DT Johnathan "Big Hank" Hankins (Dallas Cowboys)

[buxfan4life]

Hank the only B1G defender to make the cut.

Can't be. I mean ThaKid101 tells us that the Illini have 4 All-Americans on the DL, and what about PSU and their All-Pro LB corp? Surely this is just another conspiracy.

MIKE MAUTI SAD.

6) Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State* -- Scouts think Hankins grades out better in areas of athleticism and movement skills compared to Star Lotulelei, but they question his every-down intensity. His game comes with great upside, and Hankins can be as good as he wants to be.

but they question his every-down intensity

Sounds like "they" need to start watching game film...

Apparently if you don't showboat after every little thing you aren't "intense" - that's what I take from comments such as that crap.

He's picked his endurance up no doubt, but every down durability/intensity may be questioned by "they" just in an overall sense that he takes a lot of breathers on the field. It's fantastic he's become a 3 down player, but it seems he needs medical assistance every other series which can come off as a question of fatigue/motor.

He's been fierce every snap without question.

I haven't seen that from him that last several games...

Agreed. When a DT has multiple 10+ tackle games and runs down WR bubble screens, nobody should be nitpicking about motor and endurance.

...and when Scheelhaase can't get around the edge with only that DT to beat...

Just show him scaring the shit out of Scheelhaas as he chased him out of bounds late in the 3rd quarter.

So what do you guys think, is he 100% gone or is there a glimmer of hope?

 

[OhioState001]

I don't think it's 100%. Last offseason I know he mentioned that he wanted to come back to play for a national title, and he was only gone if he was #1 overall. However that was last offseason.

He has a really good shot at being a top 10, maybe even a top 5 draft pick. It would be awesome for the Ohio State Buckeyes if he comes back, but as a fan of Johnathan Hankins, I hope he makes the correct decision and declares for the draft. You gave us 3 good years big Hank, now go collect that money!

Take the money and go, look what happened to Sully and Buford.
