  • Former Buckeye Offutt to be a Hoosier?
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Per InsideTheHall

Walter Offutt, a 6-3 guard from Warren Central in Indianapolis who originally signed with Ohio State and transferred to Wright State, is on the move again.

We received a tip on Monday that Offutt would leave Wright State and consider walking-on at Indiana and now The Dayton Daily News is reporting it as a possibility:

Walter Offutt, a 6-foot-3 guard who transferred to Wright State from Ohio State in the winter, will leave WSU when the current quarter ends, Offutt said today, April 21.

Offutt said he is considering walking on to the roster at Indiana or possibly joining former OSU assistant coach John Groce at Ohio University, where Groce is the head coach.

Offutt was a four-star recruit in the 2008 class, but played in just 21 games as a freshman at Ohio State and in two games last fall as a sophomore before transferring to Wright State.

He averaged 17.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.1 steals as a junior at Warren Central before missing his senior season due to injury.

Offutt would likely have two years of eligibility remaining.

What's the word Btown? Possibility or not?
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

I'm guessing he left when Brad Brownell took the Clemson job. I like Brownell, hate Clemson. Hope he does well there so he can go somewhere else.

Tremendous improvement over Moore and Rivers, but Rivers will be gone by the time Offutt becomes eligible. Although, if he was to walk-on, would he be eligible right away? I am not sure on this because he definitely had to sit out after transferring to Wright State.

yes he would be eligible immediately. that's why he wants to walk on.

I really dont think a 4 star recruit could take Finkleberger's spot on this team. Talk about an uphill climb.

Finky graduated. Daniel Moore will be much more difficult to beat out. When it comes to sliding on the floor for no reason, driving to the baseline and then bailing out, and artistic layups he's second to none.

Damn, I guess it's off to dental school for the Fink.

Well that would be fantastic, I think. Downsides? If he walks on and we use up our schollies for the next couple years is that a dick move on our part?
