The coaches have to decide on how to address 285 in the short and long term. They work with Dunn, Borst, Allen and Smeltzer (doesn't Ty call them the "corn-fed boys" ?) and have a ton of film and info on Howard, so they have a better data-set than any of us do. I do recall Robie talking about Dunn stepping up his training in the early fall (after our flirtation with Mason Parris), so it wouldn't be outside the realm of reason to look for a short term fix at HWT. As far as OSU, there's no info, but (adds my Trump voice) everyone knows Dlagnev is doing great things with their HWTs.

That said, with a strong off-season, Dunn could regain the momentum he had as late as December.

For the record, I generally shy away from forecasts (except for 9 qualifiers) and think we we've got a first rate coaching staff that certainly has a better feel for the options than I.
