OSU Women's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Cannot argue. Recollect that against Uconn, Jacy & Co made UConn turn the ball over 20 times. PS, that is where Dorkas transferred to, and had Paige Bueckers now on Dallas, and Azizi Fudd, also on Dallas WNBA team. All three now in WNBA. As much as pains me to say, McDuff's game plan worked. But now (and to the point), there is an option to go big with some talented players, as well as small, to play press.
Almost everything works when you have Jacy Sheldon. :nod:

WR Julian Fleming (transfer to Penn St.)

All things considered, probably fair. Deserves some time for a reckless decision but he will feel his real punishment the rest of his life no matter what - the loss of his girlfriend.

I hope this is not something that derails his life and he’s able to find some peace and good doing in his future.
Yeah no doubt. Harsh as hell this life

Texas A&M Aggies, aTm (official thread of jizz jars)


BATON ROUGE - A former Istrouma High and Texas A&M running back was arrested for cruelty to juveniles after his 2-year-old son accidently shot himself, arrest documents say.

Leveon Moss, 23, of Baton Rouge, took his son to Our Lady of the Lake's Children Hospital with a gunshot wound Monday night, the Baton Rouge Police Department said. The shooting happened at his South Flannery Road apartment.

Moss told officials that he was asleep with his son in his bed, where his son got ahold of a gun he kept underneath his pillow. His son accidentally fired a single shot.

The affidavit said "due to Moss’ negligence, a child under the age of seventeen suffered unjustifiable pain." He was arrested Monday. Moss played for Texas A&M for four years before signing with the Miami Dolphins after going undrafted. He retired before playing in the NFL.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Jet Greaves seeks $7.5 million. Will the Columbus Blue Jackets blink?

Jet Greaves is a restricted free agent (RFA) without an active contract, as his previous two-year, $1.625 million deal expired at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Columbus Blue Jackets and Greaves are scheduled for a salary arbitration hearing in Toronto to determine his contract.

The two sides filed significantly different figures in their briefs: the Blue Jackets filed for a $2.8 million salary, while Greaves' camp requested $7.5 million. Columbus selected a one-year term for the contract ruling. If the two sides do not negotiate a settlement prior to the hearing, the arbitrator will rule on the player's salary.

Time is ticking for the Blue Jackets and Jet Greaves to find common ground before an arbitration hearing July 23 decides the goalie’s salary for the upcoming season.

Blue Jackets Monday Gathering: Latest on Fantilli, Greaves and Sillinger contracts

Jet Greaves​

We’re listing Greaves first because he’s the most pressing matter. His arbitration hearing is set for Thursday in Toronto.

The Blue Jackets and Greaves can avoid that hearing by reaching terms on a new contract any time between now and the point at which the arbitrator begins deliberating after hearing both sides’ arguments.

If arbitration is necessary, Greaves will have a new contract by Saturday, as the ruling is due 48 hours after the hearing. (Yes, one way or another, one of the unsigned Blue Jackets will be under contract at this point next week.)

The Blue Jackets have the right to suggest a one- or two-year ruling, but will seek a one-year contract so that Greaves isn’t walked directly into unrestricted free agency after the 2027-28 season.

Goaltenders are notoriously tough to value, and you could understand strong arguments on both sides of the table.

Greaves had a very good season in 2025-26, his first full NHL campaign. By some metrics, he was a top-10 goaltender in the league. No question, he’s now the Blue Jackets’ No. 1 option in net. Those guys get paid.

However, he’s had only one strong season in the NHL. Greaves, 25, wasn’t a starter until this season, and some aren’t yet ready to stamp him as an NHL-level No. 1.

Adam Fantilli

Leo Carlsson, the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft, signed a five-year, $90 million offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers that the Anaheim Ducks opted to match earlier this month.

Connor Bedard, the No. 1 pick in that draft, signed a five-year, $75 million contract with the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday.

Next up: Fantilli, the Blue Jackets’ No. 3 pick that year.

If Carlsson’s offer sheet threatened to “blow up” the market for young RFAs, perhaps Bedard’s — at a far lesser value despite significantly better production than Carlsson — might tilt it back the other direction.

At minimum, it could help set the parameters of a deal between the Blue Jackets and Fantilli, who is four years away from UFA status.

Cole Sillinger

Like Greaves, Sillinger filed for arbitration earlier this month. His hearing is set for next Monday (July 27) in Toronto.

2028 OH WR Lorenzo McMullen Jr. (Verbal Offer)

Has anyone else noticed that Cincinnati schools are producing more, and better recruits than Cleveland (and nearby environs), and certainly more than Columbus? And drilling a bit deeper, more recruits from Watterson than the entirety of the Columbus Public Schools? (Could add DeSales in there as well). What sort of secret sauce does Cincy have?
TBH, Cincinnati has always had talent, but OSU hasn't always ventured into Cincinnati. Tressel was known to hardly ever recruit the 513, and Urban and now Day have done their best to close the gap and mend(or even create) the relationships. And there is the issue that many in Cincinnati don't feel like their part of the state, and act like CIncy is part of KY, or aren't big fans of OSU. I'd say ND, UC, UK and Louisville all have just as big of a following down here. There's certainly a little brother mentality down here in regards to the rest of the state. I always joke that you don't enter OH truly until you to Dayton
But the GCL schools(Moeller, St. X, Elder and Lasalle), Princeton, Wyoming, the Lakotas, Anderson and Winton Woods are all serious contenders for state titles in their divisions. But NIL will be thorn in the side, and this is the case throughout the country. Kids aren't staying home just to go to the hometown school(case in point: Mr. McMullen). But on the bright side, its worked in OSU's favor with a number of southern recruits.
