He is playing at Allen, TX high school this season. Possibly the largest high school in the state.

Glenn was raised in New Concord though.

Was at the Spielman Center today with my 25 yr old daughter. Right off the bat, will say, despite the primary care doc's original concerns, they are now 99% sure NOT-cancer. Biopsy to confirm is already scheduled.

It was an anxiety-making day, especially for my daughter, but I just wanted to say what a great place the Center is and how much I appreciate Chris's part in making it happen. It was comfortable and quiet and everyone was very helpful and friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of Buckeye touches - not overdone, but you know you're at OSU.

They put her at ease, which was a small but important miracle. What a wonderful place to have in Central Ohio.

I like this. He seemed out of place on the Bucks. Some guys are just made for their home team so to speak.

LeBron shouldn't have ever left Cleveland, his legacy would have been legendary.

Better Know a Buckeye: Anthony Rogers’ Do-It-All Playmaking Ability As a Hybrid Running Back Makes Him A Unique Weapon for Ohio State’s Offense​

Immediate Impact​

While Ohio State's running backs might lack experience, with West Virginia transfer CJ Donaldson being the lone one with any major playing time at the college level, the room makes up for it with talent and depth. James Peoples and Donaldson seem to lead the way for Ohio State’s one-two punch at the position this year, while Jackson, Sam Williams-Dixon and West are also candidates for playing time behind them.

With that, Rogers' ability to be a playmaker wherever he is lined up on the field is what differentiates him from the rest of Locklyn's room.

"We felt like, based on what we saw him do this year, he was lined up as a receiver a lot. He was a returner," Day said. "So he kind of gives us a little bit of that hybrid where he can line up a receiver, he can come into the backfield, he can return kicks. Haven't had a ton of those guys. Xavier Johnson was probably the guy who was probably the best comp that way. ... So guys who can do multiple job descriptions, I think their value is going to continue to increase, and I think Turbo is one of those guys.”

While it might be tough for Rogers to see significant snaps at running back in his first season in Columbus, his ability to be a game-changing returner paired with his versatility to play both running back and wide receiver increases the likelihood that Day and Brian Hartline will find a way to get him on the field, even if it is only on special teams early on.

Long-Term Impact​

With Donaldson entering his final year of eligibility, Rogers will have a chance to push for real snaps at running back in 2026. Even if Peoples and Jackson are the one-two punch a season from now, Rogers' skill set will give Ohio State incentive to find a role for him with his ability to line up in multiple spots and create mismatches.

Whether it be in the backfield, in the slot or as a returner, expect Rogers to carve out a role by his second year as a Buckeye and become an impact player in Ohio State’s offense by his third year in Columbus.

Just a side note here. Getting traded is far better than being released. New spot, new chance to meld with the players there, and mayhaps fill a hole that was there. One of the greatest to ever don the scarlet and gray, Jim Jackson played for more than several teams before he hung up his sneaks. Guess he was labeled a journeyman, not a star. EJ can achieve the same status here, and hopefully find a way to contribute to the Bulls.

He has been playing in the NBA summer league for the Nuggets. Most recently got ejected on a rare (for summer league) Flagrant 2 foul - hope that doesn't shelve his potential NBA career.

for the next 20-22 years

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.

Yeah, see in a prior post that he's 6 foot even. Then after he committed to Texas, he's now listed as 6'1". Guess committing to the 'Horns made him 'bigger in Texas' than was previously.

Kid is 17. Theoretically he could still be growing especially in the year+ since the post that listed him as 6 foot even.

Auburn star Tahaad Pettiford arrested on DUI charge​

Auburn star Tahaad Pettiford, an SEC Player of the Year contender in 2025-26, was arrested early Saturday morning on a DUI charge in Lee County, Alabama, according to jail logs.

Pettiford was released midday, a source told ESPN, and is no longer listed as an inmate on the jail's log.

"We are aware of the situation, and we will handle it internally with Tahaad and his family," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said in a statement to ESPN on Saturday. "We take these matters seriously and will learn and grow from it moving forward."

The 19-year-old's arrest on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol comes just weeks after he withdrew from the NBA draft. Pettiford, who averaged 11.6 PPG in his freshman season for an Auburn team that secured the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and reached the Final Four, is the cornerstone of Auburn's next chapter after the departure of star Johni Broome.

Following his withdrawal from the draft, Pettiford said he returned to Auburn in part to prove that he can compete at the next level.

"I was happy to go through the process, getting feedback from NBA teams," Pettiford told ESPN then. "Going back to Auburn is a better situation for me. I see myself being a higher pick next year. It wasn't 100% this year, so I didn't want to take that chance."

Although he didn't receive the same buzz as some of the top freshmen in the country during the 2024-25 season, Pettiford was widely viewed as one of the best young players in the country.

I can see his Twitter page. I won’t share it. It’s clear this kid isn’t really getting offers.
