Ohio State Basketball welcomes back former Buckeyes for Hoops Pro Week

Many former Ohio State players are in Columbus for the Hoops Pro Week helping teach the basketball team what it means to be a Buckeye.

The Ohio State basketball team welcomed back some former players for their Hoops Pro Week. It’s a time when hoopers from hardwood past ascend on Columbus to reconnect and help the current team understand what it means to be a Buckeye.

In attendance are former star players Evan Turner, John Diebler, D’Angelo Russell, Jae’sean Tate, Keita Bates-Diop, Aaron Craft, and more. While in town,  the veterans are helping the young guys with skills, pick up games, and what it takes to be a winner.

Aaron Craft is pleased with what he’s seeing from the current group.

“Just being here for two days, we’ve seen that their expectations, they’re willing to work for. So, I love the group they’ve put together, the work ethic they have. I love the coaching staff, so hopefully we can keep building and find a way to put another banner up.” Craft said

While there, many of the former players decided to try on some of the new threads and suited up for a photoshoot. Those scarlet script Buckeyes and powder grays from the 90s sure do look sharp. Take a look below at how some of your past favorites would look in today’s uniforms.
