Ohio State basketball head coach Chris Holtmann is leading the Buckeyes in what has been a solid start to this season. The Buckeyes found themselves back in the AP Top 25 on Monday after securing the season sweep over Rutgers on Saturday, despite losing point guard C.J. Walker to a hand injury before the game.
However, while Ohio State has looked impressive through the start of Big Ten play, Holtmann is remaining focused on the future as well. The Buckeyes already have two commitments in the 2021 class in four-star shooting guard Malaki Branham and three-star power forward Kalen Etzler, and is still in the running for two five-star centers.
