Oh, look at Texas Tech cowering now and pretending like they were put into a difficult position and had no choice but to act like a bunch of twats due to their predicament. Like it wasn’t entirely of their own doing.

This is what happens when you punch a fake-ass wannabe bully in the mouth. They back down and beg for leniency. Maybe we should try that more often instead of always letting the loud-mouth cocksuckers win?

Ohio State basketball team becomes major contender after 5-star recruit reclassifies​

The Ohio State basketball program got some great news after a five-star recruit decided to join the Buckeyes for 2026.

Five-star Ohio State recruit LJ Smith reclassifies to the 2026 recruiting class
Smith has made the decision to come to Columbus a year early. That gives the Buckeyes a massive amount of help in the backcourt, as he is a combo guard. Ohio State is without Bruce Thornton, so they need help at the guard spot in a big way, even though they added some transfers.

With Smith on board, the starting lineup becomes a little murkier for the Buckeyes. Initially, it was thought that Justin Pippen would be the point guard next to John Mobley Jr. With Smith added to the roster, there's a chance that he can compete for the starting point guard spot.

Regardless of whether or not he starts, Smith is going to get a lot of playing time next season. He stands at 6'4 and 180 pounds, so he has a lot of size. That will help, since Mobley Jr. is a small guard. Smith is also someone who can create his own shot, which is something Ohio State struggled with last year.

Ohio State should be a contender to finish towards the top of the Big Ten
This is great news for Diebler, as he gets to add a premier talent to the roster a year earlier than expected. However, that also means increased expectations for the Ohio State basketball team. Before, they were expected to finish in the top half of the league and make the NCAA Tournament again.

Now, the expectations have gone up. Adding Smith should make the Buckeyes a top-four team in the Big Ten. It also means they should get to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, at the very least. Anything less than either of those finishes for Ohio State will be considered a disappointment.

So a TT fan thinks because he didn’t gamble at TT he should’ve been ok to play. If they can’t freaking see that it’s bad for a player to gamble then I don’t know what to tell them.

Thankfully this guy is going pro. He tried to come back but the push back was so universal and unanimous that he couldn’t chance it. Screw this kid, he didn’t go pro because it was the correct thing to do. He went pro because he couldn’t afford to gamble his future. So it’s ironic that once again he bet on himself.

Good freaking riddance.

As for TT, no one will forget this bull shit. You had the chance to do right but buckled down. Enjoy spending 40+ mil for a 8-4 team.

Holy balls. I'm a little worried actually, trying not to be overly optimistic.

Is this the best roster now since the Thad 5?
Click to expand...
I would say it is the deepest team they've had in a long time. The 2012 team that made the Final Four was tough, I'm skeptical that these guys will be on that level. The only question-marks are physicality and efficiency. The past great teams they had, there was always at least one guy who performed at a professional level & while they have elite talent, they need these 5-stars to come in and live up to the hype.

Texas Tech Red Raiders (sponsored by BET365)

Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux

The league filed a federal lawsuit Monday in the Northern District of Texas seeking both a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief to allow the league the authority to use its bylaws to potentially punish Sorsby. The filing seeks: "A declaratory judgment that the First Amendment protects the Conference's right to invoke its authority under its Bylaws to sanction [Texas Tech] related to its handling of the sports betting activity discussed in this Complaint, including if TTU fields a student-athlete in Big 12 competitions who has engaged in collegiate sports betting activity."

The Big 12's federal suit includes a request for an injunction to allow the league to enforce its own rules. At the heart of this is Big 12 Bylaw 3.6, which allows the league via a supermajority vote to decide whether Texas Tech's conduct warrants sanctions.

The suit seeks to bar Texas Tech from "seeking to deter, coerce, prevent, or punish the Big 12 for exercising its rights under its Bylaws to sanction TTU related to its handling of the sports betting activity discussed in this Complaint, including if TTU fields a student-athlete in Big 12 competitions who has engaged in collegiate sports betting activity."

https://www.espn.com/college-footba...es-suit-vs-texas-tech-texas-ag-brendan-sorsby

In short, the Big 12 desires the potential to punish Texas Tech for planning to play Sorsby. Let that soak in. The Big 12 is not punishing Cincinnati for actually playing Sorsby because he gambled while playing at their institution. They want to punish Texas Tech because Sorsby gambled while playing at Cincinnati and Indiana. How can Texas Tech ever have confidence that the Big 12 Conference will act in its best interest, if it punishes TTU for the (in their words) "unethical behavior" that happens at other schools that are in the same conference?

I have been an avid supporter of the Big 12 Conference and its leadership. I do not think Texas Tech is too good for the Big 12 Conference. However, I now feel the Big 12 Conference is not good enough for Texas Tech or the other schools. The Big 12 Conference is supposed to support its institutions, and help them and their athletes succeed and compete in college athletics. However, it has now shown a bias towards schools in its own conference by not punishing Cincinnati for its actual conduct, and instead pursuing intent to punish another school (Texas Tech) for the same potential conduct.

Sorsby never gambled while playing in a game at Texas Tech. Texas Tech suspended Sorsby immediately after being alerted to the NCAA's ongoing investigation into Sorsby's gambling. Texas Tech declared Sorsby ineligible and send him to rehab for a diagnosed gambling addiction. Texas Tech declared Sorsby ineligible. Texas Tech asked the NCAA to reinstate Sorsby's egibility (and later appealed), to which the NCAA declined both. Sorsby then filed suit against the NCAA, to with an independent judge with no ties to Texas Tech granted an injuction that Sorsby would suffer "probable, imminent and irreparable injury" if he was barred from playing. Therefore, the Big 12 Conference is asking for the ability to punish Texas Tech if Sorsby plays football in accordance to this ruling. It does not show "unlawful" conduct for Sorsby to remain an active player before his court hearing in February 2027. In fact the opposite is true. The Big 12 Conference is requesting Texas Tech go against the ruling of a judge and against the law, in a rogue fashion and at the whim of the conference, to appease public opinion.

I was amazed how that room sounds. Streetlight is 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 drummer, 2-3 saxophones, 1 trombone and 1 trumpet. In a crap room (I’m looking at you Aragon Ballroom in Chicago), it just turns in to a mush of sound. The Mission was loud but every instrument was clear as a bell. I’m a fan (of the room).

Skull Session: Marcus Fakatou Shares a Behind-the-Scenes Look of His Ohio State Official Visit, Chris Henry Jr. Looks Juiced After an Offseason in Mick Marotti’s Strength Program

Marcus Fakatou shares a behind-the-scenes look of his Ohio State official visit, and Chris Henry Jr. looks shredded after an offseason in Mick Marotti's strength program.

BODY BY MICK. I mentioned Mick Marotti's strength program earlier. Here's a glimpse of what it can do for a player who attacks the weight room and takes advantage of Ohio State's nutrition program:

Henry had four catches for 96 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's spring game on April 18. Less than two months later, he appears to have added some good weight and plenty of muscle definition.

In other words, the man is looking yoked.

That should be an unsettling development for Ohio State's 2026 opponents.
