Recent article stated he would see what is available to him as far as basketball is concerned, first. His preference is to play basketball if that is an option. And I am sure some will "lol", but there is a chance he would be in the NBA. Many in the NBA have already said as much. Even a chance he could be drafted.

I will still admit Craft could have been a better football player. Guy was incredible at Liberty Benton, didn't throw a pick his Junior year and they laid the smack down on everyone in probably the toughest D5 region in the state. If it wasn't for the greatest Ursuline team they win state

A few years overseas and med school would be paid for.

Diebler was drafted and didn't have an NBA chance so I wouldn't take that bet S&L, lol.

He doesn't even need to do that to have his med school paid for. Commercials and appearances just around Columbus would probably take care of it.

Diebler could shoot 3s. That's all you need to get drafted.

What position do you think he would play in D1? I can't see him playing QB at OSU.

As anyone who's been on here for a while can attest, I'm one of Craft's biggest fans. That being said, I agree that he doesn't deserve to be 1st team All B1G. Period.

No chance.

Honestly, he'd have had a better chance at the NBA (even if it was 1% over .05%) if he'd left school early to go pro. NBA drafting has turned into a potential thing, with the vast majority of the high picks being college underclassmen who are highly regarded and foreign players who've used their leagues as a substitute for college. Earlier in his college career, Craft was known as a lockdown defender who had holes in his offense game. Now, as a senior, Craft is still known as a lockdown defender, but those holes are still there, haven't been fixed and, now that he's been in more of a "be the man" role as opposed to one of the supporting cast to guys like Sully and Thomas, they've been more noticeable. Which, when added to him being a four-year college guy (in other words, not having the same growth potential that you'd get from the underclassman projects), is basically a kiss of death as far as the NBA is concerned.

If he wants, he definitely can play overseas. If not, he has med school; so his prospects are much better than the average college guy. But I don't see the NBA being one of them.

Q Ross playing like he knows it is money time. Going hard after rebounds and putting up shots. Seems like he has a little more aggressiveness than normal.

I didn't watch a second of the first half so he might have then, second half had a terrible layup attempt after getting a steal and hasn't been in much other than that. The layup attempt was awful though, but that is par for the course for him.

You watching game? Stone hands. Turnovers. Forcing things too much. I hope he does see money and goes. Tired of his crap and inconsistent effort.

I'm only 'watching' on Gamecast, but it looks like Craft is having a decent game.

Then a horrible foul sending Amir to the line. Hammons crushed that weak ass lay-up attempt...

Letting them play. Ross got away with 2 push offs on that last drive and Hammons went way over the back on the board.
