The Buckeyes are working to add more defensive prospects to their 2018 and 2019 classes.

Two snag Buckeye offers


As things sit today, Ohio State currently has 10 committed prospects in the fold for this year’s recruiting cycle. When browsing the list of elite names, you will run into just one defensive tackle. In fact, to this point, you’ll find just two defensive lineman in general: defensive end Brenton Cox and DT Taron Vincent.

On Wednesday, Ohio State took big steps to increase their chance of getting more defensive star prospects. The Buckeyes dropped an offer to ‘18 DT Tramel Walthour of Liberty County (GA).

For Buckeye fans, that program should be one that rings a bell. Back in 2014, the Scarlet and Gray reeled in Raekwon McMillan from that same school and it was undoubtedly one of the biggest pickups in the Urban Meyer-Ohio State era. Now three years later, McMillan is in camp with the Miami Dolphins looking to prove his worth as the franchise’s second round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

As for Walthour, he is a mammoth 6-foot-4, 277-pounder who is beginning to see his recruitment take off. Just hours after receiving an offer from the Buckeyes, the three-star prospect was also blessed with offers from both Arkansas and Auburn. Combine those three schools with Georgia, Purdue, Kansas State and a few other offers, and that will show you much more than his current ranking does. As of now, the 247Sports Crystal Ball for Walthour favors the local Bulldogs. So, if Ohio State wants to be the eventual landing spot for Hinesville native, they will have some catching up to do.

The other recipient of a Buckeye offer yesterday was ‘19 safety Daxton Hill from Booker T. Washington (OK).

Despite the lone Crystal Ball prediction going to Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State, the 6-foot, 182-pounder already has some options under his belt. Hill has already received offers from programs like Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, TCU and Texas. It’s a fairly safe bet to say that Hill is going to be one of the more highly touted players in next year’s cycle and definitely one of the better players on the defensive side of the ball. The very early grade on Hill from 247Sports pegs him as the 29th overall player in the class, the second best safety, and the second highest graded player from Oklahoma.

Smith hits Georgia


Sticking to the script of next year’s cycle, Ohio State sent wide receivers coach Zach Smith down to Georgia on Wednesday, and one of his stops was to Frederica Academy in Saint Simons Island, Ga.


Thanks for coming by today @CoachZachSmith pic.twitter.com/kENZkV1Vfn

— Coach Alex Mathis (@alexmathis) May 24, 2017

Obviously, the two big names to look for here are ‘19 wide receiver Jashawn Sheffield and ‘19 athlete Jaylin Simpson. Both hold offers from OSU, but other big time programs like Florida State have entered the fray.

If you have been following the Buckeyes pursuit of these talented Knights, you would know that Ohio State is all-in on trying to get these two in Columbus, Ohio. Combining the fact that Smith visited on Wednesday, and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day checking on the two just 10 days ago, the Buckeyes are leaving no stone unturned.

With that being said, it looks like the Buckeyes are gonna primarily battle with Florida State in these recruitments — a battle that is becoming all too familiar within the past few years.

Retracing the Paths of My Uncles part 7

Two stories always emerged at Brandt family get togethers. especially those around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The first story was that Aunt Rose bought one of those tiny, three-foot Christmas trees attached to a metal tree stand filled with God knows what chemicals intended to keep the tree alive or embalm it.

She mailed it in early November, in a box she stuffed with dry popcorn. Somehow the APO (Army Post Office) managed to get the tree to Uncle Cliff just as the 75th Division was entering the line of battle. Uncle Cliff, who was the family mechanical wizard, "liberated" a battery from the division motor pool and soon had the lights on the tree glowing in a company bunker, deep in the darkness of the Ardennes.

It was shortly after this that Uncle Cliff was shot in the leg - I don't know the circumstances, and he didn't receive a Purple Heart. Accident? Self Inflicted? There is no "line of duty investigation," or a courts martial summary. Only Uncle Cliff knows. But he was hospitalized and that leads to the second story.

Somehow, word got to Uncle Ray and he managed to get permission to take a jeep and visit Uncle Cliff.

