positions OFF

captain,
Some of those positions I think are off. I also think only Oden will be 2&done while you have many leaving after 2 years.

Koufos has been told he will play the 4 spot ( PF ) by the staff and with his outside skills that is likely. He will not be backing up Oden - they will likely play together on the frontline. He may help out at C as a Soph or later but I think he'll be mostly a 4.

Also, Lauderdale is projected as a C in the TD-sized mold. He has a big wingspan and the size/strength/bulk to play 5.

Lewis and Cook will not both be at 2G this year as they both will likely start and Harris will likely return to the 4 if he wants any PT - particularly while Oden is out. Butler will play some 2G his last two years with Conley.

At this point I think Oden for 2 years is wishful thinking. I would love for it to happen, and if there is a kid that can be that good and still want to stay in college another year even tho he could be the number one draftpick it would be Greg, but I think the wrist injury has opened his eyes in the fact that he won't want to risk an injury staying a second year.

O yeah and BTW when was the last time Matta recruited a player that wasnt ranked in the top 100.:biggrin:

'08 SF (#2 SF, #19 nat) Terrell Pryor has been offered a football scholarship by Tressel (6'6" 4.4 :yow2:). That would be an incredible bonus player for Thad, without burning a schollie.

Imgaine if we got Pryor and he played both football and basketball at OSU...that would be a nasty possible class in '08. Offutt (#92 in Rivals Top 100 for 2008), Mullens (#3), Buford (#49) with Crater (#24) and Gates (#16)/Roe (#5)...my goodness.
