    He is nowhere near as bad as some of the others.....Jordan Hall should not be tweeting.

    It's really not terrible stuff, just the language basically that puts me off. Just comes off as uneducated. The other Buckeyes I follow(including TP) do a good job of thinking out their stuff before they post it.

    The next great DB at OSU will be Bryant imo.

    No more of a time bomb than any other teenager who tweets. It's always dumb to tell everyone on the planet what you do and think.

    Ray Small would make Jordan Hall look like a rhodes scholar.

    Yeah Jordan Hall isn't the most enjoyable Twitter to follow. He just posts a bunch of stupid ass rap lyrics that make him look like a gangster. He's not in Will Hill territory though lol

    Updates from yesterday's practice. It looks like Graham is last in the QB competition and Guiton is really impressing. Ozone had a good write up about practice too. I love the thought of using Jordan Hall and Rod Smith as WRs. They will be match up problems all day long.

    With Joe Bauserman missing reportedly because of a class, the other three Ohio State quarterbacks in the derby to replace Terrelle Pryor for the first five games of 2011 took up the slack without missing a beat in practice today.
    Sophomore Kenny Guiton, redshirt-freshman Taylor Graham and freshman Braxton Miller took turns during the brief full-team scrimmage situation the media got to watch on the indoor field, moved there because of the winds outside.
    Guiton seemed more in control running the offense. Graham flashed outside on one particular play, showing some wheels, only to have his pass picked off by Florida State transfer Dionte Allen with a diving catch.
    And Miller appeared more and more comfortable with each play he got to run, stepping up and out while keeping his eyes downfield on one play in particular before firing a pass. For a fellow just four months removed from high school, it seems he gaining a grip quickly.
    There was news with Pryor, too. He was wearing football cleats and throwing the ball some on the side, though he wasn't cleared to take part in actual practice since he is still recovering from post-season surgery to repair his injured right foot. But after having the stabilizing hardware removed his foot a few days ago with a minor surgical procedure, he no longer was wearing a protective boot.
    The first string offensive line that answered the initial call today included right tackle J.B. Shugarts, right guard Marcus Hall, center Michael Brewster, left guard Cory Linsley and left tackle Mike Adams. What's interesting about that, of course, is Adams -- like Pryor -- will be suspended for the first five games along with receiver DeVier Posey, running back Dan Herron and defensive end Solomon Thomas as their punishment for selling or trading memorabilia to a local tattoo parlor owner.
    The second team line, meanwhile, included Linsley at center, Andrew Norwell at left guard and Hall at left tackle at one point. It is line coach Jim Bollman's perogative to move fellows into different positions during the spring, with the intention of identifying the top seven or eight linemen overall. Whether he will settle on Adams' replacement before this month of work is done remains to be seen.
    During our viewing time, Allen was part of two of the more impressive plays. First there was his diving interception. Then came his collision with running back Carlos Hyde out in the right flat after Hyde caught a pass. The pop of the pads was all Hyde's as he ran over Allen.

    There's also reports that Keith Wells has been MIA and any roster spot that was thought that he might take previously is once again open.

    The jersey scrimmage was at the shoe on Saturday. Our RBs are apparently better WRs than our WRs. (Except Posey)

    If they are going to do nonsense with alternate uniforms and uniforms to honor old teams/the military, I would like to see them do it this way during the spring game. Or during a MAC matchup. 10 years from now my kid is going to ask what the heck Ohio State was thinking when they wore that garbage against Michigan

    Best quote from the article -

    The defenders were happy the quarterbacks were live for a change, as opposed to years past when Terrelle Pryor was off limits. Talking after the practice, however, Nathan Williams said he would sack Pryor even though he wasn't supposed to because Pryor needed it.

    Just as an FYI, a very reliable Buckeye insider just posted a warning of very, very bad news coming for the OSU program. No idea what it could be, but this guy is usually right. Let's hope he is wrong this time.

    Dude asked to have it removed. All the other insiders locked threads on respective messege boards about it. It is purely rumor and I think not a very good one. The guy that posts it love posting "inside" info, he has more insight than the average joe but not more than a lot of other posters on other sites who would probably know first.

    Good to hear. He was almost always correct during recruiting season, so it had me alarmed.

    I will wait and see, he could be right. A lot of his recruiting info other "insiders" usually have a good feeling about whether or not they will be buckeyes about the same time, so its hard to say where he gets his info or how. He was dead wrong a couple of times in the past on kids like Sharriff Floyd and Tajh Boyd. Anyone with a scout subscription? There is a thread on there but can't read it, just curious if any "insiders" posted on that one.