That sounds like an ordinary event in civilian, peace-time terms. But this takes place in a disorganized, chaotic, battlefield, from two divisions who did not share an AO (Area of Operations), on roads that had been hammered by artillery, tanks, and traffic.

I grew up an isolate. My sister was eight years older and probably resented the hell out of the younger brother who got his father's name and was a male in an era when that meant so much more than it does today. (and no, I'm not suggesting gender equality exists in 2017) The story of Uncle Ray's determination to visit his brother always struck me, and when, in Vietnam, Uncle Cliff and Aunt Rose sent me a three-foot, chemically embalmed Christmas tree, I fully understood how difficult it must have been to accomplish and I understood what family means.

LGHL Jalyn Holmes might have a big 2017 season for Ohio State

Jalyn Holmes might have a big 2017 season for Ohio State

Another year could make a huge difference for the defensive lineman.

Ohio State defensive end Jalyn Holmes has shown flashes of greatness.

- Ryan Ginn, Land of 10


Jalyn Holmes has done just that since joining Ohio State in 2014, where he immediately got some burn in the Big Ten championship and the College Football Playoff finale. Last year, he had 8.5 tackles for loss and two sacks. It seemed at times when the defense really need a play, he was there.

“If you go back and watch film on Jalyn last year, I thought he plays the most consistent of all the guys,” defensive line coach Larry Johnson said. “He is a starter in my mind. He practices like a starter and practices with the 1s, so to me, he is a 1.”

“I think he brings a lot to the table. He has got high energy, great leadership skills and he wants to be great. And a guy who works as hard as he does to be in [his] position, I am really excited about what Jalyn can bring to the table.” It’ll be Holmes’ second year as a starter, and past Buckeyes have shown that’s typically when you can see greater improvement.

Best picks of the century from Ohio State

- Chase Goodbread, NFL.com


Ohio State has had 115 players selected in the draft since 2000, most among all FBS programs, according to Goodbread. The top three players in his rankings were Nick Mangold, Ezekiel Elliott, and LeCharles Brantley at No. 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Mangold should be no surprise at the top spot, despite Elliott’s monster rookie season. He spent 11 years with the Jets before being released his offseason, and started all 16 regular season games for the first five seasons of his career. If Elliott proves to have a consistent career in the Dallas backfield, there’s no doubt that he’d jump Mangold.

At No. 4 and No. 5 are Joey Bosa and Donte Whitner. Bosa also had one heck of a rookie season in 2016 for the Chargers. His presence immediately improved their defense, and had 10.5 sacks in 12 games. Much like Elliott, if he keeps that type of production up, he’ll move on up the list.

The Big Ten moving its conference tournament up a week to play at Madison Square Garden has left CBS in need of a new lead-in to its annual NCAA tournament selection show.

- Mike Rutherford, SB Nation


This could be a mighty big pain for Ohio State and its fans if the Buckeyes can compete next season. The Big Ten will be moving their conference tournament a week in order to play at Madison Square Garden. That now means we’ll have another week to wait and see if the Buckeyes make the tournament, if they’re even able to make it on the bubble.

To replace the Big Ten, the American Athletic Conference will be aired on CBS on March 10, along with the championship game on Selection Sunday. The Big Ten will return to its normal role in 2019, so this could end up not being a big deal for Ohio State after all.

LGHL Are there schools you wouldn’t miss if they left the Big Ten?

Are there schools you wouldn’t miss if they left the Big Ten?
Matt Brown
via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land

usa_today_9772330.0.jpg

It’s okay. You don’t have to love everybody. I certainly don’t.

I realize that writing this opens me up to some serious “Freezing Cold Takes” treatment if things change, but right now, it looks like Big Ten membership should be very stable for the foreseeable future.

The conference has an exceptionally lucrative TV deal, and thanks to their massive alumni bases and deep history, should stand to be profitable no matter what happens next with the evolution of TV rights. The schools share similar academic profiles — everybody but Nebraska is in the AAU — and have similar missions. Plus they’re anchored by some of the biggest brands in the entire sport.

