Reports have indicated that Roddy Gayle Jr.’s transfer portal emigration from and Meechie Johnson’s immigration to Ohio State had little to do with each other.
Both individuals likely made the best decision for themselves and those around them. But when a direct swap is likely to happen between the two in the Buckeyes’ starting lineup, comparisons emerge.
As Johnson takes over for Gayle at the shooting guard spot for Ohio State, returning to his original collegiate destination from South Carolina, he’ll bring a set of tools distinct from the departed sophomore.
The pseudo-swap also provided more answers for what the Buckeyes need to add from the transfer portal.
