So true. Very few kids are like Trae Williams and start as a freshman. Grant Gregory didn't start QB at a power 5 school until his senior year. Joe Burrow will start his Junior year. Those are two of the greatest ever from SEO

I'm not sure Joe will ever start at Ohio State

Maybe not, but he surely outplayed Barrett in the 2016 spring game.

Really do not like this thread.

Kid changed his mind. Like every other kid at some point that goes from High School to College/Work/Military about what they may want to do or be or whatever.

Urban changed his mind, was Florida coach, then ESPN commentator, then OSU coach and at some point will change again most likely. Big deal.

Only news from this topic is from Raider that the greatest ever from SEO hail from Athens, which truly is noteworthy. Not sure I knew that prior to just reading it above.

OSU is just a different animal. You have to wait your turn and most of their starters are NFL players. Did he transfer to Cincinnati?
