Moseying around near center court together 20 minutes before Ohio State-Michigan tipped off on Sunday, Kyle Young, Musa Jallow and Justice Sueing appeared to have begun feet-first transitions into Transformers. The three forwards, each wearing black, Ohio State-branded sweatsuits, all had on walking boots.
None of their absences came as a surprise. Two of them – Sueing, a transfer from California, and Jallow, who’s redshirting after multiple ankle surgeries – won’t play again this season. Young’s expected back at some point, though his high ankle sprain a week ago didn’t appear to be anything he could brush off to get back onto the court immediately.
