, then steps forward and puts his hand in the dirt.

There’s enough happening to keep a defense on its heels before, during and after the snap — even for a unit led by Matt Patricia.

“I was talking to Payton (Pierce) about it. I was like, ‘Hey, man, what do you see in the middle? Is this confusing?’ He was like, ‘Man, I don’t know how defenses are gonna stop this,’” Christian said.

Christian Alliegro said something similar on Thursday.

“I don’t want to say he’s schemin’ us up in practice, but it feels like he is,” Alliegro said of Smith’s offense. “He’s got a lot of good plays under his belt. He’s super smart. And when you have a quarterback like Julian Sayin, you can really do whatever with that offense. And obviously, all the talent we have outside and inside with our running backs, receivers and O-line. It’s really good.”

I mean, sheesh.

That reminds me of how Patricia operated last season. Even in the season opener against Texas, Patricia made it look like the Buckeyes were throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Heisman frontrunner Arch Manning, only to run basic sets that relied on athletes like Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs and Kayden McDonald to make plays.

If we see something similar from Arthur Smith — with him disguising the offense’s intentions and leaning on Julian Sayin, Jackson, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State’s many playmakers — then ooooooh wee, the Buckeyes’ offense could provide plenty of fireworks this fall. Count me in.

Maybe I’m not looking in the right places but there is no where that says this guy averaged 16 and 9 in Spain’s top Liga.

He played for a team that competes in that league but only made the squad/participated in 2 games - when they were playing in the much smaller Europe Cup (B squad basically).

He had 14 pts, 12 reb in one game. Then 4 pts, 2 reb the other vs some low level teams.

His most prominent playing time is 49 games in the Argentinian League (2024/25) where he averaged 7 and 3.

Seems like the Buckeye beat is hyping this up but it’s just another body to me.

  • In 2025-26, he played on UCAM’s top team and averaged 18.4 points and 9.6 rebounds per game and shooting nearly 60 percent from the floor
  • He played the 2024-25 season with Argentina’s most successful club team, Atenas de Córdoba, he helped lead the team to an appearance in the final four of the South American Basketball Champions League while averaging 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

QB1 Will Howard (National Champion, Pittsburgh Steelers)

Will came out on his 2nd drive and was looking sharp. Had a nice gain on an 18 yard dig w/ levels - set the pass pro and everything.

Doesn't identify the crosser cut, throws a bad INT and now he's being a bit timid pushing the ball downfield on his current drive.
Hate to see that. Hoping he can gut out a roster spot. Dude throws a really pretty ball and has flashed some surprising pocket acumen tonight.
