AP does what his Coach and "helpers" tell him to do...

The issue with tOSU was more Sullinger than tOSU... He just didn't want to continue to play with him. All-Ohio Red is a good team, but they're not really that tight off the court... Several of the members really don't care for others that much personally...

T-shirts, signs lead to WVU inquiry
by Mike Casazza
Daily Mail sports writer

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia's compliance office is reviewing the possibility secondary NCAA violations were committed Friday at Mountaineer Madness.

Adreian Payne, a high school senior center from Dayton, Ohio, was on campus for an official visit. The student section inside the Coliseum brandished a variety of signs praising Payne and encouraging him to commit to the Mountaineers. Many wore T-shirts with "House of Payne" or "No Payne, No Gain" on them.

"It's currently under review," said Patrick Hairston, WVU's Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. "There are no violations that we are aware of at this point in time."

Michigan State has landed its fourth high school basketball recruit, all of whom will sign on November 11th. Adreian Payne of Dayton, Ohio's Jefferson High School is 6-9 and 215 pounds. He chose MSU over West Virginia, Kentucky and Arizona. He is rated #23 in the nation by ESPN. He joins Eaton Rapids' Alex Gauna, Fort Wayne, Indiana's Russell Byrd and Detroit Pershing's Keith Appling as players who will be freshmen with MSU next season.

Payne had another good game against OSU today (12 its, 15 boards), albeit in a loss. I don't know what it is about him and OSU, but I've watched him play a good number of games in his college career, and he seems to have an extra fire/desire to his game against OSU. Against other teams, he can look uninterested at times. It's a shame because if he played with the same fire he does against OSU in every one of MSU's opponents, the kid could be an All-American.

Having watched him play OSU only, I was shocked he wasn't a 1st team all big 10 performer.

Lacey Holsworth, the 8-year-old girl from St. Johns who battled a rare form of cancer for several years and befriended Michigan State star Adreian Payne, apparently died last night.

An Instagram account named missprincesslacey posted this message around 3 a.m.: “Princess Lacey has achieved the ultimate victory. She now dances among angels.... The world is a better place because you were in it. Our hearts are broken. We love you Doll. Dance all night... Mommy and Daddy, Will, Mitchell, and Luke💞 #LoveLikeLacey”

Shortly thereafter, MSU guard Gary Harris and former player Brandon Wood expressed their condolences on Twitter.

Holsworth became friends with Payne two years ago in a Lansing hospital and Payne got so close to Holsworth that she was his guest to walk onto the Breslin Center floor for his Senior Night ceremony last month.

Very sad.

I saw them live, the various times they were on the show, but throughout the day I've been trying to watch some of the segments of Lacey Holsworth from "The Journey" and had a tough time getting through them (at least the first couple minutes).

Just really sad, but also happy because it shows how many people were touched by her (if you see/read reaction).
