PF Sean Stewart (transfer to Oregon)

I'm disappointed because I think Stewart was a good player. You always have to have a guy on the floor who's going to be that hustle guy who doesn't really get the ball within the normal flow of the offense, and Stewart was that kind of guy. He just got a lot of fouls, which made it hard to keep him on the court, especially guarding the post where he was undersized defensively. Good luck.

Stewart scored in double-digits four times this past season, including a season-high 14 points against Oregon on January 9. He also grabbed nine rebounds and had two steals against the Ducks, playing 23 minutes in the Ohio State loss.

The original plan was for Stewart to start at power forward for Ohio State this season, with Aaron Bradshaw starting at center. However, Bradshaw’s mid-season absence due to a university investigation opened the door for Devin Royal, who stepped into the starting lineup and averaged 18.6 points per game during the seven games Bradshaw missed.

When Bradshaw returned, Jake Diebler had no choice but to leave Royal in the lineup, starting him at power forward and moving Stewart to center. That is where Stewart started for the remainder of the season, consistently going up against much bigger post players.

If Stewart can stay out of foul trouble, he’s the type of player who should be able to provide 10+ rebounds per game pretty consistently. His offensive game remains limited, but the ability to grab offensive rebounds will always open up opportunities for players like Stewart to get high-percentage shots near the basket for easy points — if he can stay on the floor to do so.

Google: Sean Stewart, a former top-20 prospect, is transferring from Ohio State after one year. Stewart's decision, reportedly unrelated to NIL deals, stems from a desire for a larger role. He averaged 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in his college career across Duke and Ohio State.

Just sayin': From what I'm reading (like the two articles above) surprisingly it isn't about "the NIL money"; he just got beat out for the PF position by Devin Royal.

Well if you take him at his word and he actually wants a larger role, assuming that means larger role offensively, he's got to transfer down to a mid-major.
