Ohio State to face North Carolina in 2017, UCLA in 2018, Kentucky in 2019

The CBS Sports Classic’s been extended through 2019

With a huge weekend non-conference game against UCLA still to come, Ohio State basketball made official three more monster out of conference games over the next three seasons.

Beginning next season, in New Orleans, OSU will start a trio of winter big time college basketball matchups in a continuation of the past two years’ CBS Sports Classic by taking on Roy Williams and North Carolina. In 2018, the Buckeyes will rematch this weekend’s opponents, the UCLA Bruins. The following Winter, the Bucks will get Kentucky, their opponent in 2015, a second time. The dates and venues for the 2018 and 2019 editions of the classic are yet to be determined.

This makes for a potentially brutal 2017-2018 out-of-conference slate for the Buckeyes, and assuming the best, head coach Thad Matta. Ohio State and 15 other Nike schools will also participate in a Portland, OR based Phil Knight Invitational. College basketball mainstays like Duke, UNC, Florida, Georgetown, Butler, UConn, Gonzaga, Michigan State will join the likes of OSU, Arkansas, Portland, Portland State, Stanford, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Texas. That’s set to take place in late November of 2017.

While the uptick in degree of difficulty will help OSU’s tournament chances, should they weather the storm, coming up short in multiple big non-conference matchups could leave OSU without a signature road/neutral court win on their resume. If Ohio State’s current season goes belly up, it could make for a tough beginning for whomever’s at the helm of the basketball Buckeyes then — or even make what could be one of the final seasons of the Matta era that much more challenging.

2 Ohio State commits receive state Player of the Year honors
Dan Hessler via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The Buckeyes’ 2017 recruiting class now boasts the best player from Nevada and Florida.

Ohio State’s 2017 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best in the program’s history. With six five-star commitments, the Buckeyes have been able to successfully bring in players of an elite caliber. On Monday, two of the classes biggest members were recognized as the Gatorade Player of the Year for their respective states.

Four-star quarterback Tate Martell (Las Vegas, NV / Bishop Gorman) and five-star defensive back Shaun Wade (Jacksonville, FL / Trinity Christian Academy) were recognized as winners of the award, which were announced via HUDL.

For Martell, this is the second time he has been honored with the prestigious award. The four-star QB led the Bishop Gorman Gaels to a third-straight national championship this season and has accounted for more than 60 touchdowns in his renowned career.



The accolade was a first for Wade, who reaffirmed his commitment with the Buckeyes late Monday afternoon. The blue-chip prospect comes in as the fourth best DB in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and is the No. 22 player in the 2017 class. Wade originally committed to Ohio State in January 2015, but continued to visit other programs throughout the past two years. Alabama was seen as the best bet to flip Wade, but in the end, Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes prevailed.


Along with Martell and Wade, another big-time target for Ohio State in the 2017 class received the accolade for best player in the state. Five-star running back Cam Akers (Clinton, MS / Clinton) was the recipient of the award for Mississippi. While it would be surprising to see the No. 2 overall RB in the class and the fourth-best player overall choose Ohio State, the Buckeyes are still very much in play.

Donovan Peoples-Jones sets announcement date


The Buckeyes have already been able to secure two of the country’s top five wideouts in this year’s recruiting class, but it appears Urban Meyer is doing his best to add another one.

Meyer and Buckeye Nation would love to see the No. 1 wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (Detroit, MI / Cass Tech) join Tyjon Lindsey and Trevon Grimes. However, Michigan has been the team to beat in his recruitment for a while now, and it would be very surprising to see him commit anywhere else at this point.

That being said, Meyer has been able to pull off crazier things in the past, and he is doing his due diligence to try and pull off a miracle of sorts. As we reported earlier, Meyer and his coaching staff traveled to The State of North this past weekend for an impromptu in-home visit with Peoples-Jones and it seemed to go over well.

Fast forward to Monday and we are now in a recruiting dead period, meaning coaches cannot physically speak with recruits. With that in mind, Peoples-Jones confirmed that he will be announcing his decision this Thursday.


This is definitely one to keep an eye on, as People-Jones is one of the best overall players in this class and to secure three of the top five WRs in a class would be game-changing for an already elite program.

While Michigan is the likely choice, Meyer and the Buckeyes can’t be counted out.

