looks like maybe OK weather tomorrow and Sunday - strongly considering going out to get at least a few holes in - my course never "closes", when i joined the club manager told me that a guy went out last january to play one hole on his 95th birthday or something like that.

Also just bought the boy a new to him driver for Christmas, so i'm guessing we'll either go out late december or early january - or at least to a golf sim restaurant

Birm mentioned this in one of their casts. He said, “other guys have gone through (senior walk) twice…”

I’m sure that Hinzman knows this. I also see it as encouraging that he’d return. That’d shape up to be one hell of a line.

And I think they could have a battle between Padilla and Van Sickle at RG and Cook be the backup Center

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

No doubt he's killing it on the recruiting trail at the moment.

I wasn't expecting him to get us to the top of the B1G out of the gate, but it would be nice to make the tournament again at least. Last year was an incredibly frustrating season. Hopefully we see improvement from this team as this season goes along and they get there.

I agree that it would be nice to see these guys make the tournament, but even if they come up short I don't think it makes sense to put him on the hot seat or anything like that. IMO, there's just been way too much change within the program and in college sports to not have more patience to let the man really build the program, especially when he's having some success lining up future stars.

Last year was disappointing. In hindsight, obviously the losses of two solid starters to transfer & having to scramble to replace them in the spring with a brand new coach really put the program in a bind. I do think the transfers Diebler has brought in for this season seem to fit better within the team concept than a couple of the transfers he signed last season, so they should at least be a more cohesive team even if they don't have the same level of talent. My hope is Ojianwuna will eventually play this season, and I believe he is the key to them really having a tournament team.

2026 NFL Draft April 23 - 25 at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh

Skull Session: Ohio State’s Seniors Have Unfinished Business, Four Buckeyes Appear in Matt Miller’s Latest Mock Draft and Bo Jackson is One of College Football’s Top Freshmen

Ohio State's seniors have unfinished business, four Buckeyes appear in Matt Miller's latest mock draft and Bo Jackson is one of college football's top freshmen.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com
DEVELOPED HERE. Ohio State could have four (maybe even five!) first-round picks in the 2026 NFL draft.
This week, ESPN’s Matt Miller released a new mock draft featuring four Buckeyes in his top 32 picks. The list starts with Arvell Reese and continues with Caleb Downs, Carnell Tate, and Kayden McDonald.

No. 6 - Arvell Reese, New Orleans Saints​

If the Saints move forward with Tyler Shough at quarterback, they'll be left with two obvious needs: edge rusher and wide receiver. Drafting the best player available from those positions is the move for GM Mickey Loomis, and Reese is arguably the nation's top player this season. He aligns at both linebacker and edge rusher for Ohio State, with 6.5 sacks, 17 pressures and 58 tackles this season. His ability to impact the game with an explosive first step would bring a spark to the Saints' front four that has been missing since Trey Hendrickson left in free agency after the 2020 season.

No. 9 - Caleb Downs, Arizona Cardinals​

Downs is the top player on my board and the Cardinals could use a safety upgrade, so this would be a marriage of need and value. Safety might not be Arizona's biggest need -- that depends on what happens with Murray at QB -- but stealing the best player of the draft while improving the back end is how smart teams are built. Jalen Thompson will be a free agent this offseason and Budda Baker turns 30 in January, so adding Downs -- who has deep range and the strength to play in the box -- would make sense. He's commonly compared to the Ravens' Kyle Hamilton, but Downs is more physical as a hybrid safety.

No. 19 - Carnell Tate, Pittsburgh Steelers​

The Steelers could flip a coin to decide whether to draft a quarterback or wide receiver, as both are of equal need. Quarterback would be the ideal pick, but the Steelers wouldn't be in range for a starting-caliber prospect here and would likely add a veteran in free agency if Aaron Rodgers retires or doesn't return. That leaves wide receiver, a position the Steelers have historically drafted very well. Trading for DK Metcalf gave Pittsburgh a true WR1, but the team now needs a WR2. At 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Tate has the vertical ability to win over the top and make plays on 50-50 passes. More importantly, he has succeeded in the No. 2 role next to superstar sophomore Jeremiah Smith. Tate has seven touchdowns on 39 receptions this season.

