2027 OH OL Kellen Wymer is a Buckeye!!!

If he's dunking at 6'5", then either the hoop has been lowered, or he's a heckuva athlete. Was 6'5", and only 190 lbs in HS, and still could only occasionally stuff the ball. Am guessing the hoop is still 10', and the athletes of today are bigger, better, faster, and have more hops. Glad to see the human race is getting better.

These 2 are both 6'5. It looks like you didn't have the hops and athleticism, lol. No shade, I'm 5'10 and could only dream of just stuffing the ball :lol:

And he's 6'2 Lincoln Kienholz getting up

LB Darron Lee (yikes)

Ex-NFL linebacker Darron Lee indicted on murder charge

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee has been indicted on a murder charge in the death of his partner.

A grand jury in Hamilton County returned an indictment Tuesday. Prosecutors dismissed a tampering with evidence charge to focus solely on the more serious allegation, Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp said.

The state is pursuing a first-degree murder conviction, which carries a life sentence. The decision on whether to pursue the death penalty against Lee will be made in the coming weeks, Wamp said.

Lee is accused of killing Gabriella Perpetuo, 29, in February. A medical examiner listed Perpetuo's cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries, and the autopsy report listed 12 different injuries, including multiple hematomas, bone fractures and stab wounds.

At the time of Lee's arrest, he was on probation in Franklin County, Ohio, and Alachua County, Florida, after he was charged in three separate alleged assaults involving another man, Lee's mother and the mother of his child, court records showed.

Prosecutors accused Lee of asking ChatGPT how to get medical help without calling the police. He asked the artificial intelligence assistant whether a fall could cause bruising to two eyes and "two stabby looking wounds," according to evidence presented in court.

Lee remains in the Hamilton County Jail without bond.

2027 CA DL Kasi Currie (Texas Verbal)

For some reason, didn't view it that way, but am slowly coming into agreement. The pundits can predict, and will also do so, but NIL can change the course of a recruitment. While recruits will say the correct things, underneath it all, hard negotiations take place. And what seems like a great offer, may turn into a 'floor' of negotiations as time progresses.

Game Thread tOSU at USC, Sat. Oct. 31st, TBA

Was a guest of pastor in the 2008 game. Watched everyone flow right, with the FB the lone person going left. QB stopped and flung the ball down the left side line, which was empty except for said USC FB. Easy touchdown. Stood up and yelled "That's cheating!" and everyone laughed at me. Also Terrell Pryor's coming out party. Wished he had played earlier, and longer. The ONLY bright light that day. PS, cost me $60 bucks to park.

2026 Spring Practices, Spring Game, and other Tidbits

I love watching these two, Tony and Tom, and enjoying their bid heads, broad smiles, and brotherly chemistry.
I agree. Totally my favs on the beat. Especially since recruiting is less of an emphasis these days. I still think Birm is the best in the biz on the recruiting front, but for pure Buckeye entertainment value? Tom and Tony all day long.
