In the same statement, however, Meyer said he will "re-evaluate" Klein's status if those charges are dropped or reduced. On Monday, Klein's attorney, Larry James, worked to turn that thin ray of hope into a bright future for his client, telling a local television station, "I am pleased that the door remains open to return to the team and I believe it will work out in Storm's favor." To the local paper of record, the Columbus Dispatch, James was more emphatic: "I believe when this is said and done, this will be resolved in Storm's favor, with an exclamation mark."
Buckeye fans and other interested readers may remember James from his entertaining turn last summer in defense of another exiled starter, quarterback Terrelle Pryor, on whose behalf James threatened to sue ESPN over an especially damaging report and compared NCAA rules against compensating athletes to slavery. (James also claimed, contrary to all available evidence and Ohio State's own admission, that he was unaware of any NCAA violations by Pryor "over the last couple of years that we have uncovered.") Needless to say, Pryor was not exonerated or reinstated, and has not pursued any sort of legal action.
Klein, a senior, started 10 games last year at middle linebacker, finishing ninth on the team with 45 total tackles, but appeared to lose ground this spring under the new coaching staff; on the initial post-spring depth chart, he was listed as a backup at the Mike position behind touted sophomore Curtis Grant.
