2014: Payton Dastrup a Buckeye(BB)!!!!

[victor2111]

Wow! Very nice commit for Ohio State! They get a BIG GUY in the 2014 class like they wanted to.

2014 4-star PF Payton Dastrup commits to Ohio State

4* #18C according to Scout. 6-10 230lbs. From.............ARIZONA! Matta doing work out WEST!!!

Everyone is very surprise he committed to Ohio State tonight. Came out of nowhere!


This is the missing piece the Ohio State class was missing in the 2014 class, a big man. And the past couple months they've missed on about 3 of them who had OSU in their top 3.

HERE IS YOUR OHIO STATE 2014 BB CLASS
5* SG D'Angelo Russell(STUD)
5* SF Keita Bates-Diop
4* SF Jae-sean Tate
4* C Payton Dastrup
3* C David Bell

Will finish out as the #1 or #2 class with Kentucky. Also remember Ohio State has 2commits already for their 2015 class, 5* PF Mickey Mitchell & 4* A.J. Harris. This class will get a few more commits and there are big time prospects in the state of Ohio. If things go right, a lot of people believe tOSU 2015 class COULD be the #1 class.




All in All. Thad Matta is ONE HELL of a coach. Ohio State is very lucky to have him here and he is going to make sure the FB program keeps doing their thing, because he has the BB program seeing STARS!

Well there is one thing about Payton Dastrup, he is going on his mission, so he will be out for two years. Will not play for Ohio State until 2016-2017 season.

Oh boy....

Two years off the court and he is expected to be good when he comes back?

Yep. Very skilled big man on the offense side. Can rebound also.

Skilled guy to have. Sucks for the Buckeyes they will not get him till 2016, but good commit to have. Also has good mid-range jumper. Coaches knew about him not playing till 2016, so they still like him.

This also leaves a scholarship for 2014/2015 classes now. So Ohio State could still land another big guy in 2014, but only one left that they're after.

Everyone is still shocked he picked Ohio State over BYU.

Thad is a beast. With that facility and his record who wouldn't want to play there ? The new practice facility is sweeeeeet !

Not so fast. Just like that the kid decommits and is going to BYU his childhood favorite. Not surprising and I'm not upset, but why does a kid come out and make a commitment if he bails in less than a week. If you aren't sure, wait until you are.

[victor2111]

This is weird. Kids decommit all the time, but weird to see them commit and then a few days later sign to go to another school(today was early signing day for Basketball).

Really weird.

Mormons...can't, never mind!

Jk...I've got a couple of friends who are Mormon and I always mess with 'em...we get into some fun religious convos.

You want commitment from a kid that will have several wives in the future?

That actually takes some serious commitment. I mean, I have one wife, and I love her dearly, but the thought of having more than one is not appealing to me in the least. You have to be pretty committed to your religion to deal with that much PMS.

[angrybaldman]

No big loss.
