Mullens to call OKC home (D. Harker)

Well, so much for B.J.’s tweet that the Bulls would take him at 16.

In a not so surprising draft, Mullens fell to #24 before being traded to Oklahoma City (#25). The move to OKC could prove to be a good thing as Mullens can develop in relative obscurity and [...]

Where Will Mullens Go?

  • By Alex - June 24th, 2009

Where will BJ and his crustache call home this year?
As Chris mentioned briefly in his post yesterday, BJ Mullens will hear his name called Thursday night at the 2009 NBA Draft in Madison Square Garden. While it is not a question of if the 7-foot freshman will be drafted, there is a big question of [...]

He’s Crafty

  • By Chris - June 9th, 2009

Hopefully Aaron is “crafty like ice is cold”

With the main cogs in the AAU machine known as All-Ohio Red already in the fold for 2010, Thad Matta’s recent score in the form of the squad’s under the radar point guard could prove to be a crucial get for the program.

Gar-mire-witzki throws one down (Davidson)

In case you weren’t aware, B.J. Mullens isn’t hurting from a lack of self-confidence.
