Jokes about tasting like chicken aside, what's the closest North American comparison for the alpaca? I'd guess goat, but don't know at all.

I would say bison or if you get a nice and fresh venison backstrap. The alpaca was lean and a bit sweet. It tasted better grilled than ground up as a burger. At least to me.

Cavs exploring trade options to clear space to bring LeBron James home​

The Cavaliers are one of the two frontrunners for LeBron James in free agency along with the Warriors, and the biggest hurdle for Cleveland in bringing James home again is the cap sheet puzzle they're faced with. The Cavs do not have access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception right now like the Warriors, which means that to outright sign James as is, they'd need him to take a minimum. That's a tough sell, and a sign-and-trade would only complicate matters by hard-capping them at the first apron.

Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports that, to create more financial flexibility, the Cavs are exploring trade options for Dennis Schröder ($14.8 million) and Max Strus ($16.6 million) to see if they can shed enough money to add James and re-sign James Harden as planned. For his part, Harden is reportedly holding off on signing his new deal in Cleveland to give the Cavs the most possible flexibility to bring LeBron back, per The Athletic's Joe Vardon.

Nothing new with Monsanna Torbert per Wiltfong. Michigan still has a clear sizeable NIL offer on the table for him. The path to immediate PT is also available there, as they badly need him (which is why they are offering so much).
Tricky one to get a read on who he will pick tomorrow. The reasons for UM are obvious (what I pointed out above), even though he only visited there once for his OV. But at the same time, we've recruited him for a long time now and he's been on campus at least 4x. His brother (who has an OSU offer) was just on campus multiple times for camp in June too, and Monsanna even came a day early for his OV to watch the camp and hangout with the coaches/players. His brother even took part in his OV pics here. He was just wearing OSU gear at The Opening event last week too. He doesn't seem to hold any kind of grudge that it took us so long to finally offer him. The hard part for us, is that CB is not a big need at all. I can't see us coming anywhere close to being near UM's offer. However, he provides a ton of position flexibility at CB, NB, and S, and Wiltfong thinks he's the best DB in the country. So we shall see...

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

pnuts34
@BuckBackHome :
I think LJsr has always taken the familial approach to recruiting. And it worked very well for decades. But with NIL, the grandpa role only goes so far when OSU was getting outbid by tens of thousands of dollars(if not more). It was said by many OSU insiders if OSU was able to open up check book and get creative to find ways for additional revenue, than we would see LJsr see more success. The '27 class is showing what he can do with an influx of money now(and the OSU athletic dept. realizing that there is no one enforcing anything).
@calibuck :
OSU(and pretty much all D1 programs) utilizes it's NIL for in house deals. BUT they also have access to outside funds from major corporations as well and that is also considered NIL. Your 5star talent is getting a bulk of their NIL from national brands, and little from the OSU collective. That's why OSU is able to match or come close to Tennessee's offer for DGG, or how they were able to secure JJ from Miami and still keep him. I'm sure Jamier Brown's biggest deal is through Adidas, and he'll make very little from the OSU collective. But someone like Jordan Donahoo may have most if not all his NIL come from the collective. But if he becomes a starter than I can see the collective fall back, but then some national brands contact him. I can see Isaiah West have a similar trajectory to that example if he's in the 2 deep the next few years(I could also see frosh like Boyd, Perez and Wilhelm possibly fitting in that scenario as well).

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

The good news is the "higher end" JUCO guys slide right in for Simpson and Eckelman.

Plenty of options at catcher. The JUCO guy, will be Sophomore Austin Rose who's tearing it up in summer wood bat ball, and incoming freshman Jeffrey Claycomb from Texas who was a top 15 catcher recruit nationally.

Hopefully no more last-minute ship jumps before the entry window closes at midnight tonight.

Not to hijack, but my impression of LJSr is has always taken the approach of "If you play for me I will treat you as though you were my own son." This resonates for some prospects more than others.

Back on topic - Jacked to have Marcus on board!

I'd use the old homily that the size of the pie is set, only variable is the size of the pieces. However, it appears that the size of the pie has grown somewhat. How much, we won't know until the recruiting dust settles. If at all.....not so certain any university wants to make known how much they have paid for the new recruiting beef. But if the NIL dollars are from outside the university normal funding, then who's to say. At least it's all above board, and the 'under the table' monies are now exposed.

Philadelphia ‘Poopgate’ scandal intensifies as Noah Kahan makes fans ‘solemnly swear’ not to soil themselves at his concerts​

"One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”
David James

Singer/songwriter Noah Kahan has had to issue an impassioned plea to his fans that if they feel the call of nature during one of his shows, they absolutely must head to the bathroom and do it there.

The unusual request comes in the wake of what’s been dubbed “Poopgate”. This refers to a disgusting situation at Kahan’s Philadelphia show, where The Independent reports that a fan near the front of the crowd allegedly defecated on the floor, then attempted to brush the evidence under a chair.

As reported by News.com.au, a horrified witness said:
“I guess they didn’t want to miss a couple of songs to use the bathroom so they just straight up s..t themselves. She started trying to waffle stomp the turds and acted like nothing happened but we flagged down security. One of the most unreal concert experiences I’ve ever witnessed.”

“You guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare”​

Now Kahan has stepped in to urge his fans to maintain basic standards of decorum at his shows. On X he said:

“If you have to poop at a show, please dear god just go to the bathroom lmao I’ve pooped my pants as much as the next 29-year-old but you guys gotta understand there’s a venue worker out there with a 1000-yard stare after dealing with that.”

Now, in front of hundreds of fans, he’s taken to the stage to make his fans take an oath that they will follow societal expectations of bathroom use. He made the crowd repeat after him:

“I solemnly swear I will not s–t my pants and if I do, I won’t take it from my pants and put it on the floor”
This appears to be a growing problem in concerts. After all, if you’ve paid a large amount of money for a ticket, why would you want to waste a single second queuing for a bathroom. The consequences were recently outlined by Olivia Rodrigo, who told KISS Radio (via Consequence): “I have been to certain concerts and certain festivals where people wear diapers so that they can be front row of the show, and that’s been an experience as a performer that I have… smelled.”

The fan that kicked off this stinky controversy has remained anonymous and has not commented.
