I saw him as the future of OSU. He was young this year but you can see the potential.

hope the kid lands on his feet in the right destination, and gets his head clear.

What is his issue?

What is his issue?

stopped playing late Jan due to 'mental health issues'. Never heard anything more.

 

[YOTHN]

Indiana was a finalist for him so maybe?

 

[birdforbogey]

He will be going to a school that starts with I.

Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Creighton

I wouldn't count out Nebraska. Hoiberg has a history with transfers and he would be one hell of a get.

Iona? Oh No.

I didn't see him play a lot, but when I did he seemed to turn the ball over and take some bad shots. It is hard to judge too much about a freshman, but we just graduated a player like that. I hope he does well and finds a good fit.

He is nothing like Green. I would welcome him.

Carton has a ton of talent. We won’t get him but I wish we would.

The kid is a head case, trouble we don’t need!

 

[fkfootball]

He’s not a head case. He’s a teenager that has some kind of personal issues.

Yes, yes I did.

eh, not sure if "troubled" is the right word here. Kid obviously has some anxiety issues. Devan Dumes was troubled....

Someone who has mental depression is troubled.

He has mental heath issues and they were severe enough to prevent him from finishing the basketball season. It would be very risky to take on a player struggling with a serious mental health problem. Such problems are difficult to deal with and it may take some trial and error before he can get it under control. I hope he gets the best treatment possible and wish him the best. But, I do not think it’s in IU’s basketball program’s best interest to recruit him. Both he and his mom praised OSU and Holtman for their help and generous support. Despite their efforts, it didn’t turn out well for the Buckeyes.
