OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

I read that he’s a grad transfer. Why is it unlikely the he would have immediate eligibility?

There are some conflicting reports. He has only been at Bucknell for 3 years. I guess if he somehow graduates early this Spring or Summer he could be a grad transfer, but I don't think that will be the case. Jimmy is a good solid add to the team - if he were eligible this upcoming season, he would be a great add.

Nice. OSU played against him in December, 2018 when he was with Bucknell.

35 minutes, 12 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, 2 assists.

He is a good player. People will underrate him based on him coming from Bucknell. He isn't a one-dimensional player and I think he has good knowledge of the game and the right mindset to be part of a team.

Duncomb at IU will be the latest in Ohio players that some Buckeye fans will cry about every time he does something good.

Of current 2021 big man offers, sounds like we are down to Reid, Etienne, and Clemence.

no Bediako or are we too low on the food chain for him I seriously do not know

If OSU adds another player for next season, almost certainly a grad transfer.

I sure hope so and I hope it is a big I would like to have a scholarship or two available for a couple guys that we are in on for 2021 Brown, Branham, and the great unknown

I'm a lot more at ease with Young/Key/Diallo for one post spot than I am just Walker and Washington for two guard spots.

Devin Gage a new name on the grad transfer radar. OSU in his group of 3. DePaul guard.

47% from 3Land last year..sounds good but why was his pt cut in half from 2018 to 2019?

If we get Gage I'm calling it the Dakich Maneuver.

Honestly would be a steal to get a player like him for more of a depth role.

47% from three sounds good... until you find out he attempted only 13 shots. his career average was 25% (19/77) until last season.

if we get gage, then i think his addition would be purely for depth and as a fail-safe in case walker or washington miss games. otherwise, i don't see gage getting many minutes at the point, even over washington. i'm not discounting the value of getting a player like gage, though. if kaleb is gone, then we'll have a "free" scholarship for next season that might as well be filled. and this is an addition that would not upset the apple cart of current backcourt players expecting or fighting for valuable minutes.

Justin Kier is a high-major target this spring

Appearing in just nine games last season due to a foot injury, Justin Kier is hoping to complete his college career on a strong note. The George Mason senior entered his name into the Transfer Portal on Wednesday and has already become a heavily drawn heavy interest from a number of high-major programs.

A 6-foot-4 scoring guard from the Harrisonburg, Virginia area, Kier has kept his options open regarding where he will spend his graduate-transfer season in which he could potentially return to the Atlantic 10 program. However, Arkansas, Butler, DePaul, Georgia Tech, Loyola Chicago, Ohio State, Tulane, Wake Forest and Washington State are among those that have already expressed interest in him within the past 24 hours.
