Podcast appearances and mentions of devin royal

The Ohio State men's basketball team saw its 2024-25 season come to a disappointing end with two straight losses, and a 2-5 record in their final seven games to narrowly miss the NCAA Tournament. Now, Jake Diebler is working to not only keep the core of his team together, with Bruce Thornton, John Mobley, and Devin Royal all planning to return, and Christoph Tilly and Gabe Cupps added in the Transfer Portal, what else do the Buckeyes need to do in order to get back to the Big Dance next season?Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more on this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast. 

The Ohio State men's basketball team overcame an early deficit to take a second-half lead at Nebraska, but ended up falling, 79-71 to the Huskers in Lincoln. However, that loss was not nearly as big of a concern as an ankle injury suffered by standout sophomore Devin Royal. Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that loss, the injury, and what it could mean for Ohio State moving forward.

Tito and DeVier are with you for this Wednesday Edition of the show! We are getting closer and closer to the start of the College Football Playoff and Ohio State's matchup with Tennessee. The guys start the show with the changes made at The Shoe for the game. The Buckeyes have been all over the transfer portal with guys coming in and guys leaving, we give you an update on the portal. We hear from Ryan Day on the Buckeyes preparation for the matchup with Tennessee this Saturday. The Ohio State football team is getting a lot of action in the betting world. College Football analysts ranked the top 50 players in the CFP, and we take a look at what Ohio State players made the list, and where they fell in the ranking. The Ohio State basketball team bounced back with a win last night over Valparaiso and Devin Royal was AWESOME. And more!

Ohio State men’s basketball beat reporter Adam Jardy recaps the latest 95-73 victory over the Valparaiso Crusaders on the latest episode of the BuckeyeXtra basketball podcast. During this edition we talk about player Devin Royal’s historic game and what we learned from this Buckeye win. Finally, we go over questions and thoughts from the Dispatch text subscribers.

While Ohio State's primary focus right now is on competing for a national championship in 2024, it's also working toward building its roster for the future.With high school football camps and official visits ongoing at Ohio State this month, the Buckeyes are in the heart of their efforts to build their 2025 recruiting class. Those efforts have gone quite well so far as Ohio State currently has the top-ranked recruiting class in the country, receiving another boost to that No. 1 ranking on Sunday when No. 2 safety Faheem Delane committed to the Buckeyes.Those efforts may be bolstered by the fact that Ohio State projects to have plenty of opportunities available for new players to compete for playing time next year. While the Buckeyes are set to have a veteran-heavy starting lineup this year, most of their 2024 starters will be on their way to the NFL in 2025, leaving many doors open for new starters and contributors to emerge a year from now.While that makes this year a “natty or bust” season for the Buckeyes, Ohio State still projects to have a roster loaded with talent next year. The long-term outlook is certainly stronger at some positions than it is at others, though.With that in mind, we take a position-by-position look at how Ohio State's roster could stack up at each position in 2025 – not to look past what could be a special season in 2024, but to put into perspective the combination of player development, recruiting and potential transfer additions Ohio State will be relying on to build another championship-caliber roster a year from now.Following that conversation, we also spend a few minutes at the end of the show discussing Andy's top takeaways from Jake Diebler's first press conference of the summer, starting with how Diebler's upfront approach to championship expectations differs from his predecessor Chris Holtmann.The rundown of where you can hear us talk about what in this week's show:0:00 Intro0:17 Ohio State's 2025 class is the best in the country right now2:31 Ohio State will likely have to replace most of its starters after this year9:22 Long-term QB outlook looks great on paper, but roster retention questions will remain12:43 Ohio State will likely need to add another transfer RB next year16:46 Wide receiver might have the best long-term outlook of any position on OSU's roster20:56 Multiple tight ends playing big roles this year would benefit 2025 Buckeyes23:39 Offensive line could be an even bigger question mark entering next year than this year32:29 Defensive line set up for success in 2025 despite four senior starters37:39 OSU well-stocked at linebacker if C.J. Hicks, Sonny Styles stay for senior seasons43:21 Cornerback future looks very bright despite possibly losing three starters after this year45:38 Strong safety a question mark for 2025, but it's nice to know Caleb Downs will be back48:02 Jake Diebler's embrace of championship expectations is important52:29 Diebler is turning the page from Chris Holtmann, which he needed to55:36 Devin Royal, Juni Mobley could be keys to OSU's 3-point shooting58:48 OSU still expected to add frontcourt depth with final scholarship

