Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Hey, don't forget basketball players! The courage and stick-to-itnivess when facing a run by other team, and the grit and determination to climb back out of that hole to retake the lead, probably more than once a game, is also a trait one wants in a teammate, or work candidate.

Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

You can argue whether they know what they are doing, but you can't argue over whether they are trying right now.
For sure. We're making bold moves in the right areas, finally not being such cheap bastards, and making tough decisions. Plus I really like last year's rookie class...yeah we had a shit season, but it let us play them a ton early and eventually they started shining. I wouldn't be surprised if the defense is one of the most improved units in the league...if they aren't, Golden can pack his bags because the time is now.

Kentucky Wildcats (official thread)

Four-star UK QB signee now says his top goal is to sign pro baseball contract

Matt Ponatoski, a Moeller High School football and baseball standout who committed to play quarterback for the Kentucky Wildcats, said the MLB draft in July remains his first option.

“Option 1A is to go be a (MLB) draft pick and go get drafted and go be in an organization at 18 rather than go to college and be in an organization at 21, which is not a bad option either. I want to be drafted. That’s 1A for sure.”

And the chances that he never makes it to campus appear to be increasing. “I think people who don’t talk to me face to face might get an idea that I want to go play college football,” four-star quarterback signee Matt Ponatoski said in an appearance on Overslotbaseball.com podcast that published over the weekend. “I do, but that’s option 1B.

In February, UK baseball coach Nick Mingione said his staff had already coordinated with the new football staff to develop a plan for Ponatoski to play both sports in college. At the time, Baseball America ranked him as the 56th-best 2026 draft prospect, but those rankings have slipped over the course of his senior season. Now, Baseball America ranks him as the 55th-best high school prospect in the draft, but outside the top 100 eligible players at No. 139.

WR Jeremiah Smith (All B1G, B1G Freshman of Year, B1G WR of Year, Unanimous All-American, 2025 Rose Bowl Off MVP, National Champion)

He mentioned he was offered 10 mill to transfer and somewhere I saw he made 2.5 or something last year. While I don't think OSU matched you'd think they would have to at least up their present number.

Just sayin': I know that you can't always believe what is reported; however, here is what was reported....:confused:

Ohio State Splashes $5M on Jeremiah Smith; Forces Program to Extend Roster Value to $43.5M

The Ohio State Buckeyes put together a reported $5 million package to keep star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in Columbus. It shows how far programs are now willing to go in the NIL era. Smith’s reported package became one major piece of a much costlier Ohio State roster, which is now valued at nearly $43.5 million.

Think of a team like a family budget, where the entire Ohio State roster cost around $35 million last year. When rival schools wave $10 million offers to poach your best player, securing Smith sets a new baseline for everyone else. This dynamic forced the Buckeyes to stretch their total roster value to nearly $43.5 million just to keep their championship core intact.

At this point, the WR is a favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. He recorded 1,243 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 13 games. He became one of the few Buckeyes to cement 1000 yards in 2 back-to-back seasons. However, the youngster still displays loyalty towards his team and aims to win a College Football Playoff national championship with the Buckeyes. One of the main schools rumored to be hellbent on making Smith jump ship is the WR’s hometown, Miami.
