Their board(s) also has a discussion about the possibility of Jaaron taking his talents to o$u as a fifth-year graduate student.



Once again the elephant in the room raises its trunk. Hope Arkley asks Jaaron whether he intends to get his degree this year and, if so, what his intentions will be after that...Certainly Jaaron had to be very pleased with the way "his guys" played, maybe to the point where he'd consider going to OSU a step backward.

Let's hope the Brown kid in Vegas, one of the top PGs in the country, really is considering OSU as he claims, and puts on a Buckeye hat when he announces...


Why should Arkley ask that question? We all know that it's high unlikely anyone answers that question directly, Jaaron included. It's a legitimate concern for coaches and fans, but I'd be willing to bet that he isn't thinking about that too much right now.



If you are a good journalist, as Arkley is, you ask the question, whatever the answer turns out to be. I say that as a proud graduate of the Ohio University School of Journalism (even if the GPA really wasn't something to be proud of LOL).

That's fair. I guess I just see it from the angle of the PC speak response that it's going to likely get.

EDIT - and I wouldn't expect a coach or player to tell the whole truth when asked that kind of a question.

Better yet, let's hope the Brown kid in Vegas spurns Matta and o$u AND Simmons remains in Athens for his final year eligibility.

For starters, I might be alone, but I don't root against Matta. I hope he gets players that are fun to watch because it's a cheap ticket to get into the Schott and I like good basketball. Second, and more importantly, on verbal commits it looks to me like they don't even have a scholly left for next year, so this conversation may been a moot point. He's also got three point guards on the roster for next season at the current time.


EDIT - except when he plays Groce. ;-)
