The losses of DJ Carton, Luther Muhammad and Alonzo Gaffney garnered most of the Ohio State basketball headlines in the first few weeks after its season prematurely ended in March.
Carton, a one-time near-five-star point guard, turned his leave of absence into a transfer to Marquette. Muhammad, a two-year starter, bounced to Arizona State. Gaffney, a top-50 overall recruit out of high school, both entered the NBA draft and the transfer portal.
None of them, though, hold the designation as the loss that’ll affect the Buckeyes the most. Kaleb Wesson has that honor.
“We're going to have to look at how we do things, and we're going to be playing differently offensively and differently,” Holtmann said.
