Ohio State's newcomers have their numbers.

Alonzo Gaffney will wear No. 0, DJ Carton will wear No. 3, Ibrahima Diallo will wear No. 15 and E.J. Liddell will wear No. 32. The quartet of freshmen make up the top-ranked 2019 recruiting class in the Big Ten.

California transfer Justice Sueing has also been given a number; he will rock No. 14. However, he will not be eligible to play immediately following his move from the west coast and will sit out the 2019-20 season before having two years of eligibility remaining.

All five newcomers are on campus, enrolled in classes and taking part in workouts.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Following an 80-68 win over Nebraska, Ohio State basketball head coach Chris Holtmann announced that forward Justice Sueing underwent surgery on his left foot.

Sueing was not present for the win while recovering from the procedure. The forward is redshirting this season after transferring from California in the summer with two years left of eligibility. He is expected to be a viable replacement for Andre Wesson next season. In two seasons with the Golden Bears, he averaged 14.1 points and 5.7 rebounds over 63 games. California has gone 16-47 including 5-31 in the Pac-12 with him on the roster.

Holtmann stated that the surgery will require a three- to four-month recovery period, but he will have the full offseason to do so.

“Surgery went really well,” Holtmann stated. “He’ll be fine for a healthy offseason.”

SKULL SESSION: TREY SERMON KNEW HE WANTED TO BE A BUCKEYE, E.J. LIDDELL REVIEWS HIS DEBUT SEASON, AND JUSTICE SUEING SHOULD GIVE THE BUCKEYES A BOOST

DON'T FORGET SUEING. All attention and excitement is currently on Harvard transfer Seth Towns, which makes sense because he's extremely good and also shiny and new. But don't forget, there are more reinforcements coming next season that have already been on the roster.





This situation reminds me a bit of C.J. Walker before last season. Most of the excitement was on the three top-50 newcomers (2/3rds of which have now left the team) and not the former starter on an Elite 8 team that was eligible after spending a year working with the team.

And if I can jog your memory even further, Musa Jallow should be available after missing the entire regular season.

But hey, the good news is, we live in a world where we don't have to pick between appreciating one player over another. So let's not.

JUSTICE SUEING (REDSHIRT JUNIOR)
What he’s done: Much like Walker was a year ago, Sueing has to be feeling a bit impatient. He had to sit out the entire 2019-20 season after transferring from California. As a Golden Bear, the 6-foot-6, 210-pound forward was second on the team in scoring as a freshman (13.8 points per game) before leading the team in points per game as a sophomore (14.3). He shot 43.3 percent from the field, 30.7 percent from 3-point range and 73.4 percent from the foul line while averaging 5.7 rebounds per game across both seasons. While sitting out of games this season, Sueing had foot surgery in January that Holtmann estimated would sideline him for three or four months.

Next season’s outlook: All reports of Sueing’s in-practice performance – prior to his injury – were overwhelmingly positive. He’s expected to immediately offer a scoring punch in 2020-21, especially given his ability to get to the rim. As a sophomore, he shot more total free throws (165) than anybody on Ohio State’s roster last season. He’ll offer the Buckeyes a slasher they haven’t had in recent years. Sueing could additionally play “point forward” at times to spell Walker.

wonder how often we see sueing, young, and liddell on the court together. they might prove to be three of our best five players, so we'll probably see them together quite a bit. might get awfully congested underneath with three players whose best games are within 8 feet. throw in key, too.

three-point shooting will be so important this year. between kaleb, andre, muhammad, and carton, we lost over half of our three-point attempts (39.9% average). the only "new guy" i feel confident about being an efficient and reliable outside shooter is towns (perhaps brown shows out; hope sueing became a good shooter in the off-time). we really need towns to be healthy. of the returners, only washington i'm confident about. walker has been great from the elbow, but average beyond the arc. ahrens hits his attempts at a good rate, but he struggles to find any attempts against good defenses.

all in all, i think we're going to see a dramatically different team from last year. from good+ shooting to meh shooting. from meh penetration to good+ penetration. we'll see more "extra" points from the free throw line but fewer "extra" points from the three-point line. perhaps more "extra" points from transition opportunities, too.

anyway, post was meant to be about sueing because of the article below, which is very good. definitely readworthy.

The 6-6, 210-pound Sueing will be a fourth-year junior for the Buckeyes in 2020-21. He transferred to Ohio State from California last summer, although he suffered an injury while practicing with the team last season. He underwent surgery on his left foot on Jan. 14 and had been spending the last eight months working back from that injury.

Sueing, from Honolulu, Hawaii, played two seasons previously at Cal. He was a bright spot in an otherwise rough 8-23 season in 2018-19 for the Golden Bears. Cal finished last in the Pac-12 at 3-15 in league play. Coach Wyking Jones was fired at the end of the season. He was replaced by former Nevada and Georgia coach Mark Fox. Sueing announced his intention to transfer shortly after Fox’s hiring was completed.

Sueing was the team's leading scorer and rebounder in his sophomore season. He averaged 14.3 points and 6.0 rebounds. He shot 43 percent from the floor, including 30 percent on threes. He averaged 34.5 minutes per game as a sophomore.

As a freshman in 2017-18, Sueing averaged 13.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game at Cal.

Sueing is among three upperclassmen who have been working back from injuries this off-season. Junior guard Musa Jallow missed the entire 2019-20 season after undergoing surgery on his right ankle. Junior wing forward Seth Towns is a graduate transfer from Harvard, although he has not played in a live game since suffering a knee injury in March 2018. It’s unclear how close Jallow and Towns are from being full-go at the present time.

JUSTICE SUEING (14.3 POINTS, 43.2/30.2/78.2 SHOOTING SPLITS WITH CAL IN 2018-19)

WHY HE WILL
Both as a freshman and sophomore at California, Sueing averaged at least 13 points per game. Of course, his teams were nothing short of dreadful elsewhere, but his offense was a bright spot. The forward sat out last season after transferring to Ohio State, and positive reports have been plentiful since his arrival.

“He's tested out as our best athlete,” Holtmann said. “When you see him move, for a guy that's a good 6-7, he's got good ball skills. His shooting has continued to improve. I think we've got to tighten up some areas defensively with him. He really rebounds the ball well. His ball skills and his perimeter skills really allow us to move him around.”

Sueing attacks the basket at a more efficient rate than anybody in an Ohio State uniform did the past two years, and he has a knack for finishing in transition. His low turnover rate and adept passing will allow him to take more of a ball-handling role than most players his size. If he can inch his 3-point shooting from the low-30s to the mid-to-upper-30s, he has a real shot to be tops on the team in points per game.

WHY HE WON'T
Ohio State isn’t Cal. The Big Ten isn’t the Pac-12. Sueing will be playing in a different role, on a better team and in a better conference. How that affects his production remains to be seen, but it’ll be an adjustment he’ll have to work through. On the wing, Sueing projects as a starter but – especially when Towns and Jallow get back onto the court – it’s one of the deeper positions on the team. He might not play as many minutes as somebody like Washington. Also, Sueing’s 3-point shooting percentages of 31.1 as a freshman and 30.2 as a sophomore could prevent him from being the No. 1 scorer.

“As soon as I got out there being with my teammates, I feel like we all gel really well together,” Sueing said. “So playing off of them and then playing off of my energy, I felt like it's really easy for us to click. Once we were actually out there in uniform, even though there's no fans, we were able to feed off each other and get things going and really come out with a win tonight.”
