He's trying to find his Jacy replacement. He's always been good at getting guards in here and getting fast players but he continues to flop when it comes to getting the Bigs. I am very hopeful that we have a developing big right now in Elsa but I can't have any confidence in her getting better other than her own strength and conditioning due to our history. We have a 6'4 guard which is promising but I haven't seen her on the court and the one's coming in have to be super tough to make a difference.

Big in girls basketball is what you win championships with. If Clark and her brilliance couldn't win it with great guard play, no one will.

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 womens' team this year, and see what the several bigs on our team. Elsa seemed to be advanced as a frosh, let's see the leap she'll make as a sophomore.

Ohio State makes final top three for Big Walnut 2027 star Sydney Mobley​



She was also named Ohio's Ms. Basketball award winner for 2025-26 after leading Big Walnut to the Division II state final four.

According to a report by The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State was the first of Mobley's whopping 42 scholarship offers. And OSU women's basketball coach Kevin McGuff made that offer when Mobley was in the sixth grade!

As a junior, Mobley averaged 20.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists to lead the Golden Eagles (23-5). In her career, Mobley has amassed 1,508 points, 835 rebounds, 228 assists, 186 steals and 145 blocks.

"When you watch a kid work like she's worked … I've had the privilege of knowing her since she was in fourth grade, so I've seen the progression, and to see what it has progressed to, this type of award and achievement is pretty cool," Big Walnut coach Carey Largent told The Dispatch.

Mobley starred at Lewis Center Olentangy as a freshman, when she averaged 17.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals and earned first-team all-state in Division I after helping the Braves to their first district championship in 26 years.

She moved to Big Walnut for her sophomore year and led the Golden Eagles to their first state tournament with 20.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks.

As a junior, Mobley scored a career-high 38 points twice, against 2024-25 Division I state runner-up Cincinnati Princeton and Olentangy, and one-upped that with 42 points in Big Walnut's first district tournament game against Dublin Scioto.

"I just think being more aggressive offensively and knowing when to turn it on when my team needs me to really put the ball in the hole [has been key]," she said. "[Then there are] other times when it's not as necessary and I can be more of a passer.

"I really worked on my conditioning. That's always something I'm working on. Playing without fouling offensively, too. In high school basketball, I get a lot of offensive fouls just from being a bigger player, so I've definitely worked on shooting over people and not always going through people."

It's unclear when Mobley will announce her college choice. Rising seniors can sign letters of intent/scholarship papers in November.
