Y'all can take him in the NFL if ya want... The Commissioner will protect the shield. Right now, there's nobody looking out for CFB or college athletics in general.

Re: the commissioner protecting the shield, I’d be astounded if Sorsby isn’t blackballed from the NFL, although likely silently behind the scenes to avoid a lawsuit. The NFL is probably the third most venal major entity in sports (behind FIFA and the IOC), but I don’t think they’ll take any risk on this guy.

The OL from Rice was as close as I can think of.

A couple of transfers have been underwhelming but I wouldn't call them "busts".

... and even that one apparently was good enough to be drafted... 7th round, granted, but still got drafted after riding pine for a year. Bit of a head scratcher, but I have to imagine that it was entirely based on measurables.

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Brown did not name the schools that tried to use this tactic to entice him, although he should have. That's an incredibly unethical way to land a recruit. Not only is that degrading to the women who are being offered up, but it's degrading to Brown to think that he would be swayed by such a tactic.

Obviously, Brown turned down those offers. He has stayed loyal to the Ohio State Buckeyes for a year and a half at this point. It doesn't look like any school has a chance to flip him. He's an Ohio kid, and he knows how well the Buckeyes do developing receivers, even without Hartline on staff.

Ohio State can remind Kyle Whittingham who owns the Big Ten by landing 4-star CB​

Will the Buckeyes be able to land the touted playmaker?

Ohio State is hoping to land 4-star CB Monsanna Torbert over Michigan and others​

As we've said time and time again, Day is never going to want to let elite in-state talent leave home. With the drive from Cincinnati to Columbus being around 90 minutes, compared to almost four hours to Ann Arbor, you've got to figure that'd give Ohio State a bit of an advantage here. Day can sell the youngster on playing close to home, with family and friends being able to watch him in action much easier.

As for Michigan, it's looking to work some magic here too, as the 5-10, 160-pounder is set to take his official visit to the UM campus on June 19. Back-to-back weekends at Ohio State and Michigan sure makes this recruiting race a bit more intriguing.

At one point, Torbert was Indiana-bound, giving Curt Cignetti his verbal pledge. However, the Ohio product decided to open up his recruitment, which was obviously welcomed news for OSU fans. Now, the Buckeyes are upping their efforts in trying to land him this time around, though Michigan and others are hoping to make things difficult.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Torbert is ranked four stars, the No. 13 cornerback in the country, No. 5 player out of Ohio, and No. 102 prospect nationally for the 2027 class. He currently holds 34 offers to his name, which speaks to how highly touted of a playmaker he is. This is of course all something Day knows and understands.

Thus far for the '27 haul, Ohio State is up to 13 commits, highlighted of course by 5-star EDGE DJ Jacobs and 5-star wide receiver Jamier Brown. Interestingly enough, there are no cornerbacks on the list yet, which is why the Buckeyes are making Torbert a top priority moving forward. For his official visit, Day is going to have to turn his head in the best way possible.

This is something Whittingham will look to do next weekend too, as he knows there's going to be extra pressure to match what Ohio State gets done. We'll give credit to Whittingham, as he's been on fire landing commits for the Wolverines. However, Day and Co. can serve him up some humble pie by getting things over the line with Torbert. Should that happen, it will be a key reminder for Michigan that Ohio State still has a bit of power over them both on and off the field.

Ohio State basketball team becomes major contender after 5-star recruit reclassifies​

The Ohio State basketball program got some great news after a five-star recruit decided to join the Buckeyes for 2026.

Five-star Ohio State recruit LJ Smith reclassifies to the 2026 recruiting class
Smith has made the decision to come to Columbus a year early. That gives the Buckeyes a massive amount of help in the backcourt, as he is a combo guard. Ohio State is without Bruce Thornton, so they need help at the guard spot in a big way, even though they added some transfers.

With Smith on board, the starting lineup becomes a little murkier for the Buckeyes. Initially, it was thought that Justin Pippen would be the point guard next to John Mobley Jr. With Smith added to the roster, there's a chance that he can compete for the starting point guard spot.

Regardless of whether or not he starts, Smith is going to get a lot of playing time next season. He stands at 6'4 and 180 pounds, so he has a lot of size. That will help, since Mobley Jr. is a small guard. Smith is also someone who can create his own shot, which is something Ohio State struggled with last year.

Ohio State should be a contender to finish towards the top of the Big Ten
This is great news for Diebler, as he gets to add a premier talent to the roster a year earlier than expected. However, that also means increased expectations for the Ohio State basketball team. Before, they were expected to finish in the top half of the league and make the NCAA Tournament again.

Now, the expectations have gone up. Adding Smith should make the Buckeyes a top-four team in the Big Ten. It also means they should get to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, at the very least. Anything less than either of those finishes for Ohio State will be considered a disappointment.

Saw the Decembrists there a couple of years ago. The Mission is a popular venue here. And yes, I’ve lived in Denver since 1995.

I was amazed how that room sounds. Streetlight is 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 drummer, 2-3 saxophones, 1 trombone and 1 trumpet. In a crap room (I’m looking at you Aragon Ballroom in Chicago), it just turns in to a mush of sound. The Mission was loud but every instrument was clear as a bell. I’m a fan (of the room).

BODY BY MICK. I mentioned Mick Marotti's strength program earlier. Here's a glimpse of what it can do for a player who attacks the weight room and takes advantage of Ohio State's nutrition program:

Henry had four catches for 96 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's spring game on April 18. Less than two months later, he appears to have added some good weight and plenty of muscle definition.

In other words, the man is looking yoked.

That should be an unsettling development for Ohio State's 2026 opponents.

I don’t get what goes through these kids minds… you’re getting a free ride at a big time university and probably getting paid decently too at this point.

Then you can’t stop yourself from getting arresting for larceny? What a waste.

STEELE CHAMBERS, UFL CHAMPION. Let's celebrate another champion: Steele Chambers.

The former Ohio State linebacker captured a UFL title with the Louisville Kings, who defeated the DC Defenders, 27-20, in the United Bowl on Saturday. Chambers recorded five tackles in the championship victory.

Login to view embedded media
While Chambers' stat line was modest in the title game, he played a pivotal role in Louisville's championship run. In the semifinals, he sealed a win over the St. Louis Battlehawks with a game-clinching interception, one of two picks he recorded this season.

Login to view embedded media
Across 10 regular-season games and two postseason contests, Chambers compiled 49 tackles, three tackles for loss, four pass breakups and two interceptions as one of the Kings' most productive defenders.

Now with a championship ring on one of his 10 fingers, Chambers can return to his regularly scheduled programming as a co-host of The Bobby Carpenter Show. He may also still be clowning former Ohio State defensive back Bryson Shaw — I can't say for sure — but I look forward to seeing him around The Ohio State Universe this season.
