Wesson Handling Expectations and Working Hard To Be The Best

It's hard to go unnoticed when you're 6-foot-9 and 300 pounds as a sophomore in high school. For Kaleb Wesson, Ohio State's lone 2017 basketball commitment, getting noticed became much more common after he verballed to the Buckeyes this past July.

"My life has changed a lot," Wesson told Eleven Warriors as he prepared for his 8 p.m Monday workout. "In good ways and bad."

For the average, non-Division I athlete type of person, it may be hard to understand how widespread publicity, paid for travel to play a sport, fresh new gear at every turn and having college paid for could be bad.
