The scoop on JRich is that he's very talented but takes plays off. There's been a lot of talk about Richardson stepping up this offseason... tho even if he holds off Wilson I still expect to see both play often.

I haven't heard that. I was just thinking that Gholston is just that impressive.

Well, Tress always likes to rotate 8 guys in on the Dline, so being the 2 deep is all that really matters. Maybe the coaches just like what he does working with Barrow, Denlinger and Penton. Regardless, Wilson will see plenty of playing time.

Richardson was impressive during the spring game, lets hope he plays hard every snap and raises his level of play.

OZone still has Rory Nicol's # wrong from when they bumped Frost off their list.

No offense to Gonzo or the team, but it seems like we hear that EVERY season. That our team has vastly improved from the year before. Like last year, we were said that everything was in perfect shape to go out and win a National Title. However, after listening to Gonzo, it seems like it wasnt true. Im starting to take all of the "We are actually in better shape than last year" comments with a grain of salt.
But I still must say that I am excited for this group and the Two-a-days will seperate the men from the boys. It will help define the leaders, captains and starters for the upcomming season. Certainly an exciting time in Columbus.

Richardson had the same impression following him, going into last season. No offense to him, because he is a talented player (or he wouldnt be at OSU), but hes a better backup than starter IMO. I too expect Wilson to garner alot of snaps in 2006. |
