“Coach (Keenan) Bailey serves the role as tight ends coach and co-OC so really knows how to get the tight ends involved,” Geraci said. “He is a coach that loves his job and puts everything into developing players. When I visited in the spring he went through film with me and gave me drills to work on and improve. I worked on those drills every week and when I came to OSU camp in the summer he put us through the same drills which helped me stand out even though there were higher ranked tight ends there. That’s when OSU offered me.
“I really like the coaches there. They are top-notch. Coach (Brian) Hartline and Bailey came to watch us practice at Bosco. Really enjoyed meeting with coach (Ryan) Day after they offered me. He really likes what Bosco produces and knows our program really well. Coach (Wendy) Laurent is the OSU assistant tight end coach and was my older brothers tight end coach at Dartmouth. So, a good family connection. My dad’s family is from Cincinnati area so it’s great seeing them whenever we visit OSU.

After reading these quotes, I'd be mildly surprised if 2027 TE JT Geraci didn't end up signing with OSU, assuming his spot doesn't get taken.

Outstanding TE room!

Congrats to him and best of luck!

But, over Ohio State? We've got Edmunds as our guy so that wording is total hogwash.

DBB, wouldn't be surprised. Sometimes, I'm a tad oblivious....

Dispatch beat writer Adam Jardy is a Bynum believer. If Jardy's instincts are correct, Bynum will be a big part of the team his freshman year.

There was a former OSU aviation engineering Professor Gerald Gregorek. He designed and later led the Aeronautical and Astronomical Research Laboratory next to Don Scott Field. He lived in Clinton Estates and his son attended Brookhaven High School. The son was a polymath, skipping many grades and he and his father hosted "star parties" at his house. Sadly, the son had leukemia and graduated posthumously, having already finished senior year classwork by mid-year.

I remember him because those moments with 6", 8" and 10" refractor telescopes, as well as, a much larger experimental telescope Prof G was building really set a fire in me. He showed us how to read a star chart, fix a telescope in place, find objects in the sky and set the tracking mechanism (primitive compared to today), even how to grind telescope lenses to make our own telescopes. He also was a pioneer in the model rocketry industry and we watched as he sent them aloft many afternoons.

Dr Gregorek, as we called him, also was a great Buckeye football fan. (Obituary)

When I came to the tip of Africa, it was the stars that anchored me. as I watched the Big Dipper peak above the horizon in the American late summer. I knew it was a different and much better show I was seeing and thought of how much fun it might have been to share it with him.

I mention these things because that family deserves mention and remembering, but also to express my appreciation for those who post in this thread. I remember those folks and the kids I grew up with every time I click my way in. Thank you!

I hope Coach Bowen is waiting by the phone to hit send the minute that Deion steps away from the CU program

So, not an annoyance. I’ve been traveling more for work lately and we have a Delta hub. Decided I would splurge and get the Am Express for my travel expenses and access to the Delta Sky Clubs.

Really enjoying the Sky Clubs especially on days when I have early morning or Sunday flights. Makes the airport experience much nicer.

We have the same but with Citi for American. Everyone in my family has access to the Admiral’s Cub when they travel as they all hold a card. So completely worth it. Have had it for years and wish that I would have gotten it, or similar, many years before I did.

Big shoes to fill in the entertainment aspect. The ST battery usual provides the best antics.

Kinda thought that (size comparison), he might be half a step better or worse than what tOSU already has. Not entirely certain why, but looks like the Buckeyes are going to stand pat with what they've got.

Happy 2 was pretty solid - John Daly was amazing simply playing himself without acting, LOL. Anyone got any hand sanitizer? I also thought Scottie was great and a good sport "not again, i know the drill"

Ask a bot if it knows the prime directive.

It has to tell you or blow up.

Saw it on Star Trek once.

Former Ohio State Athletic Director Gene Smith Reportedly Serving As a Consultant for Maryland for Six Months​

Former Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will be lending his assistance to Maryland athletics — temporarily.

According to a report by the Columbus Dispatch, Smith is serving as a consultant for Maryland for the next six months.

“You have to have something to keep you mentally active,” Smith told the Dispatch, “and the consulting and board work keeps me mentally active. Obviously, I'm not working 80-plus hours a week.”

Smith is assisting former Ohio State associate athletic director for marketing and communications Jim Smith, who just began his tenure as Maryland's athletic director last week. He worked in Columbus from 1995-2000. Jim Smith worked with Gene from 2016-2020 when he led Ohio State's alumni association.
