The Buckeyes are putting the finishing touches on their 2018 recruiting class, while also sending out offers to 2019 and 2020 prospects.

With just days remaining before National Signing Day, the Ohio State Buckeyes football program welcomed in a handful of recruits over this past weekend. One of them being five-star 2018 offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere out of Tampa, Fla.

In recent weeks, Petit-Frere took visits to Alabama and Florida, while also entertaining offers from Notre Dame, Michigan, Auburn, Georgia and more.

Petit-Frere is the top offensive lineman in this year’s recruiting class, and the seventh ranked player in the country—and it appears that his decision will come down to OSU, Notre Dame and Florida. The stud lineman will make his announcement in a ceremony at his high school, Berkeley Prep, at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 7.

The Buckeyes were also slated to host 2018 Dayton three-star running back and former Oklahoma pledge Tavion Thomas over the weekend, but according to reports, that trip didn’t take place. The 18th RB nationally, and the 13th player from Ohio in this recruiting cycle, Thomas released his final four on Sunday and is apparently considering Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee, and Cincinnati, with UC and head coach Luke Fickell leading the way.

While Urban Meyer and his staff are looking to put the finishing touches on the 2018 class, they were also keeping an eye on next year’s class as well. Over the weekend, OSU welcomed in four-star defensive backs Ronnie Hickman and Cam’Ron Kelly.

Hickman is the second-rated player from New Jersey, and Kelly is the sixth rated player from Virginia. Hickman, who is also classified as an athlete, is the No. 107 player in his class, according to 247 Sports, while Kelly is No. 180.

Buckeyes dish out 5 scholarship offers


If you’ve been following Ohio State football recruiting closely, then you probably know that Urban Meyer and his staff have been putting in work on the recruiting trail.

Recently handing out a long list of scholarships offers to underclassmen across the country, Meyer and crew didn’t switch things up over the weekend.

Offering five top prospects, the following recruits earned a chance to rock the Scarlet and Gray on the college level:

TE Brayden Liebrock


Class: 2019

Town: Chandler,AZ/Chandler

Size: 6’5/220

Offers: Ohio State, Arizona State, California, Notre Dame, Memphis, Etc

Thoughts: “I called coach (Ryan) Day and he handed the phone to coach Urban Meyer and he broke the news. I am just very blessed for the opportunity. Hopefully I will be able to get up there for a visit.”

OG Jakai Moore


Class: 2019

Town: Nokesville,VA/Patriot

Size: 6’6/295

Offers: Ohio State, Louisville, Maryland, Penn State, South Carolina, Etc

Thoughts: “Coach (Larry) Johnson told my head coach to call him and this guy who works with me for football named Sudan Ellington. I talked to coach Johnson and coach Johnson said that they want me. It’s big. I think of all these years of OSU being such a great football program and what Urban Meyer’s [sic] done with it and continuing to do.”

S Tyler Rudolph


Class: 2019

Town: Waterbury,CT/St. Thomas More

Size: 6’1/197

Offers: Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Etc

S Bryson Shaw


Class: 2019

Town: Potomac,MD/The Bullis School

Size: 6’2/175

Offers: Current Wisconsin commit

DT Cole Brevard


Class: 2020

Town: Carmel,IN/Carmel

Size: 6’3/280

Offers: Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Indiana, Louisville

Quick Hits

• Urban Meyer made the trek out to Bishop Hendricken in Warwick, Rhode Island on Friday to mingle with four-star class of 2019 offensive tackle Xavier Truss. A massive prospect at 6-foot-7 and well over 300 pounds, Truss has picked up offers from not just Ohio State, but also programs such as Virginia Tech, Florida State, Florida and Oklahoma this winter.
• Before their game with Illinois on Sunday, the basketball Buckeyes offered 2019 Paul VI Catholic (VA) four-star combo guard Anthony Harris a scholarship to attend Ohio State. Receiving his offer from OSU during his unofficial visit to campus, Harris adds his opportunity with the Buckeyes alongside college options like Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and UCF to name a few off his growing list of potential landing spots.
• Like Harris, Chris Holtmann and the Ohio State coaching staff also handed out a scholarship offer to four-star class of 2019 shooting guard David Johnson while he was on campus for the Buckeyes come from behind win. A Louisville native, Johnson was previously verbally committed to his hometown Cardinals before opening his recruitment backup in October.

I’m the Wife of a Former N.F.L. Player. Football Destroyed His Mind.


By EMILY KELLY
FEB. 2, 2018

My husband, Rob Kelly, is a retired N.F.L. player. After five seasons as a safety beginning in the late 1990s, four with the New Orleans Saints and one with the New England Patriots, he sustained an injury to a nerve between his neck and shoulder during training camp that ended his career. By the time he retired in 2002 at 28, he had been playing tackle football for about two decades.

