Former two-time Ohio State captain and three-time all-American James Laurinaitis is officially back with the program, this time as a coach. Laurinaitis was named a graduate assistant working with the linebackers.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com just wrote a new edition of his popular "What I Know, What I Think, What I Wonder" column for Buckeye Huddle subscribers, focused on the Laurinaitis hire, how it's both similar to and also very different from the hiring of Brian Hartline, and even discuss another former Buckeye who's working his way up through the coaching ranks.
