#OhioState is suddenly shorthanded in practice. Why did the #Buckeyes bring four guys to Big Ten media day? What did Bruce Thornton say that had John Mobley cracking up? Here's my first of many stories from today's event: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

It’s been nearly a year since a hard foul sent him sprawling. After injury hampered his offseason, #OhioState's Colin White is trying to make up for lost time with the #Buckeyes. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Time to start breaking it all down. Spoke with pretty much the entire #OhioState roster, then we had a 40-minute press conference with Jake Diebler. Tons of content to come, #Buckeyes fans.

We're one week into the preseason for the #OhioState #Buckeyes men's basketball team. We all have a pretty good guess at who will start this year, but here are four position battles that I think are especially worth watching in the coming weeks: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Hope you've all been well. Back at it after a few days off for knee surgery. #OhioState #Buckeyes men's basketball media day is Wednesday. Lots to do in the next few days. What do you want to learn about this week?

Will talk about this on my next podcast, which will be recorded Wednesday, but I am more and more impressed with Ohio State's frontcourt each time I see the Buckeyes.

A player I have been hearing encouraging things about as the #OhioState #Buckeyes prepare for the start of fall practice: Ivan Njegovan, who has evidently taken big steps this offseason.

He'll get a statue outside of Value City Arena. Now, will #OhioState #Buckeyes legend Jerry Lucas get to dot the 'i' at a football game? That's up to the band director. Story: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Scoop: On Nov. 14 at 4 p.m., #OhioState will unveil a statue of all-time #Buckeyes great Jerry Lucas outside Value City Arena: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I was lucky enough to get to see Oasis twice this summer, once on the opening night in Cardiff and then Sunday night in New Jersey with my 11-year-old son. What an unbelievable experience each show was. So much communal joy. Oasis rules, man.

#OhioState has 14 players on campus as fall semester has gotten underway. Here's one thought on all 14 #Buckeyes as we inch closer to the start of practice: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Gannett is running an "Ultimate Fan" competition, but they should shut it down because I've got the biggest fan right here. On top of being a great guy, Mike Knapp could easily open his own #OhioState #Buckeyes hoops museum. Get to know him: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

What kind of player did #OhioState get in Wright State transfer Brandon Noel? I talked with his former WSU coach, #Buckeyes coach Jake Diebler and Noel for a look at who he is and where he's still growing: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState's Gabe Cupps and his parents surprised his sister with a new car this weekend. Here's how the #Buckeyes guard was able to help make it happen, a look at the bond between Gabe and his sister, Ally, and the lessons learned from parents Betsy and Brook: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState will host top-30 2027 recruit LJ Smith this weekend, and it turns out that the North Carolina guard has some ties to Ohio. New #Buckeyes recruiting story: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I'll have a story soon on 2027 recruit Geren Holmes, who recently earned an #OhioState scholarship offer. Native Ohioan.

Podcast! I’m back from vacation so let’s talk about the last month of #OhioState hoops, some #Buckeyes recruiting and, at the end, that Oasis concert I got to witness: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

I remember being 17 years old and going to Ozzfest 2001 at Blossom to see, among others, the reunited Black Sabbath. Ozzy seemed otherworldly, like someone who wasn't on the same earthly plane as the rest of us. So glad I got to see that show. Sad day today.

Oh, hello again everybody. I'm back from the greatest concert I'll assuredly ever attend and then a family trip to the beach. I trust you've all been well. Oasis rules.

What does #OhioState athletic director Ross Bjork think of where the #Buckeyes men's basketball program is and? What does he see as the expectations for men's hoops, and what did he make of Jake Diebler's first year as head coach? Here's what Bjork told me: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in two weeks. I see Oasis in

Podcast! Here’s what it was like watching the #OhioState #Buckeyes participate in “Vet Week” camp today: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

#OhioState’s Malaki Branham during the #Buckeyes’ annual “Vet Week” camp.

Today is a @dawestheband.bsky.social kind of day. I don't know why. I don't make these rules. It just is.

