If Cris Carter has his way, his son’s stay away from Ohio State will be a relatively short one.
Duron Carter, son of the Buckeye legend and NFL great, withdrew from Ohio State last week after stumbling academically and enrolled at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. While admitting that there’s already been considerable interest in his wide receiver son from other schools, Cris Carter told the Columbus Dispatch that the goal is for Duron to earn his Associates Degree and return to Columbus in time to play for the Buckeyes in 2011.
“We’re Buckeyes, man,” Cris Carter, whose wife graduated from OSU and has a daughter committed to play soccer there, said. “He will get re-recruited, but right now Duron’s family’s plan is for him to re-enroll at Ohio State next June.”
Cris Carter hopes this temporary setback will serve as a lesson for his son.
“I and Duron’s mother want nothing more than any other parents want for their 18- or 19-year-old kid,” the former receiver said. “Grow up. Be responsible. Make a contribution. Be a giver in life, not a taker.”
I like the sound of that.
Even an inanimate object couldn’t get into “academic trouble” at OSU. The school is a joke.
You’re a joke. Quit drinking the hater-ade…
You’re a joke if you’re still living in the 60s and think OSU is a bad school…18th ranked public school in the nation (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-top-public) and 53rd overall (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/page+3)…..not to mention highly ranked medical, law, dental, and business schools
Hey mrqtte! Where did you go to school? Did you go to the Farmers University of Central Kansas or maybe the South Houston Institute of Technology?
Haha. The white trash from OSU is getting riled. Love it!
bravo mrqtte! lol well done. let the pasty northerners unite!
Hey Carter, makign your uneducated kid can play one of those vuvuzal’s! I heard OSU considers that a major! After that you and him can get a beer or two together!
I love that Carter is not making excuses for his son.. He’s holding his kid accountable which is extremely rare now a days… Parents are quick to blame anyone but the kid or themselves..
Good work Chris..
Haha. Mrqtte is acting like the total clown he is. I love it!
It’s all mrqtte has. Lord knows he/she won’t get any satisfaction on Saturdays.
Even if OSU had bad academics, I bet the students would still be able to count to…………
2,406
Majors at OSU include cow tipping and tipping over and lighting cars on fire. Nice graduation rate. Your recruits are being shot. Quality. Losers.

So, UM players are dumber and less talented than at the more-prestigious school to the south.
And your mascot is almost extinct. Talk about a great metaphor.

Chris Carter has always been a stand up guy. He had his wild side so he does know what this is all about. Hopefully Duron will listen to his father, do what needs to be done, and get back to Ohio State where he belongs!!!
Good Luck Duron
