Still shitty.

That’s fair but it just speaks to backwards prioritization and resources. Even just as a program image.

I’m sure he’s not going to make much more than a scholarship + entry level salary but go fill spots 10-13 or whatever in May or June or whenever the portal ends. We sure seem to only get “end of bench spots” that turn into Gabe Cupps getting Big Ten minutes.

Other teams will be hosting difference makers or who knows a potential Big Ten Player of the Year (hello Yaxel) and this is our first swing.

Per 11W, we're talking to this guy: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5175058/devin-vanterpool. UK is as well. Seems like at least a potentially higher-end option to swing at.

I feel bad for a guy like Brown because he's a Columbus local and Ohio State is probably his dream school; he likely is coming in for very little if anything to be a far end depth piece but if that's the first transfer we get people are going to be shitting all over it. We are filling a lot of slots so everyone should chill until the dust settles and the roster is complete.

For sure. OSU fans have gotten very bitter and toxic when it comes to the men's basketball program, some people are just tired of mediocrity and want to burn it all down. Diebler will get criticized by some folks no matter what he does. With like 7 spots to fill, it's not like they only need a couple of guys and can easily fill the spots with a linear process based on the hierarchy of importance. Of course you spend more time working on recruiting the key rotation guys, but as long as it's not seriously taking away from their ability to recruit the playing tier, there's nothing wrong with also recruiting the depth tier at the same time.

In early 2024, the symphony entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Downtown Columbus Inc. and the City of Columbus that called for CSO to have lined up all of the funding commitments needed to build the project by June of 2025. But Flynn described that date as a “placeholder” and said that the funding deadline has now been extended to June of 2027, pushing the overall timeline back two years.

I'd say that's probably worst case scenario. I think he likely goes in the 8-12 range unless there was actual smoke to the physical eval rumors

Burch has been offered by Tennessee.

Welp, Bowling Green is up 4-0 in the 1st and we have still not recorded an out.
