"Our motto is always to peak at the right time. That's what we're telling this group. We've still got time in front of us to play our best basketball. That's what we want to do when it gets to late February and March. Play your best basketball. That's what this group's focused on." - Wayne Tinkle (Jan 29)
Sagarin pegs us as 21 point underdogs on our home court, but the computer does not know our system is designed to peak in March.

All we need to do is go on a 10 game winning streak starting Wednesday, March 8th. All other games are pretty meaningless if we do that.

Now that would make the Trump win, the Pats' record comeback, Cubs winning the World Series after being down and the Cavs surging for three games to take the NBA title pale in comparison but hey, there is a streak of underdogs being way behind taking the checkered flag going on so why not us?

I keep seeing references to E. Thompson being the highest rated recruit in program history. Considering Charlie Sitton was a McDonald's all American, I'd have to say wow, or some sports reporters don't know much program history. I look at this year being a bump in the road as well. Not sure how good we're ever gonna get, but it will be better than this year from here on out. |

Charlie Sitton was ranked as the number 1 HS recruit in the country by a number of recruiting services. He is clearly the most highly regarded recruit OSU basketball has ever signed. Off the top of my head I can think of a few others who were more highly ranked then ET (who is ranked 49 by ESPN), Steve Woodside was ranked in the top 20 coming out of HS. Others who were highly ranked were Brian Jackson, Corey Benjamin, AC Green and Lonnie Shelton. I understand that the writer was either very young or maybe not even born when most of these guys played. But it would be wise to do a bit of research before one makes such statements.

At this point the new AD hasn't a clue, but then neither do I. I will be pleasantly surprised if we end up with a winning record next season....

I remember Charlie being number 1 or 2 in most National rankings for 1980 or 81 not sure which year it was. The one guy that was usually rated higher was Earl Jones, a 7 footer from Virginia. Can't remember where he went to school, but I didn't hear much about him after that. Charlie was a very good college player that probably didn't live up to the hype, but he was the highest recruit ever at OSU and he had a much better career than Jones did from my recollection!
