Chet Holmgren breaks down his move against Steph Curry
...

“I’m going to try and get some officials in during the school year,” he said. “Maybe some unofficials, I live right by Minnesota so I’ll stop by there a couple of times, definitely see some games this winter.”

“I want to go see Gonzaga, get down to Purdue, Texas, Ohio State and then figure out my last one,” he added.

he lists a lot of schools in that interview, but it certainly seems as though he's singling out osu as one his junior-year officials. at this stage, can't expect much better news than that.

think the challenge for osu is that the program under ho1tmann has yet to cultivate a top-notch post player who plays outside his shadow. purdue, gonzaga, and texas have done that recently. assistant coach johnson appears to be very good from a game-planning standpoint, but he's not exactly a hot name for player development at the post. would be great for the program going forward if kaleb shines this year as a dynamic player.

Seven-footer, No. 4 basketball recruit in nation for 2021, visits Ohio State first
...

He will visit Gonzaga during the weekend of Oct. 5. And an unofficial visit to nearby Minnesota is on tap for this weekend. But first, Holmgren and his parents made their first official visit last weekend when they went to Ohio State.

“Well, that was Chet’s decision,” his father, David Holmgren, told The Dispatch. “That really wasn’t up to us. I guess you could say he had a soft spot in his heart for Ohio State since he was a kid. He kind of became an Ohio State fan when (Jared) Sullinger was there. That might’ve had something to do with it. He wanted to go there, so I said OK, let’s go.”

...

“The visit was fun,” David Holmgren said. “It was informative, beautiful campus, and the coaches were very hospitable and got their message across very clearly. He gets to spend some of the time with the kids, we get to spend all the time with the coaches, basically.

“Honestly, it’s really hard to kind of get a feel for it in two days. This was our first visit, so everybody’s on their best behavior so it’s really hard to say if there was anything derogatory about it. I guess time will tell as we get to talking to them more and seeing them more how that all works out.”

The highlight, he said, was that “the kids seemed genuinely comfortable there with the staff and their surroundings, and that was nice to see.”

so holmgren has had a soft spot for osu basketball since he was a kid and that's why he wanted to visit us first, you say?
