Honestly, I had Sueing originally in the starting five but made a late change to Towns since I was wondering about outside shooting. There’s no wrong pick at this point in the year.

Appreciate it! Hope to run into you again down the line. 

They’ll work under the assumption he’s gone (because, in all likelihood, he is). I’ve heard people say they’re anywhere between 95 percent and 99 percent  certain. So yes, while they’ll still be in communication with him, they’ll operate as if he won’t be back. 

Kaleb would have to say he's returning by June 3 (that's the date right now, though it would change). I expect Ohio State to be in continual communication with him to avoid suddenly being in that position. They would not tell him no at any point if he chose to stay in school, though.

He can do so while still maintaining college eligibility FWIW. That said, I fully expect him to remain in the draft.

Don't know if Wertz has a favorite right now. I think when he cuts his list again, we'll get a better idea of the few schools that are truly in the running. He has a history with Holtmann and has a really good understanding of what his role would be, so I think Ohio State has played it as well as it could thus far. Wertz told me he expects this process to go fairly quickly FWIW.

Not sure about Bediako at the moment. Don't have a great feel on that one.

Appreciate you reading. Plan to get back to doing FCPs on a weekly basis during the extended offseason.

Yes, you're correct. A transfer guard would take Kaleb's scholarship.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, man. Really appreciate it.

Not in the top eight for Pitt's Trey McGowens.

Hard to say anything with 100% certainty in these times until he signs with an agent. The pre-draft process could be weirdly limited. But all indications from those within the program are that he’ll be gone. 

Don’t know at the moment. Nothing imminent, for sure. 

No. Very confident he will not. 

Quinnipiac grad transfer Rich Kelly is picking tomorrow. I'm told it will not be Ohio State. Buckeyes focusing on sit-one transfers at the moment.

I’d be legit shocked if Young doesn’t start.
