Assuming he's the starter this season, what do you think he would need to do to be a one and done guy? Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are heavy favorites to go 1, 2, but there's definitely room for another 1st rounder.

I think he could leave if he gets over 4,000 yards and 40 TDs. I personally think we run the ball more this year and he doesn't get those, but the weapons are there for it to happen.

If you’re drinking and checking the board, what are you sipping on? I’ve currently got a BrewDog Bushwood in my hand after a fun day on the links.

With the predictable mini-meltdown after "losing" KVA, it's important to remember a few things. First, OSU already has two commitments from high 4* LBs, both of whom were heavily recruited by ND.

Second, OSU has commitments from the top 2 players in Indiana, 5* Mylan Graham and Ian Moore. ND offered and obviously wanted both.

Third, OSU has a commitment from the top player in Chicago, 5* Justin Scott, from a private Catholic prep school there. This is an annual high priority territory for ND and Scott was a kid that ND led for and expected to get.

Fourth, OSU has a commitment from Jaylen McClain (a kid I really like), who attends a private Catholic prep school in NJ and has grades good enough to get into Ivy League schools. He's another kid ND expected to land but OSU snagged the week he was supposed to take his official visit there.

ND is having a good year recruiting but they could be having a great year if OSU wasn't absolutely spanking them on a number of guys that ND traditionally targets and signs. If KVA does sign with ND (it's a long time til NSD) then OSU won't win every battle but they've won most of them and hurt ND more than any other school in the country.

Not sure if this has been discussed here before. What are your thoughts on this guy being one of the faces of the program? Pretty much every game he gets air time. Just seems so dated to me. Time to move on. Even see it on those recruit social media posts of the “which fan base going show me the most love?” type, where people respond by posting that guy. Huh? Like that has any appeal to 17 year olds. So many better Buckeye memes.

My wife's work is tangential to the ADs office at a school in the SEC. I understand from her that KVA separately telephoned the ILB coach, OLB coach, and DC to thank them for offering him an opportunity to continue his studies and playing career. She said that the coaches were taken aback because while they had offered, he had not visited (be it OV or unofficial). Indeed, they've had basically nil contact since it's been assumed to be OSU, ND, and USC for KVA. Nevertheless, he made the time to personally contact the school to thank them for their interest in an incredibly respectful and professional manner. She consequently heard that he has made similar calls to other schools...leading her to believe that he is personally contacting EVERY school that offered him (including the Kansas, BC, Oregon State, UNLVs of the world) to thank them for providing him with an opportunity and wish them well on their upcoming season. I hope he signs with us, but, regardless, straight class from a young man who I wish nothing but the best regardless of what uniform he wears next year. IF (and big IF) he picks Ohio State, then this is unbelievable testimony to Laurinaitis and Day. KVA does everything the right way.

It’s decision day and you get a last minute “crystal ball”. My heart says OSU. My head says ND.

and why?

I started playing ball wearing No. 44 because Eric Davis was my favorite player but eventually switched to 21. My brothers always wore the number that corresponded with their date of birth, and since I was born on October 1—and I have a twin sister—I wore that number because there were two of us on the first.

90s music.

We all know what 90s music is, right?

Date night with the wife tonight and the sports bar has the Georgia osu game on….trying like hell to avert my eyes. I’m still pissed!

How many do we loose? Can Chris get us some hel

Subpoena power:

Act establishes the College Athletics Corporation to serve as an NIL clearinghouse in charge of administering the bill, creating specific policy and regulating and certifying NIL agents. The CAC will have a 15-member board of directors, one-third of which must be current athletes or those who played in the previous 10 years. The CAC will have subpoena power.

Summary:

- permits schools to restrict an athlete from entering a deal that is contrary to the school’s code of conduct for moral reasons.

- prohibits compensation to be used for inducements with recruits and retention of current players.

- prohibits schools from representing athletes in NIL ventures or influencing an athlete’s choice of a representative.

- allows schools to prohibit athletes from engaging in NIL ventures that are concurrent with college athletic events or competition.

Athletes must report their NIL contracts to school within seven days of entering them, and recruits must disclose all current and expired NIL contracts to schools before enrollment. NIL contracts will not be subject to open-records laws at the federal and state level, according to the Act. However, the legislation does require schools to submit an annual report of their NIL deals — average and total value of NIL contracts — that will be used for a national public database.

Draft Change:

In a non-NIL provision, the Act permits underclassmen to enter a professional draft and then retain their eligibility if they (1) return to school within seven days of the draft ending and (2) don’t receive compensation from a sports league, team or agent.

Medical Fund:

As for medical care, the Act requires schools making $20 million in athletic revenue to cover athlete medical expenses for at least two years after their final competition. Schools making at least $50 million will have to cover expenses for a four-year period following play. A medical trust fund will cover long-term injuries not covered by schools. Schools making at least $50 million in revenue must contribute annually to the fund.

Gonna be in Anaheim for a week in September. One thing we are looking to do is a Rose Bowl tour. They offer private tours for a flat fee of $275. They will do up to 19 people.

There are at least 3 of us who want to do it.

Would you do this?

They only offer tours the last Friday of the month. We will not be there at that time.

Hey Everyone,
As an Ohio State fan who lives in California, I rarely get a chance to see the Buckeyes play live. Been to a few games at Ohio stadium and I saw them play Cal back in 2014. I am deciding this year between going to Columbus for the Western Kentucky game or risking it hoping they make the Rose Bowl CFP game and going to that. What would you all do?

There were only a couple of recruits to choose from due to the caliber of your commits. Jaylen McClain is my Ohio State sleeper pick... I see him as a high floor player with NFL upside.
