Cincinnati Reds (2025 is our year! Haha thats actually funny)


I have tickets for the Speedway Classic game on Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Anyone else plan to be in attendance? Pitching matchup should be Strider for the Braves vs Burns for the Reds. I am geeked to see Burns live and in that environment!

Deion Sanders (HC Colorado, Father of SubPrime)

He’s a clown show, but I think this is pretty awesome. I’m happy for him and his family. Cancer sucks and it impacts all of us.
I am totally on board with him using his platform to let others know about his cancer. If even one person gets checked out as a result of him talking about it then it is a win.

QB Lincoln Kienholz (National Champion)

If memory serves correctly, wasn't Will Howard projected to be the 'manager' of the offense? Not a wunderkind, nor a top 10 draft pick, but someone that could successfully drive the team down the field. He was transfer portal. That turned out pretty well, methinks. Also thought we got Justin Field in the portal (from Georgia). Would imagine that Day would be looking for a Kenny Guiton, or a slew or others that joined the Buckeyes, knowing they'd be career backups at QB. As we all know, a player is just one injury away from starting. Yeah, we need massive experience in the QB room, with all three needing reps to help them develop.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

It is likely that they also shared signs with the Gamecocks for their Clemson game.

They beat playoff contenders back to back immediately after losing to 6-7 Florida by a 32 point margin.
They would have been 6-7 themselves without the cheating.

They beat playoff contenders back to back but lost to every other decent team they played in 2022.

The D wore wristbands for the first (and maybe only time that season). And it was a home game against Tenn. A potential playoff team.
If true and if this was considered as part of the current COI, I don’t know how you don’t burn it down to ashes. Manipulating games you are in by cheating is bad… I am not sure that there’s a word that I can come up with for rigging games of potential opponents. My God…

They should be made to wear a scarlet C on their uniforms for the rest of time.

2025 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments - NCAA: no wins taken away, no postseason ban

*checks notes* I must've been absent that day, where's the connection?
A Tennessee fan named "Sports Talk J" (no relation to Uncle T) has a theory that in 2022 scUM stole Tennessee's signs and gave them to South Carolina so that South Carolina could beat Tennessee thereby knocking the Vols out of the playoff picture and increasing scUM's chances of getting in. As ESPN said in its postgame recap:

"Spencer Rattler had the best day of his unpredictable career, throwing for 438 yards and six touchdowns as South Carolina beat No. 5 Tennessee 63-38 on Saturday night, all but eliminating the Volunteers from the playoffs."

“That was probably the best I've ever felt in a game. I felt unstoppable,” said Rattler, adding he thought it was one of the best wins in college football history.

Here's one of Sports Talk J's earlier podcasts on the matter:

2027 four-star OT Kalel Johnson | via @KJ_Johnson27 on X

The Buckeyes are trending for one of the state’s best recruits in the 2027 class, and an elite WR target will visit Ohio State again.

Ohio State and the entirety of the college football landscape are quickly approaching the start of the 2025 regular season. The summer months have been busy for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes, as the upcoming campaign holds the highest of expectations after Ohio State won the College Football Playoff national championship last season.

With the start of the season quickly approaching, many of the headlines surrounding the Ohio State football team will focus on position battles and the upcoming season, and deservedly so. However, that doesn’t mean recruiting will take a back seat.

Day and the coaching staff are always hitting the recruiting trail head on, whether it be for this year’s recruiting class or future classes. The hard work continues to payoff, as the Buckeyes recently learned they are trending for one of the nation’s top offensive tackles in the 2027 class, who also reigns from Ohio.

2027 four-star offensive tackle Kalel Johnson (Cincinnati, OH / Archbishop Hoban) is no stranger to the Buckeyes. Johnson has made multiple visits with the Buckeyes already and he received an official scholarship offer in April of last year. Ohio State has remained in contact with him following the offer, and the effort is paying dividends as the Buckeyes are quickly becoming the team to beat.

Recently, Ohio State received a Crystal Ball Prediction from 247Sports Ohio State Insider, Bill Kurelic.


Crystal Ball Alert!

Ohio State has received their 2nd Crystal Ball to land Kalel Johnson.

This 2nd CB was made by Greg Smith at ON3. ON3 giving OSU a 99% chance to land him.

Position: Offensive Tackle
Class: 2027
Ranking: #5 Recruit in State of Ohio

Kurelic was not alone in his optimism for the Buckeyes to land Johnson, as Greg Smith of On3.com also submitted a prediction for Johnson to join Ohio State’s 2027 class.

Ohio State’s 2027 class is already shaping up to be another impressive haul, despite the class only having two members. However, the two commits in the Buckeyes’ class for next cycle are four-star athlete Jamier Brown and high-end four-star quarterback Brady Edmunds. Brown projects to be a wide receiver in college, and will likely be one of the top-rated recruits at his position if not the top.

Johnson has not yet announced a final group, let alone a leader in his recruitment, but Tennessee, Penn State, Clemson and Notre Dame seem to be the biggest competition for the Buckeyes. The blue-chip OT will likely schedule visits with the above-mentioned programs during the upcoming season, and with the way recruiting is nowadays, schools will likely add their names to that list or fall off.

Johnson is the No. 22 OT in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and he is the No. 204 national prospect. He is also the No. 4 recruit out of Ohio.

Quick Hits​

  • Ohio State is also hard at work recruiting one of the nation’s top wide receiver recruits in the 2027 class. It is no secret Ohio State and Buckeyes offensive coordinator Brian Hartline are great at recruiting the wide-out position and the team is hoping to have found its next target in five-star WR Monshun Sales.

The blue-chip prospect would make for an excellent addition alongside the aforementioned Jamier Brown and Sales has reportedly scheduled a game day visit with the Buckeyes for this upcoming season.
