Meechie Johnson Jr. has 17 collegiate appearances under his belt, logging nearly 100 minutes of basketball in regular season and Big Ten tournament play with 18 shot attempts to his credit.
But in Johnson’s eyes, 2020-21 was more of a trial run than a true freshman season. In fact, the Cleveland native thinks of the upcoming schedule as his real introduction to Buckeye fans, and his freshman listing on the Ohio State roster couldn’t convince you otherwise.
Johnson said he’s put on size, adjusted to the speed of the game and is ready to take on a bigger role for Ohio State in his second “first” season, eager to prove the player he was a year ago is a shell of what he will become in the Buckeye program.
