Aaron, I know you know about this stupid website and welcome your visits whether in person or by your screen name......I just wanted to let you
know that there are also a bunch of stupid LB people who also frequent the RC wink.gif .........24 pages of comments and most of them congratulatory towards
your accomplishments.........while I know that you are an excellent student, could you please come back home this summer and help some of the less
fortunate LB people? rolleyes.gif

Well RC is not a stupid website from this LB supporter. Congrats to AC on a terrific freshman year.

It's a shame they lost to Kentucky where I currently live and these people hate Ohio St. Not sure why, but whatever. With Sullinger back next year, hopefully AC and his team will win it next year.

They hate us because we have better looking sisters and cousins....... laugh.gif

Buford says he is coming back too, that would be a nice addition if he does as well. With the leadership leaving, Craft I bet will not only carry the point guard duties he will slowly start becoming one of the leaders of the team. Not to bad for a soon to be Soph. from LB. Great season for him. He was already back in the gym, trying to get better. Kicking himself for not playing better. He is such a competitor.

LBHS didn't your mother ever tell you if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything. sleep.gif

LOL. From what I see here the better looking part would not be hard.

Nice.....2 things jump out at me on the honor bestowed on Aaron from the link....1) He is a freshman while all the other recipients are either juniors or seniors....2) The selection committee. It is a mix of sports writers, coaches and sports analysts.

Congrats Aaron.....

But most of that comedy has been displayed by just one or two fun loving individuals. Aaron Craft had one great freshman year and with his work ethic he will only get better and better. I love watching Sullinger, but it many ways watching Craft's game might be an even more enjoyable work of art.

Be interesting to see how Craft adapts to sliding over to the 2 guard position next year.

Fixed........................Kidding, but I can see Craft staying at point for majority of the playing time and then sliding into the 2 slot when Scott is in the game. I still think Craft will be the main floor general for the Bucks, but could be wrong

Diebler?
Seriously? Dude can't ball man, come on.

He has NO GAME. Won't even get invited to a tryout for an NBDL team.



Jon Diebler was Drafted 51st (2nd round)..................not really saying much in what is considered one of the weakest drafts ever. He may not even make the Trailblazers. But he was drafted.

Kind of surprised Diebs was drafted and Lighty was not.

Some people had Lauderdale having a chance of being taken late. I don't see it.

I'm shocked Diebler was drafted. Even so, he won't make the roster and will play overseas for somebody.
Gotta believe there were concerns about Lighty's knees.
Lauderdale brings nothing.

Yeah, and Aaron Craft would never see the floor at OSU his first year either. How did that prediction turn out for you? cool.gif
I think the scouts must think he has a shot, or they would have done like all the other teams, and just took a European player.

Will YOU EVER stop embarr######ing yourself?
You were dead wrong about Diebler and you are dead wrong about Craft.
Everybody is wrong now and then. Some like yourself are wrong more than others. But when young men finally grow up they admit their mistakes and go forward. And some just never grow.

As for Diebler, getting drafted is an accomplishment not many can ever talk about.
As for Craft, haha, that kid has game and his success wether you want to hear it or not will continue. He will be a mainstay for the Buckeyes next year whether he plays the point, 2 guard or gets the ######ignment of washing the team's uniforms. He's there, you and I are not. I bet he reads your comments here, I really hope he does, because one would think that has to give him the greatest pleasure of all. As an athlete watching the naysayers swallow one sour pill after another has to be so rewarding.

I'm still not sold on Craft. He has played very well playing the role he has been asked to play. Nothing wrong with that, but let's not retire his jersey just yet.

As for Diebler...come on. He can shoot 3's......period.

And the role is point guard. Not sure how that has not sold you. A point guard is a distributor, and manages the tempo of the game. Has little to no turnovers. He does that. Scores when needed, but gets the ball to the scorers. Ask Durant, I bet he would love to have a point guard like Aaron, who didn't feel they had to have 25 points a game. The only thing that may slow Aaron's performance down is his surrounding cast, and as far as I can tell he will have people who will score around again next year.
