Patience. That’s the lesson Roddy Gayle learned last season lingering on the bench for Ohio State before his breakout performance in the Big Ten Tournament.
“It took me all year to be able to get to shine and be the kind of player that I know I am,” Gayle said Monday at the team’s media day. “So just being patient and trusting the process is a key component of what college basketball is.”
Now Gayle’s role will expand for the Buckeyes in their 2023-24 campaign.
All signs point toward him being the squad’s starting shooting guard, and with that comes the responsibility of being a team leader.
