CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Workers are put up against the clock as their jobs hang in the balance.

Daundre Frazier told 19 News his work family was torn apart when the Arby’s on Chester Avenue and East 22nd Street in Cleveland was shut down without warning.

“It was Monday morning when we all found out, “ said Frazier. “It’s like we’re scheduled to work we got bills and stuff to pay and it was just a whole bunch of commotion.”

Frazier says when he came into work last Monday his other coworkers were cleaning out the store–saying they didn’t find out about the move until they came in for their shift.

Cashayliana Jones says she was supposed to be starting this week.

“I was really confused like did anyone know about this or did it come out of the blue,” said Jones.

Frazier says even though they didn’t hear about the closure until the 10th they received this letter that was written on the 6th about the closure.

Stating if they stayed and helped clean up the store they could transfer to other Arby’s locations.

But Frazier says that wont work for a lot of his team.

“Everybody who works here lives within 10 minutes, “ said Frazier. “Ubering, Lyfting, and catching the bus are gonna cost more money than they bring in for working.”

Putting people in a bind right before the holidays.

“They didn’t let us know because they didn’t think we would come in and do the cleaning duties they needed us to do, but they never gave us that option,” said Frazier.

“We could have been looking for another job,” said Frazier. That would have been the courtesy for them.”

Our team reached out to Arby’s with these concerns twice, but hasn’t heard back.

“Everybody who works here is like a family, we all treat each other like brothers and sisters,“ said Frazier. “When that happened we were all just like shocked.”

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Four-star 2025 running back Anthony “Turbo” Rogers decommitted from Alabama on Sunday afternoon.

The Buckeyes have long been after his commitment, and it appears they could be on the verge of getting him to flip his pledge from Alabama.

Rogers, at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds, is the No. 141 overall prospect and No. 8 running back in the 247Sports.com composite rankings. He attends Carver High School in Montgomery, Ala.

He was on campus for an official visit for the Purdue game just over a week ago. Rogers will make a decision between Ohio State and Georgia on National Signing Day on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

Ohio State has two running backs already committed in the 2025 class in Isaiah West and Bo Jackson, and Rogers would give them some needed depth after the tandem of Quinshon Judkins and TreVeyon Henderson likely both depart at season’s end.

Heading into next season, that would give the Buckeyes five scholarship running backs barring any transfers. Sam Williams-Dixon and James Peoples are currently freshmen in the running back room.

OSU’s 2025 class as it stands:

Former NBA champion center-turned-analyst Kendrick Perkins is never one to shy away from what he feels. Perkins has made a name for himself in the analyst world due to his ability not to mince words.

At times, what he has said has bit him on the butt, but other times, he has hit the nail right in the coffin.

Perkins is a massive presence with a huge personality in front of the camera, and that remains the case on Twitter/X.

Perkins took to Twitter/X on Friday and praised Philadelphia 76ers rookie guard Jared McCain. The 40-year-old analyst said McCain has been the Sixers’ only bright spot.

Perkins posted, “The only bright spot for the 76ers is they struck gold by drafting Jared McCain.”

McCain was amazing for the 76ers, although they suffered a tough loss to the Orlando Magic on Friday night, 96-86.

Nonetheless, McCain kept them in the game as he recorded a team-high 29 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the field, four assists, and one rebound in 31 minutes of action.

Although this was McCain’s breakout game, he has been solid all season long. He’s averaging 14.8 points per game, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting 47 percent from the field.

Perkins is not entirely wrong about McCain being the only bright spot for the 76ers. They have struggled with injuries and have yet to play a game with their big three, Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey.

Things have not been well for the 76ers. Their current record is 2-10, which puts them 14th in the Eastern Conference and 11 games back from the first spot.

This is not the 76ers team that many of us expected them to be, and it’s due to injuries and their top players not living up to their potential.

Although Embiid played on Friday night, he was not his superstar self. Embiid recorded 20 points on 5-for-15 shooting, eight rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal while being a -9 in the plus/minus category.

The 76ers are among the bottom in many categories, including 30th in points per game (104.5), 27th in averaged score margin (-8.3), 24th in fastbreak points per game, and 25th in points in the paint per game at (43.0).

Things have not materialized the way 76ers fans hoped they would; however, they still have the brilliance of McCain on their side.
