Whitner is ready, and if he decides to pull the trigger, I say thank you for a great 3 years of unselfish dedication to my alma mater. He kept his nose clean, and he deserves nothing but the best, including a shot of financially supporting his family.

Whitner has been second only to Hawk in terms of the best overall player on the Buckeyes this season. He is, or at least should be recognized as, a first team AA.

I really hope he's coming back next season for selfish reasons.

NevadaBuck just said, not too long ago, on the Bucknuts board that while Santonio is gone, Whitner and Youboty will be back. Obviously, could change, but that's the situation according to him right now.

I trust what nevada says, but I am not giving up hope on Santonio yet.
If Whitner and Youboty stay, our defense will not drop off enough to cost us games, IMO.

I totally agree with you here. I think that we will have enough talent to stop the run and with that experience in the secondary it will only help take pressure off the front 7.

I am also not giving up on Holmes, but I think it is just wishful thinking on our part.

That is too big a story not to be picked up by the Dispatch. I think it is a mistake IMO.

you would think that if whitner was out as a result of the injury last week, that something would have been said at the Tuesday presser.

I also think that if it was true that it would have been picked up elsewhere long before appearing in a blurb in a CFN write-up.
