NEW YORK - Kaleb Wesson was the centerpiece of Ohio State's 2017 recruiting class and came into Columbus with high expectations.

So far, he appears to be living up to those expectations.

Wesson, a native of Westerville, Ohio and younger brother of Ohio State forward Andre Wesson, was the rated as the No. 74 overall high school prospect in the country in his class and the top player in Ohio.

Since the 2015-16 season, Kaleb Wesson has shed around 60 pounds — according to his brother — to get acclimated to the faster pace style of play at the collegiate level.
