    2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

    If it isn't Anthony Thompson, the ceiling for this team is a lot lower. Thompson will be practically unguardable in college, and for the sake of this team long-term he needs to be the go-to guy from Day 1. Here's a projection that has OSU in the top-25 and #7 in the B1G. Personally, I...

    SF William Buford - 4 BTT Title Games, most Buckeye starts (tOSU assistant)

    William sounds really excited about re-joining the program & grateful to get a foothold into coaching. Hope he's able to make the most out of this opportunity...

    SF Anthony Thompson (Official Thread)

    Yes, as of yesterday all players currently committed to the program are on campus. They may well add a couple walk-ons, but the guys who they are counting on like AT are there. Summer workouts start next week.

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    Kentucky has placed the winning bid $$$$$$$ for Milan Momcilovic. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/48943104/former-iowa-state-star-milan-momcilovic-transfers-kentucky

    2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

    On paper, it's a top-25 roster & should be his best team. I don't think it's quite a contender, as in the B1G you have two rivals that are primed to try and go to back-to-back Final Four appearances, plus other programs like USC and IU that are clearly spending more on talent. No doubt it's a...

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    Well the government has a supposedly bipartisan bill in the works to remove repeated transfers, it's going to be 1 "free" transfer only with "salary cap" and "legitimate business purpose" NIL deals only. Players could accurately see the federal government as hostile to their interests & could...

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    I would say that the lucrative nature of college coaching contracts you mentioned absolutely is a motivating factor driving some of these NIL prices sky high. I don't think it's a coincidence that no low major like a Toledo or Akron, whose coaches make relatively little, has a booster ponying up...

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    It is rational in a sense, but irrational in the sense that MOST of the money these kids are getting is "PAY TO WIN" and not really based on marketing or business value. I feel like the way college athletes are paid needs a serious overhaul. There's no way a no name, borderline first round NBA...

    Rick Pitino strikes! $7 MILLION for 1 year for a Baylor transfer who just withdrew from the NBA draft.

    Nah, only about 5,000 of them.

    Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

    One of the last big prizes in the portal is Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic, who shot 49% from 3 for the Cyclones this past season. Kentucky has offered him around $6M for one year, but it is believed Arizona might actually be in the driver's seat...

    PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader)

    Bruce this past season had probably the most efficient & well-rounded offensive performance of any Buckeye in history. If you look at his overall efficiency, producing at all levels & avoidance of negative plays, his performance was unparalleled. Based on career offensive win shares, Bruce is...

    PG Bruce Thornton (All-B1G, All-American, 4X Captain, tOSU all time scoring leader)

    I do believe a team will look at Bruce as a bench guard to help their second unit and draft him in the second round. He's too good to let him go undrafted. His ability to get into the paint and convert as a 6'2" guard was the stuff of legends.

    C'mon, you guys didn't notice he posted the laughing/crying emoji along with that? Obviously a joke.

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    The Cavs won by 31, in spite of shooting 64% from the foul line and missing 16. Wild.

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    It's a real shocker considering the margin and result from Game 6. Pregame analytics said Detroit had a 70% chance of winning this game & they were favored by 4.5. It makes you wonder how did it take 7 games for Cleveland to win this series if they could dominate Detroit like this?

    Cleveland Cavs (2016 NBA Champions)

    This seems like the first game this series that the Cavs have worked together well sharing the ball near the basket.

    Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers)

    With recent stories about LeBron being unhappy with certain aspects of how LA has treated him since Luka has arrived, he's a lock to return to the Lakers even though he is a free agent. You know LeBron's camp wouldn't be negotiating through the media if he wasn't coming back to LA. As much as...
