Good, I'll be really happy to see him on campus. I'm really impressed honestly...he had so much work cut out for him and he got it done to become a Buckeye. I never thought he would make it with the grades he had soph-junior year. Congrats Roderick.

RB Rod Smith not here. Obviously, this is more than a matter of filling and filing a few papers. It likely is an NCAA clearinghouse issue, which cost Jermale Hines some time in his freshman season of 2007. You have to take Jim Tressel at his word, that Smith has met his academic requirements, but now it's just a matter of time -- more time than first thought.

you might not want to make assumptions about situations you don't understand. This is not a kid who just slacked off

Nothing in cinci's post required a mini-callout of Rod & how he has handled responsibilities.
hence why i really dont want to go down that path

And yet you chose to without all of the facts.
its a tough situation, it could have been avoided

AGAIN, your assumption is quite faulty here. This isn't someone who didn't take things seriously and had to scramble at the end.

Kinda like saying "I'm not trying to be a dick" before saying something that makes you a dick. You were rude and went down that path...well done.
