Look Who's Transferring Now (The Basketball Portal)

Looks like OSU has missed out on both of their original top portal targets. Rob Wright has chosen to return to BYU and Jalen Haralson has committed to Tennessee.

Not to seem like sour grapes but I think Haralson is a bit overrated, he's a decent player but he has some major flaws (especially when it comes to shooting) I think some in this fan base were gassing him up a little much.

It would have been great to land Haralson IMO, but at this point I'm just hoping for a team with legitimate quality depth this season. No college player is flawless, but Haralson has tantalizing talent - obviously his jumpshot is a huge question-mark but he still managed 16 ppg without one & the other thing that makes me question Haralson is why he only averaged playing 26 minutes when he was by far the leading scorer on a terrible ND team. Makes me think if he's by far the most talented guy on the team but still not playing over 30 minutes, there must be some other flaw to his game.

The Buckeyes seem to have the frontcourt in OK shape, now need 2-3 guys to play the 1-3 positions that are better than 1-4 ppg scorers.

I'm hoping for Jimmie Williams and a PG type that's at least somewhat better than Cupps

That with Jelavic and Ivan as big subs would give us a sizeable improvement over last year's bench.
