RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

[BB73]

I have it on good authority that BB73 was an adult by the time of the Lindisfarne sacking.

My first trip to England. Good times.

• Day said Maurice Clarett gives Ohio State "an edge" working with the program behind the scenes. "I have a lot of respect for Maurice and where he's come in his life. This is somebody to me that has helped out other programs. ... I like his mindset. He brings a toughness, a seriousness, a credibility."

Loved seeing Mo on sideline…..didn’t even know he was there, but when I saw the back of his head, I was like “so cool Maurice is on sideline”. Didn’t even need to see his face….

It's been incredible watching Mo totally turn his life around. What a story.

Meant to post this a few weeks ago. UCONN’s Men’s Basketball coach Dan Hurley credits Mo as instrumental in his teams culture and success (back to back National Champs). He’s been serving as an inspirational speaker to them for years.

And a second video about Mo committing to Tress.



What a wild and bizarre journey for this man but I’m so happy for his success.

One wonders how different things would have been if NIL had been around in 2002. He would have had a shit-ton of money tossed at him, and probably would have played for tOSU in 2003 and 2004 without filing the lawsuit against the NFL.

Whether he would’ve had the maturity to deal with that alternate life path back then is anybody’s guess, but it’s good to see where he’s at now.

I don't think we'd need to guess, unfortunately.

Yeah, I don't think that would have ended well.

That said, big time kudos to Day for being a good human being (which I have never doubted or criticized) on this one.

Crazy how life can be. Clarett is personally in my top 3 favorite Buckeyes all time. It’s great seeing him turn his life around and help student athletes in a way that he didn’t get himself. Sure, I know Tressel did everything he could, but there’s something to a guy who comes from a neighborhood similar to your own and closer to your age than your coaches.
