Will watch to see whether the 'wanna be a Buckeye' idea lasts past Coach Mick's winter training. And when one starts jacking weights next to someone who's competing for your position. Plus who's ahead of you on the two-deep. All sorts of 'what-ifs' abound. Yeah, do hope that this class stays relatively intact. For whatever reason, don't believe tOSU will be going after many 'projects' as normally do, probably more wanting to harvest from the portal. Noticed there was a fair amount of Ohio players that both left, and were in the mix to come back to Ohio...Also believe that a couple of classes were gutted by the portal, which leaves a vaccuum to be filled, hopefully by this year's recruits. Lastly, if one recruits based on NIL, then that recruit will be swayed by some other team illegally contacting a player for more cash/playing time etc.

One thing about these difficult rebuilding seasons under Rohlik is that he always has the team showing real improvement late in the season, and then they come out strong the next year. If history is any predictor, we'll be picked to finish last in the B1G next year and will end up making the tournament.

Tight ends seems a little steep or no? I could probably be convinced but I’m a little off with that grade. I thought the group was super consistent throughout the season and was more on the B or B+ side of things unless run blocking scores just wrecked them?

My man has got some lanky, slim legs. He and Henry are the real deal though and there's already an alien on one side of the field. Good problems

The schedule is rough this year. I love it!

Did they hire the people who did the ill-fated Cracker Barrel rebranding?

Fork Union doing their own recruiting by continuing to highlight Eddie.

Smart.

A much needed breather of a win.

Finished the Wonder Man series on Disney. It was really solid and more character driven then anything else. Definitely a recommend from me.

And I still love The Pitt. What a great show!

Mercer just dunking on Lakota now. 2 dunks and a put back layup (after poking Tyson in the eye). Santiago is hitting 3s for Princeton and they have shaved the deficit, score now 23-16 with 3 minutes left in the half.

Lakota's other top recruit, Curry, is missing a lot of shots.

My man playing 20+ NBA seasons. Couldn’t do one more at tOSU?! CMON

Not with their batting average;-)

Brock Williams RPM to UGA

Now the AP's OPOY!!!

Oh, wow. Didn't know that Henry had a brother. Most of the pub is on how ex-pros took him under their wing(s), but didn't realize there was another brother. Not much about him, but hope he joins his brother in Columbus town.

Well, if our new OC isn't good at getting the "Jimmys and the Joes", then he'd best be good at the 'X's and the O's". But it does make an impact on the recruits that the 'big guy' comes to see them. Day makes his appearance as the coup d' grace on a recruit, and the OC and DC make almost same impact. Guess as a difference maker/decision maker.

College football is “mirroring” college wrestling in many regards. NCAA increased scholarship count to (30) for P4 conferences….up from (10ish) they used to have.

On the surface, it appeared that would help more kids get scholarship opportunity. The opposite has happened though….where schools used to carry up to 50 wrestlers that could get partial scholarships, now it’s reduced to exactly 30. When that is multiplied across all programs, you see a huge net decrease in wrestlers on teams.

Division I football teams can now disperse up to 105 scholarships (in an increase from the 85 limit).

Very few teams will carry more than 75-80 scholarship players anymore because of NIL. We are going to see fewer DI players with a 105 limit, than when the limit was 85, because of NIL.

Wonder how many botched landings separate #3 from #6? And wish the football team could/would score as many points as the gymnasts do...

Not going to lie, watching some of the ‘Pat Casts’ kinda feel like watching the game with my guys. But only if my guys knew more.

I guess I aged out of the drunken frat boy demographic. He does some good interviews..I’ll give you that.

Sucks to suck.
