The attitude of the team is 100% better - nothing but positives from across the state. Just wish he'd focus on national recruits as well. Can't wait to see signing day for the Buckeyes!

I've heard the same rumblings too... Gary is creating much better relationships with Ohio high school AND Ohio State coaches. I'm excited to see the working relationship he and Tressel are starting to form... it will only help both programs in the long run.

Lack of depth has hurt
OSU for a number of years now. When looking at the team aspect of track it is all about getting bodies that can compete in every event... in the past
OSU hasn't even
entered athletes in events because they don't have enough to go around. Gary is definitely bringing a welcome change to the program and hopefully he continues to build on the success he is having.
