From the utterly boring to the pinnacle of athletic achievement, the heat is starting to ramp up in the sports world as we continue to barrel through the Spring months. The Masters gave us one of the more memorable finishes in recent years, playoffs are about to get underway for both the NBA & NHL and baseball is slowly creeping towards acceptable outdoor weather conditions. Life is good if you just want to hop on the couch and surf sports on the screen these days.

With recent transfer portal chaos ensuing and a few expected starters for Ohio declaring their intentions to enter the Spring portal window when it opens, questions are starting to arise over the Bobcats’ defense. Some already decently known names are going to have to fully step in and become key contributors on a team with championship aspirations. kAm(9:=6 :? 2? 2C62 @7 E96 5676?D6 E92E D2H :ED 72:C D92C6 @7 255:E:@?D E@ 8@ 2=@?8 H:E9 E96 FDF2= EC2?D76CD @FE[ ~9:@’D sy (2=<6C :D 2?

This is the more stunning transfer news of the morning. Bit of an odd one with how Taylor was presumed to be a key leader of this year’s team. Linebacker room is bare in Athens at this moment

Thank you Ohio💚 https://t.co/gPzI4FxuCN

Spring portal season starting to bite the Bobcats

I will enter my name into the transfer portal on the 16th. Thank you Ohio 🧱 https://t.co/2jqeqiyDPD

Brutal blow to the Bobcats. Despite dealing with injuries constantly with Ohio, Brown was always a standup person for the program. Going to have to figure something out on the wing with the presumed top-option now gone

Ohio guard AJ Brown has entered the transfer portal with a do not contact tag, @On3sports has learned. He averaged 13.2ppg and 3.2 rebounds this season. https://t.co/uOWMfDRMry https://t.co/at3Yz8cZs5
