6'4" 210 in the article at the top of the page, and then 6'2" 195 at the next quoted article. Pretty funny stuff :lol:

When he was here he looked around 6'3" and 190 lbs.

I'd say that would be about accurate. However, it looks like he's put on some mass so 205 could be his real weight now.

There's an important discussion going on on the Scout boards. Duron gets a clean slate academic wise at every school other than tOSU. Meaning, he can maintain a 2.0 and be eligible at all the other schools, while he would need above a 3.0 to return to the field at OSU, as his former academic record would fit into the equation. Lots to think about.

Great point, I'd love for him to come back here. That being said, it would make sense for the young man to want a clean slate elsewhere. However, none of those programs have the success rate of turning Wide-outs to the pros, and his father is still all Buckeye... Interesting dichotomies.

I don't think the issue is him potentially wanting a clean slate elsewhere. It sounds to me like there's a chance that he would actually need that clean slate to even be able to transfer back into D1 (if he had a gpa between 2.0 and 3.0).

I have been under the impression that Duron's grades aren't THAT bad. The decision to leave Ohio State was made between the two parties for reasons that included, but weren't limited to grades. There were other issues, one of which being an overall attitude adjustment and basic things like actually going to class. I'd be shocked to learn Duron's GPA was under 2.0 by a lot. I don't think he had much work to do to get it above 2.0.

Count me as being absolutely SHOCKED if Duron would to go anywhere else. I'd put the chances of TP leaving early higher than the chance of Duron not being here next year FWIW.

This may be why it's so rare to see a player leave a school, go to Juco, then return to the same school. Maybe someone on here knows of a case where that's happened -- I can't think of any.

We'll see what shakes out. The fact that he's taking visits and listing a number of schools certainly looks like he's seriously considering a fresh start.

He'd need to raise it up to 3.0 at OSU, not 2.0. Unfortuantely, I think his days at OSU have past. I'd love to be wrong, but I don't think I am...
