There’s a stockpile of symmetry between what Jamison Battle brings as a transfer and what Ohio State basketball needs for its 2023-24 season.
The Buckeyes lost two of their biggest scoring threats from a year ago, both wing players. Battle is a dynamic scorer from the wing.
The Buckeyes’ biggest goal, per both head coach Chris Holtmann and their players, is to get better on defense. That’s a goal Battle is aligned with.
“Defensively, I’ve improved over the last two years, but I think I’m looking to make an even bigger jump this year at Ohio State because I know how important that is for our team to succeed, is defending in the Big Ten,” Battle said.
