Your mobile qb can only hide this weakness to a point. He has to stay healthy all year and playing at a high level just as long; that's alot to ask when you're having to run for your life as much as he does.

It's only a matter of time before someone blind sides him and he's done for the year. I was pretty sure it happened during the michigan game but the tough sob got back up. But those frank clark hits tend to have a cumulative effect on a body. Better hope you close with a few ol studs to keep him upright.

Wilson is still in play, twins are history...I'm not for handing out schollys on the street corner.

I think you guys will be very very happy with Ryan Timmons if he ends up there - unbelievably fast.

I've just joined and doesn't this guy have like 8 user names that he uses to talk to himself?  Everything I've read from this guy is useless drivel.

I chose not to pay because of the trolls running these boards. It lacks professionalism.

1. Stars only mean something when recruiting. There have been plenty of WRs who came in under Tressel (and who will come in under Meyer) who weren't 5-stars and preformed very well -- well enough to make it into the pros. Ironically, Teddy G was a 5-star (albeit as a CB) who hasn't enjoyed much of a career as a WR, but mainly as a return man... and he wasn't just moved out of necessity at WR -- he wasn't physically as adept at playing CB in college as he was in HS. He fit in perfectly as the KR and as a WR. You talk out of your ass (seeing as you said he was mostly a QB a few days ago until several pointed out to you that his scouting ratings weren't as a QB).

2. Ohio State is a run-based program first and foremost. Always has been, and probably always will be. If you are a 'True Buckeye' then you'd know that. This is not the 'throw first and often' program that some others are (see Louisville's pass offense for an example), which is why the top-rated WRs usually go where they can showcase their craft best.
