Hurry up and leave

Ready or not

How’s that working out for Coffey??

Has logged 2.5 minutes in the NBA

And every year there’s more wanna be’s

Coffey is costing himself a lot of money....would have been a first round pick...millions....now he gets 300k...

Then, amazingly, he was back on the court several minutes later. Very strange.

He would've had to have a ridiculous senior season to even be considered in the 1st.

He doesn't do anything well enough and would already be 23 at next year's draft.

He's kind of stuck in purgatory right now. He's making a lot more money on the days he's up with the Clippers, but he really needs to be playing every day in the G League.

Never liked the one and done rule.

I think it hurts both NCAA and NBA

I thought Coffey could make his professional niche by continuing to improve his guard skills and be a ‘big guard’, maybe even a big point guard. That could be desirable in the NBA. But he didn’t really do that last year. He didn’t really distinguish himself in any way really. And there’s no indication he would have this year. So he’s just another dime a dozen wing.

And Penn State is pretty decent too, by the way...queue ominous music.

Can only hope somehow Oturu’s success will get a few instate stars to stay home

Doubtful as long as top 20 eludes the U

Carr/Oturo becoming quite a combo......if his system looks guard friendly he might have a shot too.

Our big win is OSU and they aren't as good as once thought.

The Purdue loss at Purdue is hurting a bit....that is another road game we should have won.

Remarkable that OSU is in currently....pretty much need them to get hot after beating them twice.---that will help our ranking.

I think OSU will turn it around. Our sweep of OSU will be what ultimately puts us over the hump and gets us into the tourney.
