While reading Lindy's reports, appears that Texas's O will be practically new, and tOSU's D will be practically new. That should be an interesting match-up. Certainly Texas will be returning, much as tOSU will, talented players, albeit inexperienced as well. Have to give the edge to Texas in...

In watching the WNBA, appears (at least to me), that when the announcers talk up the bigs, it's usually a southern school, or Ucon that's mentioned. Brink is an exception, but we've not really seen her play, as sidelined with a leg injury. Looking forward to seeing the new edition of tOSU...

Interesting take. Yeah, believe Xichigan is looking around to see who they can get to advocate for them, and yeah, the B10 Commissioner is supposed to advocate for his teams, however, does he realize that he's actually advocating against the rest of the B10 by trying to minimize the impact on...

The vagaries of golf. Remember that a pro opened with an 82 at the Masters, and the next day shot a 62. All with the same swing and conditions. It's called 'golf'. One's a heartbreaker, and the next day a day to remember. Hope Neal finds some consistency, because he appears to have all the...

Gotta an idea. Let Hartline recruit 30 guys a year (yes, all WRs). Then maybe tOSU wins the mythical recruiting challenge. Then, as they attrit (word?), then bring in OL/DL/CB etc to make a team.....just kidding folks.

Well, if the dog bites as a puppy, will bite as a dog - John Cooper, circa IDK.

As a player, (please do not think I remotely play at this level), do recognize, and see that when these players win, they've been 'hot' for that week. The week prior, or week next, may not be at that level (reference 'the golf swing'), and/or putting eye. Anyway, it is truly difficult to...

Betting that Coach Mick will work on Brock's lower body strength. Probably all of that and upper as well, oh wait. That's the total package. Hopefully we've got a Freddy Bilitnikoph (sp) on our hands. Go Bucks!

Wow! Doesn't sound like golf, but a putting tournament. OK, putting is 50% of the game (par is 72, and two putts per hole = 36 strokes). Can't even dream of 'blowing up' to a 69, and still have it 3 under par...Do wonder about the way that the PGA is 'easing' the way to get one's tour card...

One also would wonder (yeah, guess maybe only me?) which school might include graduate admission (medical, legal, business, ?) as an incentive? A well-paying job for mom and/or dad certainly, especially to the tweener in playing ability might move the needle one way or another. For a player...

In the immortal words of Yogi, 'it ain't over, until it's over'. Again, the question is how much money does it take to overtake the hometown/state advantage? Wonder if tOSU will take a run at this guy, as LJsr might be getting a bit desperate. Also wonder how much pressure Day puts on him to...

Believe back in the day of 85 scholarship limit, was a much bigger issue than today, when shall we say, total # is liquid? Heard that coaches do sit down and pour over the positions, and position coaches talk about who's coming up, who's riding even, and who's not holding up their position, and...

Holy crap! Sounds like tOSU has become Colorado (in football). Certainly do not/cannot believe that tOSU has recruited a bunch of slugs to play baseball. Not our style - in any sport. Guess it's the scarlet colored glasses talking....Does anyone have a link to a story of what's going on with...

And who do we think is Diebs using to bang this young man under the bucket, in order to get him ready for the rigors of the B10? It's gotta be happening, as well as the strength coach working on lower body strength to withstand the pounding a person takes. Still not certain I see the stud...

Interesting thought. And if the recruit hits up the school's staff about his money, does that slide him into the category of being money-hungry, or just looking for a bit of parity. And/or does a school gratuitously call up the recruit who's busted his a** at camps, proving his worth, and say...

Can see the reasoning behind Script's write-up, as well as the year around push to get the best talent in America on your team. Do have a question- are these 'blue chippers' ranked as to their initial/final HS ranking? Or are these blue chippers ranked as to league awards, all star teams, etc...

Also believe we're seeing an aspect of recruiting, where the vultures hang out in the weeds (trees), and see how a football power is shaping up, and then review the commit list, and try to steal/cherry pick/woo away some of the lower rated commits with the offer of more NIL and/or playing time...

Thanks pnuts. gotcha. Was re-reading Lindy's, and in the transfer list (best to worst), Onianwa was not even listed as going from Rice to tOSU. Although our newsies touted him as the second coming. Hopefully he can get the job done, and Day gets our up-and-comers some LT experience as well...

Just a side note here. Getting traded is far better than being released. New spot, new chance to meld with the players there, and mayhaps fill a hole that was there. One of the greatest to ever don the scarlet and gray, Jim Jackson played for more than several teams before he hung up his...

Really can envision that next year tOSU will have their two tackles come up from existing ranks. Meaning that don't have to shop the NIL list. At the very least, see Lowe as a RT, am I correct that the Rice guy has couple of years left? Then making the switch to LT, opening the door for...
