Cardale Jones might be the Bills’ best quarterback option next season

With few veteran or rookie options available, the Bills may turn to Jones to fill the quarterback void.
“Jones, last year’s fourth-round pick from Ohio State, has plenty of talent, but only time will tell whether he has acquired much-needed maturity to understand the amount of time and effort it takes to prepare to play his best.”
-Vic Carucci, The Buffalo News
While it is apparent that Tyrod Taylor is not the quarterback of the future for the Buffalo Bills, what is less obvious is who will replace the two-year starter. The ball is in the Bill’s court to pick up Taylor’s contract extension, worth $30.75 million in guaranteed money, and with thin options on the bench in Buffalo, the best move might just be to accept Taylor as the starter for the time being.
The Bills have the 10th-overall pick in the NFL Draft this year, but there are not many first-round worthy quarterback prospects available, especially at such a high position, and the Bills have a lot of other needs at alternative positions that could be met with their premium picks.
Early feedback on North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky indicates that he will need significant improvement to his throwing mechanics before he can be a viable NFL quarterback, and while the Bills would have the option to trade up for him, it would be looked upon as a poor move for an unproven talent. Similarly, Deshaun Watson of Clemson has shown considerable skill in the college football arena, but many view his talents as being more suited to the college game.
Without a logical choice in the draft, a trade seems probable, but the most promising veteran option--Jimmy Garoppolo--would likely cost the Bills an exorbitant sum when trading with a division rival in the Patriots. Other options, including Tampa Bay’s Mike Glennon, Dallas’s Tony Romo and Chicago’s Jay Cutler are all far less likely veteran options that would not benefit Buffalo in the long run.
However, the answer may already be on the Bills’ roster. General Manager Doug Whaley has been supportive of former Buckeye Cardale Jones, whose only playing time in his rookie season came in the Bills’ final regular season matchup against the Jets (he went 6-for-11 for 96 yards and one interception). Given the dearth of draft and available veteran talent on the market, Jones might find himself in the de facto quarterback position for the Bills come next season.
“They have a lot of pride, great tradition and eight national titles, so anytime you can beat a team like that, it’s a great day.”

Third-ranked Ohio State men’s tennis swept No. 10 Georgia yesterday 4-0 in their seventh sweep of the year. The Buckeyes now sit at a perfect 9-0 to start the season. Ohio State defeated the Bulldogs 3-0 in singles behind wins from senior Herkko Pollanen (6-2, 6-4), junior Mikael Torpegaard (6-4, 6-4) and freshman Kyle Seelig (6-2, 7-5). Earlier in the day, Ohio State had earned the hard-fought doubles point in three matches. Junior Hugo Di Feo and sophomore Martin Joyce won the first match 6-2 before junior Matt Mendez and sophomore Hunter Tubert were defeated by the same score--the Buckeyes’ first doubles loss of the season. Then, in the final doubles match, Torpegaard and Pollanen earned a break to win the doubles match 6-4 and earn the doubles point for the Buckeyes.
Thus far, all of Ohio State’s matches have been played at home, but the Buckeyes travel to their first away match Wednesday against Penn State in State College. They then have a quick turnaround before heading to the ITA Indoor Championships in Charlottesville.
The women’s team, meanwhile, just experienced its first loss of the season to second-ranked North Carolina in the semifinals of the ITA national women’s team indoor championship in a hard-fought, 4-3 loss. The Buckeyes lost the doubles point early by a 2-1 score. The two squads were tied 3-3 in singles matches with wins by Ohio State seniors Sandy Niehaus, Miho Kowase and Ferny Angeles Paz, but the Tar Heels clinched the match, with fifth-ranked Hayley Carter of North Carolina defeating sophomore Francesca Di Lorenzo--the top-ranked women’s player in the NCAA--in three sets. Di Lorenzo, a three-time ITA national champion, is now 3-1 versus Carter individually. Next up, the 7-1 women’s team faces Michigan in Columbus Friday in their first conference matchup of the season.

