Ohio State gaining popularity with some of 2017's biggest recruits
Dan Hessler via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land

Coveted recruits in the 2017 class are starting to figure out their top schools, and Ohio State is right in the mix.
At this point in the recruiting season, high school juniors have already visited multiple schools and have established relationships with college football coaches. Ohio State only has room for approximately seven more players from the 2017 class, but they are included among several of the nation's top recruits' favorite schools. Because of this, Urban Meyer and the Buckeye coaching staff will be able to be picky when it comes to filling those remaining spots.
Wade high on Buckeyes, releasing list today
Four-star DB recruit Lamont Wade has been on the Buckeyes' radar for some time now. Twice already this year, Buckeye coaches have traveled to Clairton, PA, to visit the No. 5 DB of the 2017 class, according to 247Sports Composite rankings. Wade also made a trip to Columbus back in January.
Monday, Wade published an update to his RecruitDiaries, a partnership of USA Today HSS, that allows recruits to write about their side of the recruitment process. In his most recent update, he was not shy in showing his interest in Ohio State, and it would appear as though the Buckeyes are the current favorite to land his services.
Wade talked about how even though he has only visited Ohio State five times, it always feels familiar to him and he always enjoys his time in Columbus. He spoke on his most recent visit back in January and his relationship with Meyer, calling him a "really cool person, and a hard-nosed coach."
At the end of his update, the 5'9, 185-pounder said he would be releasing his list of top schools Tuesday and that he can see himself playing in The 'Shoe, but also a number of different schools.
Wade is also high on home-state schools Pitt and Penn State. Look for Meyer and assistant coach Kerry Coombs to remain active in his recruitment, as he is one of the best defensive players of the class. Ohio State already has one top-5 DB commit in Shaun Wade, but the Buckeyes are looking to add at least one more in this class after losing a majority of their secondary to the NFL Draft this year.
Williams includes OSU in top 5
Four-star DB Jamyest Williams is another top-50 recruit to name Ohio State in their list of top schools. Williams was at Florida State over the weekend attending the school's Junior Day, and the Seminoles will be a legitimate threat to Ohio State in Williams' recruitment.
During the event, Williams found time to speak with Wayne McGahee III of NoleDigest, Scout.com's Florida State affiliate. In the interview he mentioned Florida State as one of his top five schools, along with Ohio State, Clemson, Tennessee and Georgia.
Earlier in his recruitment, Williams had Clemson as his favorite school, making the Tigers and Seminoles the likely favorites to land his services. The 5'9, 170-lb. DB last visited the Buckeyes last November, but Ohio State should still be looked at as a contender. Coach Kerry Coombs has been active in Williams' recruitment and last year, Williams told Cleveland.com that Coombs was one of the few coaches who helped him develop in last year's Sound Mind Sound Body camp in Detroit, Michigan.
Multiple WRs put Buckeyes on list
The Buckeyes are also a popular school among some of the best WRs of the 2017 recruiting class. Five-star WRs Trevon Grimes and Donovan Peoples-Jones have the Buckeyes on their list of top schools and so does four-star WR Jerry Jeudy.
Jeudy was another recruit to attend Florida State's junior day over the weekend and is looked at as one of the top receivers in this year's class, no matter where you look. He has an offer list that includes the majority of all top-tier programs across the nation including Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, Michigan, USC, Auburn, and the list goes on.
Alabama is looked at as the favorite to land Jeudy's services, but over the weekend he shared his list with TomahawkNation, SBNation's Florida State affiliate, and Ohio State was included. It would seemingly take a lot of work for Meyer and the Buckeyes to sway Jeudy, and with the high interest the Buckeyes have with other top WR's in the class, it would be a surprise to see him choose to play in Columbus.

