Just for the clarification it was a stress fracture to his foot, and he played through it...Thus the reason for the cut in his numbers...

I am afraid that we are going to get an APR hit because of KK leaving while ineligible and Wallace transferring. Maybe I will be wrong if BJ and Buford stay until Spring quarter is over.

No worries about Wallace he finished the spring quarter here...Saw him with his superman book bag, the last week of classes...

I don't think we will lose one tho...

Kellogg, Jackson in the house

Ohio State?s annual team camp this weekend will include a couple of second-generation Buckeyes.

Nick Kellogg, son of Clark and a rising junior at DeSales, will play in the 12-team event along with Traevon Jackson, son of Jim and a rising sophomore at Westerville South. Both are 6-foot-2 guards and on the radar of OSU coaches, though neither has been offered a scholarship.

Two other prospects expected at the camp are 6-9 forward Stephan Van Treese, a rising senior at Indianapolis Lawrence North, and 6-1 guard Marquis Teague, a rising sophomore at Indianapolis Pike. Lawrence North is the alma mater of Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr., who start summer classes at Ohio State next week and could be conspicuous attendees at the camp.
Games are Saturday and Sunday and will be played in the Schottenstein Center (main floor and auxiliary gym), St. John Arena and the Recreation and Physical Activity Center just east of Ohio Stadium.

Unless I missed a Brandon Jennings thread... I figured I'd just throw this in here.

Highly touted Arizona basketball signee Brandon Jennings may play in Europe if his standardized test results, expected next week, fail to meet NCAA requirements.
The nation's top point guard recruit told ESPN.com he "still wants to go to Arizona, but if things don't go right, I'm considering going overseas."
"Either (option) is good for me," Jennings told the Web site. "I just think I would develop more if I went overseas and I would have played pro ball for a year. But if I went to Arizona, we would have a good team because Chase (Budinger) is coming back"

Jennings may skip playing at UA

Anthony Johnson versus Sibert with Golden already in the class do we really need one of these guys and, if so, which one of them would be better suited to play with Golden.

If we land one of Payne or Hairston I would be just fine with either one of the ones that you mentioned...I like Sibert a little more from what I have heard and he is on the same team as Sullinger and Payne which would help with chemistry, but Johnson is more of the PG type which would allow Golden to play off the ball some...Sibert is a wing like Wright, with more explosiveness and athletic ability...

I would take Johnson.....and it is not even close.

If the NBA ever goes to a 2 year rule I see Europe as a serious alternative to a lot of kids. The good news - as a purist - is that those kids shouldn't be taking up schollies to begin with. But a lot of serious talent could go that route.
