He graced the cover of SI before even stepping on the court in Athens.  How did Luckett end up at Ohio? What was his ranking? At the time Luckett was regarded as one of THE top recruits in the country. I actually spoke to Luckett about this topic at length. He said that it was a factor of a freak knee injury and wanting to be the guy on a team that led him to Ohio. He mentioned having interest form the Kentucky's of the world where he would ride the bench for a season or two before getting serious playing time. At Ohio he was the star before he even wore the jersey.

I really miss playing Temple in football every year. Beating them was the best. I think we shoud found a conference and consider how ridiculous the school's online message boards are when adding teams... We could start with Temple and Marshall and be in business. I've seen crazier things happen.

He's apparently very talented and will do really well in the MAC. It's obvious he loved his visit there, but I'd imagine that we were waiting on other kids and weren't prepared to accept a commitment (if he wanted to) anyway. yeah, 'cause, you know, schools turn down verbal commitments all the time.

It certainly seems that he's got a lot of developing to do yet but a ton of potential.

But as we learned under Larry, at the mid major level the key to winning is guards.  Remember, under Larry we had high major bigs but we only won one MAC title.  To have the entire package would be awesome and would position us to continue being competitive and successful just about every season.   Back to Top BOOM!!!!

Beg to differ, my friend.  Amadeo shot 10-26, .385 from beyond the arc.  not enough to qualify for official NCAA rankings, but if he had, he would not even have been in the top 50. Dozens of TEAMS had a better percentage (feel free to look it up, but I already did).  Was only third best from beyond arc at OSU last year.  Most, not all, of his shots came against lesser opponents or in garbage time.  Barely got off bench in conference games and was 3-9 on 3-pointers when he did.  Can't make free throws, shot .500.  I suspect 1 reason he didn't play many minutes is that Matta did not trust him much on defense and if that's the case, Christian probably wouldn't either.  Could he start at Ohio?  I dunno.  If he did, we probably would not have much of a team.  Again, just because someone is sitting on the bench at OSU or Missouri or any other power conference school, it does not AUTOMATICALLY mean he's a good player, or that he'd start or even be a good fit for Ohio.  For every Walter Offut there is a Kadeem Green.  Back to Top OUVan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Bethesda, MD Post Count: 5,580 Status: Offline     RE: 2014 6'9" F Tariq Owens (St. Vincent Pallotti, MD) Ohio offer    Posted: 6/7/2013 11:40:39 PM  brucecuth wrote: For every Walter Offut there is a Kadeem Green.  Isn't that the truth.  I'd even venture to say that more than half go the way of Green or NBA Bota.