No. 23 - Kayden McDonald, San Francisco 49ers​

The 49ers invested four picks in the 2025 draft along the defensive line, adding Mykel Williams (edge), Robert Beal Jr. (edge), Alfred Collins (DT) and CJ West (DT). But the 49ers are last in the NFL with 12 sacks, so more help is needed, especially at defensive tackle. McDonald, who lines up at nose tackle for the Buckeyes, has been an elite run defender as a first-year starter but also adds pass-rush ability, with three sacks and five pressures this season. At 6-foot-3 and 326 pounds, the junior has also added 44 tackles through 10 games, an unreal number for a nose tackle.

For those asking, “Where’s Sonny Styles?” I’m right there with you. Miller has three linebackers in his first round: Arvell Reese, Georgia’s CJ Allen (No. 31, Los Angeles Rams), and Texas’ Anthony Hill Jr. (No. 32, Denver Broncos).

While Allen and Hill are excellent players, it’s hard to believe either will go before Styles. He has the athleticism, intelligence, and production — 57 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and zero missed tackles in 10 games — that NFL personnel are likely to rave about during the pre-draft process.

2025 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Skull Session: Ohio State’s Seniors Have Unfinished Business, Four Buckeyes Appear in Matt Miller’s Latest Mock Draft and Bo Jackson is One of College Football’s Top Freshmen

Ohio State's seniors have unfinished business, four Buckeyes appear in Matt Miller's latest mock draft and Bo Jackson is one of college football's top freshmen.
www.elevenwarriors.com www.elevenwarriors.com

Last year’s Ohio State team was motivated. This year’s Ohio State team is exactly the same. The Buckeyes are, as Ryan Day called them on Wednesday, business-like, locked in and focused.

“Every year is different. It’s a different group of guys, but I think the mindset of this team is that they’re business-like, they’re locked in, they’re focused right now on what they want to get done, and that’s the most important thing. We know we want to be playing our best football down the stretch, and that’s it.

“And I think these guys embrace it, man. They want to bring it every day. We’re chasing history here at Ohio State, and they know that. That was the vision early on in the season, and then the challenge is to focus every week on being your best and being the hardest-playing team in the country and getting our job done.

“Different group, different dynamic, different coaching staff, different chemistry — just everything about it is different. That’s what I said to the guys the other day. We’re writing a different story right now, and we’re in control of that. That’s what’s great about being at Ohio State, you’re in control of what’s going on, and that’s it. That’s what we’re going to focus on, what we can control. And the rest of it is just noise, and we have to stay focused this time of the season.”

Excuse me, I have to find a brick wall.

Smith on his commitment to Ohio State​

LJ Smith spoke with Rivals about why he chose the Buckeyes.

“I chose Ohio State because it feels like home and it’s a place where I can get better and succeed.”

What led to his trust in the coaching staff?

“I love the coaching staff. They really believe in me. They’re really great guys and that’s what really makes me trust them a lot. And the track record of players they have coached makes me look at where they could help me succeed my goals.”

In his own words, what type of player is Ohio State getting in LJ Smith?

“I would say I can shoot the ball really well and can create for myself and my teammates.”

He has a message for Buckeyes fans.

“To the fans, I hope y’all ready. Big things coming soon.”

Ohio State keeps its recruiting momentum rolling with the addition of LJ Smith. Earlier this week, the Buckeyes landed their highest-rated signee in nearly 15 years with five-star SF Anthony Thompson.

Per 11W: Smith's tape is ridiculous, filled with ankle-breaking crossovers and logo 3-pointers both off the catch and off the dribble. It's an especially important land for Diebler after Marcus Johnson's late decommitment left the Buckeyes without a guard in their 2026 recruiting class on early signing day.

2026 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

Looks like USC is throwing a bag swing at KDW. They can sell a easier path to early playing time too. I guess if there's one position it doesn't hurt to get poached on its WR but still stinks.

I'm sure they are and you get concerned any time that happens, especially with the home team throwing the bag. I'm not so sure USC is really the fast lane to playing time for KDW over us. Yeah we've recruited week but he'll walk in the door with some mix of top WRs going pro and the inevitable transfer(s) for those players that can read between the lines at the end of spring ball. At worst he probably sees the field with only 1 year of Smith left (or none), same goes for Innis, and who knows on Tate. Then you have potential transfers or guys that a player like KDW should compete with or pass on the depth chart. Staying home could win the day, but I don't see competing for PT in his first year or two being an issue.
