Having dealt with my own issues off and on for decades, I hope the kid can get things sorted out and rejoin his mates. It's what he wants and they could use his help.

Break an arm? No problem, here's a cast and in 6 weeks we'll start OT. Depression? Anxiety? It's an ongoing struggle. I've experienced both and the broken arm was a lot easier.

You'd never know my arm was broken now. The others, I take it day by day. Do what you need to do, DJ.

Two-Minute Drill: Chris Holtmann, Buckeyes Preview Trip to Wisconsin

Chris-Holtmann-PreWisc.jpg


Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann met with reporters on Friday to preview Sunday’s upcoming game against Wisconsin in Madison. He gave a bit of a breakdown of what to expect from the Badgers, including some insight on the difference between Wisconsin at home and on the road. Also speaking with reporters were sophomore guard Duane Washington and junior forward Kyle Young.

Chris Holtmann

+ There is opportunity for DJ Carton to get his schooling done from home right now.

+ It’s good for Carton to have some time to himself, but there’s a balance between leaving him be and having his teammates keep in contact to let him know they care. They have been relying on the medical staff for direction during this whole thing.

Duane Washington

+ Washington has checked in with DJ Carton and made it known that everybody is there for him for whatever he may need.

Kyle Young

+ Young has talked to DJ Carton a few times but has let him know that he’s available to talk whenever it’s needed.

Agreed. There is not much substitution for the high school honey's attention, and Mom's apple pie. Homesick, certainly. But maturity is having to soldier on. Surprised that some of the upper classmen haven't taken him under their win to provide some sense of family. Wouldn't have guessed that. Hope this young man gets through this, but like LitlBuck, would be pleasantly surprised. Had forgotten all about Musa Jallow…...but the Buckeyes have zero fire power right now. Collapsing on Kaleb and daring the other Buckeyes to shoot. Easy work plan. Go Bucks. PS, also agree that this has been an upside down year. The B10 doesn't seem to follow any known pattern. #2 one week, out of the T25 rankings the next (tOSU and MSU).

This may be a matter of maturity. But based on the comments from his mother, it may well be more than that. From what little I have read it appears to be a mental issue that dates back to high school. If that is the case, no amount of maturity will help. As LitlBuck said, I will be pleasantly surprised if he plays for tOSU again. I sincerely hope he gets whatever help he needs, which is far more important than a game.

the fact that he went back home does not bode well for him playing basketball at Ohio State in the future… IMO and it is not his fault

Possibly, however it may be more beneficial for him to be in comfortable surroundings while he works through his issues........

Hoping he overcomes his problem and selfishly hope he returns to Ohio State.......
