247sport: Just In” Ohio State Star Marvin Harrison Jr. Has Signed A Long Term Deal With Ohio….

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Bryson Rodgers showed up at Ohio State as the lowest-rated wide receiver in its 2023 recruiting understanding that his development would take him down a different path than the other three.

He was a Florida native with strong ties to Northeast Ohio eager to develop under Brian Hartline understanding there would be a lot to learn. That didn’t keep him from flashing his upside early. In fall camp he proved to have the most reliable hands in the room and he continued to show progress once bowl practice started.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — It may be time to set aside the notion of position-specific analysis of the Ohio State football defense’s back seven this spring.

Every practice reveals new information on how multiple this defense could be this fall. It’s a byproduct of the depth created by some unexpected fourth years from NFL prospects in the senior class, the continued development of second and third-year players and one All-American-level transfer in Caleb Downs.

Four-star linebacker Tarvos Alford has made two March visits, and he has two more on his schedule ahead of his commitment next Saturday. The Vero Beach (Fla.) High standout has a few official visits scheduled as well, but he said not to read into anything beyond his March 30 commitment.

“It’s my granddad’s birthday and I want to pay tribute to him,” the 6-foot-2, 210-pound Alford said.

Elite quarterback Husan Longstreet has entered the final stretch before a commitment next month. He has a few important stops scheduled.

The four-star from Corona (Calif.) Centennial is set to continue his travels this coming weekend with an unofficial visit to Auburn after recently checking out local suitor UCLA.

Top247 2026 quarterback Will Griffin visited Ohio State Tuesday. The Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit standout had another terrific experience in Columbus.

“Ohio State was awesome,” Griffin told 247Sports.

Women’s college basketball is full of the stars, its men’s counterpart isn’t. Due to the nature of the game, one-and-done exits don’t happen. So, women’s college basketball is a sport that gets old and stays old. But the next few weeks will mark a new chapter for the game which has seen an incredible boost in popularity, thanks in part to the feats of Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark (who beat South Carolina and tangled with LSU in last season’s record-setting Final Four).

Clark kept it up this year, passing Pete Maravich for the most career points scored in NCAA history. She announced in February that she would be leaving Iowa City after this season to put her name in the WNBA draft where she’ll undoubtedly be the No. 1 overall pick to the Indiana Fever. Eyes will soon turn to other stars like LSU’s Angel Reese to see if they will follow Clark’s lead of leaving early.

Although this historic era of women’s college hoops is coming to an end, it doesn’t mean that this is the end of the excitement surrounding the sport. Of course, the exit of Clark and others will leave a massive hole in women’s basketball, but there’s already an exciting crop of young players who are anxiously waiting to fill the void.

These are the members of women’s college basketball’s next wave:
