I don't think we'll be able to run the ball next year like we were able to this year. You have to keep in mind we had arguably the best offensive line in the entire nation this year. 4 of those guys are leaving, as well as our 1,000 yard, 230lb running back. Braxtons role next year in my opinion will be much like his first 2 years, but hopefully he throws the ball more and doesn't end up injured. I don't think we have a guy to fall back on next year like we did this year with Guiton. We'll find out in a little over 8 months just what we are working with next year. Until then, we speculate haha

^^It's a combination of both. Braxton's best looking pass is the deep bomb, same situation Pryor had. He needs another year of developing as a QB before he's taken seriously. He's one hell of an athlete, that's not disputable, but to say he's a great qb is. I will say this, from last year to this year he has improved, would be nice to see how much more he can improve with another year of off season practice.

I think a lot of what happens next year depends on what Braxton does. If he leaves early, then don't be surprised if OSU runs the ball even more than this year. If he comes back then I look for him and Devin Smith to put up pretty good numbers in the passing game.

Funny you mention him, there was just a post on scout about him. He was the main recruiter of Johnnie Dixon for NC State. So many names are being throw out there it's crazy. Fans will flip shit if the secondary is bad again next year lol. Something i saw today and thought was interesting "@MikeHuguenin: Florida and Michigan...in 2017 opener in Dallas.. will be UF's first non-conference game out of state since 1991." ^^ Southern teams absolutely refuse to come north and play haha. To follow that up, I read this "they used to play their annual series with Kentucky in November, but right around the same time, they petitioned the SEC to move that game to September. Every time they played in Lexington from 1967-1991, it was in November. Every time since, it has been played in September (one exception, an October game in 2007)."

He beat out 2 alumni for the position? There was a coach from Cass Tech (detroit highschool) who was tweeting the other day that he was heading to columbus and it might change his life. Word got out and he quickly said it was non football related, but rather he was going to meet a female friend...

At least Gardner stayed in the Big10

Well he was suspended from filming new shows today actually. I don't have a problem with him stating his opinion, I just think he could've done it in a little better manner, like pleading the 5th haha.

LOL, I just feel redneck show such as these are intended to dumb down America and it's working haha. I do choose not to watch it and I don't really care who watches it, I still think it's a dumb show. I think most shows on tv today are pretty ridiculous including 16 and a whore. Get knocked up at 15 and become a celebrity over night, Murica!

I am with this guy, I seriously think my IQ drops each time I see them on tv or hear someone talk about that show. They are a white trash persons wet dream

He won't go to gen pop, he'll go where the other pedophiles are housed at. You know prison is like daycare, they nurture criminals, rather than treat them like the animals that they are. I am seriously arguing right now with a buddy who feels that pedophiles have a disease and should be rehabilitated in prison, rather than them being beat/raped to death. The judicial system is so fucked up, prisoners have more rights than law abiding citizens it seems sometimes.

I had to take a break while reading it. Having a 3 year old myself I could only think of the ungodly actions I would take upon someone who even thought about doing such things to him.

Dude got 29 years in prison today, the 2 girls got 15 and 16 each. If you want to read some fucked up shit read this court disposition, I warn you it's fucked up http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/Judgments/r-v-watkins-and-others.pdf

Scout updated rankings today apparently "Sam Hubbard is now the number one player in the state, number two nationally at his position, AND bumped up to get his 5th star." I'll post the other guys rankings in a few, i'll edit this post to include them Cleveland Glenville (Ohio) safety Erick Smith played great down the stretch and moved up nearly 20 spots in the Scout 300. Also Christian Bryant has applied for his medical redshirt according to reports. From what I have read, the rule states a player cannot play more than 40% of the teams snaps and he's played in 42..We'll see how this ends up. It would be a big bolster to the secondary if he comes back next year, even though I am not a huge fan of his, I feel his loss was huge to this years team.

I don't understand it either unless they are paying him more. He makes 600k a year to coach at the school he has loved his whole life and playe for. I think it's another rumor that will lead to nothing honestly.

Here ya go Gary: http://www.nationaltrailraceway.com/apcm/templates/news.asp?articleid=57787&zoneid=23

Meh, I just don't see it. Maybe it's cause I am so anti Michigan, but I really don't see the tradition of playing there outside of The Game. Maybe their tradition is winged helmets and jumping up to touch a banner before home games? BTW rumors swirling that Fickell is being talked to by Kelly (Notre Dame) to come there. Not sure how true these rumors are but they are being discussed on both the OSU and ND boards. One of the posters on ND's board asked if he could bring McMillan with him haha.

Hokes downfall will be loyalty to his offensive coordinator (Al Borges). I honestly am not sure Michigan can do better than Hoke, it just isn't the job it once was.

Was just about to post this, now Damien Harris who is another Michigan commit tweets the following: Damien Harris ‏@Damien_D1Harris 17m Here comes the tough decision.. Stadium and Main (michigans scout board) is about to implode lol

1. He attends Dwyer Highschool in Florida who plays some tough competition and are nationally ranked. I think he'll do fine with college DB's 2. He runs a 10.6 100m dash, he could just be tired in the highlight film. Never know what point in the game it was taped. 3. He is supposedly one of, if not the best running WR's in this years class 4. I agree, gives you more ways to use the weapons Give these guys a year or 2 in a god strength and conditioning program and they will be animals.

Not sure, that's whos ratings I went off on all the guys list. It's funny how differently ratings vary. I will venture to say Dixon just dropped on ESPN's rankings after picking Ohio State, happens all the time lol

Video of Johnnie picking OSU Some highlights of him:

JuJu would be a great pickup for a couple of reasons, 1. He's a stud, 2. Its a position of need for OSU and lastly it would surely piss Michigan fans off, they felt he was a lean to Michigan haha.

Looking at who's left it's going to come down to these guys Marshon Lattimore DB from Glenville Erick Smith S from Glennville Solomon Thomas DE out of Texas Malik McDowell DE out of Michigan (has official here on Jan 31st) Those seem to be the 4 most commonly mentioned, as I said I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 surprise commits that no one has on their radar at the moment. On paper the linebacker and WR class looks ridiculous now WR's: #39 Jonnie Dixon #37 Noah Brown #26 Curtis Samuel #48 Malik Hooker (many feel he is a db in college) #50 Terry McLaurin (Indiana Mr. Football) Linebackers: #3 OLB Kyle Berger #5 OLB Dante Booker #6 OLB Sam Hubbard #5 MLB Raekwon McMillan

Next up the Glenville boys and maybe a surprise or two

Oh it's damn true lol. Dude has a college looking body already and speed to go with it. I had never seen him before until someone posted a picture of him before his state championship game. He is not going to come in and have to put weight on, he's already there
