PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G)

Login to view embedded media

In a world of constant movement, Bruce Thornton should be celebrated

This is an age where it is easy for players to move schools and change their situation, and that is especially true for Bruce Thornton. Thornton has never played in an NCAA Tournament game in three years as a Buckeye, and has had two head coaches. However, Thornton has been the top performer and consistent with Ohio State for all three years despite others letting him down.

It would have been easy for Thornton to transfer to a top program (he could have transferred almost anywhere he wanted to) and into a better situation. Still, he is committed to helping Ohio State get back to the NCAA Tournament and become a consistent contender in the conference.

RB James Peoples (National Champion)

Clever

But if I’m being honest, I saw enough last year that I expect great things

Specifically, I expect fans of other big ten teams to feel like the football gods hate them when they look at his performance in light of us having just lost two high second rounders and in addition to a ridiculous receiver room for what seems like the 10th year in a row and in addition to what is now a very good (at least) tight end room. Yes, I believe that the peoples of the B1G will be beyond jealous of our Peoples

I’m immature and make a lot of dumb jokes, but I agree he looks special.

2026 OH CB Elbert Hill (USC Verbal)

And so we said when we lost two 5* Ohio kids to Oregon last year. The element of professionalism versus rah-rah seems to be winning out. Am interested how the 'feeling of brotherhood' shines out at tOSU (and other places certainly), for a HT recruit. I am too philosophically shallow to be able to discuss the pros and cons of the above, but certainly don't want to see the game descend into the put in the time, and after practice, go your own way. Would bet all of us have worked places, where people rush out the door at 5:00pm, and don't mingle after work etc. Am hoping that the helping out of another person at the position still counts, rather than the pros, where helping someone else out (learn position etc) would be helping them take your position and paycheck.
