Should be interesting to watch (along with K. Johnson should me make it in...still in school, so there's a chance), but it's a risk that Ford absolutely 110% has to take. If OSU is ever going to get the fans back, they have to 1. return to being ranked, make a semi-deep run in the tournament and 2. have some star power. Nash could potentially bring them both.
I really hope Nash can be Ford's Griffin, a guy that can go very high in the draft and have these top Texas guys looking at Ford as a guy that can get them to the league, Nash's year at OSU could potentially be what makes or breaks Ford, if you ask me.