The Big Ten is the oldest conference in college football, and it sure doesn’t look like anybody would want to leave.

But just because we’re stuck with everybody doesn’t mean we have to love everybody equally. After all, Ohio State fans generally don’t have the same geographic tribalism that say, SEC fans do. Nobody is chanting “BEE-ONE-GEE” because Iowa or Maryland did something, unless they’re being meta/ironic.

So, since it’s late May and there isn’t a whole lot going on, let me pose a question to you:

Are these teams you wouldn’t miss if they left the Big Ten?

Clearly, losing some schools would be catastrophic. As much as us Buckeye fans hate Michigan, only the most sadistic of us would want anything to happen to the Wolverines that would end, or dramatically cheapen, their rivalry. Even if it isn’t cool to admit this in some corners of the internet, Penn State is basically a secondary rival, and losing them would suck. Ohio State has had meaningful games over the last decade with schools like Michigan State and Wisconsin, and even though they haven’t played that much, I imagine not that many Buckeye fans would want to see Nebraska leave so soon.

But other schools? Sure, I see the appeal of maintaining historical affiliations, or of academic prestige. But if we’re just talking about creating compelling matchups for Ohio State athletics, I’ll be honest with y’all — If three teams decided they were leaving the Big Ten tomorrow, I wouldn’t personally shed a tear.

Those teams? Minnesota, Northwestern, and Rutgers.

I don’t have anything personal against Minnesota. Minneapolis is a lovely city, and Minnesota is a great school. But let’s take a quick look at the recent history of the Ohio State-Minnesota series:

Screen_Shot_2017_05_24_at_11.03.04_AM.png
Winsipedia

This hasn’t just been a one-sided affair; it’s been a mostly boring one-sided affair. Not only were most of these games blowouts, they weren’t meaningful. Over the last decade, the most important moments in Ohio State-Minnesota history was a 2014 win that wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicated, and a large adult assistant coach eating ice cream on the sidelines.

Minnesota’s basketball team has improved their fortunes significantly over the last year, and may compete for a Big Ten title next season, but they’ve also been up and down. Do any of you look forward to playing Minnesota in anything? Do you feel an especially close connection to anything Minnesota? I personally don’t.

Northwestern follows a similar pattern. Let’s take a look at that series:

Screen_Shot_2017_05_24_at_11.10.31_AM.png
Winsipedia

You’ll have to go all the way back to 1971 to find the next Northwestern win. While the last two games have been close — and the 2013 game actually memorable and important — the historical rule whenever Ohio State and Northwestern play in anything is that Ohio State almost always wins. Often, by quite a bit.

Their stadiums are small and lag far behind the rest of the conference. Their alumni base is way smaller. And unless you live in Chicago, or work in the media or marketing, you probably don’t run into that many Northwestern fans in your life. You don’t need Northwestern in your life to have an excuse to go to Chicago. It’s okay.

It’s nice having another fancy-pants academic power in the conference, I guess. And their basketball program is improving, although we can still count their all-time NCAA tournament appearances on one finger. But if Northwestern left, and Ohio State played them once every 15 or 20 years as an out of conference opponent? That’d be fine with me. And this is coming from a guy that married an Evanston native and has family ties to the school.

The last almost goes without saying.

You don’t need me to rehash the argument against Rutgers, which could easily go 1,000 words, but let’s just be brief: Outside of lacrosse, wrestling and women’s soccer, Rutgers is bad at most sports, and because of the school’s financial situation and historical lack of investment, they’re likely to be bad at most sports for at least a while longer. They may be a decade plus away from beating Ohio State in football. They don’t have the benefit of decades and decades of historical affiliation with Ohio State. They’re not in the Midwest.

Every game you play against Rutgers is a game you don’t play against Nebraska, or Wisconsin, or Iowa, or somebody more fun out of conference. I wish the school nothing but the best, and for all of our sakes, I hope the athletic department continues its slow growth. But if they decided they were going to jump ship for the Big East 2: Electric Boogaloo and left tomorrow? I wouldn’t cry.


