RECRUITING FORUM RULES - ***EVERYONE READ BEFORE POSTING***

Since this post, I have seen drastic improvement on every front in the recruiting thread. Thank you all BP posters for making that happen. With a new Natty in the trophy case at the WHAC, lets make the recruiting forum a place to put "National Champion" next to commitments names at some point.

We have a lot to be excited about in the future with recruiting. We have some very nice families and recruits that visit this site. Continue to show why Ohio State is so special, because it is. Lets do just that and this forum will be back to its glory moving forward.

Dick Vitale (official thread)

ESPN's Dick Vitale to call 1st game after beating cancer 4th time​

Dick Vitale, the legendary voice of college basketball, is returning to the air for the first time since 2023.

The Hall of Fame broadcaster will call the Duke-Wake Forest men's college basketball game on Saturday, Jan. 25 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Vitale, 85, has battled four different types of cancer in the past three and a half years. Most recently, he underwent surgery in the summer of 2024 after a biopsy of a lymph node in his neck showed cancer. Vitale announced on Jan. 8 that he was cancer-free.

"I am absolutely ecstatic and I can't believe this is happening after going through five major vocal cord surgeries, 65 radiation treatments and chemotherapy for six months," Vitale said. "It's been a very tough journey, but all of the prayers and messages from the beautiful fans have inspired me."

"I just hope that I can offer the people some basketball insights that can bring even more excitement to the game."

Former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio to coach team in Paris​

Former Jacksonville Jaguars and Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has been named the head coach of the Paris Musketeers of the European League of Football.

Del Rio, 61, went 93-94 in 12 seasons as an NFL head coach and made two postseason appearances with the Jags and one with the Raiders.

His last NFL job was as defensive coordinator of the Washington Commanders from 2020 to '23. He previously held coordinator roles with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.

Del Rio's move to Paris comes after a brief tenure as a senior assistant for the Wisconsin Badgers. Hired in August 2024, he resigned from the position in November after he was arrested following a car crash in Madison, Wisconsin, and cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

The Paris Musketeers are part of the 17-team European League of Football, which played its inaugural season in 2021. The league runs from May until September and features teams from Austria, Czechia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and Switzerland.
