+1. I really hope he can move on and at least try to make something of himself.

I'll take the over. He had a blog when he was locked up and he sounds like a changed man. I'll go out on a limb and say he stays out of trouble all together.

It's easy to forget now, with all the off the field issues he has had, how good of a running back he was. As a true freshman he ran for like 1200 yards despite missing three or so games with an injury. If he would have just kept his mouth shut and played football he would have been another of OSU's all time great running backs.
I wish, if he was in shape he'd be a starter. Clarett was the most talented RB I've ever seen at OSU. He was the truth.....

Really? Better than Eddie G. and Robert Smith?
I guess I didn't pay enough attn to MoC when he was on the field. I know he was legit, but most talented you've seen @ OSU?

...that talent wasn't enough for the NFL. Many teams passed on him because he didn't have that "burst."

He'd also been out of football for over two years at the point and put on considerable weight. Dude was a beast when he was a freshman.
I dont buy the whole Prison changed them bit...I'm not saying for some it doesn't work, but he was locked away from all his former friends and all the bad stuff he was into, anyone would have time to think. If he can stay out of trouble now then, maybe he really changed.

heh heh...I'm sorry the guy is a loser and I could not care one bit less if he does well for himself or not. The way he tried to make the OSU program into the bad guy when he was trying to leave early says it all about the guy. They gave him the chance and he did it all for them for his 1 year there...until he tried to backstab his way into the NFL early when they said he couldn't go. Rules are rules bro...who the **** are you to change them. The guy is a joke.

I was always surprised to hear "pundits" say he wasn't that fast. He always looked to have an amazing burst off the ball and hit the holes quick as hell. And he was obviously "field-smart", as well, as shown by the awareness to cause that fumble after Miami/FL got that INT or fumble.
I was impressed by his blog. Although I usually regard blogs for what they are--ranging from the egomaniacal ravings of semi-literate left-wing nuts to the self-aggrandizement by the self-important--MoC's blog hinted STRONGLY of real change within his heart. No blaming the coaches, university, agents, friends, etc. He took responsibility, owned his mistakes and set out to find his path in life.
And, NO, he does NOT have eligibility!
