Casey Cochran Committed Connecticut

This guy is a very productive, competent passer that possesses a live arm, good feet and above average athleticism. He reminds us of Rutgers QB Chas Dodd both in style and stature. The downside with Cochran is that he lacks ideal height, but does possess a significant amount of bulk.


Kris Dunn Signed with Providence


Dunn is a young and talented guard who is really just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential. The key for him is confidence; he finally believes he is a player. He has good versatility in the backcourt, able to play either guard position.


Stevie Johnson mocks Plaxico Burress

 Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson regretted his second-quarter touchdown celebration against the New York Jetss on Sunday in which he mocked Plaxico Burress by pretending to shoot himself in the thigh, calling it a "stupid" decision.

Columbus will be the fourth stop in the 47-year-old Meyer's coaching career. He had a 104-23 record over 10 seasons with Bowling Green, Utah and Florida. From 2001-10, he had five 10-win seasons, the two BCS titles with the Gators and a 7-1 record in bowl games -- including the Gators' 41-14 victory over unbeaten and top-ranked Ohio State in the 2007 title game.
