Even though we have plenty depth in the frontcourt, I thought he was a talented player that could have helped our squad. I look for him to do very well at OSU. Strong player with face up abilities which includes a nice stroke from the outside for a man of his size. I will trust Coach knows what is best, but there are two other guys I would have got rid of before him. Even though he might have very well been the more talented player than some others, that may not have been what decided who got that last spot of the returning players. Maybe it was the idea to keep someone who's postition is not as deep in case of injury. Who knows, I may be way off. You just never really know what all plays in these decisions.; ▶ Reply to This