Ohio State baseball surrenders lead late, loses to Coastal Carolina in extra innings
Ben Martens via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The Buckeyes gave up the tying run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and ultimately lost to the Chanticleers, 3-2, in the tenth.
Ohio State emerged from its long weekend at the Caravelle Resort Baseball at the Beach tournament with a 2-2 record after falling at the hands of No. 22 Coastal Carolina on Monday by a score of 3-2 in 10 innings.
The Buckeyes, now 5-2-1 on the young season, couldn't hold onto a one-run lead with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and the Chanticleers took advantage in extra innings.
Down to its last out in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on first, Coastal's Zach Remillard scorched a liner off the 20-foot wall in dead center field for a game-tying triple off of sophomore Austin Woodby.
In extra innings, Buckeye righty Seth Kinker came out of the bullpen to relieve Woodby and gave up the winning run. A leadoff bloop single by Cameron Pearcey and a pair of walks set up Anthony Marks to be the hero, and he delivered with a liner that fell in front of left fielder Ronnie Dawson to end the game.
Ohio State got some two out production in the top of the third off Coastal starter Cole Schaefer. Jacob Bosiokovic worked a walk and advanced to second on Dawson's second single of the afternoon. Senior co-captain Nick Sergakis then slapped a single to the opposite field to score Bosiokovic and give the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead, but Dawson was gunned down trying to take third to end the inning. Sergakis has now hit safely in every game thus far in 2016.
In the bottom of the inning, the Chanticleers tied things up against Ohio State starter Ryan Feltner. Leadoff man Marks drew a walk with one out and stole second on a 3-2 pitch from the Buckeyes' right-handed freshman that struck out shortstop Michael Paez, a preseason All-American according to several publications. But junior G.K. Young delivered an RBI single back up the middle to score Marks.
Feltner equipped himself well in his second career start. Despite having runners on base in each inning, the former Walsh Jesuit High School star tossed five innings of one-run ball, scattering four hits, walking three, and striking out six.
In the sixth, Sergakis doubled off the wall in right field with one out and moved to third on a single by fellow co-captain Jalen Washington. With the go-ahead run just 90 feet away, Zach Ratcliff lifted a fly ball into right-center for the sacrifice and a 2-1 lead.
Schaefer was pulled after six innings, having given up just the two runs on six hits, walking two and striking out two. The Coastal bullpen did its job from there, shutting the Ohio State bats down.
Woodby worked around trouble in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, preserving the lead, but just couldn't close things out.
Kinker took the loss, his first of the season.
Ohio State will be headed back down south on Friday to kick off the Snowbird Classic against Seton Hall.

Urban Meyer has high praise for Buckeyes at the NFL Combine

"The good news is we have 14 guys at the Combine. The bad news is that we have 14 guys at the Combine."
-Urban Meyer, via Andrew Gribble, ClevelandBrowns.com
With numerous former Buckeyes working out in Indianapolis during the 2016 NFL Combine, Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer recognizes the dichotomy of having so many future NFL players, but the reality that these players will not be returning to the Buckeyes come the fall. Ohio State had 14 players invited to the combine this year--more than any other school. Headlining the group is junior defensive end Joey Bosa, who is considered the top pass rusher in this year’s draft class and a likely top-five pick.
Meyer discussed several of these players with the NFL Network over the weekend in regards to their future NFL potential. About Bosa, Meyer reiterated his previous comments that Bosa is "as good as I’ve ever been around," noting in particular Bosa’s way of "getting skinny" and getting to the quarterback.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott who, like Bosa, is foregoing his senior season at Ohio State, is widely considered the best running back in this year’s draft, owing to his outstanding blocking ability, but questions remained about Elliott’s controversial comments following the Buckeyes’ loss to Michigan State in November. While acknowledging that it was not the place to make those comments. Meyer said that people have to "move on" and focus on the more important aspects of Elliott. Elliott has had more than 1,800 rushing yards in each of the last two seasons, and 41 touchdowns during the same period.
Meyer also brought high praise for quarterback-turned-receiver Braxton Miller, stating that teams should have patience with Miller while he continues to learn the nuances of the wide receiver position. Miller is projected as high as a late first round pick due to his speed and athleticism, but could fall to day two of the draft.

