Doug Taylor, James Gollon and Gavin Block - you guys played your guts out and battled injuries during your careers here. Proud to be an alumnus of a school with guys like you graduating. We didn't win as many games as we would have liked, but graduating class-act gentlemen who will do great things in life is always a positive. Hope you guys have successful careers after Ohio.

++1 While we'd all like to win a championship every year, it just wasn't meant to be this year. Thank you for all of the great memories you created for me and my friends over the years and best of luck to each and everyone of you as you travel down this road of life. May the journey be filled with an abundance of blessings. Once a Bobcat, Always a Bobcat!!!

Wish them all well. Still not sure how Gavin's confidence went downhill after his Freshman year. That's a head scratcher.

I don't know if his confidence necessarily declined or if his limitations were magnified after his Freshmen season. Think about who he was surrounded by during his Freshmen year: Tony, Jaaron, Jordy...he didn't have to be one of the go-to guys so anything he did was a cherry on top of the sundae. The last two years, he's been asked to do more with less around him. And I have to think his body has taken a beating the past four years. He never shied away from contact.

Either way, Gavin busted tail for Ohio and I hope he goes on to coaching young men to do the same.

Congrats to all the Seniors! Very impressed with Doug’s performance in the last couple games! Wish he had another season. Sorry, James suffered a career ending injury. Wish him well. Best wishes to Gavin. Class act for the team to acknowledge Jaylin McDonald on senior night as he made a tough decision to end his basketball experience early due to class/ basketball schedule conflict. Good Luck Seniors!!!!
