The Ohio State basketball team was down bad in each of the last two years. They didn't come close to making the NCAA Tournament two years ago. Last season, Jake Diebler almost led them on a miracle run to get into the dance. But now that Chris Holtmann is gone, the program has a new direction.

Will Wade is building something special down in Lake Charles, Louisiana. In fact, it appears that he is going to accomplish something that hasn’t been done in a decade. When looking at KenPom numbers, Will Wade’s success at McNeese is similar to that of Brad Underwood’s Stephen F. Austin teams, who went on a three year span of going 89-14 overall and 53-1 in Southland play. Taking a team from the Southland conference to historical precedence is rare, which is how Underwood ended up parlaying his success with Stephen F. Austin into the Illinois job. But Will Wade, with his high major coaching pedigree, is recruiting as if he’s still coaching in the SEC.

The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

This off-season has been a dramatic one for the Ohio State football coaching staff with the Bill O’Brien era lasting only a few days and then the abrupt spring departure of longtime offensive assistant, Tony Alford. But the chaos continues with pass rush specialist, Brandon Jordan, leaving the Ohio State football program.
His tenure was longer than O’Brien’s but not too much longer as Jordan officially joined the program in February and was present for every spring practice. Expectations were high for him as some thought this could be the heir to the Larry Johnson defensive line throne, but life had...
