BuckeyeNation has more coverage of Ohio State:

Austin Ward writes: Freshmen are just learning how to practice right now, but Urban Meyer fully expects that a few members of his most recent recruiting class will be playing in the opener.

Ward and WolverineNation's Michael Rothstein write: Joint series between BuckeyeNation and WolverineNation and the Big Ten bloggers continues with a debate about the linebackers for the Buckeyes and Wolverines, and a surprising verdict.

Brad Bournival writes : ESPN 150 tight end Marcus Baugh, from California, committed to Ohio State even though he hadn't seen the school in eight years. He finally visited for the first day of practice, and left impressed.

Bournival writes : A Florida linebacker who is committed to the Gators leaves a sliver of hope for Ohio State, agreeing to make an official visit.

Ward writes: In this practice notebook, giving extra effort is a theme Meyer is pushing as practices begin in Columbus. And Meyer says TE Stoneburner and OL Mewhort will be back on scholarship in the fall, as expected.
