This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Excerpt from the local sports page this morning on him: by G.K.Chesterton

Front of the sports page, under the fold.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Carton averaged 10.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 20 games as a freshman for the Buckeyes. He stepped away from the team in January to focus on his mental health, then decided to transfer. That made him a good candidate to receive the waiver to play next season.

But the NCAA is not transparent about the waiver process and there is expected to be a high number of waiver requests this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. So Carton getting a waiver in June was a bit of a surprise.

"We've been on top of it since the beginning," Wojciechowski said. "I think D.J. had a strong case. He had the support of the people from Ohio State. I think all of those things played a role.

"We wanted to get it in as soon as possible, before the football waivers. Our compliance staff did a great job. D.J. and his family did a great job. Ohio State was really good to work with."

Carton is an explosive athlete who gives MU the dynamic perimeter player that it needs next season after losing all-time leading scorer Markus Howard.

"He's got some things from a physical standpoint that you just can't coach," Wojciechowski said. "He's got some gifts. He's very good in the pick and roll. He's a very unselfish player. He'll make the guys around him better."
