By far.. Oden had the size and athleticism, injuries really hurt him however. Sullinger is just a beast. I can't wait to see what he will do against MeatChicken!

If we had Turner this year.......
Even without him this year we're a real factor for the ship.

Let the cards fall...
Sullinger is the best freshman hoops player that I have every seen at OSU. Keep in mind, I haven't been around to see them all..........but he is incredible.

The crazy part is that (at this point) he's planning on returning next year because of the lockout.
It's a great time to be a Buckeye.

Just having fun
I really wonder how big Sullinger. Going back through the thread there was concern when he was a 6'6" freshman and how he needed to grow to play inside.
He reminds me of Charles Barkley more than Al Horford, Elton Brand which are guys who he seems to be compared to.
Per the roster they list him:
6'9" 280, that seems to be a big embellishment.

The Mayor understands how to play the post. He uses his body to hold his position and receive the pass. For a freshman he is great. Watching the ladies today Lavender could learn from watching JS. This team is fun to watch already and they have room to grow.Go Bucks

Barkley is only about 6-3 to 6-4, but he could always jump out of the gym even when he was 40 lb overweight. That doesn't describe Jared in the least.bill;1836694; said:
I think Elton Brand and Kevin Love are the best comparisons for Sully, though I think he's clearly better than Brand.

Don't think so. Muldrow from South Carolina is 6'9", 229 and Sullinger was every bit of him and more. You're the first person I've ever seen question his height let alone call it a "big" embellishment.

He grew a lot in HS. If he's not 6'9 then he is really close.

He reminds me of Danny Fortson from UC. Wide body, quick feet, not overly athletic but can still elevate when needed.

this is not a knock on Evan at all.....But
I don't think that we would be a better team with him this year. I know that sounds crazy....but hear me out.
Last year we spent a lot of time standing around waiting for Evan to do his thing. This year we have better ball movement, more players involved, and a better inside game. Evan would have had to change his game around to help this years squad.
Would Sullinger be scoring at will if Evan was dominating the ball? I'm sure he would be getting double digits but nothing like he is doing now. Now Sullinger is just wearing teams down in the paint and it is like taking candy froma baby in the second half. Not sure that would be the case with Evan.
We are just an all around better team now with opponenets having no idea who is going is going to score at any given time.
