Practice has begun. OSU has James Louis and Corey Brown playing in the game. Jordan Hicks is also playing in the game.

Thus far, Hicks has impressed people with his pass coverage. Gholston is opening some eyes. He's the one guy I wish they would have targeted a bit more early on. I can't help but think of a future 1st rounder drafted by the Raiders organization when I look at him.

It's on ESPN's site. I'm also too lazy for that work.

If you don't want to see the best of the best go against each other, so be it.

Isn't that what major college football is for? No offense to anyone that does watch it, but it can't be all that entertaining. They just do drills right?

It's not the highlight of anybodys day, but I like to see upcoming OSU commits before they actually get to Cbus. Nothing wrong with watching as much football as you can. This is the time of year that, in a way, sets expectations for Buckeye fans. Mike Adams was barely a top 100 recuit before the All-American practice. However, he dominated anybody that came within arms reach of him and the big hype started about him. What did that do? Most OSU fans had him penciled in as a starter his FR year and acted like he was the next Pace.

Wonder if the Texas Tech kids will now look elsewhere with the HC being fired today?

Like always, kids will look around. Doesn't mean they will leave. I can think of one guy that is PERFECT for this job. Sumlin of Houston.

I've got it on, mostly because I know Coach Conley, but it looks like it'l be halfway decent if they put some actual practice footage on of kids doing drills

I just got back from Disney and several players were staying at the same hotel as me. They had one room full of Under Armor stuff and another room with more Under Armor stuff in it. They also have a players lounge with dozens of computers, leather chairs, and TV's in it. Right beside it there is a parents room.

I think those are the only ones for OSU Louis, Brown, and then Hicks.

A lot of unrefined talent on the field making mistakes, hopefully the game gets smoother.

Hicks is undecided...that being said, I hope he picks OSU but his finalist are also USC, Florida, Texas, and Alabama. Somehow I don't think we get him.

Since we have two receivers in the game, I guess it wouldn't matter if Washington and Thomas transferred after all

Hicks is down between UF, Texas, and OSU darby.

IMO, I think its 1) Texas 2) UF 3) OSU.

Hicks hasn't heard directly from Meyer about the UF situation so that has thrown him off a little bit. He wants to enroll early so his decision will come soon but not today.

Alabama just picked up a good commit (not that many people on here give a damn)
