3. "there was no chance of him making it through the season healthy anyway" In response to Reply # 0 Tue Aug-19-14 08:34 AM by 3xKrazy
it was a non-contact injury, apparently he was throwing an 8 yard out route and the shoulder tore. if it didn't happen today it was going to happen in week 3 or 5, etc. so at least we can prep JT now.
braxton has a world of talent...heisman talent...but he just can't put it all together. OSU fans have been overrating his NFL potential for quite some time now.
agreed on his nfl prospects, he's played his ass off in college, but I didn't really see it at the next level unless he made some magical leap in ability at reading defenses or throwing accuracy.

hope he recovers...well, since it's still not official, i hope he can play some this season. if not, let's hope he gets right for, and shows out at, the combine.

22. "Is there any chance he would move to WR?" In response to Reply # 16
If he doesn't project to QB at the next level, why not spend a year as a WR. Cribbs and Edelman are two players that come to mind making that switch in the NFL. Matt Jones too before he got into nose candy.
23. "can you picture Brax going across the middle?" In response to Reply # 22
thing is Brax *does* have skills that translate to the NFL level.
It's just my opinion that he physically can't handle it (despite having NFL size) and that he's behind the curve mentally. I almost think he'd be better off in a pro-style system where he can simply throw it or bail on the play and improvise with his legs.
But I'll defer to Will's superior judgement on NFL prospects.

UM fans can commiserate with Denard and his nagging elbow/nerve issue and the shittiness of never being able to see a special talent hit its max potential. Who knows, maybe he can make a full recovery.
It will definitely be interesting to see what Urban and his offensive system can do with the next guy up. When you expose your QB to that many hits you absolutely have to have two guys prepared.
30. "5* DE and (former) future 1st rounder Noah Spence suspended indefinitely" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Sep-12-14 04:04 PM by guru0509
he was suspended 3 games before the bowl game last year for failing a drug test (ecstacy again)...(claimed someone slipped him a magic bean in his drink at a party on campus last year)
was set to return to tmw
failed another piss test, and now ppl are saying his status on the team could very well be over as he and his parents figure out if he needs to enter a rehab program (smfh)
43. "He was a phenomenal talent who pissed it away like many other HBurg " In response to Reply # 30
area athletes as of late. He came outta the same school that Shady McCoy and Ricky Watters went to (Bishop McDevitt). Was an absolute beast and showed up on both the tape and in workouts. Much like Zaayd Issah (PSU committ who just got kicked out of Temple) and others, he's a recent Harrisburg area kid who just can't get right no matter how many great opportunities and second chances you give em.
44. "damn, that sucks. " In response to Reply # 43
what's weird is that Meyer raved about his parents and upbringing etc. when he offered him a scholarship. Noah Spence was one of the very first guys to commit to Urban IIRC.
I can only imagine how his game would have flourished this season under Larry Johnson's tutelage.
