This Saturday, Kyle Young and CJ Walker will experience the usual Senior Day hoopla. Their families will be in attendance at the Schottenstein Center, and their contributions to Ohio State’s basketball program will be honored on the day they wrap up the regular season against Illinois.
For a while, this day was supposed to include Abel Porter, as well.
Eleven months ago, the 6-foot-3 guard chose to transfer from Utah State to Ohio State where he planned to spend the final season of his basketball career while pursuing a graduate degree in finance. But Porter’s time as a basketball player ended before he ever had a chance to play a minute as a Buckeye.
