Nobody listening to Chris Holtmann speak on a teleconference with reporters last week could’ve used the word “concerned” to describe his thoughts on the standing of Ohio State basketball.
Rather, after seven roster moves in a three-and-a-half week period, he was downright upbeat. More than once, he said a variation of how he feels as excited about the current Buckeyes roster as he has felt in any prior offseason.
“I think that the exciting thing for us here is we have, I believe, a good blend of experienced guys in our program as well as experienced guys from a couple other programs,” Holtmann said.
