I will link to an article about Ohio State basketball recruiting and where they might be going. The article says that they probably will take 1 grad transfer and maybe a "regular" transfer.
maybe i'm missing something, but i'm counting 10 scholarship players next season (provided kbd's departure):
this tells me a couple things. first, beggars can't be choosers. losing three wings scorers means we'll take what we can get without the stipulation of backcourt position. second, i think the staff sees both washington and muhammad as "competent enough" ballhandlers. any two of jackson/washington/muhammad should provide the sufficient ballhandling, scoring, and defense up top. throw in ahrens, jallow, and at least one ballhandling wingish player and we should be more than good to go. a point or combo guard would be great, but i think a scoring wing is more important than a point guard for next year.
Isn’t Joey Lane on scholarship?
No disrespect to Joey, but there is a difference between being on scholarship and being a scholarship player. He is just using a ship that would be going vacant.
But my point is, it counts towards the number. So the conversation going back and forth regarding how many graduate transfers we could take, Joey was never mentioned.
He wasn't mentioned because he only gets a scholarship if we don't fill our limit with other players. He doesn't factor into the discussion really
So this is wrong? Just asking!!
Joey is on a basketball scholarship because we have one to give out for the past season which would cover the past academic year (2017-18). The scholarship, like all athletic scholarships, are renewable from one year to the next. Joey is a walk-on player who the coach chose to give a scholarship. I suppose if we only sign 2 players for next year and Holtmann wants to give Joey the remaining scholarship. Joey Lane will then have a scholarship. If we have 13 players on scholarship without Joey, his scholarship will not be renewed.
