Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
“Obviously, Coach (Holtmann) getting fired kind of, you know, my mind was kind of racing those last few months of the basketball season, just because it’s hard to stay in the moment. That was one thing that Coach Holtmann preached to us throughout the season, but then a dramatic change like that kind of hindered everything.” Gayle said.
New Ohio State head coach Jake Diebler was Gayle’s primary recruiter in high school, and the rising junior had perhaps the closest and most unique relationship with Diebler out of anybody on last year’s team. However, the change in leadership and direction clearly made Gayle question his future with the program.
“After the the season ended I decided I would like to enter the portal, with Ohio State still being one of my options.” Gayle told Boesch.
He continued, “I just wanted to have all of my options on the table to put me and my family in the best position to reach my goals, which is having a degree and hopefully having my name called on draft night.”
“At first, when Michigan was announced as a possible landing spot, it was weird for me. Being at Ohio State for two years, I was taught to hate them, not really knowing why. But Coach Dusty and his staff reached out, and it made the most sense.”
“I felt like they put the most effort into recruiting me. Their style of play is what I want to (play), I feel like their style of play allows me to show the world who I really am — just the free basketball they play, the freelance. And great guys around me, not only that, but my teammates around me, I feel like we have a great system of people who can play off of each other, which is amazing.
Just sayin': I'm just guessing here that it all came down to the money. Bruce Thornton, Aaron Bradshaw, and Sean Stewart undoubtedly got larger NIL deals (than what Ohio State offered Gayle) which used up the major portion of the NIL money allocated to the basketball team. scUM probably offered him a better NIL package than what Ohio State offered. You compare Gayle to Thornton and he averaged fewer points, lower 3-point %, fewer steals, fewer assists, and more turnovers, etc.

Just watched some of the TCUN/TCU game.scUM is welcome to his 1 30 point game out of nowhere in November and then sub 25% from 3, wild charging drives that result in turnovers and selective defense in critical moments I guess...
They think they're getting the 2nd coming of Jalen Rose too
He's still the same player. If anything, he's forcing stuff more now than he was last year which is hilarious.

Just in the last minute of the game he took an awful 3 and followed it up with a totally out of control drive to the basket.
TCUN was up 10 at the time, mind you.

Michigan fans absolutely hate this former Ohio State basketball player
Michigan basketball fans are not happy with how a former Ohio State basketball player has played for them.
The Ohio State basketball program had to replace several players from last year's roster. Most of that was due to players leaving in the transfer portal. They had quite a few players decide they no longer wanted to be part of the program now that Chris Holtmann was gone.
One of those players was Roddy Gayle. Gayle decided to leave once the Buckeyes brought back Meechie Johnson after he spent two years with South Carolina. He saw the logjam at guard and decided to transfer elsewhere. While Johnson has been useless, there were too many guards for Gayle's liking.
Ultimately, Gayle decided to head to Michigan. TTUN fans were gleeful to get a player who had spurned the Buckeyes. That glee has quickly turned into anger. There's not a player that has more ire directed at him from that fanbase than Gayle right now.

TTUN has had a very good season under first-year coach Dusty May, much to the chagrin of Buckeye fans. Yet, Gayle has been the weak link. He was demoted from starting early on in the season and hasn't really improved. He is shooting just 21% from behind the three-point line.Fans have had enough of his play. He drew their ire again after TTUN lost to Michigan State on Friday night.
Perhaps Gayle should have thought twice about moving into enemy lines. Now he has both the Ohio State and Michigan fanbases hating him. At least he knows he will be going to the NCAA Tournament this year. The Buckeyes may have cost themselves a spot in the tourney after losing to Northwestern.
The Buckeyes are hoping that they can get themselves together during this final stretch of the season. TTUN is hoping that Gayle can turn around his horrid outside shooting. Either way, it seems like Gayle made perhaps the worst decision he could have possibly made.

Just sayin': You can't always believe every story that you read on the internet; however, if it true, it is kind of amusing.....
