The Ohio State basketball team got some welcome news on Friday. According to the Columbus Dispatch’s Adam Jardy (subscription may be required), Buckeye forward Seth Towns is returning to Ohio State for another year.
A Harvard graduate and former Ivy League Player of the Year, Towns transferred to Ohio State in 2020, choosing the Buckeyes over Duke. However, his career has been sidelined by injuries. He was already coming back from a knee injury when he came to Columbus and dealt with a back issue last season that kept him out of the entire 2021-2022 campaign. He will now be attempting a seventh year.

Seth is now expected to be fully healthy for the first time since 2018. With so many potential newcomers on the roster, getting a guy back with his talent, along with the previous news of Justice Sueing’s return, could be huge.
