I don't really like to post stuff like this because I don't like to post negative stuff about the Beavs, but it's what I'm thinking, so... I really don't get this transfer (Chol Marial). I've been reading that OSU's stock in recruiting circles has sharply risen after the NCAA run. Why are we settling for a guy that so far shows no promise of getting past some pretty serious injuries and may not have the toughnes for the inside? He's got "project" written all over him-and not in a good way! It feels like a desperation get for a team that should be pulling away from desperation moves. On the other hand, Tinkle has shown pretty good mettle in developing centers and I suspect his judgment is a little better than mine on this issue, so... This sums up my thoughts well. Your last paragraph is what my initial reaction of commitment was, and the rest is what I was thinking once I heard he had injury issues. Has Silva announced whether he is taking his extra year? I hope he has and this signing isn’t desperation knowing Silva and Tucker are gone. I’m assuming WT feels good about him being over his injury problems, but with restrictions on visits still being in place I’m not sure how sure you can be. Does seem pretty risky to me, but hopefully WT doesn’t feel that way and it works out. Silva has already said that he’s coming back

Thought I had heard that, but wasn’t sure if it was just wishful thinking.

Highly rated out of HS, but not much in the way of college stats. Hopefully, he can make a leap forward. I also wonder if this is a hint that we are losing another player (i.e. Tucker) Wandering around the internet with nothing better to do, I did find video of two of his 15 collegiate baskets thus far, and one of his 16 blocks....... Pretty dang athletic, and definitely worth taking a flyer on hoping he has returned to good health. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/4431702/chol-marial(videos along the right hand side of the page) Go Beavers!
