WR Duron Carter (Official Thread)

There are signs that Ohio State's coaching staff wants to see more than just improved grades from receiver Duron Carter at Coffeyville Community College; it also wants to see an improved attitude. Even after Carter became academically ineligible at Ohio State, his study habits and class attendance didn't improve much.

Carter might return to Ohio State with two years' eligibility remaining, as his father, Cris, has suggested, but word is that Buckeyes coaches want to see Duron take his responsibilities more seriously before they welcome him back.

Former Ohio State receiver Duron Carter looking to grab last chance at community college: Video | cleveland.com

"I messed up. It's my last chance," Carter says.
A freshman not adjusting to the demands of college life certainly isn't unusual, and every football program, Ohio State included, has some players coming in from either less challenging high school academic environments or without the full family support that can help an 18-year-old adjust to college. But that wasn't the case with Carter, the son of former Ohio State and NFL star Cris Carter. So Duron did this to himself, and as this video shows, he knows it. The good news for Ohio State fans is he wants to come back.

I think it speaks VOLUMES that Coach Tressel would send Duron, the son of a Buckeye legend, off to community college.

It shows we mean business. No nepotism nonsense - JT walks the walk. Even though I am sad for Duron, I am extremely proud of JT and his staff for upholding the standards that define a great program.

Duron is not eligible. He hasn't had the grades to be a STUDENT here, let alone a student. I think this says nothing about Tressel, and everything about Duron. Duron messed up but it sounds like he is willing to take the steps to get here.

My bad - I thought he was still able to be a student, just wouldn't be permitted to participate in football.

Book May Not Be Closed on Carter
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS ? Duron Carter won?t be on the field when Ohio State opens fall camp Aug. 5; in fact, he won?t be on the field at all for the Buckeyes this fall.

The son of former OSU All-American Cris Carter lasted only one season in Columbus before academic issues forced him into a transfer this off-season. With the help of his dad, he landed at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas, effectively ended the first chapter of Carter?s collegiate playing career.

But did it close the book on the young wide receiver?s career in Scarlet and Gray?

?I?m sure he would love to come back,? said Darrell Hazell, Carter?s position coach at Ohio State.

?But obviously he?s got a lot of work to do and I think he needs to concentrate on a day-to-day deal to make sure he?s able to do that.?

Yeah, because thats what Duron wants to do. Go to a JC school and not play in a FBS NC, then transfer back to D-1 and still not play in a FBS NC.

Good to hear Duron is doing well. Looking back on a couple recent players (Small, Rose, Boone, etc) that could have made a small, brief, step down to mature themselves into a better student athlete and more well-rounded individual.

Kudos to the entire Carter family for this decision.
