Talk about an Urban type player.

Talk about an Urban type player.

Sounds like a Buckeye. I can't prevent myself from getting a little more excited every time I read one of these stories about the kids coming to Columbus. Not just because they are coming to Ohio State to win championships either. It's because they all seem to want to take on the challenge that Urban has laid out for what it's going to take to be a Buckeye. Weather it's in the classroom, weight room, or on the field. Every one of these kids seems up to it. It's just nice knowing guys like James will allow us to compete at a national level on the field and in the classroom.

So the article says he's already on campus...anyone know when the team actually reported?

I don't believe they can do anything officially as a "team" until fall camp. Nobody will be "reporting", just showing up.

The freshman class has been on campus for two weeks. I believe most, if not all of them, are taking classes over the summer.

Of Clark, for example, Smith said, ?he can fly,? and he called him functional in other areas as a receiver. But he also explained the realization that comes with not being the fastest guy on the field anymore.

?They're like, 'Whoa, I'm the guy. I'm really fast ? and so is everyone else,? Smith said. ?They've got to learn to combat that with fundamentals.?

James Clark can flash his Florida speed at WR if he knows what he's doing: Ohio State freshman focus

"He's very functional as a wide receiver right now. He understands how to run routes, he understands how to get open, it's just a matter of him learning the offense and learning the speed of the game," Smith said.

"I can't believe he said that," Clark said.

The young man presents himself very well; seems quite mature for a frosh.

Hope his redshirt isn't burned on his one play injury. I don't understand why you put a guy with his talent on the field in this type of situation.

I'm pretty sure I've seen him on the field before today. Besides that, this is a good time to get the young guys some game experience. Hopefully the injury isn't bad but if it is then there could always be the possibility of a medical redshirt down the road.

I haven't seen him Marshall or Mitchell yet. Unless Clark has been on special teams and hasn't made any tackles, I haven't seen him.

Bad looking injury. Ankle? He got rolled up on.

 

[stowfan]

I may be wrong, but I thought I saw them with an air cast on the field.

 

[Taosman]

They put an air cast on it.

 

[Zander42]

I saw a replay that looked like his foot was moving independently from the rest of his leg. Not good. They did put an air cast on as well, typically used on bad breaks to stabilize the leg.
