This Week in Twitter is a look at some of the week’s best and most entertaining tweets from Buckeyeland and beyond.
This week was “Vet Week” for the Ohio State men's basketball program and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a bunch of former Buckeyes came back to visit the current squad and some even scrimmaged the 2024-25 team, which led to plenty of good competition, development and some Ohio State Brotherhood moments.
Although this is an annual tradition, it seems like OSU's social team made to a point to post plenty of pictures and videos, something that they didn't do in past years but maybe they did and it's just been too long to remember.
Incredible couple days with our @OhioStateHoops family. A big thank you to all the former players who showed up and mentored our team these last couple days. This is what makes this program so specialit really is a FAMILY. pic.twitter.com/yDTWmcTbaR

Last week, the Los Angeles Chargers signed Praise Olatoke, former club football wide receiver and track and field sprinter at Ohio State. Last Sunday he explained his path to becoming the first Ohio State club football player to ever sign an NFL contract.
A different case for Ohio State to be WRU, the NFL receiver who never played in the Shoe: "To see it all through, I knew people didn't believe me when I told them. You can do what you want to do of course you need to work hard and you need luck. I beat the odds"

Speaking of that, Ryan Day was asked if this upcoming season was "championship or bust." He didn't necessarily answer that question, but said that it's always been "Ohio State against the world."
