Did Lyle just commit to OSU?

[MikeRoberts 6,914]

Was hoping we would get him or he would leave the Midwest

He's probably DeAngelo Russell's replacement as Russell might go to the NBA after his Freshman year.

He tweeted a photo of the game about four hours ago.

@NDkendrick: Jaelan Sanford to Toledo & JaQuan Lyle to Ohio State #BuckeyeState #PocketCity

Ship sailed a long time ago.

Seen him play dont think were really missing out on anything

[OliviaPope40 6,376]

As they all say on to the next one.

[IU Bud 445]

I showed up to watch him play for a share of the city title only to discover he had gotten suspended for a fight at school with a team mate. He showed up at the game wearing an OSU sweatshirt. He was escorted out of the gym because suspended students can't attend extracurricular events.

 

Not surprised he picked OSU. Just relieved he isn't coming to IU. I saw his act for 3 years. He was a great talent with an awful attitude and bad team mate. My kids know him and they didn't want him either.

Dodged a bullet here.

Fixed it for you.

Glad we have a stacked recruiting class coming in and we can turn down a 5 star talent like Lyle. Oh, wait a minute.....we will wish we got this kid along with Giddens.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

We do not need a trouble situation added to the roster.

[alishedobbs 25]

Yes he did

[Stuhoo 79,300]

I think I can summarize the feelings of myself and many on this board by saying that:

 

1. We do not want Jaquan Lyle playing against us.
2. We do not want Jaquan Lyle playing for us.

[Bowhunter 2,693]

Crap

[Alford Bailey 12,339]

Gotta love all the holier than thou IU fans who judge this kid but give Crean and current players who are proven trouble a complete pass. You people are ridiculous.

[Alford Bailey 12,339]

I mean we are better off ,right? This kid MIGHT drive intoxicated on the wrong side of the road,MIGHT  use a fake ID at a bar, MIGHT fail multiple drug tests......really? Kudos to Matta......he just picked up a stud to replace his lottery pick.

[coonhounds 8,768]

Danged if u do danged if u dont. He will b a bad@@@ at Ohio st but would have just sucked and caused us problems. Just r luck now days

That's not entirely true.  I still say Stan should've been kicked off the team and Troy should've gotten more than what was essentially a two game suspension, those two have screwed up a respective 2 (Troy) and 3 (Stan) times.  Oh, and my feelings on Crean are well known.

 

Now that aside let me say this, I've also said the highly talented Indiana kids should be our top priority because being located in the heart of a recruiting hot bed is something many programs don't have and even I'm saying we don't want the headache that would likely come with this kid.  His talent is very real and undeniable, but there are A LOT of red flags.