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following a 76-52 win over Merrimack, we spoke to Roddy Gayle, Evan Mahaffey, and head coach Chris Holtmann about what worked and what did not. Gayle was asked about the multiple dunks he threw down, but also made a point to say that Holtmann and Jake Diebler “put him in positions where he was allowed to fail,” which has been crucially important in his development. Mahaffey talked about how Ohio State wanted to attack Merrimack's zone, which included his ability to sit in the middle and open up the floor more for others. Holtmann spoke afterwards, and was exceedingly complimentary of Gayle, Devin Royal, and Felix Okpara, who started the game but only played 12 minutes. Holtmann said Merrimack's big man made it hard on Okpara, and that Zed Key was “just the better option tonight.” Sign up with MyBookie using our link to receive your welcome bonus: https://mybookie.website/Grant23 Connect with Connor: Twitter: @lemons_connor Theme music provided by www.bensound.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

Throughout the year, Land-Grant Podcast Network will be bringing you uncut audio primarily from Ohio State press conferences, but also from individual interview sessions. Following Ohio State's 78-70 win over Dayton on Sunday night during a charity exhibition match, Chris Holtmann, Jamison Battle, Bruce Thornton, and Devin Royal spoke to the media about the game, their thoughts about the team moving forward, and mental health. Holtmann spoke first and repeated over and over that the result of today's game was the least important aspect of the event. He told his team that, “everything coming out of today would be positive, regardless of how this ends.” It took him a while to get through some questions on mental health, taking some time to hold his composure before speaking on something that's important to him and the Ohio State program. Afterward, Battle, Royal, and Thornton spoke to the media about the results of the game, what can be improved on, and their thoughts on mental health, and what they do to keep everything right in their mind during a grueling basketball season.

Timmy & DeVier hosting tonight. Devin Royal is named this year's Mr. Basketball in Ohio. How much will we see the "Jack" position this fall? What Up Holmes with Dave Holmes. #Buckeyes.

Ohio State's men's basketball season came to an end last week, but not before the Buckeyes offered some hope for the future.Ohio State's run to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals couldn't save the Buckeyes from missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in six years and finishing with a losing record for the first time in 19 years, but it did give Ohio State some much-needed positive energy entering the offseason and gave Buckeye fans reason to be excited about Bruce Thornton, Roddy Gayle Jr. and Felix Okpara going into their sophomore seasons.As such, we spend a little bit of time talking about the season that just ended but most of our time looking ahead to next season as we focus primarily on Ohio State men's basketball on this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays.With the NCAA Tournament set to begin without Ohio State on Thursday, we also make our predictions for who will make this year's Final Four and the biggest upsets we expect to see in the first weekend of March Madness. We also preview the first weekend of NCAA Tournament action for Ohio State women's basketball and Ohio State women's hockey's trip to the Frozen Four. Finally, we discuss what we heard from Ohio State's wide receivers and linebackers during the most recent spring football interviews.The full rundown for this week's show: 0:34: Ohio State had a bad year, but Big Ten Tournament run gives them something to feel good about 3:32: Freshman class growth is the biggest reason why Chris Holtmann will be back for another year 5:37: Bruce Thornton will be Ohio State's most important player entering next season 7:46: Roddy Gayle Jr. and Felix Okpara needed time to grow, but their talent is clear to see now 13:00: Justice Sueing and Sean McNeil stepped up their game to finish their collegiate careers strong 15:30: Ohio State must bottle up what it did the last few weeks and play like that all season next year 19:50: Is just making the NCAA Tournament next season enough for Chris Holtmann to keep his job? 24:25: Making the Sweet 16 and contending for a Big Ten title should still be expectations 25:45: Sueing, McNeil and Isaac Likekele weren't superstars, but they're still notable departures 26:36: It doesn't seem likely Brice Sensabaugh will be back for another year 29:28: Assuming Sensabaugh leaves, Ohio State will need new scorers to emerge outside the sophomores 31:30: Will a lineup with both Felix Okpara and Zed Key work? We're skeptical 34:47: Who can replace Sensabaugh and Sueing: Tanner Holden? Eugene Brown? Freshmen? Transfers? 36:59: Devin Royal's physicality as a scorer should enable him to make an impact quickly 37:49: Taison Chatman is the top incoming freshman offensively, but will need to get physically stronger 38:39: Scotty Middleton should make an immediate impact defensively, but has to develop offensively 40:06: Louisville's Kamari Lands, Towson's Nick Timberlake among early transfer targets 43:50: Much like this season, Ohio State will need its freshmen to make an immediate impact next year 45:49: Our Final Four predictions 47:41: Our upset picks for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament 51:04: A look at Ohio State women's basketball's NCAA Tournament draw 54:39: Women's hockey can defend its national title this weekend, but challenging matchups await 58:26: You can breathe a sigh of relief if you were worried about Marvin Harrison Jr. returning punts 59:00: Xavier Johnson is already showing why he could be one of Ohio State's top leaders this year 1:00:48: Ryan Day is still spending most of his time with the offense 1:02:45: James Laurinaitis is already making a big impression on Ohio State's linebackers 1:03:40: Reid Carrico, C.J.

