Jared Sullinger Will Return to Ohio State

Excerpt from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:

Ohio State freshman Jared Sullinger promised he will return for his sophomore season, and Ohio State coach Thad Matta was not surprised by that promise in the shadow of the Buckeyes' 62-60 loss to Kentucky.

"I'm going to be an Ohio State Buckeye next year," Sullinger said. "Winning is that important to me. I don't like losing. This is not what I came here to do. This is not what I came here for, to sit here and see my seniors crying. I came here to win a national championship, to see them celebrate. I wanted to tears of joy with these guys."

"I'm a man of my word," Sullinger said. "I won't change my mind for nobody. This is what I want. This is where I'm happy. I'm happy being an Ohio State Buckeye and playing for coach Matta."
