Yeah. It's one of those things where you get the idea both of them generally enjoy college and want to be at Ohio State...but when it comes to this time of the year where people are talking about big money, that doesn't really matter all that often. So, it's a big crapshoot where it gets tough to tell if they'll really stay...or if the thought of them staying is just us fans being wishful because they come off as good kids who want to stay and win a title.Big Gain;1135746 wrote:I would think that Thomas and Sullinger know if they both come back Ohio State has a better shot at winning it all next year as opposed to what their chances were this year. If that has a bearing on their decisions I do not know.

Read today that Thomas just had a kid recently. That would play a big part in his decision to leave.Laley23;1135624 wrote:As crazy as it is for me to say, because Ive been adamant that Sully will leave and Thomas as 50-50. But I think there is a chance both come back. Im like 80% Thomas will be back, and I was 95% Sully would go...but now Im about 50-50 on him. Dont know what it is, but Id still say he bolts if a gun was to my head.

Move OSU up about 7 spots, and this is basically what I agree with.
Jon Rothstein is releasing his tomorrow (per Twitter). Also CBSsportsnet guy.

I still don't see Carolina as a top 15 team.
Even IF James Michael stays for next year. They won't be good.

I think you are over reacting to losing players. Like Ewok with Cuse. They are still loaded in college basketball terms and have a lot coming in.wildcats20;1136271 wrote:I still don't see Carolina as a top 15 team.

That Joel James kid is a beast and Paige is the 2nd best PG in the class. McDonald and Strickland healthy. McAdoo and James on inside. Hairston and Bullock to stretch the D. That is a top 15 team, imo.

Georgetown, no.
Henry Sims is gone
Jason Clark is gone
Hollis Thompson is going pro
Otto Porter may be going pro
They are not a top 10 team...

Are these assuming Siva and the other guy stay?
Louisville won't sniff the top 5 without them.

(Its Jeff Goodman. I know that because I listen to their podcast a lot. These guys are ALOT better than the ESPN guys. Goodman said on the SVP show that while on the way to Columbus for the 2nd/3rd round games he went to the Schott instead of Nationwide, so he had to hurry over to NA and ended up getting a speeding ticket out of it!) I do like this one because they list who they think will go and stay.

I said about 3 weeks ago that I thought LVille, UK, and IU were top 3 in no order (pending UK getting Noel and Bazz).

Read over UNC's story for next year, did not realize they got Oriakhi. I still think they are not a top 10 team though. Too guard heavy.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if AO went to Missouri. He was AAU teammates with the Pressey brothers and that could be a huge factor.
