  Yeah, I would think he would be behind LaQ
  
  OSU could have a problem of almost too many guys next year. Assuming Sully leaves and Thomas stays, you have Thompson, Scott, Sibert, Ross, and Weatherspoon all fighting for basically 1 spot. That gives you 5 that could come off of the bench. 3 of which would be dead ringer starters on probably 3/4 of the teams in the NCAA. That gives you basically 8 starters, Sibert will most definitely come off the bench as well. That leaves Weatherspoon as the odd man out in a Matta type rotation.

  And don't forget, Matta always seems to have 1-2 Freshman who will see time.

  There may not be any Freshman.

  I have noticed that nothing is listed for the 2012 class, what is going on with that? I don't follow recruiting much

  Well, there were really only 2 spots to recruit. OSU is still in on Tony Parker, but other than that, I don't think OSU is in on anyone that would play next year. It really only hurts if Thomas leaves. There will probably be room for a walk-on or two. We'll probably see a good class in '13 when we'll have 3 or 4 spots open.
