Ohio State latest to Offer Fast-Rising 2028 forward

Ohio State has gone ahead and made an offer to one of the fastest-rising wings in the 2028 class.

Neuqua Valley standout Cole Kelly was the recipient of the latest offer from Jake Diebler and staff. Kelly, a standout 6-foot-6 left-handed forward has built a reputation as being one of the top high school players in the state of Illinois. 247 Sports Composite has Kelly listed as the No. 2 player in the state of Illinois, and the No. 38 overall in the 2028 class.

Kelly broke into his high school career with a monster freshman season at Neuqua Valley. He averaged close to 20 points per game and averaging double digit rebounds which ultimately earned him all-state and MaxPreps All-American second-team recognition.

With his size, Kelly is the prototypical modern-day "positionless" wing. He has played four positions in high school to show off his flexibility.

Zach Werenski Sends Clear Message To The Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski is living the high life right now.

In the last 12 months, he's won a Gold Medal, a Silver Medal at 4-Nations, led that tournament in points, won Gold at the World Championships, won the Norris Trophy, and become a new dad. With all that being said, he's still not content.

Werenski appeared on NHL Network yesterday to talk about what a wild ride his life has been in the last year. But he had one clear message.

"I think the one thing I've learned after the World Championships and after the Olympics was just how fun winning is. I obviously haven't had that much success in the playoffs here in the NHL. I want that to change," Werenski said.

He goes on to say, "I had so much fun on those teams (WC & Olympics), and winning anything is fun. I got reminded of that these last 12 months, and I just want more of that."

This isn't the first time he's said this either. He said it last year after the 4-Nations tournament as well. "I'm ready to make the playoffs and be an impact player in it. I don't want to wait too much longer." It's time to listen to him.

Zach Werenski has sent a clear message to the Columbus Blue Jackets that it's time to win. It's time to build a winner around Zach Werenski before it's too late.

With the news yesterday that Detroit Red Wings star and best friend of Werenski, Dylan Larkin requesting a trade out of the Motor City, that could mean a chance for Don Waddell to do something crazy.

I read that as "Do something to get this franchise into the playoffs or I'm out".

And no one can blame him. I posted something similar back in January.

That said - his best friend is Zach Werenski.

If the CBJ aren't immediately backing up the brinks truck for Werenski after the past two seasons (he should have won the Norris last year too), I don't think they'll ever do it.

And Larkin is making himself available. Go get him Don.

The Memorial (Jack's Tourney)

Guess you gotta have the gold to make the rules. Or be part of things. Guess will look into buying a day pass next year. Knew a couple of people that were members, but at my age, they'll either have gone away, or don't care anymore. Same at Scioto. In grad school ('76), was told that people were leaving Muirfield as the course was 'too hard' to play/enjoy. Certainly from the tips would imagine, but probably from the more forward tees as well. And, to put all my cards on the table, my game isn't as strong as once was. Try to play whichever tees top out around 6,000 yards. Anyway, have attended several pro events in Northern California, so am looking forward to walking Jack's course. PS, on another note, can anyone tell me about the CC of Dublin? Looks to be right across the street from Muirfield. Thanks in advance.
The one across the street from Muirfield is The Country Club at Muirfield Village. Now there is another golf course just South of US33 called The Golf Club of Dublin.

The Country Club At Muirfield Village Membership Cost​

Now I'm not a golfer and the only thing I know about The Golf Club of Dublin is:
1. I pass it on my way to my daughter's house and it looks pretty nice.
2. I can see one of greens from by daughter's front porch.
3. It appears to have a lot of water hazards.
4. It has to be a lot less expensive compared to The Country Club at Muirfield.
