1) Cincinnati Princeton product Spencer Ware committed yesterday to Les Miles and LSU. Though the Buckeyes had offered, the interest between both parties never truly heated up. Ware is an all around good athlete, and it will be interesting to see if he gets lost in the shuffle down there or becomes a superstar. Regardless, it is another Cincinnati kid lost to an out-of-state school.
 
2) Adam Rittenberg has been ranking teams in the Big Ten position by position, and today he has the linebacker rankings up. The Buckeyes come up at number four, which is understandable after all we lost from last year there. Ahead of Ohio State was Penn State, Iowa, and Michigan State. It's hard to argue with Penn State being on top with Bowman and Lee returning after very solid seasons last year. I will say though, the Buckeyes have the depth and talent level to be the best linebacking core by seasons end.

3) Pete "da Cheat" Carroll might have USC in more trouble. The latest problems come from Carroll bringing in an NFL tactican to help with their kicking and punting game. Just one more reason why the NCAA needs to bring down the hammer on the Trojans!
 
4) In other USC related news, Frankie Telfort will not play football for the Trojans because of a heart condition. Telfort was a Buckeye recruit, and was an incredible talent. You have to feel for the young man!
 
5) Finally, head over to Our Honor Defend to check out the piece on James Louis. While there is reason for celebration, it seems as if his commitment might be a "soft verbal" at best. Louis has yet to even visit the campus, and it appears he also wants to stick it to Urban Meyer. Let's see if his commitment makes it the long haul or not...
