Naismith held by a Buckeye.

So Evan Turner has finally done it. After a long season, that included a back-breaking performance (pun intended) on his return to the team, that led the Buckeyes to the Big Ten Title, and a Sweet Sixteen birth. Although he couldn't take them all the way, they might not have made it without him. Evan Turner's presence of just being on the court makes everyone better around him, and that is why he is considered great at what he does. Evan Turner is Ohio State's first player to win the Naismith, and that is something he can hold forever. The Buckeye Battle Cry said it best here:

"Earlier in the evening, Turner also won the Coaches Association player of the year award bringing his total of post-season POTY awards to 5. That number could become six in a couple days when the Wooden Award is announced - Turner is a finalist for that award."

Jared Sullinger, who won Player of the Year in high school, is attending the Ohio State University next year along with some more fantastic recruits. Thad Matta and Buckeye Nation await on the word of Evan Turner coming back or leaving. Although many want him back, I personally think he is leaning towards the NBA, and there's really nothing wrong with that. If he does come back, you can almost taste the championship trophy in your mouth, guaranteed. Of course, we will keep you updated on the status of where he goes, and all other Buckeye news.
