Big Ten Staying Put

The list of early entree prospects for the 2009 NBA draft were released last week. The only name on it from the Big Ten? B.J. Mullens, freshman, C, Ohio State.

This isn't very interesting news. However, it is Mullens' teammate Mark Titus that made the pre-draft process interesting.

Titus decided to enter the draft last Thursday, a joke that NBA commissioner didn't take very well. The junior guard also announced his decision to withdraw his name on his blog Club Trillion that same day.


You can read about the NBA's call to Ohio State's athletic director on Titus' latest blog post.
