Domino's may be a budget thing. These guys have to eat cheap. I remember Malcolm Jenkins saying that coming back for his senior year meant another year of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. :)

He'd be better off eating literally anything else. He can't be giving money to that shithole up north.

Svelte Sullinger will benefit numerous ways
Posted on: October 18, 2011
By Jeff Goodman

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Jared Sullinger came into Columbus a year ago at 290 pounds. Now he's at 265.

Luckily for the Ohio State sophomore, though, he hasn't lost the large derriere that makes him extremely difficult to defend in the paint.

Sullinger has slimmed down. He's talked about it all summer, but I saw it with my own eyes on Monday afternoon in practice, when the svelte favorite for National Player of the Year honors showcased his improved agility.

"He's really toned up," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "He told me yesterday how much better he felt after five practices."

Ohio State strength coach Dave Richardson showed me the before and after photos - and it's impressive how Sullinger has changed his entire body. He's gone from 24 percent body fat to 12 percent now.

"It's motivating," Sullinger said when he sees the pictures.

Sullinger, Taylor Make AP Preseason All-America Team

Expectations were already sky high for Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor entering the 2011-12 men's basketball season.

Both players made the annual publication?s first team, released Monday, with Sullinger being a unanimous pick. Yes, the Buckeye sophomore was listed on all 65 ballots from a national media panel...

Jared Sullinger tops AP preseason All-America team
By JIM O'CONNELL, AP Basketball Writer - 2 hours ago
Jordan Taylor is in a class by himself on The Associated Press' preseason All-America team.
The guard from Wisconsin was the only senior on the team Monday. He was joined by four sophomores, including Ohio State's Jared Sullinger, a unanimous pick of the 65-member national media panel...

...The 6-9 Sullinger was one of the players who decided to pass on the NBA draft. His coach said an impending lockout had nothing to do with him returning.

"He knew what he was going to do from the time he got to Ohio State in the summer," Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said. "When he told me he was coming back, I said, 'Are you sure? Let's talk about this.' I want what's best for our players. He said, 'No, there's no need to do it, I'm coming back.'"

His return has Ohio State at No. 3 in the AP preseason Top 25, behind two schools also featuring the return of a star...

Sullinger Sheds Pounds, Ups His Game
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Jared Sullinger needed a moment.

His entire freshman year of college had just flown by in the blink of an eye, as the Buckeyes were bounced from the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament by Kentucky.

It was earlier than most had expected for the No. 1 overall seed, and all anyone wanted to know now was whether Sullinger would be back for a second year. His mind was on something else entirely.

He was thinking about getting better.

?I knew what I had to work on and that was weight,? he said.

?Be a little bit more mobile. There were a lot of times if I was a little bit more mobile I could have gotten a rebound or I could have gotten a charge or something. It?s just little stuff like that which could change the game.?

It could have changed the outcome of Ohio State?s season, which ended in a 62-60 loss to the Wildcats at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

Sullinger scored 21 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. Those are gaudy numbers for any college player, let alone a freshman, but they weren?t good enough for Sullinger. His team didn?t win, so nothing would have been.