Two children were pulled from a partially frozen lake in Kennesaw after falling into the water, MDJ news partner Fox 5 reported. Authorities say one of two children has died, and the other is expected to survice. Cobb County fire said the children were playing on the lake when they fell into the water. A large police presence responded to the lake, located off Ellison Lakes Drive near Cobb Parkway, Fox 5 reported. Shortly before 5 p.m., residents reported seeing about a half-dozen children playing near the south side of the lake just off a trail that runs beside it. Alex Pollard says he was bringing groceries in when he noticed the children. Moments later, neighbors would report hearing screams. The two children had fallen through the ice. Pollard yelled for his roommate to call 911. The named and ages of the children were not released. Three members of Cobb Fire were also treated at the scene for cold exposure that they suffered when they entered the freezing water to try and rescue the second victim. Fire Department spokesperson Nick Danz urged people not to go out on frozen bodies of water, as it may be hard to know the thickness and sturdiness of the ice. A Marietta man was arrested Monday for allegedly molesting two children. Tyquan Kent, 38, is charged with 11 counts of child molestation, two counts of rape and one count of furnishing obscene materials to minors, all felonies. He is accused of molesting and raping an 8-year-old and 10-year-old sometime between August and December. A warrant for Kent's arrest said the alleged crimes took place at a Motel 6 on South Cobb Drive and a Red Roof Inn on Corporate Plaza Parkway in Smyrna. According to the warrant, a 7-year-old child was present when Kent allegedly molested the two children at the Red Roof Inn, resulting in an additional child molestation charge. Kent is being held at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond, according to jail records. In 2010, when Foxes and Fossils played their first gig, there were about 50 people in the audience. Most of crowd was there for pizza. A cohort of family members, church colleagues and friends helped swell the cheering section. And yet, said videographer Terry Heinlein, this group of supporters, filling up the seats at Bella's pizza parlor in Smyrna, was probably the largest bunch of fans that ever came to a Foxes and Fossils show just to see the band. Heinlein added that at all the other Foxes and Fossils gigs, at Twisted Taco and the Crafty Hog and Keswik Park, there were people there to see the band, but plenty of other people were there just for the barbecue. Vocalist Maggie Adams, one of the “Foxes,” was 16 years old at the time of the Bella's gig. She agreed: “We were mostly background music for pizza and tacos.” The “Foxes” were the young female members of the band, including Adams, Sammie Purcell and Chase Truron. They all grew up and went to college. The “Fossils,” including Sammie's father Tim Purcell, the founder of the band, recognized that without the Foxes, they weren't going to draw a crowd. The band essentially broke up. They existed only on YouTube, where Tim posted videos of their old performances. Quietly, those videos began to gain an audience. More than a year after they stopped performing, Foxes and Fossils started tasting fame and began earning revenue from their internet views and merchandise. Twelve years and 83 million YouTube views later, Foxes and Fossils is staging its first ticketed concert as a headliner. The most famous unknown cover band from Smyrna is charging $100 a seat for two shows, the first was last night and the second is tonight. That's what Billy Strings is charging at State Farm Arena. The venue is the Legendary Ford Hall, a 500-capacity facility in Hapeville that began as a car dealership and has served as a church. Both shows are almost sold out. Tickets can be purchased at Rebelity dot com. Pope got its second win over Kennesaw Mountain in a little over a week, defeating its county rival 55-47 in the first round of the Hounds Holiday Hoop Classic at Pope High School on Wednesday. The Greyhounds defeated the Mustangs 66-58 in the championship game of the Alpharetta-Pope Holiday Classic on Dec. 20. After a close first half, Pope pulled away from Kennesaw Mountain) in the third quarter to take control of the game and advance to the semifinals. Ryan Luttrell scored 20 points, including six 3-pointers, while Devin Royal added 10 points and Zach Bleshoy – who scored 36 points in the first game against Kennesaw Mountain – contributed nine points, despite playing with an injured back, to lead Pope. Elijah Ford led the Mustangs with 19 points, while Hayden Hall added 10. Kennesaw Mountain held the early advantage with a 14-12 lead at the end of the first quarter and increased its advantage to 17-12 at the beginning of the second on a 3-pointer by Hall with 7:08 remaining. However, Pope caught fire as it proceeded to go on a 13-3 run – fueled by four 3-pointers, including back-to-back 3s by Colby West – to take a 25-20 lead and the Greyhounds ended the first half ahead 27-25. Pope continued to stretch its advantage in the third quarter as it made three more 3-pointers – two of them by Luttrell – to finish the period with a 41-31 lead. The Greyhounds led by as much as 12 points – 47-35 with 4:43 remaining in the game. President Joe Biden has signed legislation aimed at protecting the Chattahoochee River. The first-of-its-kind measure authorizes $90 million in federal funds for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to work with local partners on water projects throughout the Chattahoochee River system. Biden signed the bill last week as part of congressional reauthorization of the Water Resources and Development Act. According to the Georgia River Network, the Chattahoochee supplies 70% of metro Atlanta's drinking water. The river is also a key source of water for farmers and an important source of power generation through hydroelectric dams. However, more than 1,000 miles of waterway within the Chattahoochee watershed do not meet water quality standards, creating potential health risks to humans and wildlife. In 2019, the National Park Service reported visitors to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area added more than $200 million to the metro region's economy, supporting more than 2,000 local jobs.        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're officially one month away from Ohio State's first football game of the 2022 season and one day away from the start of preseason camp.We'll have the chance to watch the Buckeyes practice – well, at least a little bit of practice – on both Thursday and Friday as Ohio State holds its first two practices of preseason camp, and we're excited to see them up close, in person and on the field again. What will we be watching and listening for as camp begins? We start this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays by talking about which players and position battles we'll have our eyes on.As much excitement as there is surrounding the upcoming Ohio State football season as the Buckeyes' preparation for the games ahead ramps up, many Buckeye fans are also feeling angst about the recent misses and decommitments Ohio State has suffered on the recruiting trail. In the second segment of this week's podcast (beginning at the 21-minute mark), Eleven Warriors recruiting analyst Garrick Hodge joins us to discuss what's going on with Ohio State recruiting, what needs to happen for the Buckeyes to overcome those losses and where he believes this year's class will ultimately stack up in the final rankings. (Note: This segment of the podcast was recorded before Ty Lockwood officially announced his flip to Alabama on Tuesday.)It's also a big week for Ohio State men's basketball, which is headed to the Bahamas on Thursday for a five-day trip in which it will play a pair of exhibition games against national teams from Puerto Rico and Egypt. In the final segment of this week's RPW (beginning at the 45-minute mark), we share our takeaways from watching the Buckeyes practice and talking to Chris Holtmann on Monday, and Griffin explains why he believes this could be a great week for Ohio State recruiting as four-star small forwards Devin Royal and Scotty Middleton are set to announce their commitments.

