Former Heisman front-runner at tOSU follows Heisman winner to BGSU.

I guess the title of this thread needs to be changed to reflect his new job but the person who started it has been banned.

ahh the good ol days

Edit - Fuck, I missed that he was being replaced with Charles Davis. I think I'd rather have Gary the Shill

Idk where you've seen that he's visited there a lot. He had 1 3 day visit there, before he visited OSU for 2 days. He also has official visits set up to SMU(early favorite), Texas and LSU. Notice the trend... Probably not leaving the south
But OSU still has PLENTY of OL options. Best of luck to him

I thought this said he had a "13" day visit until I realized it meant "one 3" day visit

I agree. His attitude matched with his God-given physical ability is finally going to manifest on the field.

I can see him in there during the rushmen kicking Kenyatta down over the 3 gap and him off the edge. Should raise quite a bit of hell!

Ryan Day admits why Ohio State went against the grain in the transfer portal to find a potential hidden gem for the Buckeyes​

Ohio State took some big swings in the transfer portal last season, which made their approach this year look a lot different.

The Buckeyes didn’t need to go out and load up with Caleb Downs or Quinshon Judkins. Ohio State didn’t need to find a starting quarterback like they did with Will Howard. Instead, the Buckeyes found two potential starting tackles and other depth for the roster.

Ohio State even dipped into the FCS ranks and it caught the eyes of many. The Buckeyes don’t normally go after FCS transfers, but one player stood out that the Buckeyes thought would be a good addition to the program.

“He comes from the same hometown as Tommy and we at least knew some people there to ask questions about his background,” Ryan Day said on Monday of new DE Logan Georgia, who comes over from Idaho State. “Then watched his film and just saw a player that played really hard, and really physical, and tough. We brought him in and really liked his family and his support system.”

George is heading into his junior season and it is a big jump up in competition for him. However, the Buckeyes liked what they saw on tape and thought that it would translate well. George recorded 53 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his sophomore season.

“He’s a very serious guy, but he’s earned the respect from the team early on.”

George will figure into the defensive end rotation that will likely see Kenyatta Jackson and Caden Curry as the starters. Behind that it should be C.J. Hicks and George who will look for second-team snaps in Larry Johnson’s unit.

Ohio State will have two years to develop George, who they think can be a strong player for their defense. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound pass rusher looks the part and Buckeye fans will get their first look at him in the spring game next month.

Birm mentioning that his grandmother lives in Columbus. So that can’t hurt

Am I wrong in assuming that as the body ages, the brain responds to save the steps to make the play?

Sources: Minnesota to hire Niko Medved as men's hoops coach​

Minnesota is expected to hire Colorado State's Niko Medved as its next head coach, sources told ESPN.

Medved's season ended on Sunday night, as Colorado State lost at the buzzer to 4-seed Maryland in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 72-71. The Rams had won 11 straight games, including a Mountain West conference tournament championship and a first-round win over 5-seed Memphis in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

This will mark a return home for Medved, a Minneapolis native who attended the University of Minnesota and spent a year with the Gophers as an assistant coach in 2006-07.

Medved has led Colorado State to the NCAA tournament in three of the last four seasons, winning a game in each of the last two. They went 25-6 in 2021-22, earning a 6-seed in the NCAA tournament but losing to Michigan in the first round.

Last season, Colorado State earned a First Four berth, where it blew out Virginia, 67-42, before losing to Texas.

In seven seasons with the Rams, Medved went 143-85.

Iowa hires Drake's Ben McCollum as men's basketball coach​

Iowa has hired Drake's Ben McCollum as its next men's basketball coach, the school announced Monday.

McCollum just finished his first season at Drake, leading the Bulldogs to a 31-4 record and the program's first appearance in the NCAA tournament's round of 32 since 1971. They won the Missouri Valley Conference's regular-season and tournament titles before beating 6-seed Missouri in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Drake lost to Texas Tech in the second round on Saturday.

McCollum won Missouri Valley Coach of the Year honors and was named a semifinalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year award.

McCollum, an Iowa City native, replaces Fran McCaffery, whom Iowa dismissed earlier this month after 15 seasons as the Hawkeyes' head coach. He was the school's all-time wins leader with 197 and led the program to seven NCAA tournament appearances.

Donaldson says he feels much faster now that he’s practicing at a lighter weight.

“I feel like I'm running like the Flash right now,” Donaldson said. “I definitely feel quicker and more explosive.”

While Ohio State wanted Donaldson to lose some weight, it still wants Donaldson to be a power back. His size is one trait that makes him unique compared to 210-pound sophomore James Peoples, the running back he’s expected to split carries with in Ohio State’s backfield this season, and Locklyn wants his running backs to have different strengths that complement each other.

That said, Locklyn believes there’s a lot more to Donaldson’s game than just being big and strong.

