Week 0 Games Discussion

Well Week 0 got off to a fantastic start, the F$U GT game was really fun to watch from start to finish. Plus I hate F$U, so it is awesome to see them go down in a game they were heavily favored in and in dramatic fashion. I had a fantasy draft after that game where we BBQ and drink like the world is ending, so I didn't really catch most of the other games.

On to Week 1 after my hangover from the draft goes away. Looking forward to Minnesota vs UNC on Thursday night. Then Saturday we have quite a few good ones (obviously excited for our game). UGA vs Clemson should be very entertaining (wish it wasn't a 10am MT game but whatever). PSU vs West Virginia could be a good one. Miami vs Florida. ND vs A&M. Then USC vs LSU on Sunday. Damn good slate for the first week.
Too much of a good thing.

Little League World Series

Lake Mary walks off Chinese Taipei to win Florida's first-ever Little League World Series championship

Florida teams were previously 0-8 in Little League World Series title games all-time​

Lake-Mary-LLWS-.jpg


The boys from Lake Mary, Florida walked it off against Chinese Taipei in extra innings to win the Little League World Series, 2-1, in thrilling fashion on Sunday night.

A Florida team was 0-8 in LLWS title games all-time, but Lake Mary had been fighting tooth and nail throughout this series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, facing four elimination games just to reach the final against the squad from Taoyuan, Taiwan – a squad that didn't lose any of the five games they've played since hitting the States.

After Lathan Norton finished his 3.2 innings with a scare, as Taoyuan's Hu Yen-Chun flew out to the warning track in the top of the eighth inning, he went to second base to begin the bottom of the eighth in a 1-1 game.

The last hitter in Lake Mary's lineup, Hunter Alexander, came up in a clear bunt scenario, where he was only thinking about moving Norton over to third base.

But Taoyuan, perhaps the team with the best fundamentals in the tournament, didn't have someone covering first base when Alexander laid down his bunt to the right side.

2027 MS RB Mikel Stephen (Verbal Offer)

Mikel Stephen lands an offer from the Buckeyes​

Myles wasn’t the only prospect that landed an offer from Ohio State on Thursday. OSU running backs coach Carlos Locklyn offered 2027 Mississippi running back Mikel Stephen, giving the talented tailback just his fourth Division I offer.

Other schools that have offered Stephen include Georgia, Florida State and Georgia State. Stephen worked out with Locklyn in June at an Ohio State recruiting camp and impressed him in individual drills and one-on-one competition. About a month later, Locklyn decided to pull the trigger and offer the 5-foot-11, 185-pound prospect.

Stephen is the sixth running back OSU has offered in the 2027 class.

2026 CA RB Deshonne Redeaux (Verbal Offer)

Deshonne Redeaux puts OSU in top 12​

A top-100 running back in the 2026 class is getting closer to making a decision. Four-star 2026 tailback Deshonne Redeaux released a top 12 on Monday consisting of Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Texas A&M, Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC.

Redeaux is considered the No. 73 prospect and No. 7 running back in 2026. He’s had a longstanding relationship with Locklyn, as OSU’s running backs coach offered him while he was coaching at Oregon.

In six games as a sophomore, Redeaux ran for 439 yards on 49 carries with five rushing touchdowns. He added six catches for 40 yards in the passing game and served as the team’s kick returner.

Anthony Jones

Jones, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end who also plays linebacker, trimmed his school list down to nine on Monday, which consisted of Ohio State, Michigan, Arizona State, Cal, Tennessee, Washington, Georgia, UCLA and Penn State.

Jones is considered the No. 242 prospect and the No. 20 edge rusher in the 2026 class. He picked up his offer from the Buckeyes in May.

“Getting an offer from Ohio State was huge for me,” Jones told Eleven Warriors. “It showed me that all my hard work is paying off and the top programs like OSU are taking notice.”

He recorded 46 tackles (37 solo) with eight sacks, five tackles for loss and 20 quarterback hurries during his sophomore season.

Heze Kent

Kent, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound four-star tight end from Georiga, narrowed his recruitment to seven teams on Saturday. Ohio State, Miami, Florida, Kentucky, Texas, Georgia and USC all made the cut for Kent, who’s considered the No. 140 prospect and No. 6 tight end in the 2026 class.

OSU offered Kent in May, as Keenan Bailey was impressed by the Georgia standout’s versatility.

In 11 games last season, Kent caught 17 passes for 394 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He was also used as a running back, running for 360 yards with five rushing touchdowns on 45 carries.

2027 GA CB Corey Hadley Jr. (Verbal Offer)

Corey Hadley Jr. thrilled to pick up OSU offer​

A top prospect in the 2027 class, Georgia cornerback Corey Hadley Jr., had his day made in May when Tim Walton gave him an Ohio State offer.

“I felt that all my hard work has been paying off,” Hadley told Eleven Warriors after receiving his offer. “I also understand that I must keep working so that this offer will still stand.”

Hadley is a two-way player for his high school, but he is being primarily recruited by OSU as a cornerback. He made his first visit to campus earlier this summer at a recruiting camp in June and got to spend time working out with Walton.
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back has 14 Division I offers, some of which include Auburn, Alabama, North Carolina, Mizzou, Maryland, Charlotte, Florida, Kentucky, UCF, USF and Western Kentucky. Hadley is only the second cornerback in the 2027 class Walton has offered to this point, with the first being Larry Moon III.

Hadley earned second-team All-Fayette County honors as a freshman after recording 17 tackles and a sack on defense as well as two touchdown catches for 40 yards on offense.

2025 TX OL Michael Fasusi (Oklahoma Signee)

Not that we really ever had a shot in this one, but the '25 Scholarship Offers thread is borderline depressing to update on OL. The thread is up to date in that department as far as I know it and McFadden is about all that's left unless we flip someone or hit the portal hard.
The Portal is all OSU has left for the OL in this class
