2028 PA WR Jett Harrison (Verbal Offer)

I see it the other way. The youngest brother of a a hyper competitive, athletic alpha type family is usually a freaking nightmare (in a good way) as a player themselves even if they aren't the most talented of the bunch (think Boren clan)

Woody help everybody if the little brother may be the most physically gifted because he's guaranteed to have the drive and that extra little brother chip.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

This will come down to DOG'S relationship to the coaches and to the team. Right now the offers are near identical, both will put him in the NFL, both are big time programs.

But imo, I think Lock has gotten very close with the family. Im not sure how often the RB coach for UT visiting his family in Canada, but I know Lock has multiple times. The family has spoken highly of him and trusting their son with him. That goes a long way

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Ohio State insider shares intriguing insinuation on 5-star WR's visit

Now, though, with Edmunds in Columbus, many are thinking that there's a stronger chance than before that Edmunds will follow through with his commitment. Cleveland.com's Andrew Gillis called Brown's presence during Edmunds' visit interesting. That in and of itself is interesting.

"For a five-star receiver, there’s no drama when it comes to Brown. ... He’s locked into Ohio State, has shut down his commitment, and will come to Columbus in a few months as one of the best receivers in the country. This official visit weekend is just a formality for him, and he’ll interestingly join Edmunds," Gillis wrote.

Brown, unlike Edmunds, has been steady in his desire to attend the Ohio State University to continue playing football. In May, as Edmunds was inviting other schools to give him a reason to flip, Brown assured everyone that the Buckeyes were the only team in his mind.

“Time is just too close to just be playing around,” Brown said. “I know where I want to go, and it’s Ohio State. I really just don’t see no point in my going anywhere else. ... My recruitment’s been shut down for a minute. I just haven’t made it public. ... Me and coach (Ryan) Day had a conversation...I can’t wait to be up there and be great."

Maybe Brown is there to enforce the attitude Edmunds should've had all along. While every player has every right to treat the sport like a business, there are real consequences to doing so in the locker room. Edmunds getting right with his future teammates is important as a quarterback.

Jamier Brown could establish himself as a heroic Buckeye before ever playing a game

If Brown could help Edmunds realize there's nowhere else to be, we're talking about a 5-star recruit who is also a 5-star recruiter. We're also talking about someone who should have all tabs picked up in the greater Columbus metro indefinitely.

Edmunds, at six-foot-five, has the physical tools to do damage at every level. He's an accurate passer who could see an even higher percentage of his passes caught with an elite receiving corps, as he'd/he'll have in Central Ohio.

That the Buckeyes are seemingly bringing out the big guns to keep him on board proves his value. Edmunds is not someone the team wants to go down on record losing to a much inferior Big Ten program.

Brown's work this weekend will bring him a potential star QB for the future, but should also keep him on Ryan Day, Mark Pantoni, and probably a few important boosters' good sides. That's a great place to be on one of college football's most prestigious and built-to-last teams if you're Brown heading into signing day.
Thats very interesting, because I see OSU still having leverage in the Edmunds recruitment. And its always seemed that OSU was pushing him away more than him wanting out. I think to keep Edwards it would mainly take Fessler and Day sitting him down and having an honest convo. Brown certainly helps on the player side because im sure he wants a relationship with his QB. But it'll come down the coaches making a hard decision

2028 KS OL Reece Wilmes(Verbal Offer)

My brain may be foggy, but cannot recollect that tOSU has had any player from Kansas on its football team.
A bit out of date (ten years, to be exact), but as of 2016 there were at least two.
Kansas: By my count, the State of Kansas has sent only two players to Columbus - junior college transfer Jamie Sumner, who started at guard for a couple of years, and little-used lineman Mark Bean. Sumner gets the nod.

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

When you've lost a lead, and the other team seems to be pulling away, it's whether you knuckle down and start grinding, or stand around and wait for your shower, that is telling on a program. Guess we'll see if Diebs can get the commitment and the effort to make come backs like we want to see, enough to win those tough games. Am encouraged by the uptick in talent, certainly, so let's hope. Go Bucks!

CG LJ Smith (Official Thread)


It was a big week in Ohio State basketball land, with 2027 five-star guard LJ Smith announcing that he was reclassifying to the 2026 class and enrolling at Ohio State for the fall. He joined the team this week for practice, and is expected to finish up the necessary coursework this summer to get his high school degree and start college classes this fall.

While the 17-year old is not expected to lock down a starting role this season, he gives Ohio State another talented backcourt piece, and has (maybe) the highest overall ceiling of anyone on the 2026-27 roster.

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

Ohio State freshman shows incredible body transformation before taking a snap

The Ohio State freshman could end up seeing significant snaps next season as a freshman.

