Kentucky is the team to worry about here with Golden in my opinion.
As far as other notable PG's in 2010 that OSU may have an interest in.
Taran Buie from NY and I wouldn't count out Juwan Staten a UD commitment especially if Payne gives OSU a verbal.

2010 point guard rescinds commitment
Coach Thad Matta fell in love with Trae Golden?s game after seeing him play last year, and the love translated into a commitment from the Powder Springs, Ga., point guard in October, after he visited the Ohio State campus and attended a football game with fellow 2010 recruits who also had committed.
This past spring, though, rumblings that Golden is not Matta?s prototype point -- think Mike Conley Jr. -- began surfacing. Golden was said to be more of a scoring point, a la Brent Darby or Jamar Butler. He wasn?t even the primary setup man on his AAU team.
Golden must have heard the whispers, or at least heard that Matta was pursuing another 2010 point prospect, because he told Rivals.com today he has rescinded his commitment to the Buckeyes and reopened his recruitment.
?I talked it over with my parents and thought that maybe I rushed into it. I maybe made my decision a little too early. I think maybe I didn't make it for the right reasons,? Golden, whose father is an Ohio State graduate, told Rivals.

After reading the BN article and his mom's words, I came away disappointed. She spoked about how his ranking dropped and that he wasn't rated at the same position since he committed. IMO, it shouldn't matter what rank you come in at, or how heralded you are during your junior and senior seasons. All that will matter is how you play ball on the court, THAT will be your legacy. You can throw the magazines out the window, because those don't mean jack when you lace up and have the rock in your hand, playing against the best collegiate programs in the nation.
That said, I hope this guy comes back to OSU. I know its hard to chose a college and be 100% sure, but he shouldn't be worried. He will get great coaching and great opportunities here. Also, if he is taking his recruiting as a business approach, then him and his family should know that so is our coaching staff, and his decommitment is the reason why we are still going after other kids at his position. |

Groce? The recent KK situation? Thinking we don't have enough love by going after other kids in the same position?

There were rumors about this for awhile...Didn't really think anything would come about from it...
Really not sure how interested Trae still is...I am sure they will try and get a feel about him, and see where they might be with him...
Could see the class ending up with Johnson/Sibert/Wright/Thomas/Sulllinger/Payne...
