Ohio State adds graduate transfer Abel Porter. Three things it means.

Ohio State landed another graduate transfer in Utah State’s Abel Porter. He’ll have just one year in Columbus, but here are things it means.

It’s now clear that Kaleb Wesson is probably gone

As a reminder, even though big-man Kaleb Wesson declared for the NBA draft, he did keep his eligibility in case he decided to come back after he went through all the feedback and interviews associated with the process. However, that ship seems to have sailed now.

With Ohio State at the scholarship limit, there’s really no room for him should there be a change of heart. At least not without some significant twisting of arms or other roster management decisions.

It was always unlikely that Wesson would test the waters and decide to come back two-straight years anyhow, but now it seems like a lock. The Kaleb Wesson era is over at Ohio State.
