Buckeyes' Ryan Day jokes about LeBron James playing for Ohio State

Fresh off a national championship, Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day might have an unexpected recruit on his radar -- LeBron James.

While on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Monday, Fallon brought up an old post on X from the Los Angeles Lakers star. James wrote: "Do I have college eligibility if I went to play another sport besides basketball? How does that rule work?"

Fallon then jokingly asked Day that if, hypothetically, James wanted to play for the Buckeyes, would it be possible?

The Ohio State head coach immediately acknowledged James' support for the program, but made it clear that wouldn't give him a pass for playing time.
