BuckeyeXtra - The Columbus Dispatch : Summer study abroad

Ohio State sophomore Zisis Sarikopoulos doesn't expect to get a big offer from the European pros while playing for Greece, as Kosta Koufos did.

Sounds like a pretty honest young man. It also relates to the complexity of recruiting the best players.. trying to get them into feeling like a team.

[Andy S]

Sounds very grounded as well, unlike the last 2 7 footers we've had

I know I am premature in saying this but from all I have heard and read about this young man it sounds like Coach has a diamond in the rough with this young man who really sounds like he has his head screwed on straight and knows that the experience this summer and hopefully two or three as a Buckeye will do nothing but enhance his full potential down the road.
It's a sorry shame that our previous big men were blinded by their ego's and blown out of proportion self worth.

The articles says that he hasn't played a game for OSU yet. Didn't he play in one game maybe in January and then injure himself the next day in pratice, or something like that? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Bagsy, you are thinking of Nikola Kecman, the 6-foot-8 forward who played against Houston Baptist in January after sitting out 12 games due to an NCAA ruling, then injured himself in practice three days later.
