The Buckeyes were never considered a serious threat to land Weems – a four-star power forward – especially after the commitment of Alonzo Gaffney in the same class.

Weems was largely expected to land at Michigan State. Instead, Weems, the top player in the state of Michigan according to 247sports, announced Tuesday that he will attend DePaul in 2019, a decision that raised some eyebrows.
