On this episode of Hangout in the Holy Land, Josh and Chuck (finally!) talk a little Ohio State basketball, as they take a look at Brice Sensabaugh’s NBA potential. Will the Buckeyes’ top scorer from a year ago become a top dog in the league? Or is he simply too one-dimensional? The guys struggle to come up with a strong pro comp for Sensabaugh but agree that he has plenty of work to do.

The hosts then recap an exciting week of recruiting news for OSU football, highlighted by a couple of commitments from the Cleveland Glenville pipeline.

And it would not be a summer episode without out at least some theme-week-related conversation. LGHL’s theme this week is Broken Records, which motivated the Hangout boys to scour sportsbooks for Marvin Harrison Jr. props.

Plus, a few questions sent in by you, the listener(s).

Make sure to like, rate, review, and subscribe to the podcast! And as always, Go Bucks!

LGHL Ohio State women’s basketball adds Finland international Elsa Limmelä to 2024 class

The 6-foot-6 center brings size to the paint in a strong recruiting class

After adding three players already to its 2024 recruiting class, the Ohio State women’s basketball team isn’t done. On Tuesday, head coach Kevin McGuff added his fourth commit in Finland youth international Elsa Lemmilä.

Lemmilä is a 6-foot-6 center who plays with youth club Tapiolan Honka, in her native Finland. Outside of club basketball, Lemmilä’s represented her country on the senior and multiple youth levels.

With Honka, Lemmilä averaged 15.8 points and 10.0 rebounds per game. On the international stage, Lemmilä’s only played for the Finnish senior side five times, most recently in February. The center had 15 rebounds and 12 points across the two games.

When playing against opponents Lemmilä’s age, at the youth level, the center’s excelled. In the 2022 women’s U18 European Championship, the big was seventh in the tournament averaging 9 rebounds per game, and 10th overall in scoring with 12.9 points per game.

The center’s addition to the Buckeyes adds a solid presence to the paint for future Ohio State sides. Lemmilä will join incoming 2023 freshman center Faith Carson for the next generation of scarlet and gray centers. It also continues the program’s trend of bringing in European bigs.

Since the 2018/19 season, the five-position’s been held by either Hungarian Dorka Juhász or Slovakian Rebeka Mikulášiková.

Over three seasons, Juhász was vital for the success of McGuff’s Buckeyes. The forward averaged 13 points and 9.6 rebounds for Ohio State before transferring to perennial college basketball powerhouse UConn.

Since the start of the 21/22 season, it’s been Mikulášiková at the helm following Juhász’ transfer. Mikulášiková brought size and the ability to shoot from deep.

After starting one game in 44 appearances in Mikulášiková’s first two seasons, the forward started 57 of 63 games over the past two years. The only time Mikulášiková went to a bench role was the end of the 22/23 season, after suffering an ankle injury.

Something that Lemmilä doesn’t have that the other two European Buckeyes possessed was the ability to shoot from three-point range. In the 22/23 season for Honka, Lemmilä took 25 attempts in 27 games, hitting four of those attempts.

In McGuff’s 5-out offense, bigs who can shoot from distance are usually favored, but Ohio State’s late run saw the Buckeyes’ head coach steer away from that with forward Eboni Walker. With Walker starting, Ohio State made it to the Elite Eight, before losing to the Virginia Tech Hokies. It shows the adaptability of the system under McGuff’s tenure.

If Lemmilä can join, adjust and make an impact in the rebounding game, it’ll help a program who was ranked 11th in the Big Ten in rebounds per game.

Lemmilä will join in 2024 with guard Ava Watson, forward Ella Hobbs and guard/forward Seini Hicks.
