Skull Session: Ohio State’s Sports Honor and Thank Gene Smith, Aaron Bradshaw is a Potential First-Round Pick in 2025 and Jamari Wheeler Wins a Title in Mexico
Ohio State's sports honor and thank Gene Smith, Aaron Bradshaw is a potential first-round pick in 2025 and Jamari Wheeler wins a championship in Mexico.
TITLE TIME. Jamari Wheeler is a champion — or, to be more accurate, a campeon. Last week, the former Ohio State point guard helped Rayos de Hermosillo secure a Mexico CIBACOPA title over the Astros de Jalisco.

Wheeler, who played three years at Penn State and one year at Ohio State before becoming a professional, spent last season with BC Prievidza in Slovakia. Following a couple of workouts for NBA G-League teams, Wheeler ended up in Hermosillo, where he appeared in 47 games and averaged 8.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for Rayos.
In his team's four-game sweep of Jalisco, Wheeler averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.3 steals per contest. His best performance came in Hermosillo's Game 3 win as the 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard scored 17 points and added six boards, seven helpers and three forced turnovers.

Why the defensive tackles are the key to the Ohio State football team's defense
The Ohio State football team is going to have one of the best defenses in the country this season. The defensive tackles are the key to it.
The Ohio State football team is supposed to have one of the best defenses in the country this season. Last year, they were elite as well. Not only did they have the second-best scoring defense in the country, but they also had the best pass defense in the country.
The only part of the defense that wasn't as good was the run defense. They allowed 112.5 yards per game on the ground, which was the 23rd-best mark in the country. That's not bad, but it's not elite like the other numbers they put up. They also allowed the third-fewest total yards.
That's why the defensive tackles are going to be the key to the defense this season. Tyleik Williams and Ty Hamilton are back up front. They combined for five sacks last season and Williams in particular showed some burst up the middle on passing downs.
Those two defensive tackles will be tasked with plugging up the middle on run plays. If they can do that better than the Ohio State football team did last year, those rush yards per game totals will go down. Teams are already going to be afraid to throw the ball against them because of how good the secondary is.
Ohio State knows that they will be a defensive team again this season. Defense is how they won most of their games a year ago because the offense didn't have a consistently explosive pass game. They won't again this season, but it will be a little bit better in that regard.
Jim Knowles has transformed this defense into a powerhouse unit. Before he took over, big plays were given up at an alarming clip. That was an issue in his first season as defensive coordinator too. Since then, they've been very good at that. This team's defense is going to be brutally tough to beat.

Phillies turn rare 1-3-5 triple play, MLB's first since 1929
Login to view embedded mediaThe Philadelphia Phillies turned a rare triple play to snuff out a possible Detroit Tigers rally in the third inning Monday night.
Trailing 4-0, the Tigers had a chance to get something going when Zach McKinstry and Carson Kelly hit back-to-back singles, putting runners on the corners.
Matt Vierling hit a broken-bat liner back to Aaron Nola, who tossed to Bryce Harper to double Kelly off first.
Catcher Garrett Stubbs, noticing McKinstry had never stopped running from third, signaled to Harper to throw to third, where Alec Bohm stepped on the bag to finish the triple play.
