Welcome to the first edition of Full Court Press, our basketball version of The Hurry Up. Full Court Press will appear weekly during the basketball offseason, with hoops recruiting in full swing.
One of the many reasons Ohio State made a change at head coach in June of 2017 was because the recruiting had seriously fallen off in the final years of the Thad Matta era.
Chris Holtmann is doing everything in his power to make sure those problems don't carry over into his tenure in Columbus.
Entering his first full offseason as Ohio State's head coach, Holtmann has already had plenty of success on the recruiting trail, landing Florida State transfer point guard CJ Walker and 2019 prospect Alonzo Gaffney, who is rated as the top player in the state of Ohio in his class.
