On top of the 9.9 not being a true 9.9 with NIL, scholarship limits may be going away altogether by the time this class is incoming (replaced by a roster limit).
I have no idea how many scholar ...

I have no clue about the circumstances of his prior commitments and de-commitments. This one seems like one of two things: he's upset with the coaching change to the point of transferring (he tweeted ...

Jesse Mendez vs Andrew Alirez at Beat The Streets
Brian Mathews
June 5, 2024
|
Not a very entertaining match, no, but limiting Alirez to 0 points is incredibly difficult. Neither Bartlett or Nick Lee were able to do anything close to that at OTT.
To be very clear, I was ...

I don't know what Romero is up to, is he coaching anywhere at this point or still planning on competing? He's such a thoughtful guy, and I was thrilled to see his career end the way it did after takin ...

Redshirt everyone?

Ok, I understand that the programs mentioned are better funded, from an NIL perspective, than tOSU. My question is why? If you need doners to get out their checkbooks, why would Ohio State have signif ...

Kaleb Romero vs Bo Jordan

Bo clearly the better wrestler in that matchup unless you're comparing strictly senior year vs. senior year.
That said, Romero is one of my favorite wrestlers of the past 20 years of Buckeye hist ...

Also, this is an entire different can of worms, but the move to roster limits vs. scholarship limits is coming, and it's coming soon. At the same time, football programs are going to start paying pla ...

I’m not a particular fan of any of the schools mentioned, but it sounds like excuses are being made for future shortcomings. Before NIL (during the Ryan era) Ohio State was a perennial top five team ...

Brooks failed PED test at U23
Brian Mathews
May 15, 2024

I know there are many here who consider Taylor an "Ohio" boy, and even know him. I'm in the minority, but I've never really considered him an "Ohio" kid, and I'm not really sure he ...

Both amphetamine and methylphenidate are performance enhancers, full stop.
If this is something you're taking for medical reasons, I find it extremely hard to believe an athlete of Brooks' calibe ...

David Taylor named Oklahoma State Head Coach
Brian Mathews
May 7, 2024

If true, Gilman to Oklahoma State would be funny given the history there.
That said, if he is part of Taylor's staff it would signal the end of his competitive career, and having a coach that kno ...

Cael - coaching tree (shrub)?

I definitely think we'll see more of his athletes join the coaching ranks in coming years.
I don't think this is the start of an exodus at all, though.
The core staff seems content with their li ...
