'08 NV PF Luke Babbitt (Nevada Verbal)

[OSU_Buckguy]

at the 32-team arizona cactus classic, babbitt is the 10th leading scorer (18.8 ppg). he has shot 60% overall (29/49), 33% from 3 (5/15), and 80% from the free throw line (12/15). he has also grabbed 6 rebounds per game.

He also outplayed Terrance Jennings in their head to head game and he is the #4 rated PF on Rivals...

Also I thought it was interesting how the Arizona site was writing about him and said that even tho he is already committed they thought he was impressive enough just to give him a shout...

Also the main rivals guys havent even mentioned anything about him, even tho he has been one of the most impressive players there...

While certainly not the end of the world, this is some disappointing news. Good luck either way, Luke.

I'm guessing he wanted to be near his immediate family. Can't say I blame him. I'm sure Thad was notified a while ago.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. If you know you want to stay home...why not decide that before you are verballed to a school (for almost a year) thus forcing them to pass on other guys who have since verballed elsewhere?

A little bit heated with Luke on this one...

Report: Galena basketball star to play for Wolf Pack in '08

Luke Babbitt is staying home after all.

Neither Ohio State nor Nevada, under NCAA rules, can talk about Babbitt.

"I think it's good," Mauer said. "I think he got caught up in the fact that his grandparents live in Ohio and the Ohio State ties that he has."

Mauer pointed out that Babbitt is good kid who doesn't smoke or drink and is very family oriented.

"I think he wants to play in front of his family and be by his friends," Mauer said.
