Agreed, they each had their own reasons for what seemed an apparent dislike of some of their time here, but all were Buckeyes. I think Cook wanted more playing time, Koufos had expected Dallas to be good enough to help in the low post so he could show off his mid-range and three point shot as well as his passing ability.
That said, Cook seems to have some cockiness that will help him in the long run and KK seems to have a bit of a mean streak as well.
BJ is the one that concerns me the most, because I'm just not sure why he did not seem to be happy here. I obviously have no idea of his role in team chemistry, and if I remember right a player, I think Diebs, spoke very highly of his love of tOSU and unselfishness when it came to the team. I hope the young man has that killer edge under the surface, because the NBA is a league for men, and it will be unforgiving if he lacks the desire to exceed and to crush his foes on the court. And given the situtations the NBA coaches are in, win now or get fired, they may not have the patience for him to develop his talent.
I hope in a few years to be rooting all of the former tOSU bball players on including, hopefully some 2, 3, and 4 year players, they all have my best wishes for their futures.
