Basham and Brown are proof, if you are dedicated to your craft, Ohio will provide a platform and will give you trining to get the strength and speed you need to succeed at the next level. Mitchell put up Jabril Peppers numbers at his pro day, Brinker would have been the second fastest running back in this draft. Muncy was mid 4.5 at 240 pounds. Come to Ohio, buy in and keep improving and you can play in the NFL. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I've seen crazier things happen.

Therefore, hats off to those young athletes who jump for the best perceived opportunity out there. What a story it would have been to have Burrows go from being a hero at Athens High School to a hero at Ohio. However, he was given a chance to step into one of the biggest stages in college football. Even if he is relegated to thus being a back up during his entire time at State, this could easily elevate him to a bigger role in football down the road as a coach or something else. That does not exclude many others, who have great talent, but, perhaps, lack certain exposure and opportunities. I think that Solich and company have done a great job of putting Ohio football on the National Stage to the point that NFL scouts will now find themselves with regular stays at the Ohio University Inn. It isn't about being too good for Ohio, but whether Ohio is the best place for a young talent, with aspirations, to get the exposure they need. Thanks to the growth of media exposure via ESPN, you can now play football in the middle of nowhere and still get exposure. I think that the NFL is coming to realize that what Solich led Ohio has to offer are mentally and physically tough young players that may not be first round draft prospects, but someone who can provide consistently and guts to your pro roster over the years.

Not true, Matt Cassel went undrafted after being a career backup at USC. You have to play, you have to lead men to play QB. He picked the brightest, time will tell whether it was a good decision. You go to OHio, work out your kinks and show out and you can get drafted. Ohio will get your measurables in line. Vick had a a faster QB time than all the QB's, his reps were hbigh, he was inconsistent and short so he did not get an opprtunity. Brrow, has the height and the opportunity to be consisstent, so he had a path. Roback at EMU was a four star, he needs to add weight, but he has a path. Cardale Jones was what a 5th round pick and he won a national championship. That does not exclude many others, who have great talent, but, perhaps, lack certain exposure and opportunities. I think that Solich and company have done a great job of putting Ohio football on the National Stage to the point that NFL scouts will now find themselves with regular stays at the Ohio University Inn. It isn't about being too good for Ohio, but whether Ohio is the best place for a young talent, with aspirations, to get the exposure they need. Ohio has three to 4 games on national tv every year, they usually play 1 or two beatable top 25 teams, they just have to beat them and stop coming close. Burrow could have done it. Had burrow came here and beat Tennesee and Western Michigan, he would be garnering attention just like Big Ben did. Thanks to the growth of media exposure via ESPN, you can now play football in the middle of nowhere and still get exposure. I think that the NFL is coming to realize that what Solich led Ohio has to offer are mentally and physically tough young players that may not be first round draft prospects, but someone who can provide consistently and guts to your pro roster over the years. You have to make a strategic decisions. Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.
