This time last year, first-year Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann was scrambling to find guards he could play meaningful minutes in 2017-18.
He convinced Andrew Dakich to transfer from Michigan and was able to get Musa Jallow to reclassify to the 2017 recruiting class, getting him to Columbus a year early to add depth to a roster that lost the majority of its backcourt talent after the fallout from Thad Matta's dismissal.
One year later, however, Ohio State is brimming with guard depth and talent, as the Buckeyes will not only have a new-look roster in 2018-19 but also figure to play a different brand of basketball.
