Been told Ohio State's Amedeo Della Valle has been periodically stopping by Mattaritaville with donuts. He's more than just the hair, folks.

Matta said Amadeo Della Valle got into the game because he's been playing very well in practice. "He cares a lot."

Update..........

DELLA VALLE EN ROUTE TO ESTONIA. Summers can be fluid for our men's basketball team. Some players get invited for national team play (like Under-20 (U20) or Under-23 (U23) tournaments). Other members of the team remain in Columbus and work with various program alumni and other professional basketball players who come to Columbus to work with Chris Jent, shooting specialist. Ohio State sophomore-to-be and unofficial team mascot, Amedeo Della Valle, will be spending his summer in Estonia playing for Italy's U20 basketball team. The Under 20 European Championships begin in Tallinn on July 9.

Della Valle did not receive many minutes as a true freshman. This belies how promising he is to the future of Italian national basketball, which already has senior players like Marco Belinelli and Danilo Gallinari. Della Valle was the leading scorer on Italy's U18 team in the 2011 U18 European Championship games before getting injured in the quarterfinals. The Azzurri finished 4th place in that tournament, which precluded them from finishing on the podium. That same year, the U20 team for Italy finished in second place, losing to Spain in the final game.

Italy is in Group D of the tournament, beginning the tournament against France on July 9. France lost in the final game to Lithuania in Slovenia in last year's U20 tournament in Europe. The Czech Republic, hosts Estonia, and Slovenia are also in Group D.

The hope is Della Valle gains valuable experience from this and that Italy goes deep into the tournament. I'm not sure Della Valle is more than a "seventh man" in this upcoming season of Ohio State basketball, but he will likely have our surest jump shot this season.

Della Valle was fun as a true freshman, mostly because his inclusion in games coincided with some fan-friendly "mayhem" on the court, for which he may or may not have been directly responsible. Further, Della Valle is a fan favorite largely because he looks like an average college student, seems to genuinely enjoy his "college" experience, and is engaging on Twitter. That he will improve his overall game with this experience is beneficial to Ohio State men's basketball and its fans.
