Worth bringing out this ...
Great choice Brian - bring as many underclassmen with you as you can!

COLUMBUS - Ohio State won't be losing all of its juniors with NFL potential. Brian Robiskie, the Buckeyes' leading receiver, said tonight that he will return for his senior season.
 APBrian Robiskie
"For a while it was a decision for me," Robiskie said. "But after being with my dad for the last few weeks, all we talked about was me coming back." The son of former Browns assistant and interim head coach Terry Robiskie, Brian was Ohio State's leading receiver this season with 55 catches for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns. That tied Robiskie for 10th for catches in a season in OSU history, ranked him 11th in yardage and tied him for fourth in touchdowns. If Robiskie just matches the numbers from his junior season, he would finish his career in the top five all-time at OSU in all three receiving categories.
A marketing major, he also was named an Academic All-American and he now has a chance to be the sixth two-time winner of that honor in Ohio State history.
"Obviously, you have the desire to play in the NFL," Robiskie said. "And for me, I feel like I want to do more than just play college football. But I feel like there's a lot I want to do that I haven't accomplished yet in college. First and foremost is win a national championship, and we've been there twice but we can't seem to win it."
So he'll be back with that in mind. Other OSU juniors who are considering the NFL but haven't publicly announced their decisions yet are linebackers James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman, defensive end Vernon Gholston, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and left tackle Alex Boone.

Great news. Robo was great this year, and IMO next year he should be getting some more national media attention.

Didn't realize Robo leaving early was really an option.
With that said, he's one of the best college route runners I've ever seen.

His stock would only go up if he stays. Great news for Ohio State, his father is giving him some good advice. Now if the lure of the NFL doesn't drain our Junior class...we have a great chance for another good run.

Great news! Hopefully this is the beginning of a trend for OSU. If so, we'll be back in the title hunt next season once again.

Sweet news. I wasnt sure Robo would actually go anyway but to hear him say he is definitely coming back is very solid news. That means our offensive attack is all returning except maybe the corners on our line. Barton graduating only leaves Boone out there unsure. We have plenty of Olineman coming in and currently on the roster to fill at least one hole, but if we dont have to, thats even better!
Robo, I hope you break multiple records this season and enter yourself in the Top 5 all time at tOSU.