Maybe you feel differently. Maybe you’d be fine with Ohio State ditching Purdue, or Indiana, or Illinois. Maybe you hate the idea of non-midwestern expansion and want Maryland to leave; as a PG County resident, they’ve grown on me, but I’m selfish. Maybe you treasure the history so much that anybody leaving would crush you. Maybe you hate somebody else, I don’t know.

It’s academic, because nobody is leaving, nor should they. But if you’re going to tell me you’re personally hyped up for the next time Ohio State plays Northwestern, I think you’d be the first.

After denying a previous report citing Thad Matta, Williams speaks out.

A few weeks back, Ohio State senior-to-be guard Kam Williams was reportedly removing his name from NBA Draft consideration and returning to school for his final year of eligibility. After the ubiquitous Jon Rothstein cited Buckeyes head coach Thad Matta, all sounded good, in terms of the Buckeyes’ best chance for some actual upperclassman leadership and guard depth.

But then Williams took to Twitter and vehemently denied the report, stating that nobody ever bothered actually checking with him.

It would seem the drama is a thing of the past, as early Wednesday, as we approached the deadline for players to either cement their 2017 NBA Draft status or elect to return to school if they hadn’t hire an agent, Williams posted to Instagram a pretty clear indication what the 2017-2018 season holds in store:


more year. Just as excited is those dudes lol

A post shared by Baltimore, MD (@kamwilliams15) on May 24, 2017 at 6:31am PDT

Williams’ numbers weren’t mind-blowing last year, but he was effective upon being inserted to the OSU starting lineup late in the season. He finished the campaign averaging 9.4 points per game, 2.1 boards and an assist per contest.

Perhaps most importantly, Williams provides some long-range shooting ability, something the Buckeyes have lacked in recent years.

Will adding a senior guard to the mix do enough to change what could be a long season? That remains to be seen.

Once again, the Buckeyes are going into SEC territory.

Georgia product gets Ohio State offer


2019 cornerback Jalen Perry (Dacula, GA / Dacula) picked up an offer from Ohio State on Tuesday. Perry made it known that he held a coveted OSU offer with a tweet.


Thankful to receive an offer from THE Ohio State University! #BuckeyeNation @ChadSimmons_ @MurfBaldwin @therealkwat @HamiltonESPN pic.twitter.com/usGyODd9yW

— Jalen Perry (@Jayworld05) May 23, 2017

While he is just coming off a sophomore season, already looks like the kind of athlete the Buckeyes covet at the cornerback position. The CB comes in at 6-foot and 180 pounds. His lengthy body makes him a prime target for Ohio State, as he’s a guy who can lock onto and shut down receivers anywhere on the field.

Perry is from the Peach State, so holding off the in-state Georgia Bulldogs will be no easy task for the Buckeyes. However, Ohio State has had a ton of success recruiting the Peach State in the last decade. The Ohio State offer runs Perry’s total to 11, and though he has not yet been evaluated by the major recruiting sites, it’s very likely that he ends up as a four-star prospect—so expect more offers to be filling up his mailbox in the near future.

In addition to Ohio State and Georgia, Perry holds notable offers from Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee. The Buckeyes will try and get him on campus this summer for an unofficial visit or a camp.

If you want to see what Jalen can do, below is a sophomore highlight reel that is on Hudl.

Staying in the 2019 class


In a report from 247Sports’ Bill Kurelic, 2019 quarterback Michael Johnson (Eugene, OR /Sheldon) likes Ohio State a lot and will be trying to get back on campus sometime this summer. The Buckeyes have recruited the quarterback position as well as any program the last couple of years and will look to add one of the best in the class of 2019. Now, this recruitment will not likely end anytime soon and is sure to go on well into Johnson’s senior season. However, the Buckeyes are in it early and have positioned themselves nicely as Johnson heads into his junior season.

Already, there is stiff competition for the dual-threat QB. Ohio State joins Oregon (the hometown program), LSU and Georgia as programs that have offered the Eugene native a scholarship since the beginning of March.
