DB Tre Avery, fka Kareem Felder (transfer to Toledo, transfer to Rutgers Scarlet Knights)

TRE AVERY, CORNERBACK, RUTGERS
If the name Tre Avery does not sound familiar, it's because he was once known as Kareem Felder when he signed with Ohio State in 2016. Before arriving in Columbus, however, Felder decided to enroll at Toledo instead, where he did not see game action.

The Baltimore native then went to the Garden State, changed his name, and rode the bench for the Scarlet Knights last season.

So far this season, Avery has recorded two tackles for the Scarlet Knights.

OL Jack Wohlabaugh (transfer to Duke Blue Devils)

JACK WOHLABAUGH, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, DUKE
A low-ranking member of Ohio State's class when he signed, Wohlabaugh really never had a shot to be a valuable member of the Buckeyes.

After two seasons in which he redshirted and then did not see any playing time, Wohlabaugh elected to transfer to Duke.

So far, Wohlabaugh has played in every game for the Blue Devils this season.

DB Joshua Norwood (transfer to NW Mississippi CC, transfer to West Virginia Mountaineers)

JOSHUA NORWOOD, CORNERBACK, WEST VIRGINIA
A Georgia native, Norwood is on his third school in three years.

After redshirting at Ohio State in 2015, Norwood played in 11 games for the Buckeyes in 2016, recording eight tackles. After electing to transfer, Norwood ended up at Northwest Mississippi Community College, a JUCO school. Now he's in Morgantown, and has been playing significant minutes for the Mountaineers.

He has racked up 31 tackles, six pass deflections, and a forced fumble so far this season.

OL Kyle Trout (transfer to Cincinnati Bearcats)

KYLE TROUT, OFFENSIVE LINEMAN, CINCINNATI
Following three years in the Ohio State program, Trout decided to leave Columbus in search of more playing time, and ended up following coach Luke Fickell to Cincinnati. Last season, Trout played in nine games for the Bearcats, six of which he started at left tackle.

So far this year, he has played in every game for the Bearcats, and had an interesting time at El Toro last Tuesday.

DB Wayne Davis (transfer to James Madison Dukes)

WAYNE DAVIS, DEFENSIVE BACK, JAMES MADISON
Davis was another Buckeye who simply didn't crack the rotation. After leaving Ohio State, Davis returned to his home state of Virginia to play for James Madison. After redshirting his first year in Columbus, Davis played just 10 snaps in his freshman season, leading him to head elsewhere.

So far this season, Davis has recorded three tackles and an interception.

DB Rodjay Burns (transfer to Louisville Cardinals)

RODJAY BURNS, DEFENSIVE BACK, LOUISVILLE
The recruitment of Burns was an interesting one: he was committed to Louisville, then flipped to Ohio State, flipped again to Louisville (never officially de-committed from the Buckeyes, however), and finally back to Ohio State, where he played one season, recorded a tackle, and a pick-six.

During his redshirt sophomore campaign this season, Burns has played meaningful minutes for the Cardinals, recording 27 tackles, and one interception, which came in the Cardinals' loss to Virginia.

WR Alex Stump (transfer to Vanderbilt Commodores)

ALEX STUMP, WIDE RECEIVER, VANDERBILT
Unlike Grimes, Stump was not a "crown jewel" of Ohio State's recruiting class when he came in. The Cleveland native spent two seasons with the Buckeyes, catching one pass for eight yards before getting passed up on the depth chart and transferring to Vanderbilt.

So far this season, Stump has not recorded any statistics for the Commodores during his redshirt junior campaign.

Eldon Miller (Former OSU BBall Head Coach, 2x Sweet 16)

Ohio State men’s basketball | Blast from past: Former coach Eldon Miller to visit Thursday
By Adam Jardy
The Columbus Dispatch
Posted Oct 27, 2018 at 5:00 PMUpdated Oct 27, 2018 at 5:00 PM

Eldon Miller doesn’t describe himself as a “yesterday person” save for a specific, vital exception.

“I am not a yesterday person, other than people,” Miller said this week. “The only thing that’s important in my past is people and lessons you can learn. I’m a today person. I’m living with these guys, the (UNC) Pembroke Braves, and I’m loving it.”

Those worlds of yesterday and the present, as well as dozens of people important to his life, will all collide in an emotional way this week. When Ohio State opens the 2018-19 season with an exhibition Thursday night against the Division II Braves, the former Buckeyes coach will be on the bench for the start of his 11th season in his role as a volunteer assistant coach for a program led by his son, Ben.

