Agree. He had one of his poorest games in a while. I do not know if he was getting frustrated because the officials were not calling the bumps that he has been taking for quite a few games or what but he just did not seem that motivated today. He has been taking quite a bit of contact over the past several games and has not gotten the benefit of many calls from officials. Maybe not so much today but in the Big Ten tournament and the last few games of the season when he started to take the ball to the basket but even today he did not get the benefit of the whistle but that certainly was no excuse for the way he played.

Terrible decision if he goes. He can be that go to scorer next year if he returns and works on his game. He can be like Deshaun Thomas was his last year here. Q is one of the few guys in that group who seems to be developing, thankfully!

I didn't fault DT leaving because I don't think another year in college could have helped him develop anymore than the year he's having in Europe, plus he's making $150k this year. Q, on the other hand, I think could really benefit from another year in the college game.

I really think he could benefit with another year. His limitations--decision-making, streaky shot, becoming more of a put the team on your back player--could all be improved with another year. Thomas's limitations--mainly related to foot speed and other limitations athletically--couldn't have been improved upon with another year, which is why I always thought it was in his best interest to go.

DT wouldn't have gained anything basketball wise staying another year. He wanted to support his family and even if he stayed he would have been in France a year later. Ross is a different scenario though bc I think he can make an NBA team (bench) next year based on his skill set and room to improve. We should be a title contender if he stays next year with the way he is playing now and adding that recruiting class

Come on man. Take the OSU goggles off. OSU is far from being a title contender next year. You take away the heart and soul of your team (Craft), you still don't have any shooters and still have no inside game. Sounds like a recipe for a slightly above .500 record in the big 10, 24-26 or so wins, and 5-7 seed in tourney and a 1st or 2nd rd exit. That's what we are until we get someone who can consistently shoot from outside over a zone and a big man that rebounds like he is 6'11" and has something other than a dunk (when he actually catches the pass) in his arsenal.

Russell, KBD, and Kam can score the ball. Loving will get better. If we can find a big man and Ross did return we would be a title contender
