WR Noah Brown (Washington Commanders)

calibuck
Am thinking that while he was at tOSU, there were some superior players ahead of him. Now, at the pro level, not so much. A great testimony to Noah, certainly, but also to WRU, where the 5*s are stacked like firewood. But!. they take when they've learned here, and put it to work at other places, notably the pro level. Someone above noted his blocking skills. Well, as commonly known (?), at tOSU, a WR doesn't see the field unless they can demonstrate a downfield blocking ability. Another reason why WRs flock to Ohio State. Hartline's training (based on his real-world experiences). Anyway, don't mean to hijack, but trying to point out why Noah (and others) have continued success in the league.

A fine idea. I swear that after Buster Douglas that Tyson that there was a story about the Mayor of Cincy calling the Mayor of Columbus and telling him that naming the outer belt around Columbus the James Buster Douglas Way was a bad idea… “just look at us, we have Pete Rose way…”.

On choosing Ohio State over Wake Forest​

“If Chris Paul was gonna say at Wake Forest, I probably would have went with Mike to Wake Forest. I would say that. But Chris Paul left for the league. Mike wanted to go there and play with Chris Paul, but Chris Paul leaves. … It wasn’t etched in stone (that I would go where Mike went), but we had a good visit down there at Wake Forest. I’ll put it like that. It was a good time. Nah, I will say this, though. When we went to the Texas-Ohio State football game, just seeing that atmosphere on that visit and seeing what that city was, I think we all kind of were like, ‘Alright, this is it. This is where we want to be at.’ But I think Wake Forest was definitely a very, very close second.”

On Ohio State’s loss to Florida in the national title game​

“Going up against Florida, as you all know, Taurean Green, Corey Brewer, (Lee) Humphrey, Al (Horford), Joakim (Noah), Chris Richard coming off the bench, Marreese Speights a freshman. … They’re arguably one of the best college basketball teams in history. Actually, they have to be top five because there are only three or four of them that actually went back-to-back. If we hit a couple more threes, I would like to say I hope we had a better chance. But f— everybody that does the Gator Chomp. That s— hurts my soul to this day. I’m a grown a— man, but when I see the Gator Chomp, I see a tear. I’m like, ‘You know what? This some bull—.”

On leaving Ohio State for the NBA​

“The week before I went to school, it was nothing. After the championship on Monday, going to class on Wednesday, I couldn’t make it a block without people getting out of their cars, asking for autographs, stopping to take pictures. Literally, I couldn’t make it to class. I went back to my dorm, called Coach (Matta) and I’m like, ‘I literally can’t make it to class. I’m overwhelmed.’ That’s when I knew it was about to happen.
“(But) I wanted to stay. We were that close. You think about all the times (Conley and I) won in high school, in AAU, in eighth grade. You think about our high school years, we barely lost 10 games. We probably lost three in AAU. It’s less than 15 games from sixth grade, seventh grade, up to college. I wanted to win. But I went and talked about that to Coach, and he was like, ‘Ha. Get the f— out of here.’ It was like a soft laugh. ‘He was like, ‘You can’t do that, brother. I can’t do that to your family. I can’t do that to you.’ When you’re put in this position, you have to take advantage of that. I am thankful for the people around me. My life changed after that.”

I expect next season to be worse if anything. People will still make excuses for Diebler though and want to give him a 3rd season. The Athletic Department is gonna be in no hurry to make a move, Diebler is a lame duck but he's cheap and they can just keep proclaiming success because of the football program alone.

Bills sign recently released Steelers defensive tackle after Joey Bosa deal​

The Bills have agreed to a deal with Larry Ogunjobi after signing Joey Bosa on Tuesday.

The Buffalo Bills made a splash signing on Tuesday night when they added star pass rusher Joey Bosa on a one-year, $12.6 million contract. The Bills aren't done adding to their defensive line, though, as they hammered out a deal with recently released Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi on Wednesday morning.

Ogunjobi turned in another solid campaign in 2024, racking up 41 tackles and 1.5 sacks over 15 games for the Steelers. The team opted to move in a different direction once free agency started, though, releasing him on Monday. It didn't take long for him to find a new home, though, as he landed with Buffalo on a one-year, $8.3 million deal.

The Ohio State basketball program had a lot of success during the Thad Matta era. He took the team to a national championship and multiple Final Fours. He had multiple NBA players on his teams. The Buckeyes had some of the best teams in history under Matta.

Back in Matta's era, the Buckeyes had a lot of guys play professionally. Other than the NBA guys that they had, they had plenty of other guys play overseas. Even some guys who you wouldn't think were going to be good enough to play professionally ended up playing for a salary.

One of those players is Amedo Della Valle. He played for the Ohio State Buckeyes for three years before deciding to go back home to Italy to play. He has been playing in Serie A, which is the highest level of basketball in the country. Della Valle has been playing great while over there.

Ex-Ohio State basketball player Amedo Della Valle scores his 4000th point

Della Valle recently scored his 4000th point in Serie A. He continues to play well at a high level. His high level of play is surprising, especially considering the fact that he wasn't even a normal part of the rotation for Ohio State. He has turned himself into quite the player.

Della Valle has had a lot of team success over the years. He has won a EuroCup Challenge and an LBA MVP. He has played on a lot of good teams. Della Valle clearly made the right choice to leave Ohio State early to go play professionally. He has made a lot of money.

Della Valle will keep playing as long as he can. He clearly is still good enough to play some good basketball for a few more years. He might end up being one of Matta's most successful players.

Just sayin': Possibly, however, he'll never be #1;, that distinction goes to Mike Conley, Jr.
