As you've probably heard by now, Ohio State basketball suddenly has a lot more scholarship room than they had, oh, a week ago. After the departures of Daniel Giddens, Mickey Mitchell and A.J. Harris, the Buckeyes suddenly have three more scholarships to go with the one left open by the earlier departure of Austin Grandstaff.
Ohio State returns the bulk of their actual production from last season (assuming Trevor Thompson doesn't actually leave for the NBA, the Buckeyes return their top six scorers), but such significant attrition means there are some holes on this roster that need patched.
