Kwazi Gilmer and Xavier Jordan, a pair of 2024 wideouts from Sierra Canyon, are visiting Ohio State today.

Neither have a Buckeyes offer yet but could see at least one of those come on this visit. Jordan is a player that could be a perfect fit in the slot wide receiver spot and I think he's one of those guys that could blow up over the next few months.

Clearly Brian Hartline has options and the momentum with Jeremiah McClellan is real but Jordan is the type of player that could steal a spot—provided he passes the 'interview' on this visit—if other guys want to dilly dally.

@Birm

I'm not sure these 2 questions necessitate their own thread - feel free to lock after you respond. I see the questions and speculation hijack almost every other thread, so I figured I'd ask once and maybe we can all move on. That said, 2 persistent questions I have - and I think all of Buckeye nation - have:

1. Why did Raiola decommit?

2. Why is Michigan the only major program "all-in" on Jadyn Davis?

Thank you

OSU is still on the list for Gage. Update on Rivals:

Fifteen of the top 16 seeds were eliminated prior to the Final Four: All four No. 1 seeds, all four of the No. 2 seeds, all four of the No. 3 seeds and three of the No. 4 seeds. Will that make the Final Four more exciting and interesting or a major let down? Will that hype the ratings?
A lot of elite coaches are left to explain why their team's were eliminated so early.

Austin and I discussed how the first spring scrimmage altered some of our pre-spring thoughts

I did not even realize there was not a new Guardians/Tribe thread. I searched Guardians and only found 2021 threads.

I predicted at least 10-5 over the last 15 games. Let's see how that plays out.

8-1 top of 7th vs chisox. Naylor with a 2R HR

Another rookie got 1st hit and RBI single. Wil Brennan, family went nuts.

Friday Survey:

1. Have you been watching the tournament?

2. Will an extinct animal be successfully cloned in your lifetime?

3. Who is Ohio State’s sack leader next season?

4. Which type of breakfast do you prefer: savory or sweet?

5. How often per week do you fuel up your vehicle?

Not ideal.

Much like Hitler did while rising to power, establishing a state police force is yet another example of fascism happening in real time.

The police state of crony capitalism reminds me of the various communist and socialist regimes who brutalized their people, much like Florida does already by being the third most incarcerated state in the union.

A state which requires you to state political party affiliation before applying for college.

Which attacks the rights of Black people, attacks and demonizes LGBTQ Americans.



Conservatives are not for freedom. End of story.

Having no contact with the outside world and gaining all of my information from this board, I’ve learned the following;

- Ryan Day is in over his head.
- recruiting elite QB’s and WR’s doesn’t matter
- Jim Knowles underperformed in his first year
- Larry Johnson should retire because the game has passed him by
- Tony Alford is a bad coach and a bad recruiter
- Tim Walton is a bad coach and a bad recruiter
- Parker Fleming is a horrible coach, doesn’t recruit and probably parks in handicap zones
- Marvin Harrison is going to USC
- Tre Henderson is wildly overrated
- Michigan owns OSU now, both on the field and in recruiting
- OSU is trending towards Purdue status
- OSU’s NIL operation is on par with FCS schools
- Dylan Raiola wasn’t actually any good to begin with (he’s going to Nebraska - I’m still willing this one into existence)
- The program would be better off if Urban Meyer was still here
- the program would be better off if Jim Tressel was still here
- the players are too complacent and we need to bring in transfers to challenge them
- the cornerbacks would be better if only they turned around and looked for the ball

Did I get everything? If I missed something obvious, please add on to this.

Tony Alford: Raise to $772,500 (one year left on deal)
Keenan Bailey: $400,000 (two years)
Corey Dennis: Raise to $412,000 (one year left on deal)
Perry Eliano: Raise to $515,000 (one year left on deal)
Parker Fleming: New two-year deal at $500,000
Justin Frye: Raise to $1 million (one year left on deal)
Brian Hartline: New three-year deal at $1.6 million
Larry Johnson: New one-year deal $1,166,990
Jim Knowles: Raise to $1,957,000 (two years left)
Tim Walton: New two-year deal at $1 million

Some other notes from Ohio State:
• 30 of 32 NFL teams are expected to have representatives on hand, including 10 GMS and seven head coaches. (Not sure which two teams aren't coming).

• 118 total representatives from NFL organizations are expected.

It should be a madhouse.
