  1. PF Kyle Young (Official Thread)

    I love what he brings to the team and he had a great all around game last night, but his offensive numbers go down when we start making some shots.
  2. #16 Ohio State vs. Cincinnati, Wednesday, November 6 @ 8:30pm, FS1

    The thing is, the offense wasn't working that badly in the first half. Kaleb was getting their bigs in foul trouble trying to push him out of position. The problem we had was being a little too impatient (forcing some drives) and not making any shots (from the foul line or perimeter). They...
  3. #16 Ohio State vs. Cedarville, Wednesday Oct. 30, 7 pm, BTN+

    Thanks for the video. Not going to come to any stark conclusions based on one exhibition game, but the frosh looked pretty much how I expected. Carton is ready and while he will make frosh mistakes, looks like he should be starting soon. Liddell will have a significant role and probably best...

    unfortunately no. I think for a medical redshirt you can only play in the first 1/4 of the season or like 8 games. If Diallo is only going to play in garbage time, you redshirt him. Garbage time isn't adding any more experience than practice time. On the other hand, you have no idea whether...

    0 unless there is an injury.
  6. #16 Ohio State vs. Cedarville, Wednesday Oct. 30, 7 pm, BTN+

    Glorified scrimmage and no Diallo in the first half?
  7. C Kaleb "Bully" Wesson ('18 All B1G Freshman, '19 Honorable Mention All B1G, '20 2nd Team All B1G)

    I am as excited as anyone to see what this years version of Kaleb looks like, but for a guy who didn't make one of the first 3 teams in his conference last year to be the 6th best player in the nation raises some eyebrows. Was Gassaway present for the UL scrimmage? Obviously we are all...
  8. 2019-2020 B1G Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    IT always takes some time to replace key cogs that have been in the rotation for 3-4 years. They are replacing Ward, Goins and McQuaid. Individually you might not think any one guy is that difficult to replace as they have guys that look capable of stepping in, but thats a lot of experience...
  9. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    Seems reasonable. Enough questions to think we could be in the 10-30 range depending on how those questions get answered. We should comfortably be a tourney team with seeding dependent on things we just don't know yet. Preseason Bracketology has us as a 5 seed. MSU ranked #1 which wasn't...
  10. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    Ahrens has been out quite some time (back injured over the summer) and still isn't playing. I'd say its maybe 50/50 that he will be back for UC.
  11. SG Luther Muhammad (transfer to Arizona St.)

    Agree on the need scoring part. I think the offense goes through Kaleb or with Carton creating, so I don't know that we need a bunch of "scorers" (shot makers) per say, but we do need guys to be able to hit open shots and drive when the opportunity presents itself.
  12. 2019-2020 Ohio State Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    Well, that doesn't mean much without perspective. Is that percentage during inter squad scrimmages, does it include drills, some combination of the 2, who was defending him (none of the other 3s have been healthy). IIRC, Deibler would shoot over 70% in game simulated shooting drills in...
  13. PG C.J. Walker (Official Thread)

    I think CJ will bring something that the team needs this year, but I think this article overplays the kind of role CJ had on that E8 FSU team. IT seems the main reason he transferred was because he felt as if he was losing playing time and would be beaten out the following year. Also, while...
  14. OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

    Similar players, but Key is a little more mobile and Hugley is a little bigger and think he's a bit stronger in the post. I think Hugley is more suited to C.
  15. 2019-2020 B1G Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    I've seen a far number of people and publications predicting that Walker starts. If Walker starts, its hard to see Carton getting more than 20 minutes a game because I don't see them playing together that much. But, if DJ is clearly the best frosh in the league this year, I don't see how he...
  16. 2019-2020 B1G Men's Basketball (Official Thread)

    I suspect Jalen Smith will be first team over Kaleb. Kid has skills and is very athletic and should get many more opportunities without Fernando. If Carton and Liddell are the 2 best frosh in the league, it should be a very good year for us.
  17. C Kaleb "Bully" Wesson ('18 All B1G Freshman, '19 Honorable Mention All B1G, '20 2nd Team All B1G)

    People tell him to lose weight to improve his quickness and jumping. While less weight will certainly improve those areas, much of ones athletic potential is determined by genetics and his genetics are not in his favor. It is good to hear how seriously he took the off season training and it...
  18. '21 MN C Chet Holmgren (Gonzaga Verbal)

    Its crazy enough that a 7 footer has those kinds of ball skills, then you add that he is only entering his junior season and you wander how he isn't #1 in the class. Obviously needs to add strength and weight, but no reason to think those things won't come.
  19. C Zed "Finger Guns" Key (transfer to Dayton)

    I don't agree that Key plays a similar game. Kaleb throws his weight around to get position and is quite a bit bigger. Key relies more on footwork and hustle.
  20. C Zed "Finger Guns" Key (transfer to Dayton)

    Yeah, if we don't add another big, I tend to think we will see a lot of Liddell/Gaffney/Young playing in the front court (2 at a time). The only center we will have on the team is Diallo and I think he needs a few years to be a viable option.
