All the "misses" and we still have a top 5 class in 26 when it comes to player average. Only Bama LSU and Oregon are higher.

To be fair, the 22 class was top 5 as well.

You just never know.

Nope. Dead to me. Violence against women and/ or children is not redeemable

Former Wright State power forward Brandon Noel and Santa Clara center Christoph Tilly will start in the frontcourt, while Gabe Cupps arrives to be a team leader off the bench in the backcourt.

Each man met with Ohio State's media for the first time on Tuesday, all speaking for around eight minutes on what went into their decisions and what they'll bring to the Buckeyes on the court. Noel and Tilly are confident their games can translate to the Big Ten after playing weaker competition the past few seasons, while Cupps is eager to tap into his potential after losing most of his 2024-25 campaign to injury.

It's actullay much different than the NFL. There are no binding contracts and you can transfer to any team you want to transfer to. It's the wild, wild, west still.

I think the only thing that could be binding going forward is having to pay back some of your NIL when you transfer

Five-star 2027 wide receiver Kesean Bowman heard of Brian Hartline’s reputation as a recruiter and developer long before he camped with Ohio State on June 17.
The Tennessee standout got to see his coaching firsthand in Columbus last month, and walked away with an offer from the Buckeyes.
“It was amazing. It was great being coached by coach Hartline,” Bowman told Eleven Warriors after the camp. “He was coaching me hard and I enjoy learning from the best. I learned how to get in and out of my breaks, and the steps you need to take to get in and out of your breaks the best you can.”
Bowman was grateful for the offer and has admired OSU from afar for a long time.
“There’s a lot of tradition here and it’s a winning program,” Bowman said of Ohio State. “They put people in the NFL and that’s where I want to end up. Hopefully I can make that happen.”
Although Bowman had long heard about Hartline’s reputation, the camp was the first time the pair connected with each other. Bowman says he looks forward to growing that relationship in the future.
“He’s a dog, just brings a lot of energy,” Bowman said. “He wants to win and he wants to win every rep. He wants to do everything to perfect it. He’s just a dog.”

I get nervous every time this guy's thread pops up, seems like a perfect candidate for huge fiscal offers now that his stock is peaking. Not sure if OSU would be willing to match.

You go Buckeye

Keep an eye on the timing chain sensor and vtc actuator once it hits 100k. Those K series motors go forever, but the hondas have some known issues like that.

Once you hear a small rattle on cold start up, get it handled ASAP.

Rattle at startup still makes my eye twitch after owning a 4.2 NA Audi S4. Timing chain was on the firewall and it requires pulling the engine for that service. Thankfully I enjoyed my car for nearly 15 years before sending off to the next person to have sleepless nights. That car was bullet proof with that one exception.

Ohio State basketball verbal Marcus Johnson finishing travel strong, mulling transfer​

As a junior, Johnson averaged 29.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game with 4.7 assists and 2.2 steals. Garfield Heights (24-3) broke through to the Division III state semifinals.

Johnson has carried over his hot play with the Indy Heat team on the Nike EYBL 17-U circuit. Through four weekends (15 games), Johnson is averaging 19.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals. He is hitting 33 percent of his three-point shots (24 of 72).

This past week in four games, Johnson averaged 17.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.5 steals. He was 32 percent on three-point tries (6 of 19).

Johnson did not play with Garfield Heights at the Midwest Live team recruiting event in late June, giving rise to speculation he could transfer to a national prep school for his senior year. He has not announced such a move yet, however.

The Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award was established by the conference's Faculty Representatives in 2008 as an addition to the Academic All-Big Ten program. To be named a Distinguished Scholar, a student-athlete must have earned Academic All-Big Ten honors during the previous academic year, have been enrolled full-time at the school for the entire prior academic year (two semesters or three quarters), and have achieved a minimum grade point average of 3.70 or higher in that academic year (excluding any summer grades). Academic All-Big Ten requires a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher throughout the student-athlete's academic career.

Among the 125 football players in the conference, the Buckeyes had two players recognized as Big Ten Distinguished Scholars: wide receiver Carnell Tate and defensive back Lorenzo Styles Jr.

After transferring from Notre Dame in 2023, Styles graduated from Ohio State in May with a degree in consumer and family financial services. He did so alongside his father, Lorenzo Styles Sr., through the department's degree completion program. Styles has twice been an Academic All-Big Ten honoree and is a two-time OSU Scholar-Athlete.
