What are your thoughts on Maurice Clarett possibly leaving early to go to the NFL?
There are so many extenuating circumstances involved in any particular decision made by an individual such as family and finances. The world I grew up in is a little different than what some of these kids grow up in. They dont have the means or the substance that some of us were used to when we were younger. That is a decision that he should sit down, obviously, with Jimmy Tressel, who is a wonderful person, and will give him the best advice he can give him and then it is up to the kid. He is a great football player. I am not worried about what he is going to do next year, but what he is going to do this Saturday. That is my concern. I dont know what is best. We have had guys who left early but not after their freshman year. In most cases, with kids like Mike Munchak, Todd Blackledge and Ki-Jana Carter and those kinds of kids, I felt that it was in their best interest to leave early. Obviously, it wasnt after their freshman year. What has made Maurice Clarett so successful thus far? Ca
