RB Warren Ball (transfer to Akron)

[TheStoicPaisano]

I really like this kid and his ability, but so much depth, and Elliott is starting to emerge... I'm hoping ball can get looks in the special teams at least

Ball was on punt coverage versus Iowa. He and Farris were the only two healthy, non-redshirting players not listed on the PSU participation report, but I'll look closer tonight now that I have the feed.

Per the game notes, Warren will be honored on Senior Day and end his Buckeye playing career after the Bowl season. Reading between the lines, Dunn will be back in 2016.

Any news on Bell? He coming back?

Continuing the tradition, Meyer is only honoring seniors. Very, very rare for early NFL departures to walk on senior day, largely because they haven't made a decision that early.

Corey Smith is NOT listed, so I can only presume the staff will submit paperwork asking for a sixth year given his early injury.

I wasn't referring to V. Bell. I was talking about our 3rd team RB, you know Bell.

Right over my head.

Presumably, he will retire and hangout with legends Craig Kressel, Barn Childress and two fullbacks named Brandon. But perhaps he makes the NFL like Rod Jones? Hard to say.

He'll never be as good as San Antonio Holmes.

No, we didn't. We had one guy named Joe Schnittker.

Been a long time since I've heard about Ball. 11W's scholarship breakdown by recruiting class and position completely neglects to mention his name. Is he still with the program?

Believe his 5th year was not renewed and he walked on Sr Day.

Warren Ball, 6-1 RB from Ohio State will graduate and transfer to UA to play for @ZipsFB, according to a source.

FEAR THE ROO BABY

Good luck to Warren at Akron.

If anyone wonders how Urban plans to "make the numbers work" for 2017 recruiting, one need look no further than 5th-year seniors-to-be that have produced little on the field.

 

[starBUCKS]

Good luck Warren! Hoping for a great 5th year!

 

[Buckeye737]

This seems like a win-win situation. Ball is no slouch and deserves a chance to kick some butt on the field. I'm glad to hear it's going to happen at an Ohio MAC school.

Yeah. If it means that flexibility requires they graduate in time, get their degree and take advantage of the grad transfer rule.... I'd say urban is keeping up his end of the deal.
