-Matta wants Sully to work on his body and talked about Sully playing the four at times.............(Amir Williams might be at the 5 during some situations)

-Talked about playing Craft and Shannon Scott at the same time. Thinks Craft will need to look to score more next year..............
HMMM NOW I WOUNDER WHY THIS WOULD BE?
since you know, Mattas system needs a more Pure PG then Scoring PG

Default Thomas staying on the Bench next year?

Satch Sullinger said that with David Lighty gone and the 6-10 center Amir Williams coming to campus, more minutes would open up for Sullinger at power forward, which would be his position in the N.B.A. Sullinger showcased it infrequently, but he has a nice midrange game, and Coach Thad Matta was comfortable with him taking 3-pointers within the offense. (He made 3 of 12 attempts this year.)

Satch Sullinger also said his son had seen former Buckeyes like Kosta Koufos and Byron Mullens leave early, be picked in the first round and languish anonymously on N.B.A. benches. He wants Jared to develop his game while in college.

“He has to learn the 4 position,” Satch Sullinger said. “He and I have talked a little bit, not about the N.B.A., just in general, that you can only get better by playing, not practicing. He’ll play at a high level at Ohio State and learn from one of the best in Thad Matta.”

Thomas will never have the Quickness to play the 3 (which is why i think he is destined for Failure when he gets to the NBA since's he's only 6'6) and his D blows so putting him at the 3 is an absolute nightmare nobody would want to have

Dude............give it a rest, your like a female during an arguement for gods sake. Your right and everyone else is wrong. Happy?

I took his comment which was seperate from his comment on play Craft and Scott together to mean that Craft will need to look to score more due to the fact we are losing 2 starters, not because he is moving to the 2 guard............Once again I could be wrong...........

Craft0Sully, 1BuckNut, etc...

Stop being so confrontational. There is no need for it.

Thomas will get most of his minutes at the 4 spot...................who knows at this point if he will continue to come off the bench or start..............if he wants to start he needs to improve his defense, ball handling and shot selection................

Another year in the weight room will really help him..................
