Updated Ohio State basketball roster for 2022-2023

Now that the shell game is complete for the most part with college basketball programs, we can get a better idea of what the Ohio State basketball program will be tossing out on the court next season. Head coach Chris Holtmann and staff tapped into the transfer portal a time or two, lost a couple of players to the NBA, and even more to graduation and other reasons.

As a result, the team will look a ton different than the one we saw for the 2021-2022 season. Expectations may not be as high as years past, but there’s also a top ten recruiting class ready to take its place and compete for a spot on this year’s squad as well.

Without getting into too much speculation (yet — that comes later), here’s a look at the current roster of the Ohio State basketball team as we sit as hopefully a finished product.
