    PF Kalen Etzler (Official Thread)

    Starting to look like a B10 post player, from the look test. Haven't seen much of him on the court as of yet. Given the proclivity of our current bigs for foul trouble, am seeing a chance for him to see the floor. Will probably go to a couple of games when in C'bus for Thanksgiving, so maybe...

    Quadrian Banks (Assistant Director of Strength & Conditioning)

    Hopefully his dissertation was on How I made the Buckeyes basketball team into a National Contender via the weight room. Semi-kidding folks,

    2024-2025 Ohio State Men's Basketball

    Was seeing what on B10 channel, and right below was SEC channel, and lo and behold, had the Buckeyes vs Texas A&M. AND, was able to tune in and watch for free! Anyway, game was over in the first ten minutes, only thing left was to play it out. Didn't see much of a positive for the Buckeyes...

    #21 Ohio State @ #23 Texas A&M, Nov. 15 @ 9pm ET, SEC Network

    In my experience, many fouls are caused by reaching, which translates to slow feet. Moving the feet to get between the basket and player with the ball is key. A&M players were moving their feet, and disrupting both the passing lanes and the players trying to dribble around them. They also...

    2025 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Do like where tOSU stands, not so much that the flips center around our positions of need (OL and DL). With several of our verbals still in play (recruiting not shut down), still gonna be a nail biter. Up above was mentioned 'signing day'. Not certain has credence anymore, as a 'commit to...

    2025 FL OL Solomon Thomas (Florida St. Verbal)

    Sounds like things aren't as settled as once thought. Might have to do with Free Shoes U tanking the season. Southern DTs and OLs may be fun to dance with, but the chance of them coming North is mighty slim. Curious how he gained an inch in height, 20 some pounds, and two more stars from...

    2025 AL RB Anthony Rogers has signed his LOI!!!

    One of the announcers opined that #1 might return for another season (probably Butthead), but that seems to contradict what Judson's goal was, to get some yards (for a winning team), and save his body for the league. With Treyveon gone, he would be a clear RB1, and therefore more carries...

    Game Thread Indiana at tOSU, Sat. Nov. 23, 12pm ET, FOX

    Not disagreeing Bestbuck, but do you really want to throw off the entire Saturday football schedule? An hour here and hour there, means that the shows after the game will be interrupted, and the entire network lineup would be thrown into disarray. The big money boys can't sell commercial...

    Game Thread tOSU vs Northwestern at Wrigley, Sat. Nov 16, 12pm ET, BTN

    Kinda feel like there's a chicken-egg thing going on. If an opponent starts out with 8 in the box, selling out to stop the run, Chip should 'break' the 20 scripted plays and call a fly pattern with whomever is on the outside one-on-one. Pretty simple. If opponent is playing a deep 5 in the...

    2025 MI QB Bryce Underwood (ttun Verbal)

    Wowzer. Young must like gumbo quite alot. And/or Meatchicken did something to PO this kid. As usual, have questions. Primary one is does this raise the bar (on a sliding scale of course), the value/cost of the #2/#3 etc QBs this year? Guess we'll see. Maybe Xichigan ought to take those...

    Technology Gone Wild: Rise of the Machines

    OKung certainly didn't learn that in undergrad finance! Good for him. Better cash out while still at a high. Has always seemed like an elaborate Ponzi scheme to me. What do I know? PS, Gronk said "me know that not real money".

    CB Jermaine Mathews, Jr. (Official Thread)

    Good thought, but uncertain how the crystal ball works, foretelling which pass route will cause IGB to get burned and hold....but certainly see and agree on the point. Hopefully this weekend at NW, we'll see some significant minutes for the back-ups, of which Jermaine should benefit. And...

    DT Eddrick Houston (Official Thread)

    Anyone other than me questions the motivation here? Due to my Negative Nellie thought process, wonder if Day & Co was wondering/hearing? that Eddrick was thinking portal after this season? LJ doesn't normally throw true freshmen in (as starters) in later season games if at all. Yes, he did...

    2025 PA DE Zahir Mathis (OSU decommit)

    Silly question. If one ups the NIL ante on a recruit, do the already committed players, compare and then say "hey, you gave X more $ than me, and I'm the more highly rated". Said simply, does the NIL bar go up if a competitive situation between later players cause more NIL to be funneled to...

    2025 OH OL Jake Cook has signed his LOI!!!

    Ha! Ha! Kinda like Dorothy, when one sees behind the curtain, it's not so attractive. Or he secured his scholarship until something better came along. Plus, sounds like the current OL roster of the Buckeyes have made him welcome, taught him some things, and keep his interest up. Anyway, he...

    2025 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

    Seems like this portion of the recruiting cycle is one of utter joy or utter anguish. I'm waiting for the portal to open up, and see if Seaton decides that Deon sold him the sizzle, whereas he coulda come to tOSU and had the steak. Regardless of how it ends up, believe tOSU has done well with...

    HS Swim Team - any experience?

    NJ, you're spot on. Heard the same thing...the boys golf is very cut-throat. We had a kid that played to a +2 at our golf club, and didn't even get a sniff from the local university. Not only gotta be good, but play and win local and regional meets. The field skinnies down significantly when...

    HS Swim Team - any experience?

    Wood, a fyi. 'that's the way it started', but when your kid (or any kid), starts posting some good times in whatever stroke, then the bug kicks in. Your child will get used to getting the medal/ribbon/lollipop/whatever, when they get awarded a first, and the fire to get better kicks in (for...

    Ohio State Men's Tennis (2014/2019/2024 ITA Indoor National Champs, 17 Straight B1G Titles)

    Is it still OK (in the world of NIL-pay for play) to 'win' a money tournament, and place the winnings in a trust for when collegiate eligibility used up? And is this universal among all collegiate sports? Believe Neil won money at the Masters, but do not remember anything being said. Just an...

    2025 MI QB Bryce Underwood (ttun Verbal)

    Well reasoned and well said. Thanks for 'filling in the blanks', as my tired brain does in fact forget details. Still got the concepts correctly, believe. Anyway, took and ran with the $2 million man thing, although kinda thought it might be some newsie offering up clickbait. Too old and...
