Talent wise is a mistake , money wise it ain't. |

I would be shocked if he plays much in the NBA.
He will do about as well as Brad Sellers...., play 5 or 6 seasons, just because he is tall he will be on someone's roster... and he'll build his scoring average from 1.7 pts a game to about 5.5 and that will be about it.
I guess he just didn't enjoy college ball all that much.
I hope I'm wrong!

I agree - but the question is not if he is ready for the NBA but if he is ready for the money.
If the NBA wants to pay him the bucks it is their problem how long he takes to come around. If they don't want to pay him there is always Greece. |

I hope that Kosta is the last "one and done" player we recruit and I hope his leaving will not have a negative impact on our APR.
Good luck, Kosta.

Steve - per Bruno at Ohio State: No impact on APR from Koufos departure.
(And Oden's earlier departure not expected to negatively impact as a result of improvement plan).
Quote:
Kosta Koufos is leaving Ohio State, but his early departure won't cost the Buckeyes a men's basketball scholarship, at least for now. A deficient Academic Progress Rate caused in part by Greg Oden's exit last year won't result in a lost scholarship, either.
OSU professor John Bruno, the university's faculty athletics representative, said yesterday that the NCAA has accepted Ohio State's academic improvement plan for men's basketball. Bruno said the NCAA has informed the school it likely won't be penalized for its expected deficient APR when scores are released Wednesday.
"If indeed the findings that are going to come out May 7 indicate we would be subject to a loss of a scholarship, then the recent acceptance of our academic improvement plan would erase or postpone the loss of that scholarship," Bruno said. "Even if the numbers are bad, we are not subject to a penalty."
