    Marurice came to Ohio State with a lot more baggage than most of us realized. He was spoiled rotten by his high school laurels and was pretty much of a loner. He never hung out with the rest of the players.

    He was an embarrassment to Andy Geiger, coach Tressel and the university.

    I will give him credit for turning his life around. Supposedly Jim Tressel stayed in touch with him through the difficult times as well.

    He easily could have become a danger to himself and society. Looks like a happy ending.
