VT F Trevor Thompson to transfer to Ohio State
Virginia Tech freshman forward Trevor Thompson is going to transfer to Ohio State. He is the second transfer forward to choose Ohio State in the last 2 weeks after landing Temple graduate transfer Anthony Lee. Thompson may be eligible next season as he may apply for a hardship waiver.
Not sure what Thad Matta is selling, but the transfers are buying for some reason even with senior starter Amir Williams returning. Indiana and Tom Crean have now struck out on two of the big time transfers they were targeting to Ohio State.

senior transfers are becoming the new free agency.. . .
Did you even read the OP? Trevor Thompson isn't a senior
Trevor will no doubt play center for OSU. Trevor at center and Lee at PF. That gives them two 6'11" guys and a 6'9" for bigs. All who are solid.
Lee and Thompson probably won't see the court at the same time unless he gets the hardship waiver. Lee seems like the stopgap as he only has one year to contribute since he is doing the 5th year transfer deal. Either way, both of them are big gets for OSU.
Ohio State sells them on not having to go to classes.
I'm not even joking.
They ain't come to play school. Classes are pointless.
Whatever. We will still beat them next season.
They've pumped so much into the Polaris and Easton areas and now the Short North which used to be "the ghetto."
German Village, Arena District, Columbus sucks because it's OSU, but it's actually a great place to live. It's like Charlotte of the midwest IMO.
I've always hated that argument, people act like Ann Arbor/Detroit is widely considered a great place to live by many people from many different walks of life. I was born in Detroit, lived there until I was 7, family still lives there, moved to Ann Arbor, lived their until I was 15 and spent 3 years in Columbus before going to college and coming back "home" over the summers back to Columbus.
I can see why people would want to live in all 3 cities, but they're all completely different. Especially today.
I'll tell you this, if Columbus wasn't home to OSU...I wouldn't mind living in a city like that, it's got enough "city" for people like the city and plenty in the suburbs and surrounding area where if that's your speed you never have to go in the city.
I love Charlotte and hate Columbus, and it's only because Columbus is in Ohio and home to OSU.
Been to Columbus a few times and it seems like a normal suburbia city that did not stand out for many other normal suburbian cities...but I have not seen all the places; mostly the northern part i.e. Dublin.
Generally places like Ann Arbor and Madison have a very college feel but even Ann Arbor I consider 2 cities - there is the college portion and then the other portion where you have biotech companies and the like situated. So I am only speaking to the college portion and up to say Main Street.
Columbus is an interesting city because a lot of companies are locating there and a lot of tests to see consumers taste are done there because its a pretty decent cross section of Americana. Not too heavily influenced by one sub culture or another like the southwest, east coast, or deep south. A bit like say Orlando. But its not in that upper tier of "medium/large sized cities people flock to." - generally you see names like Raleigh, Austin, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland in that group. But I am sure it is a solid town - most cities have great pockets.

Hypnosis...
Now you will transfer.
Take it easy on Amir. It's hard to catch the ball when the coaches are always on your dick.
Man, TOSU is on fire recruiting, but then they obviously need some players.
