Basketball Preview: Other players to keep an eye on

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 11/14/07
Don't sleep on these players, flying under the radar.

Trae Golden, McEachern: He burst onto the scene last season as a freshman while helping the Indians to a 23-4 record. Slowed some by a leg injury, the 6-foot-2 sophomore was second on the team in scoring at 16.5 points per game. A very unselfish player, he averaged 4.5 assists per game while shooting 45 percent from 3-point range. He has already committed to signing with Ohio State.

Good article by Kyle Lamb that offers a little background info on Trae.

PS. Nice tidbit about Thomas at the end as well.

He kinda reminds me of an OJ mayo type player, not necessairly a PG, but has the vision of a pg and takes care of the ball well, and shoots the ball very well...This is just a quick little video so hard to really get a read on him whether is he more of a combo guard or a pg...But he is silky smooth off the bounce, the ease that he reads the floor and makes great passes, and has a lot of quicks to go with his game...Very good player...

Yeah, that gym reminded me of Freshman basketball in Rhode Island. Anyways, I love the idea of an early commited PG. Hopefully he is continually working on other players during tournaments in tOSU behalf.

Kyle Lamb reports that Trae may be opening up his recruitment.

[crazybuckfan40]

No reason to worry IMO...Kid is a buckeye...Much like with the Thomas situation IMO...

[Buckskin86]

Ohio State coaches have invited a bunch of recruits -- committed or otherwise -- to sit behind the bench Sunday for the Indiana game. One who won't be there is 2010 commitment Trae Golden, a point guard from Powder Springs, Ga. But it won't be because Golden has softened his commitment to Ohio State and is "exploring other options," as an Internet message board reported last week. "That's not right at all," Golden said yesterday. "I'm 100 percent Ohio State." The reason he won't be here Sunday, he said, is because "it's so far" from his home and he has school Monday.

Wondered the same thing, as I heard Trae has Ohio roots and I don't think Golden is that common of a name. It'd be nice to have a couple of Golden's at tOSU during these Golden days of tOSU sports