After a heartbreaking, triple-overtime loss to Michigan State--which followed a similarly heartbreaking overtime loss to Minnesota--the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes fell to the two-seed in the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament scheduled to begin Wednesday. Maryland, ranked No. 5 nationally, earned the top-seed in the conference tournament with the second loss by the Buckeyes. The Terrapins, who earned the outright regular season title this year for the second year in a row, won the Big Ten tournament last year as well, defeating Ohio State in the championship game. This year has been a different story, however, as Ohio State defeated Maryland in both regular season meetings.
Ohio State has gone 23-6 on the season overall, including 15-3 in conference. Besides the last two games, the team’s only other conference loss was an 86-82 score against Northwestern in Evanston. The Buckeyes’ first tournament game is scheduled for Friday evening, after earning first and second round byes in the tournament, and they will play either Nebraska (No. 7) or Rutgers (No. 10).
Rounding out the top four seeds in the tournament are Michigan State (No. 3) and Indiana (No. 2). Ohio State won its only game versus Indiana this season, and split the series with Michigan State.
"We have a lot of talent on this team. Once we put it all together and once we play our best, I think we’ll be unstoppable."

The No. 18 Ohio State Buckeyes women’s lacrosse team scored an important win over Duquesne Sunday, defeating the Dukes by a score of 16-6 in the Horseshoe. The win comes just a week after the team suffered their first loss of their young season at Stanford. Despite Duquesne running out to an early 1-0 lead, Ohio State scored seven unanswered goals and were up 9-3 at the break. The Buckeyes continued their dominance in the second half for the 10-goal victory. Senior attackman Cian Dabrowski led the Buckeyes in scoring with five goals on the day. Ohio State also did an outstanding job on draw control, going 19-5 overall, and only losing a single draw in the first half. Dabrowski won six draws, while sophomore midfielder Molly Wood added five draw controls and two goals.
The defense, which had struggled in the first three games of the season, was much improved against Duquesne. Despite only giving up eight goals in their opening game against Detroit, the Buckeyes gave up 15 and 18 goals in their last two meetings against Cal and Stanford. Senior goalie Katie Frederick recorded a season-high nine saves against Duquesne, and the defense allowed just six goals--the fewest all season.
With the win, the Buckeyes move to 3-1 on the season, and are set to face No. 15 Johns Hopkins this weekend.

Big Ten basketball's as good as ever, even with a down Ohio State
Grant Freking via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The Big Ten will still flex its NCAA Tournament muscle even though one of the conference's heavyweights is experiencing a down year.
In spite of its thrilling/shocking win over Iowa on Sunday, barring a Hoosiers-esque run in the Big Ten Tournament next week in Indianapolis, Ohio State (19-11, 11-6 Big Ten) will probably not be reaching the NCAA Tournament for the eighth consecutive season, a streak that presently ranks as the seventh-longest stretch of Big Dance qualification in Division I hoops. (Kansas tops that list with 26 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. Dr. Naismith would be so proud.)
At this point, Ohio State's two central shortcomings on its NCAA Tournament resume are well-known: three bad non-conference losses to Texas-Arlington, Louisiana Tech, and Memphis, and the fact that only two of the Buckeyes' 10 Big Ten wins (Michigan, Iowa) have come against teams with winning records in conference play. Michigan isn't even a top 50 RPI team at the moment.
But will a bout of mediocrity from one of its traditional powers prevent the Big Ten from sending its typical quota of teams to the NCAA Tournament? Nope.
Before I explain that blunt answer, here is how the Big Ten has stacked up in the five NCAA Tournaments since March Madness expanded to 68 teams in the 2010-11 season in terms of...
*The number teams to reach the NCAA Tournament.
*The average seed of those tournament teams.
*The number of teams to reach the Sweet 16 and Final Four.
*Per KenPom.com, the average ranking and Pythagorean rating of each tournament team.