“I look at him as a slasher,” Locklyn said. “He has good enough speed, great hands, but he's a slasher, a big guy. Big guys often win with the little guys, so he's gonna fall forward. But I look at him as a slasher with power. Got really good feet for a big guy. Really good hands and good vision. So (the weight loss is) gonna help him a little bit with probably his longer speed, but he is good.”

He’s brimming with confidence in his ability to do so because of the difference Ohio State has already made on him in just two months.

“It’s been off the charts,” Donaldson said. “They’ve developed me like from day one, like since the day I stepped on campus. The workouts, my eating habits, where I need to get to in my body weight, what I need to improve on to develop into an NFL running back and have an opportunity to get to that level. And just them investing into me as much as possible, like day in and day out, they invest a lot.”



Just sayin': Over the years I've been wondering why more Ohio State running backs never seem to consistently "fall forward".

CJ interests me quite a bit and I was thinking back to Sermon and more recently Judkins in terms of RB transfers. Sermon came in with modest stats but great talent, then thrived here. I think that could be CJ's trajectory if he keeps up the work. Judkins came in with the accolades but stepped it up to another level. CJ seems to have the ability to have a similar impact even if Peoples is the lead RB1.

Kudos also to the duo calling the game. The guy was especially good!

Only thing remotely cool anyone from that fucking shithole has ever done.

Remember When: Warren Amling Paired All-American Seasons in Football with Final Four Runs in Basketball​

Warren Amling had one of the greatest two-sport runs a college athlete has ever had from 1944 to 1946.

On the football field, Amling earned consensus All-American honors in consecutive seasons while playing two different positions along Ohio State’s offensive line. On the basketball court, Amling played a key role in back-to-back Final Four runs for the Buckeyes.

A native of Pana, Illinois, Amling played on Ohio State’s freshman football and basketball teams in the fall of 1942 and spring of 1943. He was in line to play for both varsity teams the following year, but his athletic career was put on hold for one year as he was called to serve in the Army with World War II ongoing.

Upon his return to play, Amling became the utility man on the Ohio State football team’s 1944 offensive line, starting games at both tackle and guard. He helped lead the way for Heisman Trophy winner Les Horvath as Ohio State won the Big Ten championship with a perfect 9-0 record. The Buckeyes were also awarded a national championship for that season by the National Championship Foundation and the Sagarin Ratings, though that national championship is not claimed by Ohio State as Army was ranked No. 1 in the final AP poll.

Amling drew considerable praise for his contributions to the Buckeyes’ undefeated season from head coach Carroll Widdoes following the season.

“I think Warren could play any position on the team,” Widdoes told Paul Hornung of the Columbus Dispatch. “He’s as smart as they come in every way, he’s fast and agile.”

Amling then became one of the top guards on Ohio State’s 1944-45 basketball team. Known for his defense, rebounding and “scrap and drive,” Amling was described in a Dispatch article during the season as the team’s “biggest crowd pleaser.” His efforts, which earned him an All-Big Ten honorable mention, helped Ohio State go 14-4 to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where the Buckeyes beat Kentucky in the national quarterfinals to earn a berth in the Final Four. While he averaged just 4.5 points per game for the season, Amling scored 10 points in his Final Four debut, finishing as OSU’s second-leading scorer in a 70-65 overtime loss to NYU.

After also competing in track and field as a shotput and discus thrower, Amling earned unanimous All-American honors in his first season as a full-time guard for Ohio State football in 1945. Playing both left and right guard for the Buckeyes’ offensive line while also contributing on the defensive line, Amling finished seventh in the Heisman vote as he led Ohio State to a 7-2 record.
Returning to the basketball court, Amling was a starting guard for the 1945-46 Buckeyes as they won the Big Ten championship and made another run to the Final Four, where Ohio State lost to North Carolina in the national semifinals before beating California in the third-place game.

Amling was the captain of Ohio State’s 1946 football team and continued to show his versatility by moving back outside to left tackle. Much like Donovan Jackson in Ohio State’s 2024-25 College Football Playoff run, Amling handled that transition seamlessly, earning consensus All-American honors even though the Buckeyes went just 4-3-2 in Paul Bixler’s lone season as head coach.

Amling concluded his athletics career by averaging a career-high 6.6 points per game for Ohio State’s 1946-47 basketball team. Those Buckeyes took a step back after three straight Final Four appearances, however, going just 7-13 in Amling’s senior season.

When visited tOSU, got chased out of the gym when practice started. My point being, that we don't know what happens in a non-game setting. Would imagine that one coach takes the centers to one basket, forward to another, and guards to yet another to work on their skills etc. Scrimmages should be a reward, and the work-outs should make the games seem easier. Kinda why am surprised that the position coach doesn't take players aside during a TO to remind them what they need to do (in that situation or somesuch). PS, see that in football all the time, the WRs get with Hartline who goes over what needs to happen, etc. But do agree that McGuff recruits GUARDS well. Still am a tad pissed that Dorkas and the other forward both fled after a season in scarlet and gray.

My bad

Bag'em.
