WR Mike Lanese (official thread)
A good read on Mike Lanese, who was named a Rhodes Scholar after his Buckeye career in the 80s'.

Where Are They Now? Mike Lanese

Mike Lanese was a standout wide receiver for Ohio State in the early 1980's and he is our latest feature in the Where Are They Now series. Lanese was actually recruited as a tailback, but was moved to WR soon after arriving in Columbus. Lanese went on to be a Rhodes Scholar.

Time to play some what if games.
Let's start from the Lanese recruitment, when he was being courted as a Flanker by Michigan, and a TB or flanker at Ohio State, then add that his choice was first TSUN.
Wind the clock forward some 20 odd years. Imagine that Scout, Rivals and all the rest of the recruiting focussed internet sites were available for Mike and his family to peruse during his recruitment. He would then know just exactly how deep that backfield at Ohio State would be on entering campus. Who knows, perhaps that revelation would be his epiphany rather than waking up and being a born-again Buckeye.
In any event, I'm glad that it worked out the other way. Mike was a class act on the field and clearly continued to be a class act of the same. Great read about one of my favorite Buckeye receivers.

?I got interested in the military my freshman year,? Lanese explained. ?I took a military history class with Dr. Williamson Murray. It seemed to make a lot of sense to me.?
Dr. Murray is the man. Learned more from him than any other prof. anywhere.
