JT on recruiting Bradley Roby:
http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/01/28/...kurt-coleman-philly-brown-bradley-roby-andrew
It was an interesting thing. Bradley Roby came to our youth summer camp and he wanted to be a receiver. He was okay but we didn’t offer him. We said, Why don’t you try defense? But he wasn’t interested because he wanted to be a receiver. At the time, Cameron Heyward was on our team and Cam’s mom and Bradley’s mom were best friends. Cam’s mom Charlotte was a little mad at me for not offering Bradley. Bradley commits to Vanderbilt and the fall goes by.
I’ll never forget it, I was on a recruiting trip in Fort Wayne, Indiana and it was a snowstorm I’m getting ready to leave the hotel, and I’ve got my briefcase and my bag, my topcoat and scarf when the phone rings. I think, ‘Great, I’ve got all my hands full, who is this call?’ It was Charlotte. And I was worried Cameron was going to go out early and we were all holding our breath, so I took the call. She said, ‘I don’t care what you’ve heard, Cam’s staying. That boy is going to finish his career with you. But that’s not why I called.’ I didn’t care why she called, I was so happy, Cam’s staying? That’s the best. She said, ‘You need to recruit Bradley. He wants to play defense now. He’s decommitting.’ I said, ‘Well, I’m not going to call him up until I see it on the internet.’
And what do you know, Bradley decommits and he wants to play defense. Then all of the sudden, everybody in the world wanted him, Alabama is in there, LSU is in there, and I’m thinking, Oh boy, he’s from Georgia, how in the world are we going to get him? Enter Charlotte to the rescue. Charlotte says, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got mom all set.’ And the rest is history.

Great read, but...
I can't help feel that this is a classic Tressel line, because that's about the last approach I'd expect him to take.

I really miss those lines. Urban's frankness is appreciated, but the bevy of stupid media questions no longer receive their proper mockery.

Kind of a cool article with videos:
BUCKEYE ON BUCKEYE CRIME
A few former Buckeyes went at it on the field, Sunday, and when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, things get interesting.
.
.
.
Michael Thomas and Bradley Roby spent much of Sunday night matched up against each other, and Roby had the rookie's number.
First, Roby played excellent coverage on Thomas, tipping the ball in the air to force an interception.
The very next drive, he chased Thomas down and knocked the ball out of his hands force a fumble.
Thomas had a less than stellar day, overall. He caught four passes for 40 yards, but he also lost two fumbles and dropped a pass that resulted in an interception. However, he's still the top rookie receiver in the league.
