National handwringing over Guards dumping Naylor for Santana not appearing to age well. Similar to last year in Cleveland, Knucklehead got off to a hot start in Arizona but has quickly fallen off. Santana currently sporting a 0.8 WAR vs 0.4 for Naylor. I understood the Gimenez trade but hated...

Or the chance to play in front of hundreds of fans?

Had the Brew Crew maybe now can have the Funky Bunch

Kicker is an odd thing to me as it seems a position that would translate pretty well from one level to the next but you regularly see highly drafted guys that don't pan out in the NFL and similarly top recruits flame out in the NCAA (I recall a few for OSU in recent years). For this reason I'm...

Wilcher seems the college version of Georges Niang, carrying a bunch of extra lbs and doesn’t look like a hooper but can stroke it

People have been buying into cults for centuries, in some cases you're just not going to be able to overcome that allure.

Ball hit rim twice with multiple seconds left on shot clock, not sure what they were looking at on replay

I think JOK fell due to being a bit of a tweener. With Browns base D expected to be a 4-2-5 that utilizes three safeties a good chunk of the time, he would seem to be an ideal fit in that big safety role.

Still need more but they've actually signed 5 CB's in last three classes (Johnson, Banks, Brown, Cavazos, Watts). Let the new DB coach go out and find an under the radar developmental guy he likes to add to this class (or as you mentioned transfer portal if there's a good fit).

Took a glance at Utah's depth chart and it appears 2 of their top 3 CB's should be back. This is probably the rare instance where the depth chart shouldn't work against OSU.

Perhaps I misread your statement, I thought your insinuation that going to a non elite major program was a dead end. I guess I don't see the big difference in going mid-major->middling P5->elite and just skipping the mid-major step. Perhaps it gives him more time for a learning curve if he...

The reference was to Saban at Michigan State

It is also a chance for him to get experience against the top team in his new conference

I wish he was sticking around but I don't see BC as a bad opportunity. It's not the most fertile recruiting area but there's also no major power directly in the area. It's a fairly weak conference at this point in time with only one top level program. If choosing between a second tier ACC...

Travel time maybe?
