Have fun sitting on the bench He's damned good out our "level" but once he goes to the highest level he's gonna have 3 guys just like him to compete against for playing time, and the opponents will have huge guys to throw at him. His one move of "bull defenders over" won't necessarily work in the Big 10. Big dudes are gonna keep him off the block so he'll have to be able to step out and hit 15 footers consistently. Interesting thoughts. Ohio lost Van der Plas to UVA and Sears to Alabama. Both have played major roles this year on their new teams. Not sure if Sparks skillset is in the same league as those 2 when it comes down to it but they both seemed to find a good fit where they ended up. Overall, their story is not really the norm when looking at where transfers across the NCAA level up but we have seen a few in this tourney that have used the opportunity to their advantage. I would think the Ohio kid at Virginia has to be in a subsequent masters or a doctoral program by now. Would be interesting to see how many MAC transfers "up" have had similar success at their next program.

I thought that when I saw Nike today. Watched him win a class title at Conseco (or whatever they call it now) and Oscar hung a medal round his neck. Good move for him.
