Re: JJ Sullinger
If he's a top level pick, can't blame him, and would encourage him to go.
Would miss him though!

Do you mean Jared Sullinger ? JJ is his old brother who graduated a few years back.

Re: JJ Sullinger
I think the NCAA needs to get their act together and do basketball just like football and not allow these kids to leave after one year of college B-Ball. Coaches spend all that time and effort to get a kid to commit and he plays one year and bolts. He may be a superstar, but he's not benefiting the school or the team unless they just happen to win the NCAA title during his one year in college and just how often does that happen. Just imagine how good tOSU could have been if this rule was in effect, as well as Kentucky. Make them stay until after their junior years or at least their sophomore year.

I agree 100%. I never understood why the NCAA has different rules for different sports. Wait.....we are talking about the NCAA here....

Re: Jared Sullinger
The NCAA has little to do with it. It is a bargained for rule in the NBA's CBA, just as it is in the NFL's CBA. Get the NBA to change their rule to being eligible for the draft 3 years from HS graduation (like the NFL) instead of 1 year out and this is a mute point.Burg_Grad_77 wrote:I think the NCAA needs to get their act together and do basketball just like football and not allow these kids to leave after one year of college B-Ball.

Re: Jared Sullinger
go back to the old rule--- can only go if there is a hard ship in the family and then it can only be after their Jr. year.

Re: Jared Sullinger
He's not polished enought for next year. Most of his basketball life has been spent directly under the basket (ala Mullens, Oden) and he has to develop more of a perimeter game or the NBA will eat him up early and you'll never hear from him again. We've seen that happen a lot at OSU in the last few years haven't we ?
Re: Jared Sullinger
Sullinger has some range outside of the paint. I've seen him hit two 3s and a few outside the paint shots. He will probably go pro, but i hope not.
Re: Jared Sullinger
He''ll mature and develop more lift with his legs and then may have a legit shot at a good NBA career. Hopefully by this season's end, he has some extra lift because long athletic big men or leapers will give him fits inside. Other than that he is far more polished than any other OSU frosh I have seen. His outside shot is pretty good especially up to 15 feet but he hasn't had to use it and thankfully he is smart enough to know that he is in there to help the team win games not be on audition for another job so he uses his head and utilizes mismatches sometimes even outsmarting much older players. He has shown signs of athleticism at times and other times his legs look dead when he attacks the rim. The NBA will eat guys up that can't elevate quickly.
Re: Jared Sullinger
Sullinger isn't going anywhere. Expect him to play another year at least. And I wouldn't be surpised if he stayed for 3 or 4 years. The old man wants a dynasty/legacy with the son. The money will always be there for his talent.

Re: Jared Sullinger

Re: Jared Sullinger
Hate it that they leave early, but if I was in the position?..show me the money....
maybe we can get them to sign a pledge to play 3 years , if we sighn them?

I agree with you all, the NCAA needs to take a hard look at this.Bleeding Red wrote:Burg_Grad_77 wrote:I think the NCAA needs to get their act together and do basketball just like football and not allow these kids to leave after one year of college B-Ball.

That was the quietest 27 pts and 16 rebounds I have ever seen.91blue14 wrote:sullinger played a big game today at illinois
I am amazed how well he shoots foul shots for such a big guy.
