ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

Still think they mailed it and hired Diebler because of the athletic director transition that was going on at the time, they knew they could skate on the success of the football program and not have to make things more difficult than they had to be.
I don't think the transition was really the reason. I think was more a sign that OSU doesn't take hoops as enough of a priority to invest blue-blood type resources. They've got to focus on football and allocate every resource they can to that or else they lose the spot on top. In a world with limited funds, you've got to look out for the cash cow.

WR Phillip Bell III (Official Thread)

I think he's in the right program to help him work through it and keep himself right. He's got to be one helluva a strong kid, but will need the program. I'll definitely be pulling for him.
Day's emphasis on mental health couldn't be better for the kid whatever he turns out to be

Paraguay, Australia, and now the winner of the playoff series between Turkey, Romania, Slovakia, and Kosovo.
It's a decent group for the Americans that should expect to move on to the next round. Paraguay and Australia could give them problems, but with a home-field advantage, the U.S. are the (slight) favorites here.

ON3 on Khary Wilder:

just wanted to pop in and drop some quick thoughts on Khary Wilder because he is absolutely dominating this season. His movement skills are so freaky for the position. I am extremely curious what Ohio State will do with him since his body type and skillset is so versatile, but watching him play is such a treat. He has serious twitch, hand usage and bend for such a rare body type.


Wilder, an imposing defensive tackle prospect with some positional versatility has been one of the most productive defensive players in the country. At 6-foot-4, 260-plus pounds, Wilder has totaled over 80 tackles, 20 tackles-for-loss, 10 sacks and 25 hurries for Juniperro Serra (Calif.) high school so far this season. His movement skills for his size are special. He has the ability to knife between blockers from the interior and the bend to win the corner off the edge.

2026 IN WR Jerquaden Guilford has signed!!!

24/7 Scouting report:
Well-rounded outside receiver who can create separation at all three levels of the defense and stretch the field vertically. Verified around 6-foot-2.5, 190 pounds ahead of his senior season with a broad frame and a fantastic combine testing profile. Earned top performer honors after a stellar showing at the 2025 Under Armour Ohio regional camp and has been a consistent playmaker on the club 7-on-7 scene. Meager production as a sophomore and junior compared to some of the top wide receivers in the 2026 cycle, underlined by an 11.4% catch-to-touchdown conversion rate. As a junior had to put on the cape quite often for a Northrop squad that finished 1-9 on the season. Possesses the physical tools and position-specific skill to potentially see a massive leap in production as a senior. Should be viewed as a traits-heavy outside receiver with the ability to contort his body and make acrobatic snags at the catch point. Has multi-year Power Four starter upside and the physical clay to one day merit NFL Draft consideration.

Just sayin': I have no idea what the competition was like in his Senior highlights; however, it does appear that he has a pretty high "WR ceiling" in college. Nice ability on acrobatic catches and breaking/avoiding tackles; in addition, he appears to have a quick burst of speed after the catch.
Its similar to what Mylan Graham(who he trains with) faced, so I don't think its the best. He'll need a year or 2 to get up to speed. But has a great foundation to work from. And I believe he works out with the trainer who trained Austin Mack, so he knows what to expect from OSU

Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

Six close pays?! They had at least six in the last two minutes against Cincinnati. That team lived with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. You gotta have heart must have been their theme song. Like this year, the defense was the strength of the team, Wilhelm, Smith, Doss, took turns playing Superman.
I think it was Lose Yourself, at least in the locker room before the Championship game.

DE Kenyatta Jackson (All B1G, National Champion)

This is where NIL becomes huge.

He can make more at OSU next year with guaranteed $$$ versus being a Day 2 or 3 pick, making $300k - $400k and competing for a roster spot.

Coming back for guaranteed cash and an opportunity to improve his draft position will look like a nice opportunity.

I found the (dis)Honorable Gentleman from Washington saying congress would "fix" college sports to be the most galling/alarming/darkly comedic part of the article.

Sweet Woody in heaven do I hate politicians.
