Ask Chris Holtmann about the outlook of this season’s Ohio State team, and he’ll say it’ll go as far as the veterans take it.
For somebody who follows the similar thinking of head coaches who built sustained winning programs at Villanova, Purdue, Virginia and Michigan, that’ll always be the case. Holtmann wants to perpetually have a talented, experienced group of upperclassmen he can rely on, and he still holds that opinion this year, counting on Andre Wesson, Kaleb Wesson, Kyle Young and CJ Walker to lead a team with seven underclassmen that he has consistently called his youngest ever.
