Any guesses on whether OSU having smaller freshman classes will have a ripple effect on other Ohio universities? Basically, will OSU taking fewer kids help some of the other schools bump up their enrollment numbers?

It should. Of course some of them will opt for a branch campus and wait their turn, but there should be some trickle down of more kids who don't get into OSU being available for Fredo, OU, UC and the others. We should actually cut a deal with them to get some things we want in return for freeing up a thousand kids for the system to absorb.

The 9K class was essentially admissions underestimating what our yield would be right after COVID and dipping a bit lower into the applicant pool to compensate. As it turned out, yield held steady so we ended up with an additional thousand kids. Still, the freshman class profile stayed the same--didn't improve but at least held steady. With the drop down to 8300, it once again showed a steady rise. At 7500 or below, we should put some space between us and Wiscy and Illinois lagging only behind Northwestern, tcun, UCLA and USC in admissions selectivity.

I think he'll be much more interested in moving the university forward academically than Slapshot was. I don't blame Slapshot for that 9K freshman class (and he did get it down to around 8300 last year), but that needs to continue. Cut the acceptance rate from 50% to 40% over the next couple of years and get freshman classes into the 7000-7500 range.

The chucklefucks won't give a shit if the teams are winning. But I think that this is a good hire. He won't be a sport jock sniffer, but he needs to know that is what sells the brand nationwide. That is not the most important aspect to his job though. Academics need to be raised up across the board. Focus on what brings in revenue and helps make tOSU a better public University. Rename the medical center (my hot take).

I'm not sure how, but the Schott is in prime real estate territory and needs revamped in some manner. Turn it into another Larkins center for students or similar sports (Make it the ice hockey arena for both teams. And during the offseason, it can be a training center. Switching over from an ice rink to a different floor is a pain in the ass.)

And get something akin to a stand alone basketball/volleyball arena (A new St. John Arena). Concerts can go downtown or to the Newport.

Ohio State Reportedly Hires Longtime NFL Pass Rush Consultant, Taekwondo Instructor Joe Kim to Work With Defensive Line​

Ohio State has added a longtime NFL assistant and renowned taekwondo instructor to its defensive staff.

Joe Kim, who’s worked for 11 different NFL teams as a pass rush consultant and skill development coach, has joined Ohio State’s staff to work with the defensive line, Lettermen Row reported Tuesday.

Kim spent last season at Illinois as the Fighting Illini’s skill development coordinator. He’s the second new assistant to join the Buckeyes from Illinois this offseason, following special teams coordinator Robby Discher from Champaign to Columbus.

Joe Kim’s Coaching History
Years University/Organization Position
2025 Illinois Skill Development Coordinator
2019-24 New England Patriots Director of Skill Development
2018 New England Patriots Pass Rush Consultant
2017 Football Combatives Head Coach/Founder

In addition to more than 30 years of coaching experience at the NFL and collegiate levels, Kim is also a renowned taekwondo instructor. According to his bio from last season at Illinois, Kim “is recognized as one of the most successful taekwondo instructors and coaches in the United States, having produced over 250 black belts as well as several national and international champions.”

Kim, who worked alongside Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia in his last NFL job as the director of skill development for the New England Patriots, received high praise from former Alabama coach Nick Saban during a 2024 episode of ESPN’s College GameDay.

“He teaches players how to attack a source, how to use and read a body position for weakness and strength. He’s the pass-rush guru,” Saban said, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Ohio State Guard Luke Montgomery on Michigan: "Thank Goodness I Didn't Go There"​

"Thank goodness I didn't go there," Montgomery said of Michigan on Tuesday. "Just with what's going on in the past few years. I think (the Wolverines) did a great job recruiting me. I wish them all the best, everyone on that staff and stuff like that. I hope that some of them find the Lord and can come back and be with the people they love. I wish them the best."

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Rich kids like Arthur are often not the sharpest bulb in the shed because they never had to work for anything. No pressure at school to get A's, no reason to do the work it takes to grow as a person. Mike Brown, e.g. Hopefully he'll turn out to be much more effective than Tim Beck, at least.

Stereotype much?

And no, I did not grow up a "rich kid". Didn't live in the "rich" part of town (that would have been Rolling Hills where I went to school). But I did grow up thinking you shouldn't judge people based on their net worth.

Here's a novel concept - How about we see what he does as our OC before reaching any conclusions?
