Duane leaving keeps coming up so where there is smoke you will usually find fire and the lack of a response at Bucknuts is deafening.

I will believe Duane is with Bucknuts this time next week when I see it.

Sad that it could be an economic decision...layoffs and reductions in force are rampant right now. :(

I have followed Duane from the days he put out a paper newsletter that even then put Kurelic to shame. Glad to see he is on his own once again.

Now I can drop my subscription to Ohio High (surely someone will keep me up to speed on girl's Badminton in the state).

I don't know if anybody has been reading Duane's blog, but I've been reading for a few weeks and I don't recall him saying nearly anything positive about the program, coaches, or recruiting especially. To read what he's saying, you'd think JT has OSU winning games at ND's pace.

I like Duane a lot, but he does come off as a bit of a "Negative Nancy."

Tops in Ohio Regardless of Class

According to Duane Long

1. Braxton Miller 6-2 185 QB Huber Heights Wayne (2011)
The best quarterback prospect from Ohio in my lifetime.
2. Steve Miller 6-5 220 DE Canton McKinley (2011)
Better than Ben Martin at the same stage of development. The best news is the
Buckeyes will be hard to beat.
3. Jordan Hicks 6-3 220 LB Lakota West
The most complete linebacker prospect I have ever seen in Ohio.
4. Andrew Norwell 6-8 300 RT Cincinnati Anderson

Miller reminds me a lot of Antonio Henton's scrambling style, and the film that I watched on Henton was from his senior year, with a UGA-bound WR catching his passes. He's definitely a great fit in OSU's system. That said, I would have Hicks, Turner and a few other Senior-to-be's ahead of him.
