Is it too early to talk 2028 recruiting? OSU getting first on-campus visit from Cincinnati's Kameron Mercer.

Looks like a pretty dynamic duo with Johnson & Thompson.

I'd take Brody's line-up for the core of the Buckeyes right now. Didn't realize how nicely the 2026 team was lining up. Hopefully Diebs can put all the parts together this year, paving the way for next.

Disappointing news today about Johnson. That means Diebler has got to add another recruit from the HS ranks for 2026, right? I would think any point guard who's got an open mind would be drawn to the situation at OSU post-Bruce, as you've got a clear starting opening even for a freshman.

Know I'm mostly a Debbie Downer, but for some strange reason, believe that Marcus will come back into the fold. No knowledge, just a gut hunch. Or maybe I'm optomistic?

Holy cow I'm shocked AT ended up choosing us over Indy. That a huge win.

Wow love that we're in on all of these Centers

Jardy said Alex Smith will have his signing day ceremony Friday. Anthony Thompson Tuesday. AJ also said he doesnt get the sense OSU is done adding another freshman to the 26 class.
