The biggest thing with Drew is he needed to "grow-up". All the potential in the world but the mental mistakes and pouting didn't do him any favors. He could be very good for Osu next year but if he doesn't want to be here so be it.

Parents can talk all they want, but if he gets an evaluation, and is told in no uncertain terms that he needs that third year in college, I would like to think that Pop's will get his face out of the press and behind his kid in doing what is best for his future.
Drew should be back next season - but I wish him the best whichever route he decides he needs to go.

Listening to agents is about the worst move a parent can make. I think trying to get himself a combine invite to see how he compares isn't a bad idea at all.
The scouts will likely be straight with him, but agents have a vested interest in wooing kids and their families with talk of big money. If agents were paid by the hour they'd be more selective, paid by the percentage it's just a numbers game... get enough kids under your umbrella and one of them will stick and make you big bucks, the rest don't matter so much.

NBA has just 2 rounds, so 60 players are drafted. if either Drew or Stephen declare and stay in they had better learn a foreign language because they will be playing over seas.

I was looking forward to Eubanks, Thompson and Tinkle playing together as Seniors. But if Eubanks wants to go pro so quickly I can't see him staying until his Senior year.

Wow his dad is doing him no favors...just sees $$$ I guess. He won't get drafted. GP2 didn't even get drafted. At least Corey was a 1st round pick GP2's dad was explicit about his son finishing college. Eubanks' father is apparently taking the opposite approach. Too bad because Drew is far from being an NBA player. If some team does take a flier on him (but I really doubt it)....even then he'd be D league bound. I'm purely guessing, BUT he might not be all that enthralled with the classroom aspect of college.

Drew improved this season and I am hoping he will next season. But the idea that he's NBA ready now is just insane. I mainly watch the NBA (other than the Beavs, college bball is tough to keep my attention), and with his body at this point there's just no spot for his game. Can you imagine him in the post against Nurkic for instance? Meyers Leonard, who has no post game at all, still has a huge size/strength advantage on Drew.

You aren't doing it right if you admit you are guessing.

I just see it as a job interview for the kid... I'm mean the kid has an opportunity to interview for his dream job and and is going at with the attitude that he's going to crush it... If he has a good interview but they aren't 'hiring' right now then he can ask what he can do to improve and work on improving it - then he get's to interview again next year for his dream job - it's a win/win...

Except most of us go in to the "interview" initially qualified for said dream job. They are hiring... about 60 + FAs. Not counting those with the head start in the "intern" program. And, there is nothing wrong with one of your "employees" going to interview/get advice to better themselves". Unless they return and turn their job into a selfish self promotion campaign that effects your other "employees"/"company". He's getting bad advice if he's being told he's in any way NBA ready. He'll be a detriment to OSU rebuilding if he comes back with the attitude that next season is all about his personal improvement to get to the NBA.

LMAO... this kid/family are loco! But, as I have been chided before... I never liked his game that much, but his demeanor and attitude were worse. He simply took stretches off. Sometimes never making in to half court. He pouted. He walked away from coaches trying to talk to him. He is not a NBA player... 6'10" is a dime a dozen in the league. If you do not have a power/back to the basket game with multiple moves over both shoulders or an inside out game you're playing over seas. Drew has neither. Classic case of bad bad advice to get a piece of whatever he makes. Bottom line he is not a difference maker in terms of being an elite player. It hurts some in the position we're in right now, but better off without him if he's not ALL IN! And, this give WT time to find another big who now sees immediate PT. But, as always, if a kid does not want to be a Beaver, good bye... good luck... have a nice life! Shameful post as usual. Telling Eubanks to kiss off. That's baseba11111 class. Fan ignorance 101.

The norm for your intermittent grade school posts... maybe "blowchunks" is the more appropriate moniker?? 😊
