Before Ohio State fans get to see the Buckeyes’ five true freshmen take the court in scarlet and gray for the first time, several have made a splash at the Kingdom League.
One first-year Buckeye who hadn’t yet appeared at the annual summer ball tournament until this past weekend was Bowen Hardman, a Cincinnati native and the first commit in Ohio State’s 2022 recruiting class. That changed on Sunday as the Princeton High School product made his Kingdom League debut.
Hardman didn’t make headlines like fellow Buckeye newcomer Brice Sensabaugh, who recently dropped 51 points at Ohio Dominican University, but the platform allowed the 6-foot-5 guard to get more reps in as he continues his transition to the next level over the summer.
