WR DeVier Posey (2017 Grey Cup Champion and MVP)

I also like Corey Brown. Apparently he is tearing it up in camp. I have read that he looks like the best athlete on the team.

Ohio State football: Those who can?t, teach
Suspended Posey uses down time to help younger receivers
Friday September 2, 2011

DeVier Posey said he is ?just taking a positive attitude about everything.?

Anyone who has watched preseason practice can see that DeVier Posey is the most polished and proven receiver that Ohio State has. And anyone paying attention to college football the past nine months knows that Posey won?t be playing on Saturday when the Buckeyes open the season against Akron.

But Posey, facing a five-game suspension for his role in the Ohio State football scandal, hasn?t moped. He worked all preseason with young receivers such as Corey Brown and Verlon Reed, who will have to step into the breach left by him and last year?s other starter, Dane Sanzenbacher, now with the NFL?s Chicago Bears.

?He took a negative and turned it into a positive,? Brown said. ?You can always respect somebody like that. He could be walking around here saying this, saying that. But he walks around with a smile on his face every day, getting the young guys up, just basically helping us out.?

Tim May's titles are starting to get old...

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

DeVier must have taught the young guys a thing or two during the off-season...

Five More Games

Ohio State University football student-athlete DeVier Posey must sit five games and repay benefits after receiving approximately $720 from a booster for work not performed, according to a decision today by the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff. Posey also accepted approximately $100 in golf fees from another individual, which is a preferential treatment violation.

So I guess the question is. To redshirt, or not to redshirt?

If that is an option, he should really consider it. His junior year was average at best. He could light it up in the combine and be a 3rd or 4th rounder. If he came back and lit it up next year he could get into the 1st or 2nd.

so he took twice as much as Herron and got 5x the suspension. Awesome job NCAA

I'm only surprised it wasn't for the remainder of the season.

Rules are rules...but damn...beat a guy up, hit a guy over the head with a beer bottle, assault a women, threaten to kill a women, DUI, and all of this takes a back seat to getting a free round of golf and taking a few extra bucks for working a job over the summer.

Ten fucking games for what, a couple grand at most, in benefits?

I'll be very surprised if we can use a redshirt to recover a season lost to suspension. I have to believe that is not an option, but I don't know for sure.

It is a question I never really wanted to have to ask in the first place. :ohwell:

 

[utgrad73]

Is it too late for the supplemental draft? Of wait he'd sit out 10 games there too. What a joke. Guess the NCaa is flexing their little muscles again, he might as well sign up as a WR coach assistant. These guys need to get in touch...

 

[bassbuckeye07]

there is no red shirt but he got fucked and the fact that Gene Smith is suprised bothers me

He has five years to play four seasons. He came to OSU in 2008, so this is his fourth year in the program, and since he hasn't played this year and if he sits out the last few games after his return, he can still play next year because it will be his fifth year here and he has only played in three seasons (2008, 2009, 2010). It does not matter why he did not play this year...the fact remains he still has his fifth year in the bank to use provided he does not play this season.

Until the President of the NCAA deems Devier Posey to have made "decisions that undermine the integrity of the eligibility rules for the NCAA."

Paraphrased from Roger Goodell, ofcourse.
