TE Jake Stoneburner (Official Thread)

[Zurp]

There's about a 5% chance if him going pro, even if he were to have a 50-catch, 10 TD season.

What if he returned 3 punts for touchdowns, sacked the opposing quarterbacks 11 times, blocked 21 punts, won the Heisman, kicked Jack Bauer's face in the crotch, dunked a basketball in Mark May's face, and sung "Carmen Ohio" in 5-degree weather while celebrating a national championship? I bet he'd contemplate going pro in that case. But it better be a tear-jerking rendition of "Carmen Ohio".

So 5% chance of going pro and 95% chance of winning American Idol???

You left out blocking a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.

If he has those numbers, I'd say the chances are a tad higher than 5%. I'd add a zero behind that 5.

If Stoneburner has a 50 catch, 10 TD season, he's as good as gone IMO.

Stoney is well on the way of having that and then some. I fail to see how you get your odds of 5%. Unless you have inside information on his choices?

 

[bucknut502]

What's all this talk of 10 TD's? The kid is on pace to score 42 times this season!!! HAHA

No shit, on pace for a HEISMAN!

So when we starting the poll on whether or not he returns next season?

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

How many TEs have declared early and got picked in the early- to mid-first round? No matter what kind of season he has this year, he'll improve his stock by sticking around another year and showing it was no fluke. Even if his staying improves his draft position by only 5-10 spots, the money he'll gain will be well worth it.

 

[neilmj]

Mililani is right, and you have to think next year's team will be better than this one (barring NCAA punishment), so he'll get even more attention next year.

 

[Miller4heisman]

Anyone know what the Div1 record is for TE receiving touchdowns in a season, im guessing about 23ish?

Make that 18... MOST TOUCHDOWN PASSES CAUGHT
BY A TIGHT END
Season
18?Dennis Smith, Utah, 1989 (73 receptions)

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

Stoney can break it, as long as Bosserman stays the starter.

 

[Yertle]

Terry Glenn holds the single season TD receptions record at Ohio State with 17. Not saying that Stoneburner can't get 18, but my vbet would be on something more like 10 for the season. I do agree though, GeorgiaBuck2, with the Baus starting, his chances seem to be better. See? We can agree on things! I'd rep you but I need to spread it around first, apparently.
