With spring drills in the rearview mirror at Ohio State, Urban Meyer and his staff feel it necessary to inform each one of their players where they stand as the program turns its head toward the long haul of summer.
"Arguably, this is the most important offseason," Meyer said. "We just had a long staff meeting."
Ohio State's head coach and a group of assistants — Larry Johnson, Kerry Coombs, Zach Smith, Tim Beck, Greg Schiano, Tony Alford and Luke Fickell — halted their meetings with players in their position groups to speak to reporters at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center Wednesday.
