So you prefer:

Come to the big ten, where your spot you earned all off-season, only exists if an NFL reject doesn't want a golden parachute in August. Oh, and you probably can't play college football anywhere else after the surprise

Desperation has its consequences. Lane is desperate. Ryan is not. Which is why one of them keeps doing it, and the other hates it but was going to evaluate it.

You bring up an excellent point, and I think my mind has been changed.

I was born in Chicago and raised in northwest Indiana. I was a social worker for child protective services in Gary before getting into HR in the private sector.

It is indeed a wasteland. 1 in 3 homes are estimated to be abandoned and there are over 30,000 abandoned commercial structures.

Rumor is Fakatou is visiting Texas for OSU game

EBBuck03 6 hours ago
They’re probably paying him and his brother to go to the game. I’m not really worried about him. He clearly wants to be a Buckeye.

TEXAS VISIT FOR FAKATOU. Marcus Fakatou, a five-star defensive lineman committed to Ohio State in the 2027 class, has scheduled a notable gameday visit.

It's one where the Buckeyes will be playing, but he'll be visiting on the other sideline. Per Adam Gorney of Rivals, Fakatou will visit Texas when Ohio State travels to Austin.

“I’ll be at the Texas-Ohio State game,” Fakatou said via Rivals. “Coach (Will) Muschamp and coach (LaAllan) Clark have kept contact with me since I committed. They haven’t broken it. Even though I’m committed, that shows a lot of love from their side so it’s only right I go show them love, too."

Now, there are many different ways to look at this. The first one is he's visiting for an Ohio State game, so maybe Fakatou wanted to go support his future team. Last year at the White Out, Devin Jackson, an Oregon safety commit, visited on the Penn State sideline. Offensive line commit Immanuel Iheanacho was scheduled to do the same, though he never made it to the game.

The other side of things is maybe he's truly considering a flip if he's willing to spend a weekend with a high-profile opponent for the Buckeyes. There's also the relationship-building aspect, as you never know what your future looks like. That's exactly what happened with John Walker, who originally pledged to UCF over Ohio State in high school, but when he hit the portal, Larry Johnson was right there in contact, building off that previous rapport.

I wouldn't sound the alarm bells right now; I don't think a former assistant of Johnson in Clark will pull Fakatou out of Columbus quite yet.

I won't hyperlink it because his Instagram story will expire by the time this comes out, but Fakatou posted a photo of an Ohio State hat yesterday. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not, though.

WR Brock Boyd (Official Thread)

“One Of One” Brock Boyd Building Off Strong Spring, Continuing Push For Playing Time in Crowded Wide Receiver Room​

163457_h.jpg


Jermaine Mathews Jr. couldn't really put into words what Brock Boyd brings to Ohio State's wide receiver room.

"Brock, he’s different," Mathews said last week. "I don't know. It's something about Brock. He's different. I love Brock."

Mathews was then asked if Boyd reminds him of anyone, which the cornerback said he didn't.

“He's one of one. He his own player,” Matthews said.

While many outside the building didn't expect this kind of noise from Boyd when he enrolled in January, it's certainly there, and it's only getting louder.

"Brock's cold, I mean day in, day out you see something new from Brock," Inniss said last week. "He's great. He's very smart. He's probably the smartest freshman I've ever seen."

RB Legend Bey (Official Thread)

ScriptOhio
From 11W: Bey’s accomplishment is noteworthy considering he missed Ohio State’s first two practices for violating team rules. Whatever he’s done in practice since, he has overcome that early speed bump and regained the trust of Ohio State’s coaches. Ryan Day, Carlos Locklyn and Mickey Marotti have been impressed with his performance on the field and in the weight room, as well as his attention to detail in meetings.
