In case you missed the news over the weekend, the Ohio State basketball team landed a graduate transfer with a lot of experience when West Virginia guard Sean McNeil made his commitment to the Buckeyes official.
Before he told the world, however, he sprung his decision on head coach Chris Holtmann in a pretty fun way. Based on how his family shared the video on Twitter, McNeil appeared to be kicking the tires on a visit to Columbus when he went back to Holtmann asking if he can come in and run something else by him.
We won’t spoil it all for you, but from there, McNeil caught Holtmann a bit off guard by surprising him with his commitment right there in person. If you haven’t seen the short video, it’s a fun one to watch.

Getting McNeil will add some much-needed experience and toughness to a roster that sorely needs it at the guard position. Just how much of a weapon McNeil becomes remains to be seen, but if he can put up over 12 points a game at West Virginia against solid competition, you have to like his chances in the Big Ten wearing the scarlet and gray.
