Do you have inside info, or are you basing it off of the dispatch articles?

I have no inside information or I would not be posting it. It has come from everything that I have read that has quoted Evan and his mother:) all of my reading does not come from the Dispatch so you might say it is from people who are a little closer to those situation:wink2:

Not saying that I don't think he will come back, but the Dispatch quote from his mother could be interpreted as she believes he should declare.

You can interpret his mother's comments and you can interpret Evan's comments anyway that you would like to but I feel very strongly that he will be coming back and we shall see when it comes to the decision day in about a month.

Since I have exactly zero inside information I certainly hope you're right. I guess I'm just somewhat cautious after reading his mother's comments.

Men's basketball: Turner returning to OSU, mom says
Saturday, April 25, 2009
By Bob Baptist
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

True to his word, Ohio State sophomore Evan Turner has no plans to file paperwork for early entry to the NBA draft before the deadline passes at midnight Sunday, his mother said yesterday.

"I'm definitely not filing anything," Iris James of Chicago said. "Nothing has changed to date. He's going to be back there."

Turner, a 6-foot-7 guard-forward, was an honorable mention All-American and led Ohio State in scoring, rebounds, assists and steals last season. Mock drafts have projected him as a mid-first-round pick in the draft if he entered.

But Turner said repeatedly late in the season that he would return for his junior year.

That commitment was underscored within the past two weeks, his mother said, when she purchased, through the NCAA, a disability insurance policy for Turner protecting him in case of a career-ending injury before he turns pro.

"We wanted to make sure he's definitely taken care of should he get hurt," James said.

She declined to divulge the amount of the policy, which is set by the NCAA based on Turner's projected standing in the draft. Policy values range from $500,000 to $5 million for first-round draft picks. Premiums are not due until the player signs a pro contract, exhausts his college eligibility or is ruled medically unable to play again.
