Even though he is a Michigan kid by birth, he is a real stud Buckeye.

He is a real force on defense. The difference from last year to this is simply his conditioning. If that improves like last year to this one, he will be incredible.

Big Hank! :osu:

Can I get a ruling from some other moderators here?

Are we just going to let people go around willy-nilly making on-topic posts in this thread?

Sounds like Big Hank is going to stay for his senior season.

"If I happen to leave after my junior year, it's because I'm predicted to go high. If I'm the first overall top pick, I'll probably go," Hankins said. "But if not, I'll stay with my teammates and enjoy my life at Ohio State."



A potential return to Columbus for Hankins- which would give the Buckeyes 14 returning starters if no other underclassmen declare for the draft- would likely land OSU at or near the top of most preseason polls following its perfect 12-0 season in 2012. That would put the Buckeyes in the drivers seat when it comes to next season's BCS National Championship Game, which would help Hankins accomplish what he set out to do in his college career, before he leaves for the pros.



"My goal when I first got here was to win a national championship," Hankins said. "I really want to win a national championship, so I think my senior year, we'll have a really good chance of winning it."

Link?

If I'm not mistaken, these quotes are from well over a year ago, and, well, things change.

Who was never going to be a top 16 pick.

Nor is Hank right now, according to several draft sites, due to his conditioning issues. His draft stock not near what it was prior to this season. If he was a lock to be a top-5 pick, I'd be th first to tell him to go. But now he may not even be the third DT taken, let alone a top-5 overall pick.

He can take out an insurance policy against injury for his senior year, with the caveat that his policy premium is paid upon his selection in the draft.

I posted the same thing a page ago or so with the link. He said it right before the season. Of course his view may be different now but it really wasn't that long ago he said this. I personally think he leaves but there is a glimmer of hope he returns I think.

A lot if places have him #2 behind Star of course and still going top 10. But games by others during the bowl season could also help them raise their stock over him unfortunately.

With one year of eligibility remaining at Ohio State, Hankins has yet to give any indication as to which way he's leaning when it comes to whether he'll return to school or enter the draft. Having appeared in mock drafts on websites since last spring, the 2012 first-team All-Big Ten selection gave mixed messages when it came to his plans for beyond his junior season.



"If I happen to leave after my junior year, it's because I'm predicted to go high. If I'm the first overall top pick, I'll probably go," Hankins said. "But if not, I'll stay with my teammates and enjoy my life at Ohio State."

sounds like they just threw in the old quote to fill out the article, wording is abit weird but still seems old.

And if only we could remember that statements by 20-year-old young men may represent thoughts that can change at a moment's notice, regardless of how long ago they made them!

Yeesh. He'll stay or he'll go, and there's FA we can do about it.
