FWIW, Marcus Freeman's son Vinny must be a pretty good athlete too. He committed to go to Cornell to wrestle:

Notre Dame denies battery allegation against Marcus Freeman​

Notre Dame has denied that Marcus Freeman made physical contact with anyone after the football coach was accused of battery in a police report filed Jan. 3 following an incident at his son's high school wrestling match.

Vanity plates.

And his other school is Bama, who has Ryan Williams returning and Isaiah Horton.
Washington loses their starting WR, but also loses their starting QB and his backup. So his best chances to play #1 are Washington and UCLA. And both teams will be pretty bad

They can no longer afford Porter. It was an “either/or” scenario and not an “and” scenario if you catch my drift.

UW is not losing their QB last I read.

I went by the current Our Lads site for Indiana (below) which is usually pretty accurate; however, you could be right.

Wait, Earl Little, DB for the Browns' kid?

If so, damn I'm getting older.

Over the years Ohio State has had success with the kids of former NFL players: Bosa, Bosa, Heyward, Springs, Harrison, White, Cassidy, Johnson, Styles, and Styles.

Anybody think of any others?

ESPN: Former Auburn quarterback Deuce Knight signed with Ole Miss on Sunday, sources confirmed to ESPN, giving the No. 6 Rebels a potential starter for 2026 if Trinidad Chambliss doesn't win his fight for a sixth season of eligibility.

Knight, from Lucedale, Mississippi, was ranked the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the Class of 2025. He committed to Notre Dame in September 2023 before flipping to Auburn, where he played in two games this past season.

The 6-foot-4, 217-pound signal-caller spent much of the 2025 season sitting behind Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels. He did start in the Tigers' 62-17 victory against FCS program Mercer on Nov. 22, completing 15 of 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, while running for 162 yards and four scores.

Knight entered the transfer portal after new Auburn coach Alex Golesh brought in Byrum Brown, his former starting quarterback at South Florida.

Anyone know what time the browns playoff game is today?

But seriously, just saw Watson counts as $82 million to the browns cap this year.

I’d be surprised if the Browns made the playoffs in the next 3-5 years

Naw, one of the first things Trump did is put the OK on shale drilling. Before Biden closed it down, the USA was a net exporter of oil. Reduce the supply, prices go up. Suppliers see that the USA needed oil, and lo and behold, the price went up. Out here in Cali, hard to tell, as the gas tax is so high, never certain whether the 'temporary' taxes are over, or if the base price is being lowered. But have seen some of the off-brands selling for less than $4. Not by much, around $3.80.

The US has been a net exporter every year since 2020 ( and was on and off since 2014) and also the world's largest producer and has broken it's own record for production every year since. That includes under both Trump aqnd Biden.

Just getting back....wondering if tOSU's sign-up policy is backfiring on them. Low entry NIL, and gets bigger as one performs...appears that we're losing the back-ups that are expected to move into the two -deep. Also, that this portal entrying may be a ploy to force tOSU into paying them more money now, rather than waiting. To see some of these guys bolt, with the prospect of playing next year very real, is/has gotta be disheartening for Day & Co (as certainly is for armchair coaches like me). Am certainly not in the know, so merely hypothicating as to why. Please direct me to any thread that puts this out there.....PS, do see how some of the guys want to 'get theirs' now, rather than putting in the time, when the Buckeyes then recruit players, either HS or portal, over them. Appears we've lost most of our back-up WRs, DBs, and RBs.

Faheem made a wise business decision with the negotiating power in his corner due to Downs leaving.

I may not like it but if he were my son, I would advise him to use the portal for leverage if possible.

RugbyBuck said:

I count seven defensive players in the portal that I would’ve expected to compete to start or see substantial playing time next season. That’s a number that makes me question what we saw and read all season. Why sit behind Downs, Iggy, McDonald, and Curry only to then leave when they do? Is the culture that we keep being fed not quite what we’re fed? Why would you leave the opportunity to be on a top ten defense playing for Matt Patricia about whom we heard nothing but effusive praise all season? The fact that we’ve been quiet in the portal (great LB pickup, notwithstanding) makes me wonder if this exodus caught us by surprise.

I'm with you, I don't think we expected it simply because of numbers. We had to have most of these guys start or be regular contributors. Now we've gotta scramble to have a semblance of what we saw last year on defense. Reese and Downs had to be presumed to be gone, but the rest of the departures are concerning if we don't kill it in the portal.

Are you not a fan of them not pursuing because he’s from OH, you want more OL, or another reason?

This honestly was said by Day a few times during the season when there were constant questions about Mylan playing(or lack of PT). I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, your HS stars don’t matter in college. JJ isn’t the best WR in the country because he was a 5star in HS. He outworks everyone on the team and in the country and is always wanting to get better and is focused on his craft. There were rumors about Graham not remembering plays during the game, texting and snap chatting during games, doesn’t sound like a focused player. But someone who enjoyed the spot light but not the work . He’s now being predicted to ND, and Hartline is also a no nonsense HC, and he also has no problem sitting him if he doesn’t work
