This ranking blends the high school rank plus the final transfer portal rank into one:

Does this mean I will have to pay more to not see ads starting Oct 5?

In your view what should happen in this case?

This might not be interesting to many but it is to me. I think there is a good chance she will be the replacement for Gene when he retires. This only increases that as she goes out and gets more experience. She is very well thought of.

It feels pretty clear to me now: A starting trio of Ja'Had Carter, Lathan Ransom and Sonny Styles with the chance to work in a true nickel (Martinez, Brown, Turner) in passing situations or against tougher slot matchups.

I really enjoy what I have seen with the new podcast. Really great addition by the staff. I was familiar with Doug L I maybe heard him on 92.3 the fan a couple of times in the past, but so far I have been impressed.. Just wanted to show my appreciation for all the content this staff is trying to Bring us.

We'll take a few questions at the end so if you have one try and make it concise and easily answered, haha.

A timeline of everything I was able to get my eyes on on Thursday

Not great. Don't want it to feel too much like Caleb Downs a year ago but the Buckeyes will continue to recruit him as hard as possible. The difference between this battle and last year's is that Florida State isn't Alabama.

The board at safety will be reset and we'll dive into that over the next few days. Buckeyes have watched tape on hundreds of safeties in the last few days but they'll keep doing that as they look for a potential replacement in the class for Bolden. It's a pretty weak safety class around the country.

No one was complaining about NIL when when the the O State beat reporters and insiders said O State had substantially upped their NIL game w/ the accompanying rumors that boosters/collectives were willing to overpay for premium defense recruits. No one was complaining about NIL when when Jeremy Birmingham said O State will not be outgunned on NIL for Bolden. Suddenly, after a perceived NIL recruiting loss, it's "pay for play is unsustainable, the feds need to get involved to regulate NIL." Firstly, as long as they are mega media deals driving the formation of super leagues, inflationary NIL pay to play is absolutely sustainable. Secondly, you do not want the feds involved in regulating NIL. It's not coincidence that has soon as Sankey and Saban started poking their noses into the lobbying efforts that these bills started appearing. Do you really want Tommy Tuberville writing federal NIL legislation? Manchin and Tuberville horse trading w/ Texas politicians? "It just means more" absolutely applies to the politicians, too. Any federal NIL legislation will absolutely favor the SEC. Indeed, the Pass act nukes the Transfer Portal. The SEC powers do not like the TP. They've never liked the prospect of their rosters being raided by other SEC teams. Lastly, it has been a bit befuddling to me why any BIG fan would want a highly regulated NIL. The SEC has the recruits. The BIG has the money and the top media markets. NL is the great equalizer. I know why the SEC wants federal regulation in place. I'm not sure why the BIG does.

Further point. Based on reporting, O State finished out of the top 3 for Bolden. NIL may have been why FSU beat out Georgia. But NIL is not why O State lost. Bolden simply continues a disappointing trend where any June OV recruiting momentum for top out of state recruits dissipates into the latter part of the summer. I know "Ohio State doesn't pay for unofficial visits," but they probably should start. That way they can actually get a much better read on these recruitments as they head down the stretch. If history is a guide, I'm guessing they will start doing that. The "drive 65 in a 55 mile zone w/ no cops" approach is reactive, not proactive. It takes getting lapped or bitch slapped across the face before they decide to step on the pedal. But unlike, say. Michigan or Notre Dame, O State will eventually step on the pedal.

I figure it makes more sense to give this one its own space on here rather than getting lost in the shuffle with other threads.

Couple of you were wondering, so I asked Inniss after practice why he’s wearing No. 11.

As I guessed, Ryan Day said he hadn’t earned the right to rep that digit quite yet. So, it looks like he’s going to have to wait a year for it — but he smiled and said the Double Ones look good on him.

Won’t expansion with West Coast teams result in excessive travel expenses for the minor sports?

This just in, PAC 12 is renaming itself the Six Pack and looks to pick up all the lost Bud Light drinkers………

one of the top available pass rushers in the country

incompetent, most damaging, most racist administration in history. You
on left are getting the full Chinese curse. You have what you wished for. And many are regretting it already.
Only just beginning. Hold on.

Joshua Moore is a name to know in 2025 and OSU is already in pursuit.

Who would you like the starting QB to be this season

Day, Kyle McCord, Devin Brown and Tristan Gebbia will be at the podium today. You can watch that here.
