RB Isaiah West (Official Thread)

One Ohio State football player everyone has forgotten due to injury

Buckeye fans may have forgotten about this player, but they shouldn't once the Fall rolls around.

In a reserve role last season, West recorded 59 carries for 310 yards and two touchdowns. He shared carries with Bo Jackson. Jackson is the established starter, even though he was also recovering from an injury this spring. As the starter, Jackson isn't getting forgotten, though.

West is a solid ball-carrier who can handle a large load. He was able to average 5.3 yards per carry, and that was his first year in college. This year, he should be playing behind a better offensive line, and his experience will help him get more yards in a more efficient manner.

Of course, the Ohio State Buckeyes are hoping that the four returning offensive linemen will not be the worst unit on the field, as they were a year ago. That was the biggest problem that the team saw at the end of the year. West should have those issues reduced.

Isaiah West will be part of a dynamic offense for the Buckeyes

The Ohio State football program should have the best offense in the country. Obviously, the run game will become a bigger part of the offense with Arthur Smith becoming the offensive coordinator. He has proven that he can scheme up plays that open up holes for guys to run through.

Jeremiah Smith is the most dangerous weapon in football. He can't be stopped on the outside, so the passing game is going to be tough to stop, too. Julian Sayin should be a better quarterback this year, as well. It's his second year as a starter, and that will only further the running game.

All of these factors should help West have a stronger season as a sophomore. He is going to share a fair number of snaps because of how talented he is. The question with West is whether or not he can hold off Legend Bey, who showed off a lot during spring practice.

West will still be able to get a lot of playing time and should be able to contribute to an offense that could set records.

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Brooklyn dominatrix Saran wraps sub to street pole, douses him in milk

A Brooklyn dominatrix went viral for “mummifying” one of her subs onto a downtown lamppost in 100-degree heat — and then drenching him with jugs of milk.

Fetish professional Sabine Tautou turned the corner of Spring and Mott Street into her own personal dungeon — plying her kinky craft on a client on Wednesday.

“He was so happy,” Tautou said of her public humiliation-loving sub, adding that she made sure he cleaned up his mess afterwards and left no litter at the scene.

“He is one of my subs and traveled in from Maryland for a session with me on Thursday. He did the mummification scene to please me,” Tautou, who commands rates of up to $10,000 for a full-day session, told The Post.

The willing victim stripped down to his skivvies and socks on the Nolita street and was then tightly wrapped by the diminutive domme with yards of plastic, with just a small slit for a breathing hole.

Tautou, clad in a barely-there bikini top and booty shorts, then climbs on top of a step stool to pour two half-gallons of milk over the sub’s steaming head.

2027 IL DL Brayden Parks (Verbal Offer)

Notre Dame football’s biggest remaining hurdle in landing 4-star DT Brayden Parks is something no one expected

Notre Dame continues to push hard for 4-star DT Brayden Parks, but Oregon remains in the recruitment. What is the hold-up?

Notre Dame football and head coach Marcus Freeman have prioritized 2027 defensive tackle Brayden Parks out of Chicago’s Brother Rice for a long time. The Fighting Irish have deep ties to the talented interior defensive lineman, and feedback from South Bend remains positive.

But a conversation with someone very close to Parks revealed a layer to this recruitment that has kept the decision from being a formality. The very thing that should make Notre Dame the obvious choice has actually been the one factor complicating this process.

Parks, a 6-foot-2, 310-pound defender with tremendous untapped potential, has connections to the Notre Dame program that run deep. His godfather is legendary Notre Dame defensive lineman Chris Zorich. He has a cousin in Tony Jones Jr., the talented running back who suited up for the Irish in the late 2010s. He trains with former Notre Dame linebacker Kerry Neal. He plays his high school football 90 minutes from South Bend and has visited campus countless times.

On the surface, this is as natural a fit as you will find in college football recruiting.

Why the close ties have been a double-edged sword

From everything I have gathered, the intimate familiarity Parks has with Notre Dame has actually created an internal tug-of-war. According to a source close to Parks, the question he has been wrestling with is straightforward: does he want to continue the family legacy and be a part of the program he already knows inside and out, or does he want to forge his own path?

Going to Notre Dame would be the easy decision for Parks. He knows the program, the staff, and the culture. But “easy” and “right” are not always the same thing in the mind of a teenager trying to make the biggest decision of his life. Parks has wanted to make sure that choosing Notre Dame is his decision, not just the decision his family and the people around him would make for him.

That desire for personal ownership of the choice has been the reason this recruitment has taken as long as it has.

Oregon’s role in the recruitment


This recruitment has been a Notre Dame versus Oregon battle throughout, and the Ducks deserve credit for keeping themselves firmly in the conversation. Every time Oregon has taken the lead, Notre Dame has countered and seemingly regained the top spot. Head coach Dan Lanning and his staff have pulled out all the stops to show Parks that he is a priority for the Oregon program.

When Parks took his official visit to Eugene, the Ducks made it clear that money is no object and his spot on their priority list is firm. That effort has given Parks a legitimate alternative to weigh against the Irish, and it has been a meaningful part of his decision-making process.

Where things stand right now

As of today, I like where Notre Dame is in this recruitment. The feedback from the Notre Dame side continues to be positive, and I believe the Fighting Irish end up landing Parks. But the reason some have not felt completely settled about this outcome is the reality that Parks might just know Notre Dame a little too well.

He has wanted the time to soul-search and confirm that South Bend is the right fit for him as an individual.

If Parks commits to Notre Dame, it will not be a Chris Zorich decision. It will not be a Tony Jones Jr. decision. It will not be his family’s decision. It will be a Brayden Parks decision.

Just sayin': It sounds like ND and Oregon are in a NIL bidding war for this recruit.....:lol:

He’s the top dog for a reason.

Bottomless pit Joey Chestnut once again took home the crown at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest Saturday afternoon, celebrating the 250th birthday of America with relish.

2027 TN RB David Gabriel Georges (Verbal Offer)

Debatable that it would be a “crushing blow.” Ohio State will chug along and be great every year with or without DGG.

That said… do want. Badly.
Agreed. It would suck, but the alternative would be to just pay the high price in the portal and get Judkins-like players until they hit on another true elite HS player.

OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Five-Star Center Sydney Mobley Commits to Ohio State Women’s Basketball

162925_h.jpg


Ohio State women’s basketball has added a five-star center to its 2026-27 roster.

Sydney Mobley, who was ranked as the No. 3 center and No. 18 overall prospect in the 2027 class, announced her commitment to Ohio State on Friday. Mobley also announced she will reclassify into the 2026 class and join the Buckeyes’ roster for the 2026-27 season.

Mobley joins the Buckeyes from nearby Big Walnut High School in Sunbury, Ohio. She’s a cousin of Ohio State men’s basketball star John Mobley Jr.

Mobley chose Ohio State after also making official visits to Illinois and Virginia. Other major programs that offered Mobley included Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Virginia Tech.

A 6-foot-2 post player, Mobley could play either center or power forward for Ohio State. She joins a frontcourt led by returning starters Elsa Lemmila and Kylee Kitts.
I wonder how long they’ve been expecting this. I had been surprised by how pat they’d been standing. This makes that make much more sense. If she can be a real post grinder/offensive rebounder and play low to Elsa’s high when we need size, we might really have something.
