To the Land of the Free, because of the Brave.

Well, from what I remember from my bball days, a 'putback' entails grabbing a rebound and putting it in the basket. Chalk up one rebound and two points for whomever does this. Both are good looks in my opinion. Blocked shots are a good thing as well, as it prevents two points by the opponent. Also alters shots for the rest of the game, which ultimately lowers FG percentage. All sound like plusses to me....

Just sayin': Look who is predicting that Brock Williams will flip to Ohio State.

Ohio State football commitment Brady Edmunds says the Buckeyes will be stealing away a five-star recruit from the Texas Longhorns​

Ohio State QB commit Brady Edmunds reveals the player who’ll end up signing with the Buckeyes ​

The Buckeyes don’t yet have a tight end committed for the class of 2027, which will change at some point. When four-star Libertyville (Ill) TE Brock Williams committed to Texas, it was a miss for tight ends coach Keenan Bailey for the Buckeyes. Ohio State recruited Williams hard until close to his commitment to Texas on May 15 when it was clear he was trending toward the Longhorns.

Ohio State’s 2027 QB commit believes the Buckeyes will end up getting the elite tight end recruit.

“Brock Williams is going to flip from Texas to Ohio State on Signing Day,” Edmunds said via 247 Sports.

Edmunds has long been a recruiter for the Buckeyes since he committed in December of 2024. Even as his commitment to Ohio State feels a bit rocky, he’s clearly still trying to lure elite talent with him to Columbus, which may say something about where things really stand with him.

According to 247 Sports Composite, Williams is the No. 4 tight end and No. 79 overall player in the class of 2027. Ohio State, Texas, and Alabama were all amongst the top schools for Williams — but he ended up selecting the Longhorns.

Ohio State will keep trying to flip Williams until the pen hits the paper, and Edmunds believes they eventually will. There’s no doubt the Ohio State QB commit wants to be throwing to Williams in the future, we’ll see if what he said becomes reality down the road.

Gives me big time DeForest Buckner vibes. That would be a good thing, but obviously in S&G.

Ohio State Board of Trustees Approves Final $100 Million Settlement with Richard Strauss Sexual Abuse Survivors​

The Ohio State Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to approve a $100 million settlement with hundreds of survivors of former university doctor Richard Strauss.

The resolution is expected to serve as the final settlement in the ongoing fallout from the Strauss sexual abuse cases. The measure was included in a consent agenda containing dozens of items, which the board approved unanimously.

State president Ravi Bellamkonda said Strauss survivors will always remain part of the Buckeye family and community.

We continue to be very grateful to them for their courage in coming forward — and reaching a final resolution was very important to us as an important step forward,” said Bellamkonda, who became Ohio State’s 18th president on March 12.

Trustees did not disclose details of the settlement during the meeting. Board chair John Zeiger said the terms remain confidential and cannot be made public until the agreement is finalized. Zeiger acknowledged that the public will have questions about what he called “this substantial development” and said the university intends to provide answers when it is able to do so.

It’s important we respect the court’s order and comply with the mediator’s directive,” Zeiger said. “But we will provide additional information on this resolution when we are positioned to do so.”

The university and the plaintiffs released the following joint statement after Wednesday’s board meeting:

Ohio State and 279 of the 280 individual remaining Richard Strauss survivors involved in the pending litigation have reached settlements in principle in a total amount of $100 million. The university’s Board of Trustees has now publicly ratified these agreements in principle, and all parties thank the mediators for their assistance. The mediation and its confidentiality are continuing as the parties work to finalize the details of the settlements, and additional information will be shared as appropriate.

Before Wednesday’s vote, Ohio State had paid more than $61 million to 317 survivors since March 2020. The university also reached settlements with more than a dozen survivors in April.

Devin Sanchez sounds like he’s ready to be THE guy in Ohio State’s secondary​

Several Ohio State football players were at the Memorial Tournament on Wednesday and sophomore Devin Sanchez was amongst the group. The second-year cornerback is going to be relied on as a starter in Ohio State’s secondary, and potentially even their top cornerback.

“I feel great,” Sanchez stated. “I feel like I can be one of the best corners in the nation. I’m gonna be one of the best corners in the nation. I feel like guys should really watch out for me because I’m not freshman Devin no more.”

No surprise, its been leaning this way for months. No reason to pay big money to 2 small WRs with similar games(McFarland and Brown)

Ball bonks off Angels OF Adell's head, over fence for home run​

Login to view embedded media
Los Angeles Angels right fielder Jo Adell made headlines in April when he robbed three home runs in one game. On Tuesday night at Angel Stadium, he gave one back.

In a play he would probably like to forget, Adell raced toward the right-field wall to track down a fly ball off TJ Rumfield's bat in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies.

Adell appeared to get under the ball for an easy out, but in a flashback to the infamous Jose Canseco play from May 1993, the ball nicked off his glove, then bounced off his head and over the fence for a solo home run.

"It's one of those things where how it happened looks crazy," said Adell, who went 0-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts. "It looks like I've never played in the field before, which is disappointing, because it's beyond the truth, but it is what it is. I'm the only one that really knows what happened. I was out there, and it happened to me, so it is what it is. I've got to just keep going, and as a team, we've got to keep going."

The play bore an eerie resemblance to Canseco's defensive blunder from 33 years ago, which happened when he was a member of the Texas Rangers and also occurred at the right-field wall. The Rangers lost that game 7-6 to Cleveland.

Adell actually made a similar outfield gaffe against the Rangers on Aug. 9, 2020, his rookie season, when a fly ball bounced off his glove -- but not his head -- and went over the fence. The play did not go down as a homer, however; instead, Adell was charged with a rare four-base error.
