'25 KY C Malachi Moreno (Kentucky Verbal)

Don't know whether it's youthful exuberance, or dumb waste of time. Do like that Diebs was swinging for the fences. Unless one crosses a 5*'s palm with a bunch of NIL coin, hard to see them forgoing a UK, Kansas, Duke, NC etc for the likes of Ohio State. Always the chance that a couple of these VHT kids decide to go to a place, and take that program to the moon. At least it's good practice for Diebs to prepare for the Ohio kids that are coming up. Go Bucks!

P Drue Chrisman (All-B1G)

Cam Newton wants to hire former Ohio State punter for interesting role​

USATSI_15313479-2.jpg


Former Ohio State punter Drue Chrisman has always been an outstanding storyteller. From his days of bottle-flipping with the Buckeyes to his quest to be an NFL punter, Chrisman has always drawn fans closer in unique ways.

Recently, Chrisman documented his tryout with the Washington Commanders which unfortunately didn’t end with a spot on the team. Much to the chagrin of the Commanders, Chrisman posted his journey to social media where the Commanders asked him to take the short documentary down. To this date, the video is still on Chrisman’s X (formerly Twitter) account.

Former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton caught wind of Chrisman’s talents. After checking out the documentary for himself, he gave a shout-out to the former Buckeye and invited him to come work for him at his production company Iconic Saga saying “You don’t need to punt anymore.”

2025 OH WR Preston Bowman (Kentucky Signee)

Per Matt Parker, Phillip Bell is likely to pick Ohio State this week

Jerome Myles and Preston Bowman are the two options Hartline is considering for the fifth WR spot in this class.

Sounds like the final number will be five WRs.
If Bell does pick the good guys (fingers crossed), I could see the staff continuing to recruit Bowman until we get a better sense of where we're at with Myles...after watching film on Myles, I'm absolutely buying the hype there. Would also love to see Bowman in this class though.

2025 AL OT Micah DeBose (Alabama Signee)

Can certainly see why TSC is working this guy. Refer to the Dan Jenkins book, where the QB says, "WRs keep my name in the headlines. The OL keeps my name out of the obituaries". Believe that we all support that. Having said that, I am of the opinion that this season the OL will be substantially better, and meet expectations (which are always unreasonably high at tOSU). tOSU is set to lose four (?) OL to the draft or exhaustion of eligibility. The kids coming up seem to be solid players, but won't know if they're exceptional, until they show out on the field (or not). tOSU would certainly be a place for DeBose to grow and shine, whether he's blocking for Sayin, TSC, or ? Anyone remember who Pace leap-frogged to start, back in the day? Go Bucks!

Week 0 Games Discussion

Well Week 0 got off to a fantastic start, the F$U GT game was really fun to watch from start to finish. Plus I hate F$U, so it is awesome to see them go down in a game they were heavily favored in and in dramatic fashion. I had a fantasy draft after that game where we BBQ and drink like the world is ending, so I didn't really catch most of the other games.

On to Week 1 after my hangover from the draft goes away. Looking forward to Minnesota vs UNC on Thursday night. Then Saturday we have quite a few good ones (obviously excited for our game). UGA vs Clemson should be very entertaining (wish it wasn't a 10am MT game but whatever). PSU vs West Virginia could be a good one. Miami vs Florida. ND vs A&M. Then USC vs LSU on Sunday. Damn good slate for the first week.
Too much of a good thing.

Little League World Series

Lake Mary walks off Chinese Taipei to win Florida's first-ever Little League World Series championship

Florida teams were previously 0-8 in Little League World Series title games all-time​

Lake-Mary-LLWS-.jpg


The boys from Lake Mary, Florida walked it off against Chinese Taipei in extra innings to win the Little League World Series, 2-1, in thrilling fashion on Sunday night.

A Florida team was 0-8 in LLWS title games all-time, but Lake Mary had been fighting tooth and nail throughout this series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, facing four elimination games just to reach the final against the squad from Taoyuan, Taiwan – a squad that didn't lose any of the five games they've played since hitting the States.

After Lathan Norton finished his 3.2 innings with a scare, as Taoyuan's Hu Yen-Chun flew out to the warning track in the top of the eighth inning, he went to second base to begin the bottom of the eighth in a 1-1 game.

The last hitter in Lake Mary's lineup, Hunter Alexander, came up in a clear bunt scenario, where he was only thinking about moving Norton over to third base.

But Taoyuan, perhaps the team with the best fundamentals in the tournament, didn't have someone covering first base when Alexander laid down his bunt to the right side.

The ball was thrown away, and Lake Mary celebrated immediately as Norton came around third base for the winning run.

2027 MS RB Mikel Stephen (Verbal Offer)

Mikel Stephen lands an offer from the Buckeyes​

Myles wasn’t the only prospect that landed an offer from Ohio State on Thursday. OSU running backs coach Carlos Locklyn offered 2027 Mississippi running back Mikel Stephen, giving the talented tailback just his fourth Division I offer.

Other schools that have offered Stephen include Georgia, Florida State and Georgia State. Stephen worked out with Locklyn in June at an Ohio State recruiting camp and impressed him in individual drills and one-on-one competition. About a month later, Locklyn decided to pull the trigger and offer the 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect.

Stephen is the sixth running back OSU has offered in the 2027 class.
