The first player that is not an incoming freshman that we will preview for the upcoming Buckeyes basketball season is senior Jimmy Sotos. The super-senior guard is one of the two players for the Buckeyes taking advantage of the free season that the NCAA has given players following the COVID-19 pandemic; the other being Kyle Young.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard from Elk Grove Village, Ill. came into the program last season after playing his first three years at Bucknell University. Sotos was an important pickup for Holtmann and the Buckeyes after losing back up point guard Abel Porter for the season due to an illness that forced him to end his basketball career.
