Let's be clear here however, Edmonds ran for almost 2,300 hundred yards in 12 games.
Tyrell Sutton was supposed to be too small, will get injured, etc, etc.
Watch Frank this year, you'll be blown away.

no one is doubting whether Edmonds is a great back or not. and no one is doubting whether or not he can play in the Big 10. but even Clarrett and Pittman couldn't get through their first seasons unscathed. Sutton may not have gotten hurt, but once teams started focusing on him, his production dropped off (there is a 2-3 game stretch where he didn't sniff 100 yards). when it comes to Frank, I think what people are concerned about has more to do with whether he is going to get an offer from
OSU or not. like grad21, I happen to think that he is probably going to end up with a slew of offers from great schools like Iowa, Illinois, Pitt, Northwestern, Purdue, etc. but probably not Ohio State. with his grades as good as they are I could even see a school like Stanford coming across the country to offer Frank. but the
OSU staff has already offered Saine and are going to be very selective who gets any other offers at RB...could be Edmonds or it could be someone like Simpson, Williams, Gamble, Hughes, Martin, etc.
