www.on3.com www.on3.com

DeLong spent the past two seasons at Florida State. She appeared in 55 games as a freshman with a .333 batting average, but only made one appearance this past season. DeLong was the 25th overall recruit in the 2024 class. She was the third-ranked outfielder. DeLong returns to Ohio after attending Mechanicsburg High School.

How much should managers let bots do the thinking

Here's a link to the paper for you nerds who actually want to read analyze it:

And for the cool tomato in gumbo type kids, here's a perplexity AI summary of the paper:
Click to expand...
I'm glad that this is being written about. Not lying, as close as I am to this industry and for as much as I use AI, both in coding and writing, I absolutely think very differently than I did prior.

Some of it is in a bad way as this would suggest... it's easy to get lazy. I find when I'm coding / vibe coding I'm really lazy like that. If it doesn't run, it's way easier to fix in AI than it ever was when you had to bug trace.

Written word, however, I find that the benefits are that I spend less time thinking about how I'm going to say something and far more time thinking about the facts and information I'm trying to convey. Not infrequently I pass my AI-co-authored writing through a secondary model to validate and verify (e.g. work in Claude and validate with Gemini). Using a secondary model expressly for critique and a devil's advocate opinion is hugely important.

Ahhh... Fuck... who cares... this will all be over soon enough with impending retirement.

Coach Brian Hartline (National Champion, HC at USF)

Skull Session: Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery Among ESPN’s Top NFL Draft Prospects in 2026, Brian Hartline Ranks the Top Five Wide Receivers He Coached at Ohio State

Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery are among ESPN's top NFL draft prospects in 2026, and Brian Hartline ranks his top five Ohio State wide receivers.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

BRIAN HARTLINE’S TOP FIVE. Last week, Brian Hartline appeared on Steve Smith’s 89 podcast, where he joined Smith and James Palmer to discuss his journey to becoming USF’s head coach, wide receiver non-negotiables, transparency in the NIL era, and his evaluation of Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Login to view embedded media
Perhaps most interesting for Eleven Warriors readers was Smith’s list of the top 10 wide receivers Hartline coached at Ohio State, which we’ll examine below (Smith only ranked former Buckeyes, so Jeremiah Smith is not included):

  1. Marvin Harrison Jr.
  2. Garrett Wilson
  3. Chris Olave
  4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
  5. Emeka Egbuka
  6. Devin Smith
  7. Michael Thomas
  8. Parris Campbell
  9. K.J. Hill
  10. Terry McLaurin
Hartline told Steve Smith he didn’t coach Devin Smith or Michael Thomas, so Smith allowed him to swap those Buckeyes out of his list. Hartline then added Austin Mack and Jameson Williams instead, without revealing where they should land in Smith’s revised top 10.

2028 FL WR Brysen Wright (Verbal Offer)

pnuts34
Per 11w poster:
Brysen Wright’s father with an encouraging interview today saying they’re looking for proof of concept over anything else, a school who’s shown they can handle and develop a player of his caliber. A school that has a plan for his son and puts WRs high in the draft.

Said Ohio State and Miami are currently standing out because they are the schools that have been doing that.

Said NIL is the least of their family’s concern because Wright is the best player in the class so every school will be around the same number NIL wise. They’re looking for relationships, development and a place where he will be held accountable and be better than the last time he saw him.
Click to expand...
A quote that stood out to me, his dad said they have a window to commit but it won’t be too soon or too late, he said his son really wants to win a championship so they want to see how the season goes for teams because a team can go 12-0 one year and 4-8 the next year.

To me that quote is certainly directed at Miami who made the playoffs for the first time in the playoff era.

Concussions, CTE, and other traumatic brain injuries in football

Family of Aldon Smith having his brain checked for CTE​

The family of Aldon Smith has decided to send his brain to medical experts in Boston to see whether chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) played a role in the former NFL defensive lineman's death.

Smith died Saturday at the age of 36, hours after he had delivered pizzas to a homeless charity.

No cause of death has been given. Smith's family has hired attorneys to help investigate his death.

"As with anyone who dies so suddenly at such a young age, we understand that there is a great deal of interest in and speculation about Aldon Smith's passing and we intend to get to the bottom of it," attorneys Harry Daniels, Bakari Sellers and Wayne Kendall said Tuesday in a statement. "To that end, we have taken a number of steps including sending his brain to Boston where medical experts will examine it for CTE as well as other damage caused by years of concussions and additional trauma.

"In the meantime, we simply ask you to keep Aldon's family in our prayers and respect their privacy as they struggle to come to grips with this terrible loss."

Re: In 2015, the NFL concussion lawsuit was settled, and the terms included:
  • Compensation: Players may receive up to $5 million based on the severity of their diagnosed conditions.
Just sayin': With the lawyers involved I'm guessing that they want to find out if they would be eligible for some compensation (i.e. money) from the NFL Concussion class action lawsuit settlement.

2027 OH WR Jamier Brown is a Buckeye!!!

Brown did not name the schools that tried to use this tactic to entice him, although he should have. That's an incredibly unethical way to land a recruit. Not only is that degrading to the women who are being offered up, but it's degrading to Brown to think that he would be swayed by such a tactic.

Obviously, Brown turned down those offers. He has stayed loyal to the Ohio State Buckeyes for a year and a half at this point. It doesn't look like any school has a chance to flip him. He's an Ohio kid, and he knows how well the Buckeyes do developing receivers, even without Hartline on staff.

A kid like Brown should keep an old guy like me on payroll to be the buffer against all that degrading stuff.

A degradation consultant if you will.

Last concert you saw?

Saw the Decembrists there a couple of years ago. The Mission is a popular venue here. And yes, I’ve lived in Denver since 1995.

I was amazed how that room sounds. Streetlight is 1 guitar, 1 bass, 1 drummer, 2-3 saxophones, 1 trombone and 1 trumpet. In a crap room (I’m looking at you Aragon Ballroom in Chicago), it just turns in to a mush of sound. The Mission was loud but every instrument was clear as a bell. I’m a fan (of the room).

Skull Session: Marcus Fakatou Shares a Behind-the-Scenes Look of His Ohio State Official Visit, Chris Henry Jr. Looks Juiced After an Offseason in Mick Marotti’s Strength Program

Marcus Fakatou shares a behind-the-scenes look of his Ohio State official visit, and Chris Henry Jr. looks shredded after an offseason in Mick Marotti's strength program.

BODY BY MICK. I mentioned Mick Marotti's strength program earlier. Here's a glimpse of what it can do for a player who attacks the weight room and takes advantage of Ohio State's nutrition program:

Login to view embedded media
Henry had four catches for 96 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's spring game on April 18. Less than two months later, he appears to have added some good weight and plenty of muscle definition.

In other words, the man is looking yoked.

That should be an unsettling development for Ohio State's 2026 opponents.
