From the start of the 21-22 season, the Ohio State women’s basketball team relied on the play of an outstanding transfer guard. This season that trend continues, but it isn’t former Buckeye and now pro basketball player Taylor Mikesell. It’s a guard who joined the scarlet and gray following an impressive four-year career, culminating in the attention deserving of one of the best defensive players in the nation.
It’s Celeste Taylor, a guard that won’t shoot as prolifically as Mikesell, but has a similarly high level of ability on the defensive side of the ball.
