I never saw Bino on the field last night.....did I just miss him?

Word is, from a reliable source, the plan is to redshirt him.

i really hope he's not regretting his decision to play here. i still think he's got so much potential.

He's apparently behind the move 100%. This gives him potentially two years as a starter as opposed to just one.

that's good news!

I think you may be right. I remember there being talk back in the spring about whoever lost the battle between Sweat and Sabino was going to redshirt.

 

[holybuckeye33]

NFBuck is 100% correct. The plan is to red shirt Sabino and from what I was told he is completely in favor of doing so. I just wish Sweat would have red shirted his freshman year so we'd have them both for two more years after this one.

Bino and Bell together for 2 years? Works for me

Worth noting that the plan is to redshirt him, but this is not an injury situation. If injuries happen and he's needed, he'll probably play. Apparently, right now, the plan is to save him so they have him for two years as a starter, but it's a fluid situation...this is what I'm gathering from those "in the know"...

If i recall correctly, Sabino came in as a 17 year old freshman. I realize that he has always had the physical tools, but another year of maturation will definitely be good from both physical and mental standpoint. Just my imo though...

Someone with knowledge of the situation is telling us that LB Etienne Sabino will redshirt this season. Sabino did not see action last night against Marshall, and our source tells us the move is voluntary on Sabino's part in order to create separation between himself and Brian Rolle at the MIKE spot....

I really hope Bino's redshirt year works out. That would mean that our starters stay healthy and Bino has two years to shine after another year under his belt learning from the coaches and the seniors.

Great news. Kids got a lot of talent. Just needs time to put it together.

 

[Merih]

Good for him; kid has been nothing but an asset to the program in his time here. Has never complained and has always taken responsibility. Once he gets into the swing of things with playing (which, IMO, is all he needs to start clicking) he is going to show why he was rated so high out of high school. He has the physical gifts that you can't teach.

So does that set the stage for a Bino-Sweat-Bell/Klein rotation at linebacker in 2011? We are ridiculously spoiled at this position.

 

[NFBuck]

From what I've been reading, it was actuallly 'Binos' request to RS. He's being mentored by Brian Rolle...doesn't get much better than that. I feel pretty confident in guessing that he'll be a captain before he leaves Columbus...the kid just "gets it".
