I saw that earlier...which probably means Travis Ford might not be coming back either since he is already in the hot seat and without Forte OSU probably finishes in the bottom 2 of the conference.

@JayHawkFanToo unless forte coming back goes w/ford coming back too.

@Crimsonorblue22

If he has not been on the court at all for close to two months, chances are he is not coming back this season.

Maybe Marcus Smart can "flop" back onto the Cowboy roster....

(bad joke)

@Crimsonorblue22

Forte will be a fifth year senior next season and if he graduates in the spring he can go anywhere else and play immediately. I would think there are lots of teams that would take an experienced and well above average shooter senior PG.

@JayHawkFanToo do you think he's loyal to ford?

Hard to tell...

The chances of Forte playing pro ball are very slim. He might choose to play one more year and get part of a graduate degree paid for or he might opt to not risk and further injury and get started with his career...of course, if his future career involves basketball/coaching, then he will likely play one more year, whether it is at OSU...I don't really know but I would think that he would stay since moving to a bigger program would not improve his odds to play pro. Now, if he wants to get a graduate degree at a more prestigious school. he might leave OSU....a year under Larry Brown at SMU, for example, might not be a bad idea and might get him started in a coaching career.