It was a full-circle trip to #OhioState team camp last week for Alex Smith. Last year, he was hoping to land a #Buckeyes offer. Now he's committed and will play for a coach who was recruiting him hard to Indiana. Here's what it was like, and what Smith told me: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Every time I see Haliburton on the court, I think about being in that arena in Tulsa and Keyshawn Woods and Kaleb Wesson just refusing to let their team lose. Heck of a fun day on the job.

He's emerged as the star of this year's NBA playoffs, but before he got to the Indiana Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton played one NCAA Tournament game at Iowa State. #OhioState won behind Kaleb Wesson, Keyshawn Woods and Musa Jallow. New #Buckeyes story: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

News: #OhioState has offered a scholarship to 2027 guard Josh Tyson from West Chester (Ohio) Lakota West. Tyson and his teammates are playing at #Buckeyes team camp today: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState freshman Amare Bynum arrived on campus poised for a big freshman year for the #Buckeyes. Here’s what his senior year was like at Link Academy and what this year could look like: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

I've seen the report that Dorian Jones is requesting his release from #OhioState and reopening his recruitment. He was not going to qualify academically to play for the #Buckeyes this year and would have had to be released even to play prep ball. This is an academic situation for Jones.

#OhioState has offered a scholarship to Jason Singleton (@J_sing2026), a 2026 combo guard and son of a member of the #Buckeyes 1999 Final Four team. www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Here's what you need to know about Mathieu Grujicic, #OhioState's new European commitment. Four MVPs in the last year, high-level teammates, prolific scoring and more: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState has landed a commitment from Mathieu Grujicic, a German-French wing who will add depth to the position for the #Buckeyes: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState has landed a commitment from Myles Herro, a guard who will join the #Buckeyes for the 2025-26 season: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState's roster remains a bit of a work in progress, but the first team meeting is Tuesday. I'd imagine one or two players who will be on campus this fall won't be with the #Buckeyes yet.

If you're having a hard time keeping track of who's coming, who's going and how many spots the #OhioState #Buckeyes men's basketball team still has for 2025-26, may I point you to my updated roster tracker? www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Hey hoops fans, some roster movement for #OhioState today as incoming freshman Dorian Jones announces he won't be enrolling this season. I'd expect some new #Buckeyes roster additions to be announced soon, but this news has been in the works for a while: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

Hey everyone, I'm helping out with our Memorial Tournament coverage the next four days, so if you're at Muirfield Village, say hi!

#nowreading #backtoworktomorrow

I would say #nowreading but I read it so fast I’m already done.

Officially a Buckeye: #OhioState to award honorary degree to LeBron James. Details on the #Buckeyes honor for James: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState coach Jake Diebler has finalized his coaching staff, adding former Indiana assistant Brian Walsh to replace Talor Battle. I caught up with the new #Buckeyes coach to talk about the journey, the fit in Columbus and rejoining a team with Gabe Cupps: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

#OhioState fans, how do you feel about the roster after the addition of Josh Ojianwuna?

News: #OhioState has landed a commitment from Baylor transfer Josh Ojianwuna. I spoke with Ojianwuna about why the #Buckeyes were the right fit for him, his relationships with a current and a former Buckeye and where he is in his recovery from knee surgery: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

It's been more than a decade since Will Buford last suited up for #OhioState, but last weekend the prolific #Buckeyes scorer earned a new accomplishment: his degree. New story on a first-generation graduate, why he got his degree and what mattered most about it all: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

(also, hello again, Bluesky. sorry it's been a minute.)

#OhioState men's basketball coach Jake Diebler offered some offseason updates on the #Buckeyes to fans via the program's social media platforms. Here's what Diebler had to say about the roster, the portal, the Schott and more: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

So this is really neat. #OhioState walk-on and New Albany native Braylen Nash and his family, including OU product Jason Preston, will be on the Family Feud next month. Here's how it happened and what Nash's #Buckeyes teammates have been pestering him about: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...

There are pieces to add, but #OhioState coach Jake Diebler has a pretty good feel for his #Buckeyes roster with the portal now closed. I caught up with Diebler to talk roster retention, portal pursuits, his vacant assistant coaching spot, transfer signings and more: www.dispatch.com/story/sports...
