The Front Row

"We only had one visit from Burkina Faso which is disappointing and we need to work to getter better at impressing that market."

Delany is looking into offering Burkina Faso Community College a spot in the B1G. That should take care of Bucknuts in that market.

Any reason everyone is passing on this LaRue kid?

I believe that Luke Fickell may be considering a move to a School like Kent State as a HC. Of course, I have no factual basis, but logic would lead to that conclusion. He did an exceptional job as DC, especially the second half of this Season. If he leaves and we win the NC next season, he will still get some of the credit since he built and coached a large percentage of next year's D. If the D struggles next year, he will be credited with doing a great job this year with most of the same guys who struggle next year.

The move also makes sense from the perspective of his future. He could return in the future as HC at OSU if he succeeds at another Ohio School just like JT did at YSU. And, he may even be able to take some guys with him who are looking to transfer and who may excel at the smaller school but would get little PT here.

If he does leave, he needs to get a good OC, a luxury he was never afforded here at OSU last year and, in my opinion, a major reason for his lack of success as HC last year.

Small note that could have been mentioned about Hardings LeShun Daniels Jr.. He is the son of former OSU lineman LeShun Daniels!

I've logged onto Bucknuts while in Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Amsterdam , London, Prague, and a host of others much to the chagrin of my wife.
