January 16, 200719 yr I think that "will" declared also!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Nah, Will transferred to U.L. - he will be able to help them.
January 16, 200719 yr TyWill has some great things going on out there, out of the spotlight. What makes you so confident? He is 18-28 his last 4 years as a HC. 7-16 at UW. Recruiting was probably his worst shortcoming at ND, and currently his recruiting class is ranked outside of the top 25. No 5-stars and only 2 4-stars. Looking at next years schedule, I can' see them doing any better than around .500 Sept. 1 at Syracuse Sept. 8 BOISE STATE Sept. 15 OHIO STATE Sept. 22 at UCLA Sept. 29 USC Oct. 6 CALIFORNIA Oct. 13 at Arizona State Oct. 20 OREGON Oct. 27 ARIZONA Nov. 3 at Stanford Nov. 10 at Oregon State Nov. 17 Washington State
January 16, 200719 yr IMO the biggest loss to the offense will be the graduation of Troy Smith. Finding receivers that can catch and run should not be a problem for OSU. :thumb: Tough to replace an overwhelming Heisman Trophy Winner but the Buckeyes will have a good one at QB.

January 16, 200719 yr Ohio State will be ok... might be hard to get back the championship, yet again, next year but they will be ok. There last few recruiting classes should help. 2005, 12th ranked class, 2006, 12th ranked class, 2007, 17th ranked class. If you compare that to a team people on this board are more familiar with such as: Louisville, they did not have a top 25 class the last 3 seasons. :thumb: Good post, I agree 100%. GO BUCKEYES!:flame:
January 16, 200719 yr Such as?? Anyone that Tressell decides on and puts out there. I don't think that whoever it may be will be as good as Smith..................Yet, but they will be good.
January 16, 200719 yr Author Anyone that Tressell decides on and puts out there. I don't think that whoever it may be will be as good as Smith..................Yet, but they will be good. As of now, it will be: Todd Boeckman or Rob Schoenhoft Todd Boeckman 6'5" 235 lb.s 19 rated PRO-STYLE QB out of HS, 3 star 7/9 86 yards, 1TD at OSU Rob Schoenhoft 6'6" 240 lbss 6 rated PRO -STYLE QB out of HS, 4 star Redshirted

We will have to see how good they are and can be but I trust Tressell in piutting the right guy out there.
January 16, 200719 yr I see OSU as a top 15 team at worse when the preseason polls come out in late August. They lost a lot of weapons on offense as previously mentioned, but do return a lot of talent. Lets review some of the top returnies. AT WR Jr. Bryan Robiskie could be the main target as Soph. Brian Hartline will be a solid #2. Keep an eye out for Soph. Ray Small. This guy is very fast and could prove to be a make or break reciever. Along the OL they return LT Alex Boone, LG Steve Rehring, and RT Kirk Barton. After watching their performance against Florida don't be surprised if the main focus for this unit is quickness and agility during the offseason. At the RB position there will be two horses to choose as both Jr. Maurice Wells and Soph. Beanie Wells return. Beanie will probably get most of the carries and he punishes defenders with his strength and power as Maurice will finish off TD drives with his lightening like speed. Obviously the biggest shoes to be filled will be those of Heisman winner Troy Smith. Going into spring ball Jr. Todd Boeckman will be the "starter" due to him having the most seniority among the three candidates. He originally committed with the 2003 recruiting class and grayshirted (delayed his enrollment), then redshirted. He will be 23 in June and has two years of eligibility remaining. Soph. Rob Schoenhoft of Cincinnati is a member of the 2005 class and has three years to play. The wildcard of the group seems to be R-Fr. Antonio Henton who, like Troy Smith, displays great speed and arm strength. Henton actually is bigger than Smith, as well (6 feet 2, compared with 6 feet for Smith). On the defensive side of the ball the biggest hit will come at DL with the losses due to graduation of DT's Quinn Pitcock, David Patterson, and DE Jay Richardson; however, Lawrence Wilson and Todd Denlinger prove to be solid backups. The biggest returners are at the LB and DB positions with Nagurski winner and Butkus and Bendarik finalist James Laurenaitis (team best 100 tackles with 13 against Texas) returning at MLB and Malcolm Jenkins (51 tkls and 4 INT) and Jamario O'Neal (24 tkls. and 1 INT) returning in the secondary. Kicking wise The Bucks return Kentucky native Soph. Aaron Pettrey for kickoffs, field goals (made 8 out of last 9) and PATs (53-56) and A.J. Trapasso as the punter (ave. 41 yards with 15 landing inside 20). The schedule seems favorable in September with a trip to Washington in week 3 after games against Youngstown St. and Akron. That could be a tell-tale game as far as seeing where The Bucks are fundamentally and athletically against competative competition. The early Big Ten schedule shouldn't produce any major surprises with a home game against Northwestern and a trip to Minnesota. October 10th could prove to be their biggest conference game to date with a trip to Purdue. The last time The Bucks and Boliermakers met was in 2004 with the enemy prevailing. Another Ohio showdown - Kent State - gives The Bucks a break in the Big Ten season as they close out October with State colleges Michigan and Penn. November will be do or die for the Scarlet and Gray with home games against Wisconsin, Illinois, and a trip to :flame: the team up north. So all you "tO$U" fans have nothing to worry about as I see The Bucks in a familiar place at the end of 2007...a top the Big Ten and in a BCS game! :thumb:

He didn't really do anything to wow me. Should be a good spring battle.
January 16, 200719 yr At the RB position there will be two horses to choose as both Jr. Maurice Wells and Soph. Beanie Wells return. Beanie will probably get most of the carries and he punishes defenders with his strength and power as Maurice will finish off TD drives with his lightening like speed. :thumb: Maurice Wells is currently considering a transfer.