Rob had no idea, however, that all those years of playing would have such serious consequences. Safeties are the last line of defense and among the hardest hitters in the game. One tackle he attempted while playing for the Saints was so damaging, he doesn’t remember the rest of the game. He got up, ran off the field and tried to go back in — as an offensive player. He knows this only because people told him the next day.

Professional football is a brutal sport, he knew that. But he loved it anyway. And he accepted the risks of bruises and broken bones. What he didn’t know was that along with a battered body can come a battered mind.

For decades, it was not well understood that football can permanently harm the brain. Otherwise, many parents would most likely not have signed their boys up to play. But this reality was obscured by the N.F.L.’s top medical experts, who for years had denied any link between the sport and long-term degenerative brain diseases like C.T.E., chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Beat me to it. This hits home. I remember watching Rob as a Buckeye. A freightening portrait of what concussions can lead to.

No. 17 Ohio State hangs on in back-and-forth game against Illinois, 75-67

It wasn’t pretty, but the basketball Buckeyes found a way to pick up their 20th win of the season.

It didn’t look good in the early going for the No. 17 Ohio State Buckeyes (20-5, 11-1) but in the end, they got the win against the Illinois Fighting Illini (15-12, 2-9), 75-67.

The Buckeyes trailed by as many as 15 points, but behind a scoring run sparked by Keita Bates-Diop in the first half, the Chris Holtmann coached squad picked up their 11th win in conference play, and 20th win on the campaign.




Bates-Diop had an electric first half, scoring 17 points. By the time the clock hit all zeros, KBD ended the game with a new career-high in scoring. He ended the game with 35 points and 13 rebounds. After today’s performance, the forward now has tallied 10 double-doubles on the season—and 16 for his career. Additionally, the Normal, Ill. native passed Carter Scott and Scoonie Penn on OSU’s all-time scoring list.

Even though Bates-Diop led the charge, Jae’Sean Tate followed second in scoring for OSU on the afternoon, scoring 11 points against the Illini.

Not to be lost in the shuffle, there was another double-double effort by a Buckeye. Freshman Kaleb Wesson put up 10 points and 10 boards to claim his first double-double.

Turnovers were a constant theme in the game. Illinois committed 11 of them, while Ohio State committed 15 dastardly TOs. Even though the visiting side led the points off turnover margin (16-10), the Buckeyes made up for it by out scoring the Illini 38-16 on paint points.

Here’s how this one went down:

In his first career start, Andre Wesson— due to Kam Williams’ indefinite suspension— got off on the right track by slamming home a dunk to give the Buckeyes the opening basket. A good start for the Scarlet and Gray was met by the Illini answering back with a run; a 6-0 run behind two three-pointers from Michael Finke and Mark Alstork was how the Illini charged out to an early 8-4 lead with 17:52 left in the half.

Bates-Diop broke up the run with a jumper, followed up by Tate nailing a three of his own. On Illinois’ next possession, Leron Black made a rebuttal three, bringing the score to an 11-9 advantage to the visitors at the first media timeout.

Illinois was aggressive on the floor early, but quickly had two fouls to show for it; Ohio State on the other hand, went the first six minutes without committing an infraction. Staying out of foul trouble was mashed with a 2-minute scoring drought (as well as three turnovers in the same stretch).

Adding to the game was, well, the ability for the game to not happen. The shot clock malfunctioned, and caused a brief stoppage of play on the floor. A little break helped the Illini’s offensive efforts, as they bagged a couple of makes from Mark Alstork. Chris Holtmann burned a timeout to reset his team, as Ohio State trailed 21-13 with 12:30 remaining. Going into the timeout, Illinois had made four of their last five shots, and pushed out to their largest lead (8) of the game at this point.

Coming out of the timeout, Illinois continued to put points on the board. Five more unanswered points by the team from Champaign, Ill., cemented an 11-0 run. Alstork sparked the run, and crossed into double-digit scoring before being called to the bench with 10:51. With 9:21 left in the half, the Illini commanded a double-digit lead, 31-17.

Three-point shots weren’t falling for OSU in the first half. Bates-Diop clanked on a three, and after getting the offensive rebound, Andrew Dakich clanked a three-pointer, too. Ohio State was 1-for-7 from beyond the arc in the early going; Illinois was 4-of-7.

By the time the under-8 minute media timeout arrived with 7:04 left before halftime, both teams were struggling to get consistent scoring. The Illini were in the midst of a 3-minute scoring drought—which also included three turnovers in the same stretch of time. The Buckeyes couldn’t take advantage of the struggle, as they went over a minute and a half since their last basket, a Bates-Diop dunk at the 8:45 mark.

Play resumed with Illinois up 30-19, but things were about to shake up inside Value City Arena. Ohio State went on an 11-0 run, with Bates-Diop scoring all the points. Two free throws, a tip-in, a three-pointer and another dunk punctuated a nine-point KBD scoring drive after the media timeout. At this point, KBD was the leading scorer on the floor with 17 points.

