That's particularly true for some of the guys who will see significant playing time. Lathan Ransom is one of those guys. He could have left after last season to go to the NFL. He would have been drafted and he could've started playing professionally. Instead, he decided to come back to try to be a first-round draft pick and to win a national title.

Ransom has been impactful when he's been healthy. He has 146 tackles over the past three years. He's going to be a starter for the Buckeyes again this season and is going to be one of the most impactful players on a defense that is going to be elite.

Cody Simon is someone who is in line to start next season. This would be his best chance to be a starter and it looks like he will be based on the Spring Game. He's gotten a lot of playing time so far but hasn't made too much of a winning impact. Simon wants to change that this season.

Josh Fryar is the guy with the most to prove. The offensive line was not good at all last year. It was a problem that plagued them all year, especially in the run game. Fryar played poorly in the biggest game of the year. It looks like he's going to start at right tackle again. The Buckeyes are counting on him to improve.

All of these guys have a lot to prove. If they can all play to their capabilities, they will finally have the college resume that they all wanted.

Chicago Bears (official thread)

Caleb bad-mouth8ng Lincoln Riley for not handing him the starting job. You know, the guy who turned him into the #1 overall pick. Buckle up, Chicago. There's a storm headed your way.



“I told people before I went there that I was going to start and play and beat him out. I thought I’d beat him out in Spring and he was projected No. 1 and all of that,” Williams said. “He started for six games, and so, I kept preparing.

“Lincoln told me ‘keep going.’ It’s something that I didn’t understand, those two words, I did not understand when he told me, because I wasn’t asking him. I wasn’t coming to him to beg for playing time. I never came to him."

“I was so angry, so frustrated, because that wasn’t what I wanted to hear because I felt like I was the best," Williams continued. "I felt like I could have helped us win all the games, getting more reps, and I didn’t get those reps.
As an athlete that plays at a high enough level to be taken #1 overall in the draft, there's no chance in hell that kid didn't understand "keep going", unless he didn't want to.

Monte Harrison is taking an unconventional path to gridiron glory. The 28-year-old former MLB player has committed to play wide receiver at Arkansas. He will enroll as a freshman walk-on.

Harrison was a two-sport start at Lee's Summit West High School and committed to play football at Nebraska in the summer of 2013, but was also a top prospect entering the 2014 MLB draft. The Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the second round as an outfielder, and he signed on June 14.

As a high school senior, 247 Sports ranked Harrison as a four-star receiver and the 376th-best player in the nation. In his final prep season, he caught 60 passes for 1,007 yards and 13 receiving touchdowns. He also added 12 touchdowns on 198 rushing yards and threw a touchdown pass.

This is a fascinating story. Harrison is one part Bo Jackson, one part Van Wilder.....:lol:

Walter E. “Ted” Carter (OSU President)

Well, it didn't long for the shine to wear off. Hand-picking some no name bitcoin shill to speak at commencement is bad enough -- doing it while sitting on the board of a bitcoin mining company is worse.
