Willie is a thick kid. On a side note Shaq has really lost some weight, big kudos to him.

Defensive tidbits
A few quick notes from this morning's interview session with defensive coordinator Jim Heacock:

--- Incoming freshman defensive lineman Willie Mobley will sit out the year with a shoulder injury that Heacock said he may have had from high school.

That means OSU will not have two scholarship players from Minnesota suiting up on the same field....when James Laurinaitis was signed in 2005, it was the first scholarship player from Minnesota to play at Ohio State since Sid Gillman in the 1930s. Mobley was the second.

If it's true this was an existing injury, then that's the second freshman to be victimized by a high-school shoulder injury (offensive tackle Mike Adams had surgery in the spring and hopes to play this season).

Shoot! I think he could have helped. Get better big guy.

Rumor: Willie Mobley

Its out already...so here goes

Willie Mobley sees the writing on the wall and has been sending out transcripts.

Apparently, he has decided to leave...verified by solid folks.

No confirmation beyond that though...beyond the dread social site postings that we will not post.

 

[Merih]

You know that's a shame, the time he's spent here has been marred by injury. But, he seemed like he adjusted to everything well. I wish you luck, Willie, wherever this may take you!

 

[NFBuck]

Damn.

 

[bryanhd20]

Has posted that he is going to ucla.

 

[FairfaxBuckeye]

I wish him the best.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

Still so early...hope it all works out for him.

Bill Greene just texted: "Gone. Straight from him. You can quote me"


Good luck Willie

Mobley to UCLA.
(Direct quote from Mobley)
Best of luck to Willie in UCLA.
An important part of his comments:
"It was just some personal things that made me make this choice just didnt feel real happy i love my teammates and coaches but i needed to do this"
