Wait and see on new Buckeye's QB

I wonder who will take this post the wrong way.
Let me preface by saying I am not being critical of the young man.
I am excited about Wayne High School quarterback Braxton Miller verbally committing to play for The Ohio State University.
But excited is as far as I will go. The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder is either the No. 1 or No. 2 quarterback in the Class of 2011, depending on which scouting service you believe. And just as a quick sidebar, if guys from scouts.com and rivals.com know that much, why aren't they working for one of the top college programs?
Anyway, back to Miller.
He apparently has the tools to be a successful major college quarterback. Florida and OSU were his final 2 choices but since Florida signed the other No. 1 quarterback in the nation, and since Miller has an OSU tattoo on his arm, it was pretty obvious. He reportedly didn't even make an official visit to Florida.
But excited is as far as I will go.
Miller has done some great things at Wayne. But he has missed some games due to injury so I have to keep that in the back of my mind.
But the real reason for my tempered optimism is history. Remember Justin Zwick, Buckeye fans? He came to Columbus with all the fanfare and hoopla and stunk worse than the men's room at Papa Joe's on campus.
Remember Ron Powlus, Notre Dame fans?
He was the Parade Magazine prep player of the year in 1992 and the USA Today offensive player of the year. An ESPN analyst predicted Powlus would win three Heismans. He couldn't even win three bowl games.
Powlus was more hype than anything. Yes, he held 20 school records before a man named Brady came along but he never won a bowl game and averaged around 165 passing yards a game in 46 games.
I'm not just basing my thoughts on those two can't-miss players who missed badly. It's taken Terrelle Pryor almost 2 full seasons to even start to live up to the hype he received. And there are others at various positions who were all hype.
Let's just hope Jim Tressel hasn't put all his Buckeyes in one basket with Miller.
I hope he wins multiple championships for OSU. But I'm gonna let things play out. Once bitten, twice shy.

Izzo a mistake for Cleveland, any NBA team
I'm going to be brutally honest here. Tom Izzo is not a NBA-caliber coach. Yes, he has an NCAA championship and multiple trips to the Final Four since taking over at Michigan State. But some coaches are meant to coach in college, not the NBA -- Lon Kruger, Mike Montgomery, John Calipari, Rick Pitino.
Izzo is another. He is what I call a "system coach." He runs a specific type of offense and gets players who fit in well. He gets a lot of 4 and 5 star players, but they fit the system and/or adapt to what Izzo does.
Other than Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach and maybe, just maybe Jerry Sloan and Gregg Popovich, how many NBA coaches are true "system coaches?"
It doesn't happen. In the NBA teams are built around 1 or 2 superstars who pretty much take over at crucial times.
Izzo would last one or two seasons in the NBA and then be back in college where he can be at his best. His type of team and style of play won't work with today's over-paid, pampered, ego-filled, money-driven NBA players. The first time Izzo calls a play for a non-superstar, which he does often at MSU, it will turn into a soap opera at the Q.
He needs to stay in East Lansing.