Ohio State is all over the new Rivals Top100 for 2018


Rivals’ updated recruiting rankings for the 2018 recruiting class onMonday, and the list is littered with Ohio State commitments and targets.

Both of Ohio State’s commitments for the class were recognized as top 20 players, as five-star QB Emory Jones (Franklin, GA / Heard County) came in at No. 14 and four-star RB Brian Snead (Seffner, FL / Armwood) was listed at No. 18.

Also making the cut were plenty of Ohio State targets, including the No. 2 overall player in Jackson Carman (Fairfield, OH / Fairfield). Carman is a five-star offensive tackle and is a heavy Buckeye lean at this point. The Buckeyes will need to continue recruiting Carman though, as he has offers from pretty much every recognized program in the country.

There were also plenty of other Ohio State targets to make the list Monday. And as Mark Gilver of BuckeyeGrove.com put it, the Buckeyes have a realistic shot with at least 11 of the top 25 prospects.

Knock me over with a feather

J.T. Barrett has earned his place among the best Ohio State quarterbacks
Meredith Hein via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


He may be valued for his on-field leadership, but the Buckeye quarterback has thrown up some big career numbers.

“Such is life for a quarterback that is not without flaws playing behind an offensive line with a leaky right tackle and a group of true wide receivers that have largely struggled to emerge.”

-Chris Lauderback, Eleven Warriors


He may not be the flashiest player on the field, but there can be little doubt that J.T. Barrett is one of the top players to ever grace the quarterback position at Ohio State. This season alone, Barrett has thrown 24 touchdowns to five interceptions and run for another nine scores. He is second on the team in rushing behind running back Mike Weber with 847 rushing yards in the regular season. Individually, he is 35th nationally in total offense per game with 272.9 yards per game (that’s good for third in the Big Ten, too).

Even while splitting time with Cardale Jones last season, Barrett has, over the course of three years at Ohio State, planted himself firmly in the record books as a top performer in most statistical categories among quarterbacks. Entering 2016, Barrett held the school records for career average total offense per game (249.2) and career 300-yard total offense games (15). Already this season, Barrett has earned the top spot in:

• Career passing yards per game (178.8), overtaking Joe Germaine (172.2 yards per game in 37 games)
• Career 200 yard passing games (18), passing Bobby Hoying’s record (16)
• Career 200 yard total-offense games (26), overtaking Art Schlichter, Hoying, Steve Bellisari, Troy Smith and Braxton Miller
• Career completions (510), passing Hoying (498)
• Career touchdown passes (69), passing Hoying (57). Barrett has also thrown just 19 interceptions to Hoying’s 35 over the course of his run
• Career touchdowns responsible for (100), overtaking Miller (88)

This season, Barrett could also break Schlichter’s mark on career total yards of offense (8,850) with a 130 yard performance against Clemson. Next year, assuming Barrett’s return to Columbus, he would also be able to crack Schlichter’s career passing yards record (7,547) and possibly Germaine’s 300-yard passing games record (eight).

“Since Troy Smith won it in 2006, the closest any Ohio State player has come was when Braxton Miller finished fifth in 2012 and J.T. Barrett finished fifth in 2014.”

-Ryan Ginn, Land of 10


Quarterback Lamar Jackson brought home Louisville’s first-ever Heisman Trophy Saturday night, winning by the largest margin in 70 years of Heisman voting by more than 600 points over runner-up Deshaun Watson of Clemson. However, for the first time since 2011, no Ohio State player broke the top-10 of voting--a fact that particularly stings given that even Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers garnered a fifth-place finish.

Heading into the season, quarterback J.T. Barrett seemed to be the Buckeyes’ best hope for a Heisman in 2016. Especially given three stellar performances in non-conference victories early in the season (and then Rutgers), his stock was certainly on the rise heading into conference play. However, like the rest of the offense, Barrett entered a slump that lasted from Ohio State’s matchup with Indiana through to Wisconsin, Penn State and Northwestern. His Heisman stock went down and did not recover, even with near perfect performances against Nebraska and Maryland.

Next season, Barrett’s odds improve dramatically. He will have a more experienced offensive line, even with the loss of Pat Elflein, and a receiving corps that, so unlike last year, will have actually seen the field before. It doesn’t hurt that Barrett is also a third-year starter and the unquestioned leader of a championship-caliber team, which tends to help in the voting.

