If you were paying attention to all that Luke Fickell was saying during his time at the Big Ten Media Days, you would have noticed one player's name kept coming out of his mouth: Austin Brown. Sure, he talked about Billy Edwards Jr., Rico Hallman, and Jake Renfro. The three guys he brought with him to Las Vegas. But it was a player he left at home that he mentioned by my count, three times.
He started talking about him in a conversation he had with Nick Osen during the open question time before his full podium presser.
