Jordan Whiting headed back home. As Ian told you yesterday, the Kentucky-born linebacker is transferring to Louisville. After sitting this year, he'll have only one year of eligibility left to play.
He never got the playing time he expected as a four-star recruit, as he could never move up the depth chart. Despite being part of Tatgate, he seems to be a fine young player and gentleman, tweeting thanks to Coach Tressel and AD Gene Smith. Best of luck, Jordan.
Another DB coach? Yep, and again Ian's on top of it. I really need to quit my job so I can get these awesome breaking stories. Or not...Anyhow, Kerry Coombs comes north from the University of Cincinnati to fill Bill Sheridan and Taver Johnson's shoes. Coombs led Colerain High to a state championship in 2004, so he certainly knows his way around recruiting. However, considering he's the third guy to hold the DB job in about six weeks, chances are he'll be hired as a head coach somewhere in a few weeks...
New book on the shelves next week. Mark Titus entertained a bunch of people when he blogged about not playing for Coach Matta at Club Trillion. Now, he's publishing a memoir, Don't Put Me In, Coach, that will be released next Tuesday. Well, his new employer has released an excerpt.
Yep, Titus is getting paid to write, and Grantland has excerpted a couple funny stories from the Final Four run. Looks like a good read, for which my cheap underpaid ass will be waiting for arrival at the local library.
Four o'clock Sunday, in East Lansing. That's when this B1G basketball title will be settled. CBS if you're going to watch it. Chances are, like almost EVERY year, I'll be in the car, with the kids, so it's a toss up between 97.1, or Bieber. I think the Bieber CD will get "stuck" in the stereo, unable to play...
Since I didn't get much response last week, I'm going to plead again. I need help. I am looking to profile former Buckeyes that have done great things off the field. Perhaps a player that never went pro, but is doing awesome things in their community. Or perhaps is running an innovative business. Give me some names. No, I'm not looking to interview Art Schlichter or Ray Small. Comment below, or hit me up on Twitter @tonn_chris.
