If i remember correctly OSU just ran out of room for him.
Yeah, it'll be a small class...
OSU has/had room...they just gave a 'ship to last year's backup kicker. Plus Archie Griffin's kid, who was looking to walk-on. I think there was mutual parting of ways between OSU and Anderson. I think he has no intention of going to Morgantown and am stumped as to why he ever committed in the first place.

Springpractice is underway, and a colossal cocktease it will be. Rememberyour easy storylines that repeat throughout spring practice, and you'llbe fine.
OMG OUR OFFENSE RULES/DEFENSE SUCKS/REVERSE SCENARIO. Themost common neurosis surrounding your spring practice experience willbe the maddening attempt to divine out some kind of ironclad predictionabout the performance of one unit against each other. This will resultin you lying beneath an overpass passed out after drinking a wholebottle of liquor that came in a plastic jug with convenient carryinghandle. It usually looks something like this.
A. Wow, our secondary looks great!
B. Wait. Maybe our quarterback sucks.
C. Or maybe our secondary is just so good that they'd make anyone look good!
D. Or we're doomed to a season of pick sixes and haphazard quarterbacking.

Prevent the cycle from ever happening by counting to ten, breathingdeeply, and realize that from year to year the product doesn't changethat much for most colleges. This can be good, as in Oklahoma working Landry Jones into the same multiform offense that's carried Oklahoma through a successful decade-plus. He'll look good, he'll look bad, and come fall it will still be an Oklahoma Bob Stoops team.
This can also be bad, as in LSU still having Gary Crowton as offensive coordinator, which stays the same no matter how physical your practices might be. The general rule: son, don't you be so happy, and for heaven's sake don't you be so sad.
THIS [SKILL PLAYER] IS GOING TO HAVE A BREAKOUT SEASON. A.K.A.the "Dallas Baker Rule," where one player spends the better part ofspring practice snagging passes and stray aircraft out of the sky. Thiswill prompt the OMG BREAKOUT PLAYER tag, applied liberally by anyonewatching this physical specimen completely flex nuts in practice overhis teammates. Then, come fall, they will be buried on the depth chartand fail to produce in the limited opportunities they get.

This leads to multiple fan stresses. Does our coach not recognizethe gilded pony prancing before him? Why is the obvious not recognizedhere? DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT WINNING???

Two obvious coping strategies apply here. The first: your coach is asensible evaluator of talent, and knows things you do not. Perhaps thetalent is lazy, and fails to apply himself in the weight room andclassroom. Perhaps they have just murdered a local in a conveniencetiff over the store's lack of banana-flavored Laffy Taffy.* There arereasons, your coach knows them, and it's all really for the best.
The second: your coach is a moron. This can be a reasonableassumption in some cases, but should be used carefully, as thesecondary stress of having your program in their hands also leads toWindowCleanerCocktailLand
OUR OFFENSIVE LINE IS DECIMATED BY INJURY. Hush. Theoffensive line is always decimated by injury. Spring's the only timethey can admit it and get them spiked with the usual array of crutches,boots, screws, soldering paste, plaster, plastic splinting, air casts,bamboo scaffolding, inflatable supports for dry dock work, and variousbuttresses required to heal their gigantic superstructures.
Workers in this file photo busy themselves encasing Florida's 342 pound lineman Carl Johnson in the bamboo scaffolding that will hold him together for spring practice recovery.
Fact: one in every three offensive linemen spend spring in amedically induced coma, and will like grizzly bears surface from theirsleep to take part in summer workouts with a renewed vigor and healedwounds.That explains their inability to do interviews in the spring,the large number of snaps freshmen and sophomores get, and why May inmost college towns coincides with the wholesale demolition of grocerystores' meat sections. They're down about a hundred pounds after thelong nap, and need calories in a hurry.
So, yeah: the offensive line is decimated by injury. It usually is.
YOU WILL LOSE SOMEONE TO INJURY. Prepare thyself. It willhappen, and most likely to an ACL. Anytime people play football bonesand ligaments are paid into the general injury fund. You do not loseplayers to injury due to random luck. You lose them because God is anOld Testament God, and will later set you car on fire in adrive-through fireworks stand. This is clearly the only healthy way tothink of this situation. Entertain no other options.
NEW SYSTEMS WILL BE CONFUSING. We'd love to dispel all dreadhere. We would. We'd like to give you the case of a young coordinatorwho came to a major SEC school, overhauled a staid offense with a new,pro-style attack complete with reads and multiple formations, and thentook the league by storm even though his players called the attack"confusing" at first.
We'd love to do this, but more often than not "confusing" stays"confusing," and often becomes "muddled and ineffective andI-got-Phil-Fulmer-fired." If your players are saying this in spring,you have hired Dave Clawson as your offensive coordinator, or someother coach who will attempt to take your barely-academically-qualifiedathletes and mind**** them with eight thousand page playbooks. In thiscase, we only have one suggestion for the carnage that will follow.
*A killing offense, for sure, since Banana Laffy Taffy is the shiiiiiiit.
Wow...he finally made a decision.
Typical ESPN coverage for sure, the only show that reported anything was Outside the Lines when they had Kelly on there with Canzano a few weeks ago.Originally Posted by Fear The Ibis
The hell is going on up in Oregon? I didn't even realize it was that bad.
No ESPN coverage?Typical.@ the thought of our starting QB getting a burglary charge and there being no news coverage.
