Interesting way to handle things for a non-Ivy league school. I imagine that gives them some more cash to make a run at one of the unsigned people left or a guy like Tyrel Fortune.

I'm a little worried that after another year he will change his mind and skip tOSU or go somewhere else, but at least he has shown some level of commitment by getting a block O tattooed on his arm? I admit it would be pretty funny to see him wrestle for someone else with that tattoo...

We have the early #1 class for 2011! How's that? :)

Thanks for that JP. I didn't think I was going to be able to come up with anything. This year's small-but-good class just got smaller.

Unless he pulls a Carlos Boozer this really does seem like a smart move. I think he knows how great the freestyle program is at the Club and why waste a year if you can get a free one rehabbing?

Let's face it, we are going to suffer some growing pains in the next few years with these young guys, and hopefully get back to a Top 5 team. Okla. State just went through it and now will be a powerful team for the next 2-3 years. It's going to be very difficult to compete in the Big Ten next year anyway, because of all the redshirting that went on this year, Mich. & Penn State in particular.

and less gooder.

buckeyes lean times for next year, need to reassess their recruiting strategies ---and while at it load up on canned goods & bottled water for the long cold winter ahead. s/BobP
