  1. C Kaleb "Bully" Wesson ('18 All B1G Freshman, '19 Honorable Mention All B1G, '20 2nd Team All B1G)

    People tell him to lose weight to improve his quickness and jumping. While less weight will certainly improve those areas, much of ones athletic potential is determined by genetics and his genetics are not in his favor. It is good to hear how seriously he took the off season training and it...
  2. '21 MN C Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga Verbal)

    Its crazy enough that a 7 footer has those kinds of ball skills, then you add that he is only entering his junior season and you wander how he isn't #1 in the class. Obviously needs to add strength and weight, but no reason to think those things won't come.
  3. C Zed "Finger Guns" Key (transfer to Dayton)

    I don't agree that Key plays a similar game. Kaleb throws his weight around to get position and is quite a bit bigger. Key relies more on footwork and hustle.
  4. C Zed "Finger Guns" Key (transfer to Dayton)

    Yeah, if we don't add another big, I tend to think we will see a lot of Liddell/Gaffney/Young playing in the front court (2 at a time). The only center we will have on the team is Diallo and I think he needs a few years to be a viable option.
  5. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    My prediction was 3rd or 4th. The B1G isn't that strong this year. Recruiting has been subpar over the last few cycles and a fair amount of talent walked out the door last year. I believe only 4 players from the 3 all conference teams return. And while we return more than most of the teams...
  6. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    If third is the consensus, then why wouldn't that be the even betting line?
  7. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    Yep, everyone is replacing someone, but we were 8-12 in conference last year, 7-8 games behind Purdue and Mich. I do think with what some of those teams lost that we will definitely move up. I think the difference between 3rd-7th is how good the guys are that we've never seen play in an OSU...
  8. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    Its tough to say where to put us given that new faces will be playing significant roles. I could see as high as second to as low as 7th in the league. If I had to guess right now, I'd probably have us 3-4 in the league and 20-25 in the country. I think Carton and Liddell are ready physically...
  9. SG Eugene Brown (Transfer to Georgia Southern)

    I don't follow recruiting as close as many and hadn't read a thing about Brown until it was mentioned that he is committing today and likely to be us. From the couple of articles I read, he seems like a really well grounded young man and someone that will really work within the team. I don't...
  10. SG Eugene Brown (Transfer to Georgia Southern)

    Its being reported that Brown is announcing today at noon and Rivals (Corey Evans) seems to indicate its OSU.
  11. OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

    Do you think that means Moody is out too?
  12. C Zed "Finger Guns" Key (transfer to Dayton)

    You mean other than being shorter, lighter and less skilled. Thats not necessarily meant to be a crack on Key because Sully was a top 5 player coming out of HS, 1st team All-American as a frosh and quite possibly a top 5 pick in the NBA draft had he come out as a frosh (not sure if his back...
  13. OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

    Again "semenatics", but you meant "most of the nations best 110 players". Key was not among that group before the camp and after the camp while his rankings have risen, his collective ranking is 160ish. Also, the camp was mostly made up of 2020 players, but there were some from 2021 and 2022...

    If Diebler can do it, no excuse for a high d1 caliber athlete not to be able to, though I did exclude bigs.
  15. OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

    Might just be semantics, but from what I read Key was one of the most "productive" players in terms of rebounding and offensive efficiency, not that he rated as one of the best prospects. From the videos I watched, he was clearly on the bottom end athletically for the pf/c group. And just to...
  16. OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

    I think Key has a solid game, but my question is the style we plan to play and what position he fits at (seems very "tweenerish" to me). He has said he isn't a center (he is a bit undersized for the position), implying that he has no interest in playing it, but he's not a get up and down the...
  17. 2019-2020 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

    Boeheim wants it because if it takes 5-7 seconds to get into your offense, that leaves only 12-14 seconds to break down his zone defense to get a decent shot. I didn't like it when they went to the 30 second clock. 35 seems like a good number after change of possession and maybe knock it down...
  18. Police/Legal Blotter (Quit breaking the law!)

    The possibility is over finding whether she lied or not. Again, the third outcome, jury finds she was truthful (or not enough evidence she lied) but no crime occurred. My point is this. I don't think most women who go to the police and to trial make up their stories, but some do and...
  19. Police/Legal Blotter (Quit breaking the law!)

    "or accuser was honest, but jury feels no crime occurred." My proposal is if the jury believes the accuser lied. The argument against would be more one of "due process" than a standard for guilt. I believe if you are going to accuse someone of criminal activity, you need to be completely...
  20. Police/Legal Blotter (Quit breaking the law!)

    cases like cleaves need to go to the jury with 3 possible outcomes. defendant was guilty of the charge, accuser was lying and gets punished, or accuser was honest, but jury feels no crime occurred. In this case, it seems the woman was either lying or he committed rape. The jury should have to...