A few conclusions we can draw over this five-season stretch:
*The 2010-11 Buckeyes possessed a Pythagorean rating of .9663, the highest mark for a Big Ten team in this sample, and were the lone Big Ten team to be ranked No. 1 in KenPom's final rankings.
*The 2011-12 campaign was the strongest showing for the Big Ten, posting the lowest average seed and KenPom ranking, tying for the most number of squads to reach the Sweet 16, and finishing second in average Pythagorean rating.
*With Ohio State and Michigan State, the 2011-12 season had the No. 3 and No. 4 teams in overall Pythagorean rating from the Big Ten teams in this sample. The 2012-13 season contained the No. 5 through No. 8 Pythagorean teams (Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State).
*Not only did the 2014-15 season have the lowest Pythagorean rating of the five-year sample, but the second-best team in Pythagorean rating (Michigan State) ranked as the No. 17 overall Big Ten squad in that category. (Of course, the Spartans made the Final Four as a No. 7 seed). Also, last season Purdue (.7795) and Indiana (.7742) had the two lowest Pythagorean rankings of the 33 individual Big Ten teams to reach the tournament since 2010-11.
Through Sunday's games, five teams Big Ten teams are considered NCAA Tournament locks: Indiana, Michigan State, Maryland, Iowa, and Purdue. A sixth, Wisconsin (19-10, 11-5), is probably off of the bubble following its triumph over Michigan on Sunday, a win that gave the Badgers their 10th victory in their last 11 outings, a strong stretch that is washing away Wisconsin's poor showing in non-conference play. Also, Michigan (20-10, 10-7) is generally considered 'in' at the moment, but would do well to beat Iowa next weekend or win a few games in the Big Ten Tournament.
Here is how the Big Ten is shaping up this season:
Season
NCAA Teams
Average Seed*
Average KenPom rank
Average Pyth. rating
2015-16

5.0
20.9
.8794
*The average seed was compiled by averaging out each team's respective seed as predicted by the latest mock brackets submitted Sunday night by SB Nation, ESPN, and CBS.
The latest batch of KenPom rankings have Michigan State (.9430 Pythagorean rating) as the No. 1 team in the country and the top team in the conference by a wide margin over No. 14 Iowa (.8968). Indiana (15), Purdue (19), and Maryland (21) are also ranked in KenPom's top 25.
So, with a week remaining in the regular season, the Big Ten -- in spite of Ohio State's forthcoming date with the NIT -- is appearing a bit stronger than it has over the past two seasons, standing to outperform the 2013-14 and 2014-15 campaigns in five of six calculable categories.

NFL Draft 2016 prospect: Tyvis Powell
Alexis Chassen via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here
The Buckeyes' vocal defensive leader is already making people smile at the next level.
One of Buckeye Nation's favorite Silver Bullet is headed to the NFL. Safety Tyvis Powell -- and self-proclaimed father to Cardale Jones -- is fresh off a good showing at the Senior Bowl, and has his second chance to make an impression on scouts.
Never one to let his personality stay in the shadows, Powell was a vocal leader at the Senior Bowl, often lobbying to head coach Jason Garrett of the Dallas Cowboys. Despite only being a three-year player, he earned his degree early, making him eligible to compete in the game reserved for seniors.
Powell recorded 195 tackles (112 solo), nine passes defended and eight interceptions in his three-year career with Ohio State; he also became known as the player to come through in the clutch for the Buckeyes, most notably picking off a Hail Mary attempt by Alabama in the 2014 College Football Playoffs. He went on to earn Defensive MVP honors in the College Football Playoff Championship Game against Oregon, and honorable mention All-Big Ten honors from coaches and media for his 2015 season.
Measurements
Height: 6'3
Weight: 211
Arms: 32 3/4"
Hands: 9 1/2"
Interviews
Due to the tight schedule of the NFL Combine, Powell wasn't able to meet with media. Defensive backs and safeties all were slotted to talk to the press on Saturday, the last day of availability, so everyone had to miss his typically informative and fun interview.
Workouts
Bench press: 15
40-yard dash: First attempt: 4.46 unofficial; Second run: 4.58 unofficial
Vertical jump: TBA
Broad jump: TBA
20-yard shuttle run: TBA
Here's Powell running his first 40-yard dash:

Ahead of the combine, Powell was projected to go in the Round 3 or 4 of the NFL Draft with some experts citing concerns about his physicality and consistency. While he has some work to do, his reputation for making big plays when it matters most will help his cause with a lot of teams.
