Ohio State announced that the school will raise Evan Turner’s No. 21 to the rafters of Value City Arena on Feb. 16. His jersey will hang among other Buckeye legends, such as Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek, Jim Jackson, and Gary Bradds.
MostOhio State hoops fans took the news with the appropriate amount of duh-it’s-about-time-ness that such an announcement should elicit, though there was a scattering of people who expressed surprise that this former national player of the year was being honored. There were even a few people who seemed to be against it. Some cited an average NBA career, which has nothing to do with what he did at Ohio State.
