Yeah - I can't wait for the Tulsa Sports Talk hacks to rant to their audience that Ohio State doesn't belong in Division 1 because they obviously don't know how to run an athletic program if they fire a coach this late in the year. Wishful thinking...

I think they typically let the internationals stay home until late July when the entire team gathers on campus for workouts, etc. prior to the start of the school year. Can't speak for the Jordans, but since they are upperclassmen they might not be required to attend summer workouts. I think as in years past the summer workouts are primarily for incoming freshmen, and maybe incoming transfers, and maybe they're open to local players or even players that are taking summer classes, like Lakota. I am pretty sure that Alexa Scott won't be back, I saw something recently on social media that referred to her as a 'retired athlete' and I believe she's moved back home to Norman for good. Good job on who's who in the picture, from what I can tell almost everyone is identified correctly. I've filled in the ??? and I see only one correction, which is for Coach Binam, that is Jaci Inman (formerly Jaci Bigham, who I think is still our DOBO (Director of Basketball Operations)): Starting from Chris Wallace's left and going around it looks like: Mayberry A. Beatty Ihim ??? (I'm almost positive that this is Katie Kirkhart, she was on the women's golf team last year, I'm not sure if she is a walk-on or what) Torrey? (face blocked) (I think you are right) Lippe Hurst Skalnik L. Beatty Coach Binam (Jaci Inman, Director of Basketball Operations, I believe) Schumacher ??? (I'm pretty sure this is Sarah Garvie, she played last season at NOC-Enid and signed with us in April, she will be a sophomore) A few notes of interest: Lakota had back surgery right after graduation in early May and everything went well, she is on track to start working out again late this summer or early this fall and should be ready to play when next season starts. Congratulations to Jaci and her husband Tyler, they welcomed their son Brooks into the world in late April. Congratulations to Assistant Coach Janae Voelker, who got married recently. Her married name is now Janae Inman. Same last name as Jaci, but I'm not sure of the family connection. Individual and team camps are getting ready to start, it's always a good time for the coaches to be able to identify and evaluate players with potential and start (and continue) relationships with area players and coaches. I have to think that Maria Martianez and Montse Brotons will be back next season, but I'm not sure about Mia Marti. I also saw something recently, and then heard something recently, that we might have another international player joining us for next season, but I can't confirm.

BTW, according to the Columbus Dispatch, Matta's contract with Ohio State would have run through 2019/20. They will pay his remaining contract amounting to $9,000,000. In addition thereto, they paid him a $625,000 bonus in April of this year, even though the Buckeyes did not make the post season. Heck of a job managing their athletics programs by AD Gene Smith.

MSU Bears hang on and eliminate host Arkansas, 3-2...
