Grad transfer Seth Towns to announce decision between Ohio State and Duke tonight

Harvard graduate transfer Seth Towns will reportedly be announcing his decision between Duke and Ohio State tonight on SportsCenter.

We’ve been on the Seth Towns watch now all week after he announced his intention of deciding his transfer destination this week via Twitter. It now appears as though we’ll know where the nation’s No. 1 rated transfer will be headed before the clock strikes midnight Saturday.

According to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, the 6-foot, 7-inch power forward from Columbus will make his decision known for all the world sometime tonight. In fact, further information from 270Hoops has confirmed that he will be announcing between Ohio State and Duke at 11 PM Eastern on SportsCenter.

Towns was the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2017 but has been befallen by injury since. If he’s healthy, he provides a stretch four that has great length and sneaky smooth moves to the rim. He can also step out and bomb away from long range.

Duke has expressed serious interest at the eleventh hour, but with Columbus being his hometown, Ohio State has been thought to be the leader to land his services. Anytime the Blue Devils are in on it, you just never know though.

Towns has the type of skill set that fits any program, but it would be a huge get for Ohio State to add another versatile player that can plug into one of many positions on the court and be effective as a scoring threat at multiple spots on the floor.

We’ll have his decision once it is announced later tonight.
