BOOM! Ohio State lands defensive addition ahead of a major recruiting weekend
The beat rolls on as the past few days continues to be some of the busiest times for Ohio State’s program. Changes aplenty to their current roster in the works, the coaching staff found Thursday to be much of the same, but good news led the way seeing the Buckeyes land another player via the […]
Dominant second half propels Ohio State past Oregon to start 3-0 in road conference games
The Ohio State Buckeyes (11-4, 3-2) used a 24-3 run in the second half to take down the Oregon Ducks (8-8, 1-4) 72-62 in a late tip on the West Coast. The Buckeyes were coming off a close loss to the undefeated Nebraska Cornhuskers Monday night, and Oregon was coming off a road loss to […]
Why Ohio State’s linebacker need in the transfer portal matters more than you think
As Ohio State begins reshaping its roster through the transfer portal, one under‑the‑radar but increasingly important area of need has emerged: linebacker. The Buckeyes face significant turnover at a position that has been a defensive anchor the past few seasons, with stars Sonny Styles and Arvell Reese expected to depart for the NFL. With both […]
Jaloni Cambridge, A’ja Wilson, and a dream come true against Illinois
It is not everyday that somebody meets a personal hero. When the rare event does happen, there is a good chance that any sort of planned speech or thank you turns into a bundle of nerves, mumbling, and tears or all three at the same time. For No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard […]
MC&J: Picks against the spread for the Fiesta and Peach bowls
Bowls ATS: 21-22 (15-15 National, 6-7 B1G) Season ATS: 153-136 (80-72 National, 73-64 B1G) Then there were three. With all the non-CFP bowl games in the books, there are only three college football games left to be played. Unfortunately for Ohio State fans, the Buckeyes saw their dreams of winning back-to-back national titles come to […]

Ohio State adds WR in transfer portal, stays busy in high school ranks on Wednesday
Days into the transfer portal now, Ohio State is navigating life where there seems to be updated news every time they blink. With 20-plus players from their roster in the portal, the Buckeyes have plenty of work to do to replace the guys they are losing, and the pace thus far has been slower than […]
Jaloni Cambridge’s 41-point night carries No. 19 Ohio State women past Illinois, 78-69
Wednesday night in Champaign, Illinois, No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball took on the Illinois Fighting Illini in what was billed as a close matchup between two young and talented Big Ten sides. Buckeye point guard Jaloni Cambridge, playing in front of WNBA star A’ja Wilson, who was in attendance, put on her own MVP-like […]
The Buckeyes need to go back to basics on offense
College football has changed significantly over the last two decades. On one level, the postseason evolved from the BCS to the four-team College Football Playoff and, now, a 12-team College Football Playoff. Then, of course, there’s the advent of the transfer portal and NIL. That has changed the sport dramatically. But aside from those two […]
Ohio State women’s basketball visits Illinois in a battle of young, rebuilt programs
Between No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball and Illinois are 26 players, split 11 for the Buckeyes and 15 for the Illini. There are only six total upperclassmen across the two programs. For the past three seasons, both the Scarlet and Gray and the Orange and Blue have had key seniors leading the teams to […]

Off-Script Ohio: Heartbreak and hard lessons after Ohio State’s New Year’s Eve loss
Ohio State’s season came to an abrupt end on New Year’s Eve with a 24–14 loss to Miami, a game that felt over long before the final whistle for some fans. From the opening drive, Miami’s defensive line overwhelmed the Buckeyes, collapsing the pocket and erasing any chance of offensive rhythm. Julian Sayin showed flashes […]
You’re Nuts: Which Ohio State winter sports team will you be focused on?
Ohio State’s football season was eventually going to end. Unfortunately, the 2025 season ended about three weeks earlier than Buckeye Nation would have preferred it to. Last season, Ohio State won the national championship in the middle of January, and with the title celebration coming about a week later, Buckeye fans didn’t have to find […]
3 Players to Watch: Illinois Women’s Basketball
For the past three seasons, Illinois women’s basketball featured a group of role players known throughout the Big Ten. Forward Kendall Bostic played a traditional big role inside and averaged a double-double. Guards Makira Cook, Adalia McKenzie, and especially Genesis Bryant patrolled the perimeter, found open teammates, and created big offensive moments. After the 2024-25 […]
3 non-negotiables Ohio State must take care of to get back to the top in 2026
It took me longer than a lot of Buckeye fans to get on the “Ohio State is going to repeat because almost everyone else is mediocre” train this season, not because I disagreed that most teams in the pool were mediocre this year (aside from Indiana, I still feel that to be true), but because […]
3 home run portal targets who could reshape Ohio State’s roster
The transfer portal has become less about patching holes and more about taking calculated swings that can alter a program’s trajectory. Ohio State has never been shy about recruiting at an elite level, but in the modern era, championship margins are often decided by a handful of portal additions who fit both scheme and culture. […]

Silver Bullets Podcast: Cotton Bowl rewind and Buckeyes in the transfer portal
What began as a promising 2025 Ohio State football season and morphed into an apparent historic one came crashing to earth with back-to-back losses and a suddently completely overmatched offensive line. Julian Sayin spent his second straight game spending more time looking at guys trying to sack him than his options downfield. The Buckeyes started […]
Ohio State lands transfer tight end, set to host big-time defensive end
Ohio State’s 2025-26 season has come to a close after an unfortunate short-lived run in the College Football Playoffs. The Buckeyes couldn’t get things going offensively, and lost to Miami following a round one bye. With the early end to the season, Ohio State’s offseason has an early beginning. This extra time could be crucial […]
Moments that mattered: Ohio State flinches in final minutes, falls to No. 10 Nebraska, 72-69
Three days after leaving New Jersey with their second Big Ten win of the season, the Ohio State men’s basketball team (10-4, 2-2) returned home to face No. 10 Nebraska (15-0, 4-0). The Cornhuskers entered Monday night’s game at 14-0 — the best start in program history, and were looking to avenge last year’s 116-114 […]
The trajectory of Ohio State women’s basketball in March Madness
It is halfway through the 2025-26 season for No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball, so it is time to start talking postseason. Specifically, March Madness and the Buckeyes’ place in the annual 68-team tournament. Head coach Kevin McGuff’s team has to make it like any other Division I school, meaning a Big Ten Tournament championship […]
Chance Gray adapts Sunday and makes the difference for Ohio State women over Rutgers
A lot is placed on the shoulders of No. 19 Ohio State women’s basketball point guard Jaloni Cambridge. The guard carries the Buckeyes on her shoulders metaphorically, but on offense, it’s literal. In 15 games, Cambridge led Ohio State in scoring in 10 of the Buckeyes’ 15 games, and Sunday was no different. The point […]