The matchup initially was the brainchild of Ron Stokes, one of Miller’s former players and now the analyst for the team’s radio broadcasts. Stokes approached director of basketball operations David Egelhoff and coach Chris Holtmann, who gave the green light to the suggestion of playing the Braves.

Miller said he learned of the game when his son delivered the news as a present for his 79th birthday last summer.

“I was very excited,” he said. “I couldn’t believe it. My son is kind of a sneaky guy. It’s a great opportunity for (the Braves), but most of all, and I can’t emphasize this enough, I have a chance to see some people that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

During his 10 seasons with the Buckeyes from 1977 to ’86, Miller compiled a record of 174-120 and went 96-84 in Big Ten play, including three runner-up regular-season finishes, and twice reached the Sweet 16. In 1980, the Buckeyes were ranked No. 10 nationally but were knocked off by UCLA in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I was (usually) hired to try to build programs that were not competitive,” he said. “We certainly did that. Three years later we might have had the best team in the country and we got upset in the regional by UCLA.”



Midway through his 10th season at Ohio State, Miller and athletic director Rick Bay reached what was described as a mutual decision to make a coaching change. The decision allowed both parties to move on without Miller technically having been fired or quitting, and he ultimately accepted a job at Northern Iowa as the Buckeyes eventually hired Gary Williams as his replacement.

Miller said he doesn’t look back much, but that his contract situation — he had 10 one-year contracts, as was customary at the time — was certainly a challenge.

“I’m not disgruntled,” he said. “I had a great time there, but it was time for them to change and sometimes it means changing the head coach.”

A native of Gnadenhutten, Miller said he has frequently been back to Columbus over the years, both to visit his hometown and visit friends who remain in the area.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to bring a guy back that loves Ohio State and cares about the players that he coached,” Holtmann said. “We always want our guys to have an appreciation for what came before them and this is another way for them to acknowledge it, and it’s a way for us to acknowledge our former players.”

More than a dozen former players, coaches and managers — including the likes of Jim Cleamons, Keith Wesson and Larry Huggins — will enjoy the game together, as well as attend both a pre- and postgame reception for Miller. Holtmann said he plans to visit, as well. It’s exactly the reason why, in addition to being thrilled for the opportunity for the Braves to play the Buckeyes, Miller said he is touched by the gesture.

When asked how he thought the fans might greet him when his name is announced before the game, Miller chuckled.

“Don’t know,” he said. “Wouldn’t venture a guess. When you’re in coaching you get a lot of praise and a lot of criticism, and neither one of those things can impact you very much. Seeing some people and looking them in the eye and shaking hands with them, saying thanks, is basically what it’s all about.”

Favorite / Best tOSU Prof?

Charles Adams in what is now the John Glenn College.

Dr. Adams typically only taught PhD students, but taught a few master level classes I took. The way he ran his classes (lots of projects you had to quickly research, analyze and then present on) was the most beneficial for when I hit the real world. Plus, he taught you how to do a presentation properly. You know, not stand there and read what is on the screen which everyone could read. If you read it he would announce something along the lines of "This isn't story time. We know how to read."

Remember G.D. Ritzy's? Guess who's back in Columbus.

TOQrHgt.jpg


It's just Ritzy's now. It's at 4615 N. High St. in Clintonville, a few blocks north of Henderson/Cooke. I was too full after my burger to try the ice cream.

The burger was good. The fries were good but not as crispy and stiff as I remember them. It's been a long time, though, so I could be wrong. It was good enough that I'll go back.

They've only been open for a month or so. I hope they have success. I've got to go back soon for some ice cream.


used to be one on the NE corner of rte 40-lancaster ave in RBurg that i remember going to in middle school. loved that place

Penalties Question

So you're basically saying the latter happened, in my question? Because that set of circumstances happened, and the Big Ten refs gave Purdue a first down, where they otherwise would've been forced to attempt a field goal.

And this is why I'm really concerned about UFM and his mindset.

This was probably the only time Saturday I was really pissed off - they let that shit go without even a challenge or a complaint? Even as little as last year UFM would have lost his shit on the sideline about that call and the lack of explanation surrounding it.

Everyone seemed to just accept it when it was clearly incorrect. It's mind-boggling to me.
