My recent article on next year's Ohio State Buckeye receivers will be greatly tweaked, or should be. That's because I mentioned junior receiver Brian Hartline as a good possibility for returning to Ohio State for his senior year.
I was wrong.
Just under an hour ago, Big Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg sent out an article stating Hartline has joined Chris "Beanie" Wells as the second junior on the team to declare for the draft.
With Hartline leaving, this means the already young and inexperienced receiving corps will have to step up even more. More pressure will be on the shoulders of Ray Small, Dane Sanzenbacher, Duron Carter, DeVier Posey, and Lamaar Thomas.
It may not be the case, but this may sway the highly touted receiver Marlon Brown toward Ohio State. The departure of Hartline opens up the race for a leading receiver and a player of his caliber would surely get a lot of playing time. It makes sense, right?
It may also put more shoulders of the running game. That means "Boom" Herron, Brandon Saine, Jaamal Berry, and others will be getting more carries.
The passing game will surely be a sight to see come September.
