Jaloni Cambridge: Ohio State women’s basketball 2026-27 player preview

The Buckeyes success goes through Jaloni Cambridge, and this year she is making those around her better too. The one stat that follows Ohio State women’s basketball is that they made it to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament for three straight years, only to lose on home court. After consecutive tough ends to Buckeye seasons, media and voters have been hesitant to shower the Scarlet and Gray with any preseason praise.

Ohio State flips verbal pledge from four-star running back

Boom! Ohio State finally has a running back committed to its 2027 class. Just weeks before National Signing Day and after missing out on David Gabriel George s, the Buckeyes were able to flip four-star running back Daylon Gordon . Gordon had been committed to Texas State since June of this year, but the pull of the Scarlet and Gray was too much. Gordon visited Columbus for the Oregon game this past weekend. He decommitted from the Bobcats earlier today before giving his verbal pledge to Ohio State. While it may not seem like that big a deal to steal a commit from Texas State, Gordan has plenty of upside. He is ranked as the No. 22 running back according to 247Sports composite rankings. Standing at 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, the four-star prospect is not the prototypical OSU running back. However, don't be misled by his small stature. Gordon is an explosive back who does his best work in space and excels at catching the ball out of the backfield. 247Sports actually thinks a little more highly of Gordon than the other recruiting services, ranking him as the No. 11 running back in the country.

Shenandoah, Meadowbrook standouts lead effort at state cross country

OBETZ − Some legends take years to build; others spend four years cementing their status in stone. Shenandoah senior Ida Estadt carved her name even deeper in the area high school cross country record books on Saturday, Nov. 7 to highlight a standout area contingent at the historic 98th annual boys and 49th annual girls OHSAA State Cross Country Championships at Fortress Obetz & Memorial Park. Estadt led a powerhouse local group of four total All-Ohio recipients by shattering her own school record with a blistering time of 18:14.5 to capture third place overall in the girls Division IV race, capping a decorated career with her third state podium finish in four years. Setting a new standard for the Colts Estadt wasn't the only local runner rewriting record books on the OHSAA big stage. Meadowbrook sophomore Vincent Campbell delivered an strong performance in the boys Division III action, recording a time of 15:10.9 to place fifth overall. Campbell's blazing time set a new school record, and secured the best state finish in Meadowbrook history, and made him the Colts' first All-Ohio recipient since 1992.

“Doing the Worst Job of his Entire Career”: Barstool Podcaster Rips Into Ryan Day After Disappointing Oregon Defeat

The Ohio State Buckeyes are receiving a lot of flak after their massive 41-28 upset loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 10 on Saturday. The defeat to Oregon, combined with a Week 9 loss to the USC Trojans, is the first time since 2011 that the Buckeyes have lost two consecutive regular-season games, which is indicative of the season they’ve had thus far. Reacting to Ohio State’s underwhelming 6-3 overall record 10 weeks into the 2026 season, Barstool Sports analyst Brandon Walker on Monday’s ‘Mostly Sports’ show expressed his disappointment with the Buckeyes’ performances and placed much of the blame on head coach Ryan Day. Walker further argued that even a potential playoff appearance would not change his assessment of the Buckeyes’ struggles this season. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career. And well, I am not like Dave Portnoy doing the whole, bouncing up and down saying that Ryan Day is terrible; this is pretty inexcusable,” Walker said. “Even if they go to playoffs, this isn’t a very good Ohio State team,” he said. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career” -Brandon Walker https://t.co/PQaOm0q6DQ — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 9,