The fourth-ranked Ohio State wrestling team scored two big wins over the weekend over No. 6 Nebraska Friday in Lincoln and No. 12 Minnesota Sunday in Minneapolis to close out the regular season. The Buckeyes finished the regular season 11-2 overall and 7-2 in conference with wins over seven teams ranked in the top-25 nationally.
Earlier in the weekend, the Buckeyes earned a decisive 24-13 win over the Huskers--the first-ever win in Lincoln in program history. Ohio State boasts three top-ranked wrestlers in their respective classes, all of whom earned victories over Nebraska. Overall, the Buckeyes won seven of their 10 matchups, including four over opponents individually ranked in the top-10 nationally in their own weight classes.
After a short turnaround, Ohio State earned an extremely narrow 24-20 victory in bonus points after splitting 10 matches with Minnesota and winning four of five matches in bonus points. Two falls, a technical fall and a major decision helped to close the 20-14 deficit to give the Buckeyes their third-straight win, all of which have come over ranked opponents. It was the first Ohio State win in Minneapolis since 1993.
Last week, the Buckeyes earned a 23-18 win over No. 13 Rutgers to get back on track following consecutive losses against No. 3 Iowa and No. 2 Penn State. Kyle Snyder (heavyweight), Nathan Tomasello (133-pounds) and Bo Jordan (174-pounds) were undefeated in the regular season.
Next up, Ohio State is scheduled to face No. 9 Cornell in NWCA Championship Dual Series, in which Big Ten conference teams go up against out of conference teams in a national showcase. Following the duals, the Buckeyes head to the Big Ten Championships in Bloomington the first week of March.

Ohio State a 3 seed in latest NIT bracket projections
Matt Brown via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The Buckeyes are currently slated to face Memphis.
The Buckeyes battled hard against Maryland, but didn’t have quite enough gas in the tank with a shorthanded roster. But the good news is, that hasn’t impacted their postseason chances too badly.
According to NYC Buckets, one of the most prolific and reliable bracket projectors, Ohio State is still in decent position to make the NIT. Their latest projections list the Buckeyes as a three seed, facing six seeded Memphis.
Memphis, in case you were wondering, is 18-8, and currently listed at 81 in KenPom. Ohio State is 61.
The NIT could have a Big Ten flavor this season, as the conference has underachieved relative to their last several seasons. Indiana is projected to be a top seed in the NIT, and joining Ohio State in it’s region are fifth seeded Penn State, and seventh seeded Iowa. Illinois is also projected in the field, as a six seed.
Ohio State might still have an outside shot at an NCAA Tournament bid without winning the Big Ten Tournament, but it would require them to probably win the rest of their regular season games. At the very least, their game at Michigan State tomorrow would be an absolute must-win.
Since regular season conference champions are guaranteed an NIT bid, the bracket could look very different once conference tournaments begin, as upsets in low major conferences could create lots of NIT bid-stealers.
But if this is accurate, if Ohio State is able to win just a few more games, the odds are good they’ll get another chance to play after the Big Ten Tournament.

Ohio State dishes out scholarship offers to 2018 standouts

The Buckeyes enter the ring for a pair of top 2018 prospects.
Before you can suit up for Urban Meyer and the Ohio State football team, you have to earn a scholarship offer from the coaching staff. Over the weekend a pair of top prospects reportedly received their chance to roll with Meyer and the Buckeyes after adding OSU to their offer lists.
To get the weekend started, Ohio State dished out a scholarship to class of 2018 wide receiver Justyn Ross (Phenix City, AL / Central) on Friday night.
Ross, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound playmaker adds the offer from the Big Ten power alongside chances to play at programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida and Florida State.

— Justyn Ross . (@_Jross5) February 11, 2017
An Under Armour All-America selection, Ross, who hauled in 38 receptions for 663 yards and eight touchdowns last season after bouncing back from multiple knee injuries, is currently considered the fourth wide receiver and 31st overall prospect in the class of 2018, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Even though it was previously reported that Thomas Booker (Baltimore, MD / Gilman) held a scholarship from OSU, the four-star rated athlete formally announced his offer from the Buckeyes on Saturday morning.