Bey has made quite the transformation since enrolling in Columbus. He has done a great job dedicating himself to the weight room since deciding that he wants to play for the Buckeyes. While he won't be the starter as a freshman, he certainly will be seeing the field a little bit.

It would be surprising if Bey didn't see the field in some games this season. Bo Jackson and Isaiah West are the starter and the backup, so the Buckeyes are going to only play Bey a little bit. Even so, Bey seems like he's done too much to be sitting on the bench.

Mick Marotti continues to be the strength and conditioning coach for Ohio State. He has some detractors, but Ryan Day clearly thinks he is doing a good job. It's hard to argue with the results, especially after the Buckeyes won the national title in 2024.

Legend Bey could be the next impact freshman for the Ohio State football program

Bey got a lot of snaps while Jackson and West were sidelined in the spring after having offseason surgery. Until he got hurt, he looked electric out on the field. Now, the Buckeyes have both of their main running backs back. However, they still have to figure out how to get Bey on the field.

Quite frankly, Bey showed too much during the spring not to see the field when the Fall rolls around. Bey will likely see the field in a running back and a receiver scenario. He is a solid freshman who has done a good job of working to make sure that the coaches have noticed him.

QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)

College football's 10 best backup QBs: Oregon, Ohio State among teams with solid second options in 2026

Experienced backup quarterbacks are increasingly rare in the era of NIL and transfers, but these 10 teams can rest easy knowing they have viable No. 2 options under center

Tavien St. Clair, Ohio State

There is no quarterback competition in Columbus this year. Returning Heisman finalist Julian Sayin is firmly entrenched as Ohio State's starter, but that says more about Sayin than the talent behind him. St. Clair, a five-star prospect in the loaded 2025 quarterback class, looks like the next name in the Buckeyes' quarterback pipeline that has produced college stars like C.J. Stroud, Justin Fields, Dwayne Haskins and J.T. Barrett. His limited college sample as a redshirt freshman -- just 12 snaps and two incomplete pass attempts -- hardly says anything about his long-term outlook. At Bellefontaine (Ohio), St. Clair threw for more than 10,000 yards and 104 touchdowns in four seasons, reinforcing why many view him as Ohio State's quarterback of the future.

WR Brandon Inniss, Captain (All B1G, National Champion)

Maybe put a flashing light on his helmet so Sayin can see him.

I’d love to see an all 22 compilation of times he’s allegedly been open and not seen. I’m not saying I don’t believe it or anything but I genuinely would just like to see how open he gets and how often etc

Congressional Medal Of Honor

Login to view embedded media Then-Second Lieutenant James Capers, Jr. receives the Medal of Honor for acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty as a Team Leader with 3d Force Reconnaissance Company, 3d Reconnaissance Battalion in the Republic of Vietnam from March 31 to April 3, 1967.

During a four-day reconnaissance patrol, he and his team were tasked with locating a North Vietnamese regimental base camp. Despite making contact with a numerically superior enemy force on three separate occasions, he tenaciously continued the mission. He successfully directed fire onto an enemy base camp, thwarting an impending attack on a nearby Marine battalion.

On the final day, his patrol was ambushed by a claymore mine and came under a dense barrage of enemy fire, where he sustained multiple severe wounds. Ignoring his injuries and extreme blood loss, he continued to lead his team, coordinate supporting fire, and direct their movement to an extraction site. Refusing to be evacuated before all his men were safe, he ensured the entire team was extracted before finally boarding the helicopter.

Ripley received the Medal of Honor posthumously for acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on April 2, 1972, while serving as Senior Marine Advisor to the Third Vietnamese Marine Corps Infantry Battalion in the Republic of Vietnam.

While serving in this capacity, he played a pivotal role in halting a major North Vietnamese mechanized assault. The enemy’s rapid advance depended on the capture of a bridge in the village of Dong Ha. To destroy the bridge, Captain Ripley single-handedly moved 500 pounds of explosives into position.

For three hours, he repeatedly exposed himself to intense enemy fire as he climbed beneath the bridge along its bridge’s steel beams to emplace the explosive charges at key structural points. After successfully setting the explosives, he detonated the charges, completely destroying the bridge and stopping the enemy’s advance.

On this day, a large and well-armed Taliban force ambushed Second Lieutenant Dockery’s platoon. Over the course of four hours, he fought and maintained contact with the enemy in extremely restricted urban terrain, personally risking his life on numerous occasions to protect and evacuate three wounded members of his platoon.

After consolidation and reorganization, he directed rotary wing aircraft in the defense against subsequent enemy counter-attacks from an exposed rooftop while his unit evacuated the wounded soldiers.
