Sylvester Mayes (official thread)

Beyond basketball....I hope he continues his college education and gets a degree down the road......it didn't work out here but I hope he just doesn't quit. Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye.

I guess he can sit out a year and then play one... Not sure where he'd go though....

I think his best bet would have been to stay on scholie, play one more year, get his "free" degree and move along in life. I'm not convinced this was best for him in the long run (I think it's safe to say he will not be playing in the nba... a good degree is what he needs, which osu would have provided)...

I'll agree to agree. If I'm not mistaken, that is the mature rationale that Justin Zwick has stated for his staying at Ohio State, and I think it's a good one.

I recently read somewhere that he wants to transfer to a div 2 school so he can play next year. I'd think sitting a year somewhere to get his academics and game back might be more beneficial. Hope he turns his career around somewhere.

Man...you are an optimist.

Just heard on 1460 The Fan that Mayes has signed a contract to play professionally in Germany. I wish him good luck and hope he does well.
