He's from Indianapolis.  I don't know how much closer you need to be to be immediately eligible by transferring "closer to home."  But if he goes to Indiana, he'd probably be able to play right away if that's what he wanted to do.

it would be kind of funny if OSU get shim too, Indiana coaches/fans would have to be pissed after losing Lee & this kid… Its crazy schools like OSU & Indiana are in a position where they need transfers from Va Tech and Grad transfers…. I don't see either school being that good next year to be honest...

The Buckeyes signed the #1 SG and #6 and #8 SFs for this class. They'll be fine.

They usually do something like that nearly every year, and they weren't "fine" this year. They ended up fifth place In the regular season, behind a team that never does anything anywhere near that . . . yet.

They also got a commitment from Temple transfer Anthony Lee who averaged around 14 & 9 last year.

Technically your original comment was that they won't be that good next year.

I think you could be a good team and not finish in the top 3 of the B1G. I think we were a good team this year. I think Ohio State was a good team this year.

If we want to get into 'technicalities' sure.. I just thought this was a message board for open discussion. I made it clear in follow up posts my thoughts about the OSU team for next year? Not sure why I need to be corrected but whatever, to each his own.

I wasn't trying to correct you, I was just putting out there why I think you got pushback/arguments from posters to begin with. I believe that when you said Ohio State wouldn't be very good next year, people disagreed, thus the discussion on the message board.

If you had said you don't think they finish top 3 in B1G from the start, I doubt there would have been as many who disagreed.

Did you take that to be a correction?  I took it to be a clarification.  Disagreement is open discussion.

 

"Good" is sort of a broad term here.  Ohio St won 25 games and were a 6 seed in the NCAA tournament.

You're arguing that they were not and will not be an elite team.

Sheesh! What's with the fretting about Ohio St.'s recruiting success? Everyone knows that Ohio St. will have recruiting success. They always do--just like similar success always happens for Michigan St., and Wisconsin, and Michigan, and etc.

Nebrasketball simply needs to have recruiting success if it's own.

But please note that recruiting success can't be defined by us internet geniuses. For example, as late as weeks after the first public scrimmage this past fall, we were all (yours truly included) still pretty skeptical about Petteway's ability to contribute at any type of high level.

Moreover, with no history of recruiting splashes, Nebrasketball managed last year to beat Ohio St. once (should've been twice), beat Michigan St. on the road, beat Wisconsin, etc.

Let's stipulate now that B1G teams will all recruit well this year and, perhaps, we can minimize the fretting when it happens!

This is not at all shocking that he went to OSU

 

Considering he's from Indy it's a little surprising that he didn't choose Purdue or Indiana

 

True, but considering that Crean and, especially Painter, will be on the hot seat next year, I'm not shocked. Just my opinion.
