Koufos...Early Entry???

[XU05and07]

Declares for the draft, but doesn't hire an agent. Should he go or stay?

Per Chad Ford on ESPN.com-

Kosta Koufos, C, Ohio State*
He began his freshman season ranked as a potential Top 10 prospect, hit the wall midseason and finished strong. He's a very skilled big man with excellent perimeter skills. However, his so-so athleticism and rebounding ability limit his upside. Look for him to be a late-lottery to mid-first-round pick.

He'll make good money this year, and, barring injury, better money next year.

Not a good omen for Matta or for OSO. In my opinion, this sort of thing does everything but build a program. Really its nothing more than using mercenaries on a continual basis. I can understand that it could happen at any university, but not with the frquency of OSU.

Was it on this board or somewhere else where I read that Koufos was looking into playing in the Greek league? so he could leave OSU but get good playing time in a league that would pay him and allow him to develop

He must really be scared of Mullens. Koufos seems like the next Darko to me.
