I just seen Fox scroll the last 4 in and Ohio State was on that list....that has to be wrong with all the losing Ohio State has to be farther inside than that. I seen a few sites with Ohio State as a 9 seed. I don't want a 9 seed. Give a 10 or 11 stay away from 1 seeds.

I looked it up, Decourcy has done that projection, but his last update was 5 days ago (the 6th). I guess he's on hiatus?

C Ivan Njegovan (Official Thread)

DZ83CK
Agree that Ivan's biggest impact is defensively. He provides a presence out there that affects the opponent in the paint and on the glass. While his offensive production thus far has been unremarkable, he has given the team a lift on the defensive side. He's one of those guys that is good enough to provide depth in a pinch, but probably not good enough for NIL.

Ohio State men's basketball: "Good roster that underwhelmed" | Land-Grant Holy Land

Does this confirm your feelings on the men's basketball team? According to this chart [https://x.com/EvanMiya/status/2029247912924922352] from analytics guru Evan Miyakawa, Ohio State fits in the bucket of "good rosters that underwhelmed" alongside UCLA, Kentucky, Louisville and BYU.

Interesting. It's a big stretch to say OSU's roster is comparable to that of Kentucky and BYU - pretty sure those programs spent a ton more on NIL. Louisville also reportedly spent big. NC State beat out OSU for star F Darrion Williams. IU supposedly spent $10M for their roster this season which would be more than OSU by far. Money's not everything, but maybe they don't need to use a "preseason roster grade" to evaluate players after the regular season has been completed?

Oregon was picked #5 in the B1G preseason poll, with OSU 9th, can't imagine how their roster would rate as worse than OSU's in that scenario. It appears "preseason roster grade" rates OSU's players as roughly tied for 3rd-best in the B1G, in the same ballpark as Illinois and UCLA and behind only UM and Purdue, which is a vast overrating of the OSU roster compared to the preseason beat writer's poll. I would say the Buckeyes preseason roster grade should put them in the same vicinity as Iowa. Seems to me a lot of bullshit went into the "preseason roster grade" metric.

"Joining Indiana in the $10 million club are Arkansas, BYU, Duke, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, St. John’s and Texas Tech.

Two more Big Ten schools – Purdue and UCLA – are expected to spend $8 million on their rosters." https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=Awr...cryv0nc0/RK=2/RS=6LncaeVA8vqklPqD9GXoDD60W_g-

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

The pitching is absolutely brutal again. None of these guys can throw strikes at a consistent enough level. Way too many walks and they constantly end up in hitter friendly counts. If they can't compete with a bad Washington team this weekend they might struggle to even reach last year's win total.
