Most of the time when recruits turn down OSU for another school, it's common practice to still wish the kid well in his future endeavors. I agree with the sentiment and takes some of the fanaticism out of following the sport. With that in mind I present the case of BJ Mullens. Many of the posters on scout seem intent on wishing him well in his future plans. I have this nagging feeling that this doesn't fall within the category I described above. Most rumors have stated that he didn't work hard at all when he was here. He clearly had the view that this was going to be a one year stop and more of a bother than an opportunity to improve his game. As a fan of his team, is it overly bitter of me to not wish injury, but not exactly root for his success. For one, his success will only bolster the opinion that what he did here was ok, and that this doesn't exactly send a good message for our Class of 2009 high schoolers. I do want to preface this by saying, I do support most kids that leave. I agree with Conley's decision to go and wish him well. He also worked hard while he was here and was a team player.