— Thomas Booker (@tbooksiv) February 11, 2017
With nearly 20 full ride scholarship offers on the table, Booker is a hot commodity on the recruiting trail. With quite a few decent options, Ohio State, Michigan and Maryland are just three of the schools off his list of potential landing spots for the 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive end.

- Four-star class of 2018 defensive tackle Michael Thompson tells Bill Kurelic of Bucknuts that he plans to make it back to Ohio State in the spring. No stranger to Columbus, the Missouri native made the trek to the 614 twice last season to see the Buckeyes in action.

Ohio State-Iowa 2017 final score: Buckeyes use late run to hold off Hawkeyes, 88-81

The Buckeyes ran their winning streak to eight with a gritty win.
After an eight-day layoff, the Ohio State women’s basketball team took advantage of a late cold spell by visiting Iowa to put together a 16-9 run in the final minutes and claim a 88-81 victory at Value City Arena in Columbus. The Buckeyes have now won a season-high eight in a row and stand 12-1 in Big Ten play.
Ohio State got the win despite major struggles by Kelsey Mitchell for much of the game. The Buckeyes’ All-American guard scored 20 pretty ugly points, shooting just 7-for-19 from the field and making just one of eight from three point range.
Ohio State was also without the Big Ten’s leading rebounder Stephanie Mavunga, who suffered a foot injury and is expected to miss a couple of weeks. But the Buckeyes got 19 points from Sierra Calhoun and an 20 point, eight rebound effort from Shayla Cooper to help make up for the lost production.
Iowa, one of the youngest teams in the conference, got 22 points from Ally Disterhoft and a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds from Megan Gustafson in the losing effort.
Ohio State showed little rust from its layoff early, as Cooper asserted herself for four quick points and Calhoun knocked down a pair of three-pointers en route to a 14-7 lead. Disterhoft kept Iowa in contact, though, scoring five and finding Gustafson for a layup with a nice dime.
The Buckeyes went cold to close the first quarter, managing just six points in the final four and a half minutes, which allowed the Hawkeyes to close the deficit. After ten minutes, the score was tied at 20.
Iowa came out strong to start the second, hitting on their first four shots from the floor. Calhoun stayed hot from beyond the arc, though, knocking down her third of the half, which was followed by a layup from Tori McCoy that sent Gustafson to the bench with her second foul and gave Ohio State a slim 33-29 lead.
Disterhoft and Makenzie Meyer picked up the slack with Gustafson on the bench, combining to score 12 points in the frame, but Calhoun’s fourth three-point make sent the Buckeyes into the locker room with a 41-38 advantage.
Calhoun’s 14 points paced Ohio State, while Cooper added 10. Mitchell scored just four on 2-for-8 shooting, and missed all four of her attempts from long range. Disterhoft scored 14 to lead the Hawkeyes, who failed to score in the final two minutes of the half.
The third quarter saw Mitchell finally connect from three for the first time and Calhoun knock down her fifth, and Cooper show her inside-out versatility, as the Buckeyes took their largest lead of the game at 55-44 with just over five minutes to go.
Gustafson finally got a rhythm going with the absence of Mavunga down low, scoring five straight points for Iowa and nine in the period. Ohio State once again had an icy spell, hitting on just one of its last five shots and turning it over three times in quick succession, and took just a 64-58 lead to the final ten minutes.
Right out of the gate to start the fourth quarter, Meyer hit a three and Disterhoft and Kathleen Doyle each split a pair of free throws to fuel a 9-0 run for the Hawkeyes that closed the gap to 64-63. After Mitchell uncharacteristically missed a free throw, Alexa Kastanek hit a three to give Iowa its first lead since the midway point of the second quarter, 66-65.
Both sides had trouble putting the ball in the bucket after that, with Iowa failing to hit on a field goal for nearly five minutes and Ohio State for two and a half. But both also wore out a path to the free throw line, combining for 25 attempts in the final frame.
A pair of layups by Kiara Lewis and a pair of Mitchell jumpers gave the Buckeyes an 80-72 lead with just over two minutes remaining, and fast break layups off turnovers by Mitchell and Cooper iced things from there as Ohio State held on.
Up next, the Buckeyes will take on Nebraska in Lincoln on Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. ET. The game will be streaming live on BTN Plus.
