My grandfather had a small rundown farm in Gore, Ohio. I loved the grands, but they did seem to live rather primitively when compared to Columbus. One day, I was about 6 years old and walking toward him when I heard a rattler start its shaker. Grandpa held up both hands to say, stand still. He reached down into the weeds, grabbed the rattler by the tail, and snapped it like a bullwhip, the head coming off in this one movement. He then told us to not touch it if we found it and threw the body away. He went from country hick to Superman in one fell swoop!

In the immortal words of Yogi, 'it ain't over, until it's over'. Again, the question is how much money does it take to overtake the hometown/state advantage? Wonder if tOSU will take a run at this guy, as LJsr might be getting a bit desperate. Also wonder how much pressure Day puts on him to 'keep up' with his other recruiters? Can visualize this year as being the turning point, what with an entire new DL, which will see how well LJsr does with these players. But have learned (?) not to underestimate LJsr, who appears to be the energizer bunny of coaches.

OSU couldn’t land this kid unless they emptied the entire rest of their NIL war chest for the year. Kids like won’t end up at a school like OSU, because they are looking to get the biggest deal possible, and a school the size of Maryland is not only his hometown school, but has the money from their collective to offer Elee 7 figures along with a ton of incentives that OSU just wouldnt(and frankly doesn’t have to). What Maryland can offer Elee, is like what Ojo is being offered at Tech, and that’s the type of deals that a mid tier school can throw at 1 exact recruit. And on top of that, Elee now wants to play both sides of the ball, in no way would OSU allow that insanity. They just told the reigning Mr. Football in OH who’s a QB for ‘26 to keep rocks because he wanted to play baseball along with football.

LB Chris Spielman (2x All-American, 4x Pro Bowl, 3x All-Pro, CFB HOF)

Buckerooni
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.

PF EJ Liddell (All B1G, All-American, Chicago Bulls)

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.

The 2022 WR class was terrible lol.

That class didn't have a chance though. Besides almost all of them constantly being injured, they were sandwiched between 2 amazing WR classes in 2021(Egbuka and MHjr) and 2023(Tate, Inniss and Rodgers). And then on top of that, if any of them had even stayed until their 3rd years, they would have to compete against one of the greatest HS WRs ever in JJ Smith in 2024 along with Mylan Graham. That was a throwaway class.
