2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Login to view embedded media Yeah, this has been talked about some during the Portal being open. Big HS classes will be a thing of the past, OSU more than likely only brings in HSers that can contribute by year 2 at best. The rest of the roster will be older transfers. I was going to break this down more in the overall OSU recruiting thread

It’s cheaper to buy development than to hit and miss developing yourself.

Heard an opinion on Morning 5. The 'big' schools may not recruit the 3*'s as heavily, as in the project kids. Apparently the thought is that teams save on NIL, and use for the 'upper' 4/5*s with more/easier (?) developmental potential. And when portal time comes around, recruit those kids that were developed at 'lesser' schools, who have already shown out. Seems solid at first blush. Ohio State, down 31 portal exits, up 20+ portal entries. And total roster seems to be still in upper 80s (around 88 I believe), instead of the 105 (?) NCAA allows. There was 28 in recruiting class, which is above the former max of 25. Know that these above numbers are/were fluid, and seem to change daily. Pantoni may be adding another line to his resume, called something like 'Roster Maximization' or somesuch. Cleaning out the guys that 'haven't grown enough', 'shown enough', 'not going to be relied on' or some euphemism.

PF A'mare Bynum (Official Thread)

Do especially like it as he seems to have sewn up the 4. Allows Noel and Tilly to rotate at the 5, and keep each other fresh. Also lets Devin (at the 3), sometimes crash into the crumb area for rebounds. Devin has the hops to elevate and snatch balls. Unfortunately, don't see much of this happening, as shot goes up, and everyone drops back for D.

And Hartline might still have his pick of WRs, but not the Ohio State scenario to do it with. Can see WRs (better than average), going to USF versus wherever, because Hartline is there, but I don't know how good a team he's got there. Really thought Keinholtz might head there to be QB1, but didn't happen. Guess Hartline needs to build his daisy chain, get a good OL, then a good QB, then the good WRs....or in some other order..

Hartline benefited A LOT from having that Block O on his chest. That bull won't hit the same walking into homes across the country, or even in SoFL now that Miami was just in the NC. He's going to find out quickly how hard it is to coach at the USF level and also get talent that he's accustomed to.
Sorry, back to Blake

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

And as the camera pans along the bench, see the big kid from Baylor sitting there, and wondering when, or if, he's going to earn his NIL this year. Certainly would be a presence in the paint, and maybe a big plus or not. Sounds like we're not going to see/know this year. And looking at the national rankings, the B10 is loaded with ranked teams. My thought is that the 'committee' will look at those rankings, and decide that's enough of the B10, and that the Buckeyes will be left out once again.

Thee Ohio State University News

calibuck
Hadn't heard about Wexner being a guest, frequent or not, to Epstein's island etc. Seems like this was a club that the elite sought invitations to, what with the private island, private jets, upscale accommodations. And when people saw the carrying's on, made their decision whether to party up or disassociate themselves. Really dunno, but certainly, if he was 'on the list' deserves to be subpoenaed. Ord, what exactly are these subpoenas supposed to be proving? Who, Trump, Clinton, Obama etc were engaged with underage girls? Sorry, have lost track. Thanks in advance.....
