Pretty good article here on Toles in the Canton Repository about his time in Virgina at Fork Union. Wonder if Saul and Co. are keeping tabs on him...but it sounds like he's wanting bigger than the offers he got out of high school. It says his only current offer is from Rice.

Agreed. I can envision a couple scholarships that could possibly open up.

Hope it happens. Too many guys last two years expected to contribute simply have not.

There's a huge difference between this, and other posts that in my opinion, cross the line. There are definitely a couple players that for various reasons haven't contributed much. Stating as such, in my opinion, isn't an issue. For a couple that have had several injuries/health issues, it's a shame, because they probably could have been contributors. Not that my opinion is gospel, but I no longer see any value in knocking the kids that put in a heck of a lot of effort.

Thanks OUCountry.....if players don't fit the system and have been riding the pine on scholarship for 2-3 years...then I fully support them looking elsewhere. If one transferring brings in a quality player who can contribute....I'm all for it. I don't really care about feelings being hurt. Everyone on this board wants to go the NCAA Tourney more than once every 4-5 years. It can happen at OHIO.

Last year, we chased down Wadley like the Clippers chased down Deaundre Jordan and we don't even use him. If a kid does not fit the system and wants to leave, we should let them go, especially if they are not contributing. We missed and opportunity and Wadley missed an opportunity.

Completely agree +1. ^^^^ I don't get the Wadley situation at all. From only what I pick up here, the team went to Saul to keep him? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure that the staff "chased down Wadley". I was of the understanding that his teammates convinced him to stay. So it sounds like I'm not the only one who thought that. I'm also of the understanding that he is red shirting this year, and will likely transfer next year so that he has one year of eligibility and can play right away, while still getting his degree from Ohio.

The difference is, when he played, Wadley was a contributor. His health was the issue. I think the same logic applies to Harley in my opinion. I think he'd be a capable player if he could get his back right.

That said, I'd hope that this is something that gets sorted out soon. Either he can play and gets the back problem solved, or we need to find a way to get use out of the scholarship. DJ Wingfield, unless I'm mistaken, was able to stay at Ohio under scholarship when it was determined his health wouldn't allow him to play. Perhaps Khari can do a similar thing if he can't get his back healed?

If a schollie opens, he can play the two and the three and maybe some one. I would prefer him over a big.

Now that Culver is gone let's go get this kid. I live south of Canton and saw him play several times. He was a shining star on an athletic team. He was under control, had a solid jumper and seemed like a nice, solid kid. I would take him in a heartbeat and he could be a backup 1, 2 or 3 in a small lineup. If we had him we could go Jaaron, Darty, Laster, Toles and Carter and run people off the floor.

I have no clue anymore what happened to him. Someone posted the story of how he's doing in prep school but not who he's interested in. His Verbal Commits page hasn't been updated and still just has Rice, UT Martin, Akron and Kent. Kent and Akron both have a ton of guards so I don't see them.

We offered him way, way early in the process under Christian in 2012 and then the prep school thing happened so who knows if he's still on the radar. But here's an interesting article in the Canton Repository catching up with him.

With a redshirt/transfer, this thread could go a full 10 years.


I've seen crazier things happen.

I still would have liked us to nab him. I feel like he is going to be a very, very good college player and Robbie Morris will love him.

And now decommits from RMU, "made too quick a decision"!!!!

He's now passed through 4 potential signing days and if I remember right is on the record saying he wants a bigger offer. I'm fairly confident wherever he ends up won't be the last stop he makes before his eligibility expires.

Robert Morris would have been good for him, he was close to home and he could have gotten playing time. Groce just had a scholly open up, I wonder if he made his pitch.
