Everyone is gearing up for the start of the college football season, but we can’t forget about hoops either at a place like Ohio State where both sports have significant history.
While football turns on the television sets and pays the bills in a place like Columbus, OSU has had an arguably better basketball history than any other team in the Big Ten (at least until 2024 when UCLA comes on board).
All that being said, clearly, the recruiting classes for basketball aren’t nearly as big and bombastic as what we see in football, but it’s still the lifeblood of the program. Without great players and the development of them, you simply have no shot of competing to cut down nets. Head coach Chris Holtmann is trying to build upon what he’s done so far with his best class so far for 2022, one ranked well inside the top ten nationally.
So where does Ohio State stand among its Big Ten brethren so far with the 2023 class? Well, we are here to give you a bit of an update according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.
