Isn't Tate a junior?
"What we do in life echoes in eternity"
Yeah, I don't know why it says he ended his career
Consider me confused as well.
Can't wait to see Marc in S & G and represent OSU b-ball's Toledo connection!
A big man with inside the paint scoring potential is what he shall provide.
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
Damn, excited to see this kid play in college, for sure
is there any new news on Okafor? Or other targets Thad has?
Really hoping this guy can come in and make an impact right away, especially if DT decides to leave.
T-I-T-A-N-S!!!
St John's Jesuit baller! Another Toledo stud. Cant wait for McLoving to don the Scarlet and Gray and shred the B1G.
Loving's not only a great player but a great kid. He will represent tOSU well on and off the court.
I don't think the scoring of DT will be sorely missed thanks to Ross, incoming Kam Williams and the continued growth of Slam Thompson. But what will be missed is that go to player who can do all the other things that Thomas can do. A lot of people don't realize that Thomas is an excellent offensive rebounder and clutch player.
I hope Marc can come in and do those things if DT does leave, if DT stays this team just got much deeper and I think Marc could be an excellent post pressence.
