This "want to be Buckeyes" thing is getting overdone.

It's being used to like a pejorative, as if the kids who take extra money to go elsewhere had a character flaw. It's the same as saying "we didn't want the 5 star guy, give me the 3 star that wants to be here" back in the pre NIL days.

Nonsense. Your coach wanted the talent or he wouldn't have offered and recruited. Same with NIL, if they aren't the right fit, why were we recruiting/bidding in the first place? It's the same kid you were just bidding on before that last dollar amount.

I like a little more self honesty in my coffee. We're losing more and more of these kind of recruits. What's changing, are we changing with it? Etc etc etc. There are near zero rules in this game so it's very fluid. Thinking what you did previously will keep working going forward without fail is a recipe for disaster.

My point to "wanting to be Buckeyes" is more to the fact that its been proven time and time again that OSU hasn't been the highest bidder with most of their recruits. So what would you call the reason for them choosing the Buckeyes if money wasn't it? I think there are still some kids that will take less to go to schools and play in systems that they prefer.

I look at it just as honest as you, but OSU isn't out bidding many teams. And their strategy has continued to be to get the kids who they land(not sure how you want to refer to that), and pay the guys on their roster handsomely who perform. I'm not saying the kids who go elsewhere are in any way poor character, but they are guys who in the end OSU knows won't land. Their offer is their offer, if you turn it down, you didn't want to be a Buckeye, if you take the offer then you want to be a Buckeye.

Skull Session: Brandon Inniss Feels “Blessed” to Start in 2025, Ethan Onianwa Has Much to Prove, and Four Buckeyes Make Sporting News’ Preseason All-American Team​

Entering his junior season in 2025, Inniss knows a lesson John Cena learned 20 years earlier: The Time is Now.

“Mentally, it’s like you have kind of a change of mindset when you’re starting. I said that before, but it’s real. You have a change of mindset,” Inniss said. “It changes your mindset because when you’re a backup — I’ve never been a backup my whole life — so coming in here off the rip, it was already, like, ‘OK, now I’ve got to learn. I’ve got to watch. I’ve got to grow.’

“Now, last year, when Emeka didn’t know he was going to come back for his fourth year, I had to wait another year. Mentally, it’s like, ‘OK, now I’ve got to wait again.’ But I feel like, overall, I’m just in a better place. I’m ready to go.”

Inniss spent the offseason preparing his body for a larger role. He checked in at 6-foot, 199 pounds at the start of preseason camp following a summer in which he set personal bests in every workout and speed test.

“I feel really amazing right now,” Inniss said.

With one shot, one opportunity, Inniss plans to capture it — not let it slip. He’s watched. He’s worked. He’s waited his turn. Now, it’s Inniss’ time to shine.

Ohio State’s Max Klare Nominated for John Mackey Award, Carson Hinzman on Watch List for Rimington Trophy​

With just one more major award watch list set to be released Monday – the Bednarik Award watch list – a dozen Ohio State players have earned placements on award watch lists ahead of the 2025 season. The full list:
  • RB CJ Donaldson: Doak Walker Award
  • S Caleb Downs: Thorpe Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lott IMPACT Trophy, Walter Camp Player of the Year
  • LS John Ferlmann: Mannelly Award
  • C Carson Hinzman: Rimington Trophy
  • DT Eddrick Houston: Outland Trophy
  • CB Davison Igbinosun: Thorpe Award
  • TE Max Klare: Biletnikoff Award, Mackey Award
  • LB Arvell Reese: Butkus Award
  • WR Jeremiah Smith: Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year, Biletnikoff Award
  • LB Sonny Styles: Butkus Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lott IMPACT Trophy
  • WR Carnell Tate: Biletnikoff Award
  • RG Tegra Tshabola: Outland Trophy
How many of these players (if any) do you think will win "an award"?

I'll say Downs and Hinzman have the best chance. Smith and maybe Klare should win too: however, there are too may good receivers on Ohio State which will make it extremely difficult for any one person to put the "gaudy numbers" probably needed to win.

Cleveland Browns (Factory of Sadness)

exhawg
A 5th round pick doesn't get many opportunities so you have to take them when you get them. If he's as good as all the talking heads thought he was before the draft, he'll go out there and play well to earn more opportunities. If he goes out there and looks like an overmatched 5th-round pick, we have some questions answered. Sanders and Gabriel have this season to prove they are the QB of the future or the Browns are making a move in the next draft. As much as I really didn't want the Browns to pick him in the first round I hope he is the guy so they can use the picks next year on upgrades like Downs. 4 years of a 5th round starting QB contract would be fantastic for the rebuild.
