The Buckeyes have their work cut out for them this offseason.
For Chris Holtmann to restore faith from the scarlet and gray fan base, Ohio State must quickly turn the page from what was its worst campaign in at least six years, if not several more.

For either of those goals to be a possibility in 2023-24, it’s no secret that Ohio State will have to make wholesale improvements in a hurry.
