Temple Anthony Lee a possible transfer for OSU? BUCKEYE!!!!!

[victor2111]

I said Ohio State needs to find a guy who can transfer and play right away one year or JUCO big guy to make McDonald sit.

It has been announced Anthony Lee will have one more year left and can leave Temple. He is 6-9 230lbs. This past year at Temple:

31.1MPG 13.6PPG 8.6RPG.

6-9 Anthony Lee of Temple, graduate transfer eligible next season, spoke w/ Matta today, Lee told @goodmanespn. #buckbk


Quite a few teams will go after him. But this will be Ohio State chance to get a one year impact player and keep McDonald on the bench and push Amir. Would be a huge get if Ross leaves also. Here is hoping Matta can pull his magic off. We have a ship open. It might be a long shot, Indiana seems to be the leader. Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, etc, after him. He wants to stay in the MidWest.

With Ross leaving most likely, I think Anthony Lee becomes a bigger target for Matta and maybe can sell him on the 4 at Ohio State. He wants to play the 4, Ohio State has a weakness at the 4. Come on down big man.


A man can pray.

He better come or else we're fucked.

Temple transfer Anthony Lee told ESPN he's trimmed his list to five: Ohio State, Indiana, Louisville, Iowa State and Notre Dame.



I hope Matta is looking at some JUCO transfer also.

This is a HUGE get for Ohio State. Losing Ross, they found his replacement.

Lee is a perfect guy to play the 4 in CBB. He is exactly what Ohio State needed. Well they also need a Center but that is going to be hard to find. But we finally got a POST player. And with Russell coming in as a Shooter, we might actually have a POST player and SHOOTER on the team together!!

Matta has said before he doesn't like the guys who can transfer and play right away, but I think he is happy he finally gets help from it.


Scott/Russel/Thompson/Lee/Williams.

Very good starting 5. Very solid PG. Good #2 guard. Athletic #3. Post #4. And Amir at #5 sadly.

On the bench you've
- Kam Williams playing the #2, and another shooter
- KBD playing the #3, very athletic freshman who can do it all, and should play 30MIN.
- Loving backing the #4 and should be good.
- McDonald at the #5 to back Amir up. Hopefully we can play small a lot and Amir can play close to 28-30MIN.
- Tate will also be here but might not be ready. But if he is, another guy at the #2.
- I think David Bell will redshirt.


So we're looking pretty solid next year. The #5 will be our weakest part again, hopefully Amir/McDonald come back better. But I think we're very good at #3/#4. We have talent at #2. ANd I think Scott fits the #1 on this team.

[victor2111]

It would be nice if Ohio State can add maybe another JUCO prospect or get Center from VT who would have to sit out a year. We still have 2ships open for next year. It is good to have guys who can at least help in practice.

Ohio State big lineup:
Scott
Russell
KBD/Thompson
Lee
Williams

Ohio State small lineup:
Scott
Russell
KBD/Thompson
Loving
Lee


Options for Matta. Both lineups look good though.


If Amir hits his head and wakes up for next seasons, we could have a really good team.

Good read on why he picked Ohio State.

Looks like all the talk was premature. He's going to Indiana. Whoa.

Good try. Nobody wants to play for Crean anymore, not even his own players. haha

Iowa State was the team to really watch out for.


Ross leaving = Ohio State getting Lee. Not a bad trade off. Both very talented players. I'll take either one.

[WANG]

I think that with how BAD Williams and McDonald are, OSU will go "small" more often and just have Lee or Loving play in the post.
