Jae’Sean Tate was always going to work on his jump shot this offseason. He just had to go about things in a bit of a different way than originally planned.
After surgery to repair a torn labrum in the left shoulder ended Tate’s sophomore season in February, Ohio State’s now-junior forward had to shut things down for some time. Tate resumed shooting about a month and a half ago, he said Thursday, but again had to alter things a bit when he had a second procedure done — this one to remove a piece of loose cartilage in his right ankle.
