Joseph Barksdale (OL Arizona Cardinals)

[scarletngrey11]

If Barksdale even has a pulse then he will be in the two deep as a true freshman, which means significant playing time because of our defensive line rotation.

He may get that chance too at Ohio State, with us losing our top 3 DT's after this year. If Barksdale comes in and shows he is worthy, I would have no problem seeing him and Denlinger (most likely) start in '07.

...and that is what is told to recruits here..."You will have the CHANCE to start."

ND has been promising a number of guys starting spots...

I just checked the OSU coaches recruiting assignments on Rivals, and Joseph Barksdale is Jim Heacocks only target so far. If thats accurate that shows how much of a priority he is.

Does ND rotate their D-line like OSU? I could see him in a D-line rotation, but a true freshman starter is another story.

The coaches will play those who earn it. If Joe earns it, he plays.. or starts..

*shrug* Weis is a [insert derogatory nickname here], what do you expect?

Give a couple of years, when those same players aren't instant starters Charlie will spin it to be their fault. That they should have been starters but through some fault of their own they let him down and failed.

Another good, in-depth article from Biddle.

Joseph's top schools are, in no particular order, Florida State, Miami, Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Texas, Southern Cal, Oklahoma, and LSU. No indication of a favorite....

I think its a very good sounding update for a Buckeye fan.

He can't...it's a premium (pay) article. I think he said enough...

The update sickened a lot of Michigan fans if you read the headlines of the GBW $ board.

if he goes anywhere but OSU I'll be very shocked. This one has been almost over since October (with a few bumps along the way).

Have a good weekend everyone.
