WESTERVILLE, Ohio — Kaleb Wesson sat off to the side of the stage, nervous and unsure, as his older brother Andre stood in front of a packed crowd inside the auditorium at Westerville South High School. Andre Wesson, a senior, was set to announce where he would be playing college basketball next season. Kaleb Wesson, who is a junior already committed to Ohio State, had no idea who his brother intended to sign with.

“I told him I didn’t want him to tell me,” Kaleb said. “I wanted to know like everybody else.”
