2027 CA WR Blake Wong (Verbal Offer)

Anyone notice the religious pull of BY? Kinda like that of ND back in the day. Recollect most/all of the Cincy kids at parochial schools in a pipeline to ND. Heck, even a HS coach went to ND. Does/has anyone tracked how the two year mission impacted these kids? Certainly a bit more mature, maybe a bit more ripped/developed?
I don't think the mission affects their football development, because they're not going on the mission and lifting or training. They could be in say, Mexico, or El Salvador, or even just in America spreading LDS gospel there's not a weight room or dietary restrictions. They're there to help, no one sees them as an athlete, just the kid helping do XYZ. I don't think it helps or hurts

WR Coach Cortez Hankton (Official Thread)

You got to my thought before I did BB. Appears that he's checking the 'recruiting' box, so we'll see how well he does with on field adjustments, teaching skills with our guys. Did I read that Day had Jeremiah and ? in the interviews with the WR candidates, and the player (or two) all pointed to Hankton as the one they wanted to follow. Would seem to me to be a very smart decision on Day's part. Don't know how he's going to solve the problem of only one ball, so targets might not be all the WRs want.....

USC Trojans (official thread)

If USC merely recruited (and signed) athletes in a ten mile radius from USC, they'd be in the national championship each and every year. If one lives in the LA basin, you root for one of two schools, USC or UCLA. When lived there, scored student tickets for USC, oh three or four times a year. For a small, private school, USC has some of the most fervent followers ever. Anyway, their expectations are just as high as those for the Buckeyes, only the Buckeyes produce results.....

Ohio State Men's Golf (Official Thread)

Kinda knew that, but wished/hoped he'd put some low numbers up and take home a big check/points. He did reasonably well on the Korn Ferry this year, with several wins, but more to the point, there he can hone his game. Never really thought much about the new courses he's played, but maybe after a practice round or two, can figure them out. But even so, watched the Nationwide last year on the Scarlet, and don't believe Neil did particularly well. And that's home cooking. Golf is a fickle game anyways.

NBA Discussion (Official Thread)

Bucks trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat for haul of players, picks

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks (including No. 13 in Tuesday's NBA draft), one pick swap and one second-round pick, sources told ESPN.

The Heat are sending to Milwaukee unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 along with No. 13, a pick swap in 2030 and a 2033 second-rounder, according to sources.

Jaquez, 25, finished second on the Sixth Man of the Year ballot last season, after he averaged 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists over 75 games. Ware, 22, averaged 11.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, but the 7-footer was in and out of coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation. The 20-year-old Jakucionis was the No. 20 pick in last year's draft and averaged 6.2 points in 17.8 minutes per game.

Former Ohio State offensive lineman Bob Maggs has died at the age of 61.
A two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection as the Buckeyes’ starting center in 1985 and 1986, Maggs died unexpectedly last Thursday, according to his obituary.
Maggs is the father of Mason Maggs, a current walk-on quarterback for the Buckeyes.
A Parade All-American from Youngstown’s Cardinal Mooney High School, Maggs helped lead the Buckeyes to a 9-3 season in 1985 and a 10-3 season in 1986.

After his football career, Maggs worked in sales for Mueller Roofing Distributors. Per his obituary, Maggs was known by his loved ones as the “Gentle Giant” – for his kind heart, his warm, happy smile, and his fierce love for his family.
Maggs’ death is one of two tragic losses for the Ohio State football program over the past week as another great Buckeye center, Nick Mangold, died Saturday at 41 years old due to complications from kidney disease.

RIP Bob Maggs. A great player and an even better person! Thank for sharing it!
