Sign that you're getting older: recruits nowadays "grew up" watching Ted Ginn. First time that happened to me.

He only needs 12 and is averaging just under 2.8 3-pointers per game this season. If he keeps that pace he should be fine to break the record during the regular season. If he does stumble, doesn't the postseason count?

My prediction (for what it's worth): All-SEC and the best freshman season in CFB since Adrian Peterson. This kid looks like the real deal. Glad he stayed away from the Tide and hopefully he helps USC get over the hump.

Ken Gordon reporting via Twitter that he will sign any day. Accompanying story is based on info from Carter's attorney. http://blog.dispatch.com/buckeyesblog/

I'll take 9/1 odds on the #4 all-time rusher.

I think the Plain Dealer article claiming that the case is still under investigation is more recent. Either way, what is currently known seems to be coming from reports given by his lawyer. Not saying they aren't accurate, but his lawyer may be playing with the press a little bit. I think...

Not out of the woods yet. http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2011/02/city_says_footballer_player_ch.html

Carter seemed destined for a redshirt so I feel pretty good saying that this has no effect on the OL depth for this year. Next year's class is already off to a good start in the OL department so I think the loss on the field can be mitigated without any problem. Certainly, the bigger issue is...

HUGE pick up. Play-making LBs were a tremendous need in this class and I can't help but think that this dude might be the best in that category.

Not sure what you're getting at here but first of all, Fred Davis, I would guess, has no regrets about going to USC. He won a NC, the Mackey Award, became a 2nd team All American, and got drafted in the second round. The "Fred Davis's Life Sucked at USC so Andrey's Will Too" argument is not...

That highlight was insane. The first play where he tracks down the running back is something that players his size shouldn't be able to do. The little yellow arrow that points him out before the play is not even needed. Just look for the monster that is the first one off the ball, a foot...

Walter Payton is generous but I will completely agree that he has been critical to the success of the offense. I have been complaining about the RBs' reluctance to bounce it outside over the past few seasons. Boom has had a ton of success doing just that. It's a wonderful thing to have a...

What are the odds he end up with an offer since two TBs are already on board for next year? Any chance that the class ends up with a 3rd TB? Assuming he is on the coaches radar, I would love to see a second Keith Byars come aboard but numbers may dictate that he is on the outside looking in.

The point I was making (and the drives that I listed) were in reference to the second half. Totally agree with your point that they caused their RBs problems. The problem was that it left them vulnerable to the passing attack which Wisconsin used to march down the field and put points on the...

Response to point 1: What about if the DL forced double-teams? If any one of them required two blockers, the Wisconsin O-line wouldn't have been able to get to our LBs as easily. Response to point 2: I haven't had a chance to rewatch the game so I will accept your analysis that there was an...

The answer to this dilemma isn't to move people and leave yourself susceptible to the big play. The answer is to not get beat in the trenches. The greatest scheme in the world will not get you anywhere if you are getting dominated in the box. And for the record, there were times when they...

I'm not saying they need to stop recruiting for spread teams but I can't see how it would hurt them to have the option of changing personnel and getting bigger when they need to. Hankins represents our only form of personnel change to combat the run. They cannot get manhandled in the trenches...

Defense was extremely underwhelming last night. While there were some bright spots, it seems that there just wasn't enough size or depth to counter a team a physical as Wisconsin. I think that this defense is really, really, good at running around, hitting people, and shutting down a spread...

I honestly think the problem with special teams is directly related to our lack of depth of the defensive side of the ball, specifically at the linebacker and safety positions. Our recruiting in the last few years, frankly, has not yielded enough big play, athletic individuals to spill over...

Not sure about Dallas Clark. I think his game is more likely to translate along the lines of Lawrence Vickers - punishing blocker, threat out of the backfield.
