At the tOSU team camp this weekend, Mullens went up against another Buckeye verbal, Dallas Lauderdale and held his own, scoring 24 points in a losing effort. Also, Mullens went up against Kosta Koufos later in the day in another losing effort, reportedly having his hands full on the defensive end against Koufos.

Good to see him start coming in to his own. He has a ton of potential and is just starting to scratch the surface. That is impressive that he is able to score like that against Lauderdale.

He is only going into his junior year too.

At the Adidas SuperStar Camp....Mullens in the opinion of Telep made the most of his opportunities on both ends of the court and played well on Day 2.

At the Adidas Superstar camp....Mullens was selected for the All-Star game and scored 15 points.

I know I've said this before but I was little concerned about whether or not Mullens was a bit of a reach, being offered before his freshman season and all. Obviously though, this was just foreshadowing for the future, as Thad has obviously been able to identify which players he wants early on in the process and get them on board long before they are ready to enroll at OSU. It would not shock me to see a commit in the '09 class before the end of the year.

That has been the pattern since Matta has been here, its probably a good bet.

Mullens seems to be progressing nicely and he has been solid.

You've got three basketball camps, with around 150 at each camp. The majority of those are 07's and 08's, with a couple of 09's. To be named to the top 10 at any of these camps is easily the equivalent of saying that one is top 50 in the country, regardless of class.

Everything sounds really good for the Buckeyes from these camps, and BJ is obviously working hard to maintain his status as an elite center prospect.

A few times during the season I had the opportunity to sit a couple rows behind Mullens...I think he grew a few inches from start to finish
