2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Jamier Brown explains Ohio State's role in his HS transfer

Jamier Brown's purpose at Big Walnut is to be closer to the Ohio State University. Well, and a lot more than that.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were the sole reason Class of 2027 5-star receiver Jamier Brown left Huber Heights Wayne High School to join Big Walnut in Sunbury this past January. That's what Brown admitted to Ashland Source's Curt Conrad.

Per Brown, when asked about his decision to leave the Dayton metro for the Columbus metro, "I wanted a change of scenery and to be closer to Ohio State. ... When God closes one door, He always opens another, and that's what He did for me."

Brown explained after committing in November 2024 that the Ohio State University was his dream school. That message has been consistent through the reaffirmation of his commitment in May. Clearly, this is a spiritual decision for Brown. When you grow up in Ohio, you tend to wear Scarlet and Gray your whole life and feel it destiny to run out onto Safelite Field at Ohio Stadium.

Brown's decision to transfer to Big Walnut meant moving from the Greater Western Ohio Conference to the Ohio Capital Conference. It may be a step down in competition, on paper, at least, but given he's already committed, it may be a smart play for Brown. The media access in the local market will be good for his brand.

Plus, if we're being real, if there's one person who deserves the chance to transfer as he pleases, it's one of the most influential figures in Ohio in making NIL legal for high schoolers via an emergency referendum from the OHSAA.

Jamier Brown was a major voice for Ohio high school players getting NIL

What Brown accomplished in getting high school kids paid is something that will last for generations. Before ever stepping foot on campus and taking a snap, Brown is already a legend in the state of Ohio. Getting high school kids paid is a social justice issue that narrows the inequality gap. Brown helped explain how it gives kids financial literacy.

Impending Assistant Coach Vacancies

I’m not sure of his chops, but in theory it’s a great hire.

An NFL scout monitoring the transfer portal? Good deal.
I just created a thread for him and then saw this discussion.

I agree, this is a baller move. I presume that having anyone with an NFL background paying attention, full time nonetheless, to everyone else’s players who are ripe to be picked is better than nothing. Putting that on Pantoni would be too much.

Staff Andy Howell — College Scout

I’m really beginning to love the changes regarding number of coaches. This is fucking brilliant.


Ohio State football team hires Andy Howell as a college scout​

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, the Buckeyes have hired Andy Howell as a college scout. Howell has worked in the NFL for 14 years. He has worked for the Dolphins most recently. Now, he will move down to the collegiate level and will be someone who helps them when it comes to the Transfer Portal.

You just wait……..

I’m sure his Blue Jacket “fandom” will be up in arms when Werenski is traded for a bucket of turds in a day or two.

Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

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.
Dropping Schroeder is whatever, but dropping Strus for a 1-year LeBron rental? Terrible idea.

Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?


Last I saw him he was hanging out with his buddy Mike Litorice.

I remember it because that dude is usually kind of hard to find.