Beyond Barrett, H-back Curtis Samuel was the only player in the nation to record at least 700 receiving yards and 700 rushing yards on the season this year. One of the most dynamic players on the field, it seemed like Samuel couldn’t touch the ball enough this year. While he is electrifying on offense, Samuel also has the opportunity to rack up return yardage next season as Ohio State’s go-to man, which would certainly grab the attention of voters.

Running back Mike Weber and wide receiver Noah Brown also showed flashes of brilliance this season which, if improved and made more consistent heading into next year, could make them dark horses for the trophy by the end of the season.

“It seems like he’s calmed down a little bit more and has a great focus about how he’s playing. He’s starting to get a little more instinctive, especially on the defensive end, which is good to see. He’s not as robotic. He’s challenging shots and making big plays.”

-Thad Matta, via Bill Landis, Cleveland.com


In a season which has already shown the inconsistency that plagued the Ohio State men’s basketball team last year, it seems that one player alone has risen above the noise to provide reliability for the 8-2 Buckeyes. Coming off the bench Saturday, big man Trevor Thompson scored 17 points alongside 17 rebounds for Ohio State against a strong UConn team, who had held the seven-foot center scoreless in last year’s meeting between the two teams.

Thus far, Thompson has been the most improved player on the Ohio State roster this season, averaging 11 points and a team-high 8.6 rebounds. He is also shooting nearly 67 percent from the field, which leads the team, and is one of the most reliable free throw shooters for Ohio State, hitting 26-of-33 from the line this season. Comparatively, he is averaging just over one turnover per game, which is low for a team which has been notoriously poor in that area.

Not only are his stats strong on the team for this season, they are also much-improved over his own performance last season. Through 10 games, Thompson has doubled his points, rebounds and blocks over the same 10 game stretch as last season. He has also increased his field goal percentage and spent more time--nearly five minutes per game longer--on the court this season.

Even so, Thad Matta cites focus as an issue for Thompson--something which plagued the big man last year and, at times, this season. Those momentary lapses in judgement have become less common, however, and Thompson has shown himself able to learn and rebound from those moments, putting himself and his team in a better position to make a play as a result. While the rest of the team has had its issues so far this season, Thompson has provided a reliable presence on the court.

2017 5-star CB Shaun Wade reaffirms commitment to Ohio State

(re-)BOOOOOOM!

It may not technically be a recruiting “#BOOOOOM”, but Ohio State just got some major recruiting news that will help solidify their epic 2017 recruiting class.

Shaun Wade, a current Ohio State commit, reaffirmed his pledge on Twitter today. Wade may have been committed to the Buckeyes for almost two years, but he was still taking other visits, including to Alabama, long considered a major threat to flip the five-star mega recruit.


Wade is the 22nd best prospect in his class, according to the 247Sports Composite, the forth best cornerback, and the fifth overall ranked prospect in the talent rich state of Florida. He picked the Buckeyes over Alabama, Florida State, Michigan, Florida, and virtually every other major program.

With Wade’s commitment more secured, the Buckeyes currently have six five-star prospects in their 2017 recruiting class, paced by recent linebacker commitment Baron Browning. There’s a good chance for the Buckeyes to grab at least one more five-star before it’s all said and done.

With expected attrition in Ohio State’s secondary, Wade could well have a chance to contribute early, if not very early.

Buckeye Grove’s getting even bigger this offseason.

After several Buckeyes received high praise from ESPN.com this morning for their outstanding play, a trio of Buckeyes added to their outstanding careers with recognition from arguably the most prestigious college football All-American team out there.

Already the winner of the Rimington Trophy, OSU center Pat Elflein was joined by teammates Curtis Samuel and Malik Hooker as first team 2016 Associated Press All-Americans. Fellow Buckeyes guard Billy Price, linebacker Raekwon McMillan, and punter Cameron Johnston were named to the AP’s second team.

Any OSU player named to a "reputable, mainstream” first team All-America team receives the honor of a Buckeye tree being planted just outside Ohio Stadium for their contributions to the football program. With the way the Urban Meyer era’s going to this point, Buckeye Grove’s certain to keep only getting bigger and bigger.