This is a nice episode for multiple reasons. It's mostly good news with football and basketball recruiting. We dive into the recent commits for football, and a couple misses. We pivot to basketball, and discuss Xavier Booker and Devin Royal.

Ohio State's first official media availability of the preseason will be held one week from today when Ryan Day, C.J. Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ronnie Hickman will meet with reporters at Big Ten Media Days.With that in mind, we start today's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays – after Dan gloats for a bit about winning last week's draft – by looking ahead to next week's Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis, where representatives from all 14 Big Ten teams will meet with the media between Tuesday and Wednesday.We discuss why Stroud, Smith-Njigba and Hickman are the right choices to represent Ohio State at media days (though we would have also loved to see Dawand Jones back in his hometown) and what we could hear from each of them and Day. Expansion will undoubtedly be the dominant storyline next week, particularly during Kevin Warren's press conference on Tuesday, but we're also expecting plenty of Ohio State/Michigan talk – with the near-certainty that both fan bases will get riled up over something a representative from the other team says.(Programming note: Since Ohio State's day at Big Ten Media Days will be on Wednesday, next week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays – despite the name – will be published on Thursday, allowing us to talk about everything we learned in Indianapolis.)Around the halfway mark of the show (29:13), we shift our attention to the latest developments in Ohio State's recruiting for the 2023 class. Even though the Buckeyes still have the No. 1-ranked class in the country, some fans have expressed concerns after a few notable misses for Ohio State in recent days. Is there really anything to be concerned about with a class that still leads the nation? We take stock of what the Buckeyes have done well in the class and where they still have work to do.With last week's news that Ohio State will hold both a black-out and a scarlet-out this season, we also spend some time sharing our thoughts on Ohio State's alternate uniforms. Should the Buckeyes try some more creative uniform concepts, or should they simply stick with tradition? Should Ohio State bring back the gray sleeves permanently, or wear them for College Football Playoff games only? We discuss all of that (starting at 44:38).In the final 15 minutes of the show (beginning at 51:55), we turn our attention to basketball and get Griffin's thoughts on which current and former Ohio State players have stood out in the Kingdom League, what the Buckeyes could get out of their upcoming trip to the Bahamas and where the Buckeyes stand with top targets Scotty Middleton and Devin Royal.Finally, we show our youth with our answers to a fun listener question: Which Ohio State football and basketball players that you didn't get to watch live do you most wish you could have?
