2027 OH OL Kellen Wymer is a Buckeye!!!

If he's dunking at 6'5", then either the hoop has been lowered, or he's a heckuva athlete. Was 6'5", and only 190 lbs in HS, and still could only occasionally stuff the ball. Am guessing the hoop is still 10', and the athletes of today are bigger, better, faster, and have more hops. Glad to see the human race is getting better.

These 2 are both 6'5. It looks like you didn't have the hops and athleticism, lol. No shade, I'm 5'10 and could only dream of just stuffing the ball :lol:

And he's 6'2 Lincoln Kienholz getting up

LB Darron Lee (yikes)

Ex-NFL linebacker Darron Lee indicted on murder charge​

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee has been indicted on a murder charge in the death of his partner.

A grand jury in Hamilton County returned an indictment Tuesday. Prosecutors dismissed a tampering with evidence charge to focus solely on the more serious allegation, Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp said.

The state is pursuing a first-degree murder conviction, which carries a life sentence. The decision on whether to pursue the death penalty against Lee will be made in the coming weeks, Wamp said.

Lee is accused of killing Gabriella Perpetuo, 29, in February. A medical examiner listed Perpetuo's cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries, and the autopsy report listed 12 different injuries, including multiple hematomas, bone fractures and stab wounds.

At the time of Lee's arrest, he was on probation in Franklin County, Ohio, and Alachua County, Florida, after he was charged in three separate alleged assaults involving another man, Lee's mother and the mother of his child, court records showed.

Prosecutors accused Lee of asking ChatGPT how to get medical help without calling the police. He asked the artificial intelligence assistant whether a fall could cause bruising to two eyes and "two stabby looking wounds," according to evidence presented in court.

Lee remains in the Hamilton County Jail without bond.

2026 Spring Practices, Spring Game, and other Tidbits

I love watching these two, Tony and Tom, and enjoying their bid heads, broad smiles, and brotherly chemistry.
I agree. Totally my favs on the beat. Especially since recruiting is less of an emphasis these days. I still think Birm is the best in the biz on the recruiting front, but for pure Buckeye entertainment value? Tom and Tony all day long.

2027 GA DB Bryce Woods (VA Tech Verbal)

Probably a faster way onto the field. Merely my opinion, could see that happening. Maybe a connection to Franklin, hard to tell. Anyway, this young man made a decision best for him, so good luck to him. tOSU will survive this, as we have so many others, and remained as strong as they come. Could recite a number of stale platitudes here, but you guys can probably recite them better than I. Good luck to him.

The Memorial (Jack's Tourney)

Thanks Script. You've given me more information (in one spot), than could find googling golf courses. Just bought a home a long block from Golf Club of Dublin. Wife and I had lunch there, and got educated from the GM. Course looks nice. Don't plan on making a CC decision until next year. Will play GC of Dublin when arrive (September), until the snow puts the courses to sleep. Start fresh in spring. Totally surprised at number of courses in the area, what around 10-12 (depending on how far you want to travel). After 26 years of country clubs, there are advantages and disadvantages. GM told me about the six courses, so that's attractive. Will miss the 'group' that play with. Just show up, and you're in the match. Anyway, looking forward to it. PS, seems like there is hard membership drives going on. Have two CCs that are very aggressive.
