Ohio State basketball team has a new opponent in CBS Sports Classic​

The Ohio State basketball team will face a new opponent in a key non-conference clash that they have every year.

The Ohio State basketball program has been taking part in one of the best in-season matchups for over a decade. The CBS Sports Classic started back in 2014, and the Buckeyes have played in that event every year. It's a tournament that showcases four of the best programs in the country.

From the start, the Classic involved the Ohio State Buckeyes, UCLA, Kentucky, and North Carolina. Then, UCLA joined the Big Ten, making the potential rotation with the Buckeyes and the Bruins a conference matchup. That's something that they wanted to avoid.

Now, the CBS Sports Classic will no longer feature the Bruins. Surprisingly, they have left instead of Ohio State. There is now a Big 12 team included in the CBS Sports Classic, as Kansas will now join the rotation. That means every P4 conference is represented now.

The Ohio State basketball team will face Kansas in CBS Sports Classic​

The Jayhawks will take on the Buckeyes in next year's version of the CBS Sports Classic. Ohio State will then take on Kentucky in 2027 and UCLA in 2028. Kansas will face the Buckeyes again in 2029. Next year's version of the Classic will take place in Madison Square Garden in New York.

Always kinda wonder how coaches utilize the 'dropping' of player rankings to motivate said players? Is it a singling out, position room generalization, or a take aside type of thing? And conversely, using a player upgrade 4* => 5*, to push/maintain the player's enthusiasm toward hard work. Certainly the coaches use comparisons "you have the same qualities as Caleb, so use them" type of pitch. The above post put these questions in my wandering mind on this Wednesday morning. Methinks that is why/how these coaches are paid seven figures to ply their trades....and yeah, I get that every kid is different, some require praise, some require kicking in the butt, etc.

Ohio State has been recruiting Whitley for some time now and officially offered him in June. He will likely schedule official visits with all five of his finalists but until then, no school will likely separate itself from the pack. If there is a favorite, home-state school LSU may be have a slight edge, but it is minimal at most.

My great-grandson had student tickets.

If we all put our money together, we can put a Buckeye Planet patch on a preferred walk this season. Lol

Xichigan played a D that I am not familiar with. Thorton was guarded by a Xichigan blanket. It worked. And Xichigan could throw what, 3 7 footers at the basket? Don't care how tall you are, block those suckers out, and force them to go 'over the top' for a rebound (and back them up while they're in the air). Put back stuffs were pretty common, while tOSU guys stood around wondering why their 'man' was scoring. Our second tall guy is a very blunt instrument. Someone above called it correctly. Many tOSU players were passing up open shots, instead passing the ball to our scorers, who were guarded closer then have seen before. And yeah, one doesn't become "Ohio Player of Year" with rebounds, but by scoring, and Cupps and White got their awards by putting the ball in the hole....OK, write it off and move on....

Hey, maybe we can double up on the NIL front, by getting Diebs to kick in for a dual scholarship for the basketbucks? He's got a #4 written all over him. (might help his agility around the line as well).

What a career ride

Former Ohio State Wide Receivers Coach Brian Hartline Hires Former Buckeye Wide Receiver K.J. Hill, Offensive Lineman Toby Wilson at South Florida​

Brian Hartline is infusing some more Buckeye flavor to his first coaching staff at South Florida.

The former Ohio State wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator, now head coach of the Bulls, has hired former Buckeye wide receiver K.J. Hill as an offensive analyst and offensive lineman Toby Wilson as an assistant offensive line coach.

Wilson is the son of former Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and played for the Buckeyes for four seasons after walking on to the team in 2021. He served a depth role during his entire career, playing 12 snaps as a senior in 2024. He'll work as an offensive line assistant under USF offensive line coach Mike Sollenne, who worked as an assistant offensive line coach at OSU from 2022 through 2024.

Young, a native of Perrysburg, Ohio, began his career at Cincinnati after graduating high school in 2021. He redshirted that year and spent four total seasons with the Bearcats, but never appeared in a game. He transferred to Houston Christian ahead of his fifth season, seeking an opportunity to start at the FCS level.

In his first year as a starter with the Huskies in 2025, Young averaged 41.8 yards per punt across 69 boots, with 17 punts downed inside the opposing 20-yard line and 12 that traveled 50 yards or more. He had one punt clear 60 yards, a career-long 66-yard boot against Northern Colorado on Sept. 20.

Just sayin':
1. Anybody know how he qualifies for a 6th year? Doesn't the year at Houston Christian count?
2. Yeah, he'll get to compete for P1; however, I'll say the coaches just picked him up expecting him to be the back up punter.

Competition is really important here; this at least forces McGuire to work harder and hopefully improve some.
