Brian is looking forward to being a team leader and says there is no chance he leaves for the NFL.

Although I hope this ends up being true, you really can't put any weight to this comment at this point in time.

I'm sure Gonzo would have said the same thing last year at this time.

So Why?

Nice Article by the way on Robo.

So what was the knock on Robo coming out of High School? Why was he merely a two star?

Sounds to me like he's working on his strength and speed.

Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 190 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.52 seconds

If Anthony Gonzalez can declare early anyone can, IMO. Sure he says that now but what if he goes for 1,200 yd and 10 td's and gets first round buzz? I'm a bit of a cynic.

Luckily he's got Hartline and Small to keep him from that 1,200 mark

Robo will be our No1 receiver next year so unless someone else develops a great deal ie. Dukes. He and Hartline will get most of the receptions. How much Small contributes will be seen. I was not happy with his production after he took that big hit and haven't heard anything as to why.

A - Smaller program HS football Division 3.
B - Signaled early a strong interest in other programs (Penn State, Miami-FL), so not many offers coming from others. Offer sheets build interest / ratings.
C - More hype that year for Mario Manningham
D - You know Scout derates Ohio Prospects don't you?

That's true. The chances of putting up huge numbers at wide reciever under Tressel will be slim since he likes to spread the ball around and get younger guys involved. Still, he could have big games against the UW schools, scUM, and in the bowl and he'll hear more and more people whispering in his ear to leave.

 

[Taosman]

And he should be faster with a full year of Butch Reynolds working with the team.
He's got skills!

Robiskie, Hartline now go-to receivers for Buckeyes


COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State wide receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline -- the two Brians, in the coaches' parlance -- know precisely what Buckeyes fans are thinking.
Who are these guys?

They are the receiver that made the first catch of the season and the receiver that made the last TD catch of the season. Buckeye fans know who Robiskie and Hartline are. Even of the Media doesn't.

also the fact he doesn't have an experienced qb will hurt his chances of putting of big numbers.

I doubt Boeckman's "lack of experience" is going to play as much of a factor as many think...

Very true, especially if he continues to show touch like on those two long bombs in the spring game, (though hartline dropped his)

Agreed. Krenzel won 14 games in 2002, with only one full game (at Michigan) and two half-games (Illinois and South Carolina) under his belt. And its not like the ball is just falling into Boeckman's lap. He has to beat out Schoenhoft, who I believe is capable of leading the Buckeyes to victory, and Antonio Henton. If he can do that, I think he'll be fine.

Back on topic... I think that the only thing that will hurt Robiskie is that there are a plethora of guys who can play wide receiver. He may be in the lead of them all, but if he takes a play off, I have to believe that someone else will step up. If he isn't getting his numbers, it's because someone else is, I believe.
