It only took a couple of practices this fall for Chris Holtmann to recognize the difference at point guard.
No longer did he have C.J. Jackson and Keyshawn Woods in the backcourt. Instead, he has DJ Carton and CJ Walker.
The hotshot freshman and the Florida State transfer. The top-35 overall recruit and the fourth-year junior with Elite Eight experience. The Iowan who picked the Buckeyes over other Big Ten powers and the veteran who already has a year of learning the Ohio State system under his belt.
“I think that position, it's exciting to us because we have some experience, obviously, in CJ Walker and in DJ Carton, a young guy who is really gifted,” Holtmann said last week at Big Ten media day.