With 5:19 left, Tate put up a layup, squaring the game at 30. That would be the score as the under-4 minute media timeout arrived with 3:30 remaining in the half. The Buckeyes had pulled back into the game, thanks to KBD scoring at will and the Illini going on a 6-plus minute scoring drought.

Back in action, Kaleb Wesson missed a jumper, but got the rebound and connected on a layup. It took a while, but the Buckeyes had the lead again, 32-30, with 3:12 in the half. Both teams would be without points for the next few possessions, but Wesson broke up the monotony with a couple of free throws at the :59 second mark.

At halftime, the score would be 34-30 in favor of the Buckeyes. Yes, Illinois had the same points they did at around the halfway point of the half. The Illini went the final 10:11 without a point, turned the ball over eight times on the same stretch, and missed nine straight shots, yet still only trailed by four points. Ohio State engineered the comeback behind a 21-2 run to close out the first half.

A made free throw by Bates-Diop, and a three-pointer by the Illini would start off the second half. Shortly after, a foul by Andre Wesson sent Kipper Nichols to the line, where he make both freebies. Right after that, KBD went back to his scoring ways, knocking down a two-pointer to pull the Buckeyes up 37-35, then followed that up with another slamma-jamma dunk. With that, the under-16 minute timeout arrived with the Buckeyes holding the lead, 39-35, with 15:40 left in regulation.

Unlike the first half, the Illini didn’t go for long stretches without points. Nichols dropped another three-pointer into the basket and Black connected on a layup to counteract five KBD free throws that were made over the course of a couple of minutes. OSU still had the lead though, 45-42, with less than eight minutes off of the clock.

As Ohio State pulled up to a six-point lead, 50-44, with 10:22 left, the Illini got a boost via two critical three-pointers from Trent Frazier and Aaron Jordan. Shortly later, Alstork stole an inbound pass, hit a layup and got fouled. After completing the three-point play the old fashion way, the Illini recaptured the lead, 53-52. Another poked ball led to Mark Smith collecting the leather and driving it to the basket where he was fouled by KBD. He made both free throws, and pulled the visitors up 55-52 heading into an OSU timeout.

After getting back from the break, Holtmann gave the referees an earful, as Tate was called for a technical foul due to some extracurricular activities prior to the media timeout. The frustrations were compounded by the fact that Illinois was on a 9-0 run, while Ohio State committed four turnovers and scored zero points over a 2:17 period of time. Another timeout—this time the under-8 media one—arrived with the Illini up 56-52.

Tate was fouled and sent to the line, making both his free throws. On the other end, Frazier quickly answered with a two of his own—negating the free throws. Rinse and repeat on the next series of points: Kaleb Wesson making two freebies, followed by Frazier making another two-point shot.

C.J. Jackson, who had a quiet afternoon, came up big with a pair of made free throws after getting fouled by Alstork. Like the Frazier rebuttals, Alstork answered back with a jumper. Jackson, who missed his prior seven shots, made his first basket of the day to pull the Buckeyes within two, 62-60.

Alstork would make it a three-point led after splitting a pair of free throws. However, that lead quickly evaporated after KBD nailed a downtown shot to tie the game at 63-63 with 5:04 remaining.

The final media timeout at 3:50 remaining concluded with the score still tied at 63.

After getting subbed in after the timeout, Kaleb Wesson made an immediate impact: a made layup. The Buckeyes took the lead back with 3:39 left. The drama would only intensify as the Illini lost possession of the ball, leading to Alstork running into Jackson. Jackson went to the line for free shots, splitting them.

The three-point shot abandoned the Illini on the next possession, as Frazier couldn’t get the swish; on the other end, Dakich delivered a layup with KBD getting the assist. Another Frazier miss—this time a layup—led to Jackson putting in a layup. Ohio State led 70-63 with 1:41 remaining.

Jordan made a much needed Illini three to cut the Buckeyes’ lead to four. However, it was too little too late, as the Scarlet and Gray survived the scare—and now head into a showdown in West Lafayette, Ind.

Next up for the Ohio State Buckeyes are the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers. That game is set for Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on BTN.

The redshirt senior’s suspension comes from a violation of team rules.

Hours before the Ohio State Buckeyes were set to take on the Illinois FIghting Illini on the hardwood, an announcement came out that redshirt senior guard Kam Williams was suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.


The suspension is a blow to the Buckeyes’ on-court production and leadership. Williams is averaging 8.0 points per game, and tied a career-high in rebounds (6) against Indiana—Ohio State’s last opponent. Looking into the near future, Williams needs 28 more points to become the latest member of the 1,000-point club at OSU.

Amongst the team, Williams is the most senior of members when it comes to getting into the game. He’s played in 126 games, starting in 47 of them.

On the season, Ohio State is 19-5 (10-1), and takes on the Illini at the Value City Arena at noon. After Illinois, the Buckeyes are in a primetime showdown with No. 3 Purdue on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
