Cleaning out the Inbox


Tons of stuff from the inbox that has accumulated today,so right to it we go.

Ohio State looks to be set at quarterback for the foreseeable future as the top prospect of the 2011 quarterback class has committed to be a Buckeye.
Huber Heights Ohio's Braxton Miller looks to be the eventual replacement for Terrelle Pryor after a possible 2011 redshirt season.
The possible part is that the Buckeyes cannot be sure that Pryor will return for the 2011 campaign although it would serve him well to do so.
Watching the struggles of the player that Pryor is so often compared to in Vince Young,might that persuade Pryor to return to Columbus for his senior season?
It would be best for his development as a player,but that doesn't mean that money would not rule the day.

Ohio State also lost wideout Duron Carter to academic issues as Carter transferred to a Kansas JUCO to get things in order.
Carter caught the ball well,but wasn't exactly a speed burner.
The biggest concern for me is now OSU has just two experienced receivers on the roster in DeVier Posey and Dane Sanzenbacher.
That usually takes care of itself after a few games,but it still could be an issue.

Recently,the Harrisburg Patriot News looked at minor league stadiums in their radius and graded them using seven different areas of criteria.
Click here for their grades,but I have attended games at five of the nine facilities and my grades would be different.
I might do a similar post after the season when I can add three or four stadiums to my collection,but I would rate Frederick far higher than the writer did right off the bat...

This is an eleven day old post from Bucs Dugout,but this was very detailed and the author put so much research to it,I had to toss it into this spot.
"Vlad" looks at the Pirates draft picks and their signability from various points of research.
Other than our occasional guest here,Wilbur Miller,Vlad stands out as next in line as far as respected and knowledgeable Pirate fans in my opinion.

We wrap up with a very interesting look at how the Big 12 managed to work its way from its death bed to staying alive with this article from Orangebloods.com.
Well worth the read if this sort of thing interests you.

Back later with a look at the Pirates loss in Texas.
