As top targets have committed elsewhere, transfer portal options are thinning for Ohio State as it looks to add more frontcourt depth with its two available scholarships.
It’s not fair to say that it’s all doom and gloom in the Schottenstein Center right now, but much of the steam powering Ohio State’s momentum engine has been sapped out since Micah Parrish committed to the Buckeyes on April 20.Two scholarships remain open and Ohio State has obvious frontcourt needs, namely someone to provide a shooting threat with wings Jamison Battle and Scotty Middleton out the door and another center to provide more rebounding and rim-protecting punch.
With Parrish slated to bolster the team’s ball handling and passing from the wing, Ohio State isn’t looking to add more guards from the portal at this stage. Former target Ra’Heim Moss committed to Oregon in that vein as other former guard targets are looking elsewhere.
Stewart has yet to attempt a 3-point shot in his collegiate career, so if shooting is still to be addressed, it won’t be through him. Michael Stewart also told the Dispatch that Sean will visit several schools before making a decision the week of May 6 and that he was finalizing a visit to Columbus for this week.Standing at 6-9, Parker was listed as a guard coming out of high school and on Alabama’s roster this year, but with his length, he’s a candidate to play a variety of positions. And versatility is something Diebler values in his transfer portal targets.
