Great quote from Brian Hartline in the Dispatch today

Talking about the chances of his brother coming to OSU and the prospect of catching balls from him, or going to ND or Michigan, Hartline says,

"If he ends up at Michigan, I’ll just have to switch to cornerback," Brian said with a laugh, "and pick him off."

Buckeye Passing Combination Started in Ann Arbor
By John Porentas
​
A passing combination headed to Ohio State wants to thank Lloyd Carr for putting them together.​

​
OSU-bound wide receiver Brian Harline and OSU-bound quarterback quarterback Robby Schoenhoft were on the field together in the Big 33 game last night, and the chemistry between the due was apparent from the start.​
​
Hartline had four receptions, one for a touchdown, for 103 yards. All the catches came on balls from Schoenhoft. Schoenhoft was the game's MVP on offense with 267 yards passing.​

​
That's a lot of productivity, but according to both Hartline and Schoenhoft, the two got to know each other and each other's skills some time ago...at a football camp at Michigan.​

​
"They wanted me to come up there to a camp and see what I could do and we had a great camp," said Hartline.​

​
Schoenhoft confirmed that it was the Michigan camp where the two started building something special.​

​
"With Brian Hartline it definitely started at a Michigan camp we attended together," said Schoenhoft.​

​
"No one could stop us there and I guess we carried that on and have a little special thing going on."​

​
Schoenhoft has all the tools to be a big time quarterback. At 6-6, he is able to see over linemen. His arm is an absolute cannon, but in the Big 33 he also showed the ability to put touch on the ball and hit sprinting receivers in stride. He is a passer, not just a thrower, and according to Hartline, has those other intangibles going for him as well.​

​
"I think he's a lot more mature for his age than a lot of kids," said Harline.​

​
"He hangs in the pocket and doesn't get happy feet. He waits until he is getting dragged down, then he has the strength to throw the ball away. He's smart. He's very good at pre-reads at the line of scrimmage."​

​
Schoenhoft also brings a great demeanor to the huddle. He is definitely a competitor that gets fired up, but you get the feeling he is not a person that gets flustered easily.​

​
Hartline missed his senior season with a broken left leg, but the OSU coaching staff stuck with him and awarded him a scholarship based on his junior season.​

​
"I broke both my tibia and fibula. It (his leg) was basically snapped in half. My foot ended up pointing sideways when it happened," said Hartline of his injury.​

Hartline used his reunion with Schoenhoft in the Big 33 to prove that he was back from that injury.​

​
"I enjoyed the whole week, from the host family to the game. I got robbed of my senior year, so this game, this week meant a whole lot to me. I tried to come in here and make it all it could possibly be and I think I did," said Hartline.​

​
Schoenhoft was happy to see his buddy from the Michigan camp back in action.​

​
"His speed and talent and how he catches the ball is awesome," said Schoenhoft . "It's really unique and special to play with players like that that can make plays for you.​

​
"Speed and hands, he really has them, but what really stands out about him is his tenacity. He just keeps going at it."​

I think BN will not mind this quote, b/c it only makes them look good. From Bill Greene, a good poster over there who has been talking up Hartline all year
He told me he was happy he made me look good,HAHA. Yes, he reads bucknuts message board, against my advice.

Just an interesting tidbit that the kid does read the internet message board stuff...

It is filled with good quotes like clicking with Schoenhoft, raving about Amos, etc. My favorite is that he's looking forward to blowing up MM on ST next year.

WR Brian Hartline: Hartline played in the Big 33 only and stood out. He had four catches for over 100 yards and a touchdown. Hartline has excellent speed and athleticism and very sure hands. He runs precise routes and is interested in getting better. He has good size at between 6-2 and 6-3. He has developed a real rapport with incoming OSU quarterback Robby Schoenhoft. As deep as OSU is at WR, he could play this season, but would probably benefit from a redshirt year in order to get bigger and stronger.

From today's Canton Repository.

Ohio State wide receiver Brian Hartline, who played one half of one game his final season last year at GlenOak because of a broken leg, didn’t disappoint coaches who lobbied to get him on the Ohio Big 33 roster.

Hartline caught one TD pass for 22 yards. A second was called back when officials said he stepped out at the 15.

“They say I stepped out, but a ton of people told me I didn’t,” Hartline said.

Just playing again was a relief. “I felt like I had something to prove,” he said. “I didn’t go into it with a chip on my shoulder. I was just hoping to perform well. I definitely had something to prove.

“It was great getting to play with the guys coming in at Ohio State with me. It was a good experience. It might have been more beneficial practicing with that caliber of guys all week than the actual game.”

Ohio, led by 6-foot-6, 225-pound OSU freshman QB Robby Schoenhoft, won, 34-28. It was Ohio’s third win in a row.

Could Hartline play in ’05?

OSU observers, including some on the coaching staff, took note of what Hartline did in the Big 33 game. More than his hands, his speed and athletic ability, as well as his ability to make people miss, impressed them. There is a chance Hartline could see playing time as a true freshman, but cracking that lineup at wide receiver will be difficult with starters Ted Ginn Jr. and Santonio Holmes back.

“I’m not going to limit myself,” Hartline said. “The coaches can decide what to do with me. I’m hoping to squeeze into the depth chart somewhere and travel. I’m not settling for anything less than what they give me and what I earn.”

If he heard it directly from Hartline's coach, then he would indeed be giving
proper credit.

Either way, that's great news.
