BOOM Ohio State lands an impact transfer out of the portal as former Minnesota forward Jamison Battle commits to the Buckeyes.
Injury issues kept Battle out of four games for the Gophers this past season, when his scoring average dipped to 12.4 points per game, but Battle still put up 20 or more points on six different occasions. Battle went off for a season-high 31 points against Illinois during a Feb. 20 Minnesota loss.
Battle started all 56 games in which he appeared for Minnesota. Across his first four years of college basketball between George Washington and Minnesota, Battle has played in 103 games, started 101 of them and holds career averages of 14.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. Battle is a career 42% shooter from the floor and a 35% shooter from 3-point range.
Starting forward Justice Sueing, who was second on the roster with an average of 12.3 points per game this past season, declared for the NBA draft at the end of March following six seasons of college basketball. Senior transfers Sean McNeil and Isaac Likekele, who both occupied guard/forward positions at times for the Buckeyes in 2022-23, both exhausted their eligibility at the end of the year.
