Matt Leinart will not win the Heisman. Notre Dame will finish the season 10-2 with wins over USC, Tennessee and a Bowl opponent. AJ Hawk will finish in the top five in Heisman voting and will win the Butkus Award outright.

Anybody know the story behind Joshua Tatum? Why would tOSU not be in on a linebacker, ranked the #24 player in the country, who is the nephew of Jack Tatum?

Here's a piece that ran in this morning's (7/7th) Washington Post about high school kids and the NBA draft. Oden, Conley, O.J. Mayo and other top-tier recruits are mentioned. FYI. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/06/AR2005070602177.html

There's a whole season of high school football to be played before the February NLOI day. A lot can happen to inform JT and staff about which RB, if any, to go after to compliment Beanie Wells. If a speed-back emerges who has a break-out senior year, likes tOSU and is academically eligible, I...

Texas will be a monster. Iowa will be tough -- even Penn State at Happy Valley. But nothing is tougher than scUM at their place. Not this year, not ever. That's why it's so much fun to beat them.

In a spread offense, with a mobile QB, and a trio of dangerous speed receivers, there should be a whole lot of daylight for a RB to run to. That's a scenario custom-made for an agile, quick-twitch RB -- and one that doesn't require him to take a terrible Eddie-George-style pounding. If...

I'll go with Mike D'Andrea, for no particular reason beyond wishful thinking. The D had good success blitzing LBs late last year and D'Animal has the size, quickness and temperment to become a great blitzer. I would imagine the coaches are working on a bunch of 4 LB packages, to get as many...

Jamario O'Neal will pair up with Youboty most of the season, though others will get a shot at starting, particularly early in the year. But when it's all said and done, it's Jamario.

I hope Chichester committing doesn't dissuade Wesley from joining his brother as a Buckeye. Can you imagine Henton rolling out and having Chichester and Lyons as targets down field? No trouble seeing those guys. The offense would be 9 Buckeyes and 2 Redwoods.

Remember that Josh has high hopes of playing b-ball with Oden, Conley, Cook and company. So muscling up to become a Tight End may not be high on his personal priority list. Adding a little bulk to fill the Power Forward spot that the Thad Five currently lacks is one thing. But becoming a...

Hang the math. Mili's right. He'll play purely wide receiver (a la Randy Moss, T.O. and "Tight End" Tony Gonzalez) and will be an unstoppable weapon in must-have situations ...third and seven, gotta have the first down, jumpball to Josh for 8, first down. I have a feeling he'll be a good...

Excellent job, guys. Thanks for the hard work!

Great point, especially since Greg Paulus should be devoting himself to football, not basketball, anyway. Back to Chichester... I fell in love with Josh when I first learned last year that tOSU was recruiting a 6'8" receiver with legitimate athletic skills. Then I watched him play. Two...

Lawdy, lawdy! Number 36 in the nation and playing right under JT's nose. The young man is a freak of nature. How has he stayed so far under the radar for so long? The Brookhaven "pipeline" has been the polar opposite of the Glenville version lately -- all their best players leave Columbus...

Henton's 19:5 TD to Interception ratio is exceptional. Not many NFLers who can boast accuracy like that. I assume that was a huge plus in JT's eyes -- the old "QBs who don't make mistakes" school of coaching. Go ahead and make your announcement, Antonio. You've got a lot of folks in...

If this really is a commitment, and it's accepted, what does it do to Nate Davis, Hartline and Tim Tebow? Would JT take another QB -- either an 'athlete' (Davis) or as a true QB, with Henton considered an 'athlete' who could play another position?

Somebody send Akeem a weather report. Gaithersburg, MD, Akeem's current hometown, and Columbus, OH are both on I-70, at virtually the same geographic latitude, with pretty near identical weather patterns. I've lived in each place for over 20 years, Akeem, and if you can survive winters in...

I don't have any insider access to answer the question, but I've got a hunch it has a lot to do with the courtship of Maurice Wells. Just think how good Maurice must be for JT to pass on Tyrell Sutton. Scary good, is my guess. Time and change will surely show.

So, Devon, you've been hearing from a lot of schools. Who's on your list? Devon, you can look back on this single quote, when you're old and gray with grandchildren, and say to yourself "That was the smartest thing I ever said." Come down to Columbus and put yourself on the Buckeye...

Amen to that, Mili. Brian Hartline is as determined an athlete as you'll ever see. He simply wills himself to excellence. In his Bucknuts video interview after the state prelims, he talked respectfully-but-confidently about competing for playing time at WR the Fall against Santonio, Teddy...
