Sean McNeil Commitment Addresses Ohio State Need At Guard Following Meechie Johnson Transfer, Lost Recruiting Battle for Nijel Pack

Scarlet and gray dominoes have been falling left, right and center in the past few weeks as an Ohio State roster ravaged by offseason turnover continues to take shape.

Meechie Johnson will not make it to a second full season with Ohio State, as the Cleveland native entered the transfer portal on April 12 and committed to South Carolina Monday, but the Buckeyes learned Friday that Seth Towns will return for a seventh season of college basketball to help bolster the team’s frontcourt depth. Of course, neither development is even the latest for Ohio State, which subsequently lost out on one transfer guard (Kansas State transfer Nijel Pack) and earned the commitment of another (West Virginia transfer Sean McNeil) on the very same weekend.
