Brush High basketball player Curtis Oakley to Bryant University

Tim Rogers, Plain Dealer, February 14, 2012 3:26 p.m.

Lyndhurst, Ohio - Brush senior Curtis Oakley Jr. has made an oral commitment to attend Bryant University on a basketball scholarship and said he will sign a national letter of intent on April 11.

Bryant is a Division I school located a short distance from Providence, R.I., and is a member of the Northeastern Conference. Former Ohio University coach Tom O’Shea is in his fourth season as head coach and former St. Edward standout Frankie Dobbs is a member of the team.

Oakley, a 6-4 senior, is averaging 19 points and 7.5 rebounds for Brush, which took a 14-3 record into Tuesday’s game at Solon. The Arcs are ranked seventh in The Plain Dealer Top 25 and share first place in the Northeast Ohio River Division.

Oakley, the nephew of former NBA star Charles Oakley, said Bryant officials contacted him after watching him play in the Dunk 4 Diabetes Shootout last month at Walsh University. He made an official visit last week and an offer was made.

Reminds me of when Woody Hayes called Indiana's coach "Lou Corso."

So TOS is in his fourth season and he's still referred to as "former Ohio University coach."  I guess he'll never be "Bryant coach" until he has some success there.

That's a very nice pick up for Bryant. My youngest daughter goes to the same high school and we've seen him play-he's very good. That's a good "get" for O'Shea.
