Position Battles to Chew On Over the Summer
A spring game is a lot of things. It’s a chance for the staff to see personnel at various spots in a game-like situation, it serves as a player reward for 14 grueling practice sessions and it’s a chance for the fans to come out and get a sneak peak at the team for next to nothing, among other things. One thing a spring game is not, however, is a starting lineup blueprint...

Heuerman Makes Ten
Think the utilization of Stoneburner on Saturday played a role?
Ohio State has received a verbal from tight end Jeff Heuerman ($) of Naples Collier, making the 6-5/230 tight end the tenth member of the 2011 class. Collier, one of a handful of sunshine state preps in attendance for the Spring Game over the weekend, received his offer on Saturday and left town having fallen in love...

Five Things: Spring Game
Another season brings us a new year of Five Things, although it sure is a lot more fun writing about Rose Bowl victories as opposed to scrimmages, even if it is our last taste of delicious Buckeye football until fall camp. Still, there’s plenty to pontificate, much of which Jason’s bullets touched on yesterday.

Spring Game A/V Bullets
These videos and related bullets were supposed to be online sooner, but thunderstorms across the midwest last night mixed with a flight into the bag of suck that is O’Hare turned the last 18 hours into the type of travel hell that seems to strike about once every year or so (ORD being the constant in all episodes). So, to make up for the tardiness, here’s a clip of a...

Guiton, Washington Power Gray Victory
Mr. April shined once again (11W Photo)
It wasn’t quite the sunny affair that packed 95,000+ into the Shoe for last year’s Spring Game, but 62,223 were on hand today through scattered showers and those that stuck around until the end were treated to an exciting finish that saw quarterback Kenny Guiton and the Gray squad come back for a 17-14 victory over Scarlet.

You may be tempted to fret over the fact that a Bobcat was taken ahead of a Buckeye in the NFL draft for the first time since 1939 or that no Buckeyes were taken in the first three rounds since 1998.

What to Watch for at the Spring Game
Etienne Sabino, the Running Back-Seeking Muscle Missile
The annual spring game is suddenly upon us and you’d be wise to soak it up because once the last whistle is blown tomorrow, we enter 100 days of wilderness until players report for camp again in early August.
If you’re planning to attend the game — and you should because Alabama is furiously adding seats to...

Will Cash and Sebastiano bring Ocho-Cinco to Columbus?
While many of you are elated over the news of the recent Jeremy Cash commitment, there is another player in the Sunshine State who is flying a little bit more under the radar. That player is North Broward wide receiver and 7-on-7 teammate of Jeremy Cash, AJ Sebastiano.

Do I Feel A Draft? As the Buckeye Leaf Turns
Killing Quarterbacks. It’s just what he does.
Unlike some years past, the 2010 NFL Draft rolls around with little Scarlet & Grey fan fare. An Orlando Pace won’t be holding up a jersey standing next to the commissioner being honored for being the top overall pick nor will we even see a Malcolm Jenkins going top 14. The Buckeyes experience just one moderately high...

The state of Ohio is rich with talent for the football class of 2011 and one player who is on everybody’s recruiting radar is CB/WR Doran Grant of St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron. While Lebron James made the Irish a famous brand on the hardwood, Grant is trying to give the school a name on the gridiron and is having great success doing...

2010 Defense: Who Lives Up to the Hype?
Sabino seems primed for a breakout 2010
Last week, we examined the 2010 offense searching for players who might deliver after being the recipients of much hype before and during their brief stints in Columbus. We also recapped the various factors that can cause a player to get lost in the shuffle including off field issues, grades, injuries, skill set not conducive to the system...

While many of you are upset over the recent events that have occurred regarding OSU recruit Jamel Turner, we had a chance to sit down with him just two days before the recent shooting incident.
While it is easy to put Turner in the “thug” category, if you actually speak to him you can tell he does not want to live that life and really...

Spring Hits the Midwest and Things Accelerate
What, me worry?
Michigan held their spring game Saturday and if there’s one word on the lips of the Wolverine faithful afterwards, it’s “Denard!”:
Denard! Denard! Denard! Disclaimer: It was all ones versus twos and whatnot, so Denard took the starting offense against a motley collection of walk-ons and Tate took a bunch of freshmen up against the first team...

Cash Makes Nine
Plantation (FL) defensive back Jeremy Cash became the 9th member of the 2011 class when he called Jim Tressel earlier today and informed him that he would like to play in some real football weather*.
The 6-2 Cash, projected as a safety at the next level, caught the eye of scouts after a stellar sophomore campaign in which he posted 82 tackles (15 of which were TFLs), nine sacks and...

Jamel Turner Claims to Have Been Shot
Rumors began to pop up here, there and everywhere that troubled class of 2010 recruit Jamel Turner had been shot twice in Youngstown yesterday afternoon. The proverbial horse’s mouth seems to confirm things on Facebook:
This hasn’t been picked up and confirmed by any major outlets around Ohio, but assuming it’s true, Jamel is lucky to still have a future in football...

Eleven Eyes: Report from the Jersey Scrimmage
Many thanks to Zach Asman for reporting from the Jersey Scrimmage today at Ohio Stadium. Here are his notes from the Defense’s big victory over the Offense:
-Scarlet (Defense) won 78-24
-Defense was completely dominant. They were quick to the ball overall, extremely disruptive

Eleven Eyes: Thursday Practice Observations
Devon Torrence is ready for greatness (photo/11W)
Saturday’s biannual jersey scrimmage will tell a lot to the coaching staff in terms of who is ready to step up and play, and who needs to continue to work on things in order to scratch the surface of the depth chart. The players know this as well and, following suit of the previous spring sessions, stepped up the tempo even...

Tuesday Night saw The Villain make his professional basketball debut… with the Harlem Globetrotters. While E.T. wisely didn’t partake in the chicanery and shenanigans the ‘Trot (my improvised nickname for them; help it catch on) are usually all about, he did participate as the honorary jump ball tosser. It would appear as though the ball he threw was actually a...
