Shouldn't LSU have Deepwater Horizon be in there somewhere?

I'm very curious what position he'll play.. LB? RB? DE?
What I do know.. he's a football player with immense heart and grit

Looks like a LB to me, his size and tangibles reminds me of Steele Chambers, who played both equally as well in HS

I would throw whatever money I could at Honor Fa’slave-Johnson. Elite safety and insane speed for returns.

Same on Honor, reminds me a bit of Ransom on film and he was one of my favorites here. Big time target.

Gotta admit, Coach J still looks good.......regardless of his advancing age. And, am betting that his mind is still agile. Couple that with the big block O on his shirt, and a decent amount of NIL cash, and he's still a draw to the University of Ohio State.....(tongue in cheek).

No joke! He looks younger than when he got here. I guess a PSU scandal would age a man. Looking great out there on the recruiting trail, kicking the tires on some big national names on the DL.

Maybe they could talk Bruce and the E Street Band into doing a charity concert in their Stadium. Oh, wait. 52K seats isn't going to cut it.

When my middle child was accepted to Rutgers, all my Ohio friends were gaga that she was going to an Ivy League school
Amusing the number of Manhattan execs are Rutgers grads

When she was there they were the studs of the Big East
When I'd go to a few games, Buckeye football scores were always on their scoreboard flashes and announcements
I was also amused how many kids wore OSU gear on campus.. 2nd only to Rutgers.. that has changed
She was mortified when they entered B1G... "oh shit, we're going to play Ohio State.. WTF"

while we wait on @Bucklion to officially confirm his return as team #12 are there any rules that people want changed or looked into?

Rutgers has an endowment north of $2 billion.

Big Ten is giving them $70M/year now for nothing and they’ve managed to be a half billion in the hole since joining.

And I bet Feldman just said something as a joke, and some shitty AI bot decided it needed an 800 word article about it.

Feldman is a remarkably classy and measured individual.

Bruce said this to James L
I was like, 'I talked to guys there, and your strength coach didn't put him out there."

Meaning, huh, I would have thought he would hype someone this unique. There is zero story here.


Also, if the strength coach is the marketing cheerleader, OSU is in trouble.

HS kids will have to learn that unless you’re game changing you aren’t making shit and you’d better stay put for years 1-2. Years 3-5 is where all the money is going.

As was pointed out. If these kids don’t adjust they’re going to end up out of football by the age of 20. I wonder what long term impact this will have on kids.

So they're saying Marotti should have hyped him like Texas hyped Manning to make sure he won the Heisman?
Without the hype Feldman is saying Reese could be a top 10 pick. If Marotti had hyped Reese more he could probably have risen all the way to a possible top 10 pick.
Feldman's butt hurt because he looked stupid not putting Reese on his Freaks list. What he doesn't understand is Marotti gets paid to turn Reese into a freak, not help Feldman write his article.

Coach shamed for not promoting Ohio State football player well enough​

This coach should have done a better job of promoting his players before the season started.



The Ohio State football program has a collection of great players heading off to the NFL for the 2026 Draft. In fact, the Buckeyes might have as many as four first-round picks in April. All of those players are on the defensive end of the ball. Two of them had plenty of hype coming into the season.

Caleb Downs had the reputation as the best defensive player in the country coming into the year. He was one of the big reasons why the Ohio State Buckeyes were able to win the national championship in 2024. Sonny Styles was also considered one of the best linebackers coming into the year.

Kayden McDonald had a little bit of hype, as well. One player who didn't have much hype outside of Columbus is linebacker Arvell Reese. Reese shot up draft boards and now could be a top-ten draft pick. However, he could have been hyped up more to start the season.

Ohio State coach shamed for not hyping up Arvell Reese​

While speaking on the Ryen Rusillo Show, Bruce Feldman, who does the Freaks List every year, shamed Mickey Marotti for not promoting Reese enough before the season began.

"Arvell Reese was a guy I didn't have on the Freaks List. The day after, or maybe the day it came out, James Laurinaitis, you know Hall of Fame, College Hall of Famer, great linebacker at Ohio State, and the linebackers coach and a guy I've know for a while guilted me into it. He was like, 'What are you thinking?' I was like, 'I talked to guys there, and your strength coach didn't put him out there.' And by like the third game, he had already blown up."

Mickey Marotti is the strength coach in question, and he didn't give Reese any hype coming into the season. Had he talked him up, Feldman could have put Reese on his list and given him some preseason hype. It's not ideal that Marotti isn't properly hyping up his guys.

Really thought that this was going to be Iowa part 2. They were raining in 3's like no tomorrow. Plus, the Buckeyes weren't making 3's in answer. But, as usually is, the 3's dried up, mostly because Wiscy couldn't get the ball upcourt. tOSU's press started working, and the Wiscy was almost near their TO game numbers in the first quarter. Wiscy did hang around for a half, and then the Buckeye talent took over, winning by 20+. When one of our players starts knocking down 3's, good things happen.

Gave up 23 points and were down 9 in the first quarter then held Bucky to 5 points in the 2nd, but only scored 12. That 2nd quarter was some ugly basketball by both teams. 3rd and 4th quarters were much better!
