Stupid hands.

I'm grateful for his service as a Buckeye, but I think this ultimately a positive result for the team. We're stacked with green talent at WR and his reportedly negative attitude would have been counter productive for their development and growth.

I liked him too, but the truth is he was a very bad virus (I have read numerous reports from many sources) and could have really done some damage to this young team next year. Also, dare I say that he was a white kid.....I know this sounds bad and controversial but it is true......there aren't many white kids playing that position on elite teams nor NFL rosters. 40 times be damned.......you just don't see it. Super talented stud athletes is what will turn this team around IMO. Our biggest problem has been recruiting and missing out on big prospects for several years....and of course Jim Bollman. And of course.....Jim Heacock. Hartline was fast.....but that was it. He got pushed around quite a bit against big cornerbacks at LSU and USC. That's my 2 cents....don't let the door hit you in the ass Brian. Yeah….he was very promising when he was recruited but likely was overrated.

I'm not sure if he'll get drafted or not. Seems like an odd case for Tressel to have a junior leave that isn't going to be drafted on the first day.
