The Ohio State University men’s basketball program hasn’t had the best luck with star players returning over the past decade or so. While you can’t fault an amateur athlete for choosing to split when the option is there to play for money, many “fringe” NBA guys do end up returning to school if the odds of them being drafted don’t look too great. But not at Ohio State (at least not recently)! Over the past several years, Buckeye basketball teams have struggled to build on the prior year’s success after losing considerable talent from that year’s team.
