Eh what the Hell. Why not. He can use his dad's honorary locker that he has even though he didn't play here.
If he had played here a year I think it would have been a pretty mean team. Many Buckeyes disagree and insist that the 03-04 team was so bad that it wouldn't have even mattered. But I think that that's ridiculous. For one thing he's proven that he can put a team of scrubs on his back and win a title. But if you look at the pieces that they actually had, they complimented his game pretty well.
He would have been in the same class as Ivan Harris, who were the top two rated Ohio recruits coming in. So LeBron would have started at the PG instead of Brandon Fuss Cheatham. Bang! Right there you've replaced the worst starter on the team with the best player in the World. And that's the guy bringing the ball up the court.
On the wings you had Tony Stockman and JJ Sullinger. Stockman was a chucker but he could drain threes so he'd be bulking up LeBron's assists. He also lead the team in steals, so he was a good lock up defender.
Terrance Dials was a beast of a center. That's the year he missed most of the season after hurting his back, but maybe that doesn't happen with LeBron out there commanding so much attention.
Off the bench would be Radinovic and Sylvester. Pretty good team.

With James, LBJ James, the Buckeyes would have been beastly.  Think Magic Johnson good when he guided Michigan St to glory. Having Dials and Radinovic would be HUGE>  Sylvester could shoot and setting him up and flying James through the lane for pass or post??? Would draw many fouls and see many dunks  Stockman would have helped. Harris would be on that team?  And Fuss Cheatham? If so they would have been beastly.

Agreed. He would have made that team exponentially better

Ugh, Tony Stockman. My most disliked hooper that has worn S&G that did not get arrested or embarrassed the program some way. Absolutely hated his game. Mebbe he never comes from Clemson if LBJ is here.

leBron would only have gotten OSU into a NCAA investigation and any games or tournaments won erased from the record books.
Well documented him and his mom had their hands out and pocket books stuffed while he was still at ASVSM.
Was never eligible for college bb by the rules that were in place then.
