SF Brandon Noel (Official Thread)

Ohio State Forward Brandon Noel Sustains Foot Injury Vs. Nebraska, Out Indefinitely

Noel started the first 10 games of the year for Ohio State, but after freshman Amare Bynum emerged as a star at power forward, he's come off the bench the last three contests. Noel averages 8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. No other player on the Buckeyes' current bench averages more than 3.1 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Consistency has been an issue at times for Noel – 60 of his 103 points come from just three combined outings – but he carried Ohio State to a win with 29 points at Northwestern and kept the Buckeyes alive with 14 first-half points at Rutgers, preempting a 15-point comeback win.

With Noel out, Ohio State's next option to relieve Bynum and center Christoph Tilly in the frontcourt will be sophomore center Ivan Njegovan, who averages those above-mentioned 3.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. The Buckeyes need more scoring at-large from their bench, however, after it finished with 0 points for the second time this season in a big game. Diebler noted that Ohio State could experiment with more small-ball lineups, likely featuring Bynum at center and small forward Devin Royal at his former power forward position.

"It's something that we're searching for there," Diebler said. "And, listen, I think we have some guys who have had some better moments. Brandon was really good last game. He's been more aggressive. ... Gabe (Cupps) has done better. He's done a better job of not fouling there, but he's gotta be aggressive offensively. And we've got to find a way, certainly, to get some more production out of our bench."

2027 FL OL Reed Ramsier (Verbal Offer)

11W Forums

After naming Bama and OSU his top2 a month ago, IOL Reed Ramsier now has a top3 of FL, Miami, and Auburn.

Similar to Davis Seaman that I shared above, I think we're set at IOL and moved on. I'm still expecting us to spend big for a 5*-type OT, and an additional OT (such as Kalis or Johnson), and possibly another swing player.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

I’m a pretty hot-headed, competitive person in general. I want OSU to win every game and when they don’t my day(s) are ruined (getting better with age).

But I agree with others. I’m surprisingly at peace. Had friends “checking” on me after the loss and I was pretty meh. Disappointed with how they looked and how it ended. Got whooped and that sucked, but oh well.

As a fan, I’m sitting on a Natty and a win over That Team Up North. I’m good.

Check in with me again in 8 months when the Bucks are back on the field again though.

John Harbaugh out as coach of Ravens after missing playoffs

Harbaugh now becomes the hottest name in the coaching market if he decides to return to the sideline for the 2026 season.

His agent, Bryan Harlan, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that in the first 45 minutes after Harbaugh was fired Tuesday, Harlan received calls from seven NFL teams expressing interest in his client. There currently are seven NFL head coach openings, including Baltimore's.

Sources told Schefter that Harbaugh was expected to emerge as a favorite for the vacant job with the Giants.

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The house settlement was supposed to be an effective 20.5M cap with a clearinghouse making sure that any player NIL money going above that cap was for legitimate sponsorship payments. If NIL payments didn’t make it past the clearinghouse as legitimate then that payment went against the cap.

As I recall someone threatened to sue and they stopped enforcing it. Which is strange because it wasn’t an NCAA rule, it was a legal settlement approved by a judge.
