Edge Carter Kessler says he’s set a commitment date for 9/28 and visits WVU on 9/27. Loves OSU and grew up a fan. I doubt OSU will be offering him this weekend as the relationship just started. Hopefully they convince him to hold off on a commitment and wait things out.

Birm also said the staff likes his senior film but "there may be some academic hurdles to clear" with Kessler.

QB1 Julian Sayin (National Champion)

Fast Fact: Julian Sayin hasn't thrown a back that bad hot the ground in almost two weeks.

In fact, he hasn't thrown an uncatchable ball since the season has started! Could end up breaking every accuracy record OSU and the B1G has ever had considering his start. Consistency is now his major obstacle.

Game Thread Ohio at #1 tOSU, Sat. Sept. 13th, 7 ET on Peacock


Look out, Rufus. Brutus wants revenge.

The last time Ohio University came to Columbus in 2010, its mascot infamously ambushed Brutus during the Buckeyes' runout, sparking one of the wildest pregame moments in college football history. Now, nearly 15 years later, the Bobcats return to the Shoe — and Brutus has been waiting a long time for payback.

On Saturday, Buckeye Nation won't just see an in-state clash; they'll see a showdown layered with mascot lore. Ohio State handled its business on the scoreboard back then, and the Buckeyes will look to do the same this time — while Brutus keeps an eye out for any sneak attacks from his feline foe.

LB Coach James Laurinaitis (2x B1G DPOY, 2006 Nagurski, 2007 Butkus, 2008 Lott, 3x All-American, OSU HOF, National Champion)

The adage is that stars can't coach and there's more than a lot of truth to that. The best coaches are usually backup or (See Day, Ryan) small school QBs, not QB1s. Stars who can coach are outliers and it's statistically absurd that we have three who were Buckeye star players who are now kicking ass as coaches and not just on the recruiting side, but developing the talent they're bringing in which, of course, brings in more.
Jim Tressel was that dude I think ...

It lets you stockpile Ohio OL, who clearly have magical powers. Rather than spending all of your war chest on one high school OT that has been blocking 200 lb future lacrosse players.

as every wanna be recruiting expert looks at the film and comments on his mean streak...

Just at first pass, the 105 thing is going to help the Iowa's of CFB a lot more than the elite teams (depending on $).

Gives the smaller guys the chance to stockpile more 3 star developmental projects and spreading the wealth with that type of guy isn't that big a deal (it would seem).

Big guys OTOH, could use it as a chance to develop their own extra 20 projects if they can offset the rev share dilution with NIL money for the rest of the roster. Then again, the big guys may not want to even bother with all the work you have to put into an extra 20 guys every year just to maybe hit on 20-30% of them. Those teams just go get new talent from the portal (after the Iowa school develops them :lol:)

I don't know. I hope it works in a way that gets more HS kids a roster spot/an old fashioned scholarship. That much I do know.

the golf thread

Would be great if you were able to double down on your bets for the back nine, and make some money. Have had a few days like that, so fortunately you were able to finish on a high note, and that's what keeps bringing you back to the course....
Was playing in a club Ryder Cup style event. Lost our ass on the front but made it respectful by the end.

It’s really important for people to remember that next year schools can have up to 105 scholarship players. Obviously an extra (20) scholarships from the current 85 limit.

Many schools are already at 35+ commits in anticipation of this.

I just don’t think OSU has interest in bringing that many freshmen in….I truly think it’s kind of a waste of everyone’s time and resources. Especially when a revenue share of TV money ($20M) will be split amongst the roster.

I’m interested to see how it plays out but the #9 recruiting class doesn’t bother me a single bit if the players coming in fit the culture….
