Don't know what our chances are here, but never count MG out of any race for a DB he wants. I've been impressed with him as a recruiter so far.

Same, he's pulled some guys I didn't think OSU had a chance with

so my son talked to the JV coach about getting more playing time, he was told to be patient (at the time we had 8 games left in the season - we have 5 now) - next game, one AB as a DH, no time in the field. So he came home and asked if he could start being a smartass, like agree with everything the coach says with fake enthusiasm - I was all on board because fuck this coach. so he had a practice and said something like "coach watch, its all in the hips" then hits four barrels, coach says "where has this been all year" - my son replies with "its been here all year, you just dont see it"

next game (Tuesday) he plays the whole game, goes 3/4 with 2 doubles, 3 steals (4th was a deep flyball that was caught) - coach tells him after the game "i knew you were due" - my son says yup coach, due to get time. Turns out this coach has an ego so big, he doesn't seem realize the boys are being smartasses to him he thinks they are all agreeing and believing him . Game tonight, so we'll see how much he plays, he might be on the good side now.

as for transferring schools, that wont be happening, baseball is a filler sport for him as much as he loves the game. Our school has the best alumni association in the area, they give away a TON of scholarships, he knows that and wont miss out on that. My daughter graduated from the same school a few years ago and got over 10k in scholarships, so he's not leaving that on the table.

LJ stuntin with those shades, he's looking good for his age. Say that only because I buy in that he can still be around through these kids' careers. If we can pull this over off, it would be quite the west coast heist. But hey, we did it with Whylder last cycle, why not do it again?

How this guy has grown since he first hit campus and that rough interview. Props to him.

My main meal of the day is usually around 9am and consists of mostly fatty beef. I don't get hungry for the rest of the day.

"We're sad today because the State of Indiana has now allowed high school athletes to receive NIL. This gives Curt Cignetti the same advantage that Ohio State has in recruiting."

I don't understand why - I suppose some players transitioning from high school to college would like to stay closer to home, and "home" is more likely to be in Indiana if they could get paid in Indiana. But what is the number of in-state players Ohio State has? I suppose I could look that up. But, say you're a high school player looking at multiple offers for college. Do you give Indiana any edge, based on whether their high school players can get NIL money?
I can see how this keeps in-state high school players from moving across state lines to get paid, depending on circumstances. but are 4- and 5-star players more likely to go to Indiana or Ohio State, or avoid going to Penn State, based on this?

Agreed. I have never seen a video like that. All those calls and moves and they almost run out of time to submit the pick but still get it in. Good stuff!

Reminiscent of the movie Draft Day. Crazy how accurate it is watching a clip like this from the Cowboys, seeing elite teams fighting over your talent.

Speaks volumes for Downs and Ohio State as a program. They even mentioned how there’s not a whole lot of blue-chip defensive players because they all went top 15.

Beat the Royals. Hedges stole third base (fortunately the Royals were out of challenges because he looked out to me). Put that dude in center field;-)

Also, the Guardians lead the Majors with the most 8th inning runs and they also managed to win the game on a challenge.

NCAA warming up another "we have to think of the kids here" sham "punishment"

They don't have to. They won't.
"We've already hammered them. That's done. Let's consider punishing New Mexico State - I hear that one of their coaches texted a guy in M*ch*gan who considered going to UM."

I see all these headlines that I'm not going to click that say he whined about ND and Ohio State.....but all the comments just show the ND whine. What's his gripe with us now?

Cincy boy done good

We wish him well in all his future endeavors.

Nice list. I know what the poster here is asking for, I'm not going to respond only because the only two teams on the list that were the best in CFB in those years were 1969 and 1998. How the Buckeyes put together the teams that they did in 1969, 1970, 1973, 1974, and 1975 and came away with Zero National Championships is simply mind boggling. In a really bad way that still tastes bitter to this day. And anyone here that wants to actually recognize the 1970 team as a National Champion as awarded by The National Football Foundation should go happily polish up their Participation Trophies they "won" in Pee-Wee football.
