Wonder if this extends to other positions, such as a certain CB out of Hoban.

Not sure about the money, but I have not seen any buzz anywhere that OSU is still pursuing him. What I have seen is that they are still chasing others. For example, Fitzpatrick recently mentioned Walton reached out and he was also visiting Odem today.

Also, and I want to emphasize that I'm in no way negative about Bo, the freshman wall is real more often than not. It's not unusual to see guys start the year fast and then fall off as conference games stack. All the more reason to continue to rotate. I don't think we need an RB1 getting 25 carries. We need three who can split carries and get the job done.

Make sure the straps are tight I guess, NTTAWWT ...

Great point, the season is long, and RBs take a fearful pounding. Usually, the WRs and RBs doing get a sniff of the field unless they are doing some blocking. Has he done that yet? (usually not a freshman's strong suit). Anyway, do like his running ability, and it looks like tOSU backfield has some guys that do different things, which will change-up how D's line up, etc.

I think Bo's the bell cow, but chances are we will absolutely need all three guys, I would have to rewatch a bit to get a gauge on his pass blocking, typically young running backs struggle with that, you're on point with that.

Yeah, believe that is a condition of being a 'land grant university'. At Miami, they used a housing shortage as a limiting factor. But there's enough private housing around tOSU campus that doesn't hold water.

How does "I don't care" fit in with any of the rest of that? Dude seems a bit scrambled, as well as unhinged.

Would guess that the TV moguls put WNBA in time slots that do not overlap with bigger paying sports. Do object that many of the season games are now 'pay' games, so has diminished our tv time. The refs are still missing easy calls, and still appears that teams have 'headhunters' that come in and clobber the opposing stars. Usually a coin toss whether flagrants get called.

Shaking in my boots.

Seems to be the 'catch of the day' from the portal. Afterthought to the big guy from Rice, but worked his way into the starting line-up, and in fact worked his magic against one of best DL in country. Looks like he has another year of eligibility as well, after this one.

One watches Caden, and asks, how could this guy not have played last year? Great question, and although all four DL folk got drafted, one still has to wonder how come Caden didn't get more snaps than he actually got. Great college story, however. Anyway, he's making the most of his senior year, and if he keeps going like this, some NFL team is going to get a steal come draft day.

New LB offer Jacob Curry tells Simmons his visit to OSU on 10/4 for the Minn game is an unofficial visit and that “I could even see myself setting up an official visit there.” Also “Coach [James] Laurinaitis is a legendary linebacker coach. He was a great player there and he’s done some great things. They’re the No. 1 team in the nation and it’s a great program.“
Takes his OV to Oklahoma this weekend. It will be his first trip there. If we can get him back for an OV, it’d be huge as we’d have the leg up on OU for number of visits to each school.

New OT offer, Jared Doughty (GA). One of the biggest risers in the country. Carlos Locklyn at his school today. Recent decommit from Georgia State. OVs set up to Mizzou, Bama, Auburn, and UGA. Let’s see if we can get him up.

Per AG, expect EDGE KJ Ford to reopen his recruitment if Billy Napier is fired.
We would be well positioned in that case, although it was Alabama, not Ohio State, that finished second the first time around.

FINDING HIS VOICE. Arvell Reese has been one of Ohio State’s standouts through three games, collecting a team-best 20 tackles with two sacks and two pass breakups.

As Reese continues to shine for Ohio State, he also continues to find his voice for the Buckeyes.

“When you make plays on the field, there’s just instant credibility. Arvell is a great example,” Ryan Day said Thursday. “Arvell may not have as much of a voice or do as much talking as some of the other guys, but when he speaks, people listen. Jeremiah is a little bit that way.”


Day said having leaders like Reese and Smith is a luxury, especially when the Buckeyes have leaders who speak up regularly like captains Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Brandon Inniss and Austin Siereveld.

“When these guys are some of your hardest workers day in and day out, you know, you grab a young player and you say, ‘You see how he’s going about his business? You see him running around at night? No, he’s not doing any of that stuff. Why? Because he knows what’s important.’ That’s the example that’s been set for a long time here at Ohio State,” Day said. “But these guys are understanding that and hopefully taking it to the next level.”

Man, this is good stuff. That kind of leadership and accountability is the difference between a team and a program!

“WHAT A CLUSTER!” Stewart Mandel, Andrew Marchand and Scott Dochterman of The Athletic released an article titled, “What Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports reveal about Fox and the Big Ten’s relationship,” in which the veteran journalists broke down how the controversial media personality became a regular on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff.

The entire article can be summarized in one paragraph and one quote.

Barstool’s brand is one thing. Portnoy’s Michigan fandom could also be seen as a conflict of interest by Ohio State. Last year, he claimed to have facilitated five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood’s recruiting flip from LSU to Michigan. Earlier this month he tweeted at five-star Ohio State receiver commit Chris Henry Jr. about Oracle, the company founded by Larry Ellison, who, along with his wife, Jolin, funded Underwood’s name, image and likeness deal.
“What a cluster!” said a high-ranking Power 4 administrator. “Why would Fox do that to their partner? Especially a school that might be their No. 1 property in college sports. Makes no sense!”
