i always hate to see a kid head to uofm, but i can see why hed go theyve done a great job of producing olinemen. best of luck (minus one nov saturday a year where i wish him only good health). really cant blame a kid. michigan is a great school and a great football program.

If Rerhing could play tackle then why didnt we slide him over last year? I am not optomistic about Big Steve playing anthing but guard. I for one hope that Boone stays for his senior year. Go Bucks

Let's all hope that Boone stays. However, I agree with clev that Rehring might move over to tackle if Boone leaves early. I believe Boone is a better OT, but with him gone, we might be left with no other choice in 2008. If, on the other hand, Boone stays, there will be a question mark at only one tackle spot. I like the chance of three (or four) 5-star linemen shoring up one tackle spot than the same three (or four) backing up both spots.

edit: I agree though that this has nothing to do with Mealer. I was just going with the flow. Back to Mealer then.

...but once we got the full story we learned that Mealer was told early that he was not an option (in April, as jwins stated). You can't be a fall back option when you are not on the board to begin with.

Wadc coming through again with the inside scoop. Greenie material.

Wade always comes through. Not a bad idea to change his nick name to scoopwade though.
Nah that doesn't fit. Wadescoop? scoop? scoopMcWade?
I guess we have to stick with what got us here .

Basketball helps big Wauseon lineman impress Michigan

BLADE SPORTS WRITER


WAUSEON - From the time he was a little boy - if Elliott Mealer could have ever been considered little - the Wauseon senior football standout dreamed of one day becoming an Ohio State Buckeye.

So, when Ohio State's rival - the University of Michigan - first showed recruiting interest in him, Mealer had to rethink his aspirations

The female that perished is said to be Elliot's girlfriend. Terrible news especially around the hollidays. Thoughts and prayers with the Mealers.

What a terrible, terrible tragedy. I can't even fathom what pain Elliot and his family are going through right now.

You and your family are in my prayers, Elliot.
