Sullinger Waiting For Release
J.J. Sullinger, a 6-6, 192-pound combo freshman guard from Arkansas, has not gotten his release yet from the Razorbacks. Sullinger has indicated due to the departure of head coach Nolan Richardson he would like to find another school ot play for, according to sources.
Sullinger played last season at Worthington H.S. in Worthington, Ohio. While Sullinger was at Worthington High School, schools that recruited him were Dayton, St. Joe's, Iowa, Rutgers, Houston, St. Louis, Marshall, Miami of Ohio, Northern Illinois, Colorado, Bowling Green and Ohio University.

Sullinger has ideal size for a combo guard, and he's an adept slasher who can get to the free throw line frequently. His three point shot is awkward in that he only launches it via a set shot.
He was the third leading scorer at Arkansas as a freshman averaging 10.7 points and the second ranked rebounder with 3.3 boards per game. He also averaged 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game with a 1.80 assist/turnover ratio.
Sources tell us that Arkansas wants Sullinger to speak to its new head coach, Stan Heath, before seeking a transfer. Sullinger, if given the release, would likely land at Ohio State.
