There are some nice pieces, but I don't think enough pieces. It's been a tough year so far, and several tough years in a row.
I've attended most of the home games this season. I break it down like this: OSU WBB program will be fine. Without question, the toughest year in a long time, but OSU has lost a lot of experience with transfers (Kennedy Brown, Taylor Jones, Sasha GoForth, etc.). Maybe OSU will lose more to the portal, but I don't see the nucleus of the team transferring out next season. Our biggest issue is guard play, traditionally a strength of OSU, and so little experience. The nucleus of vanOlehoffen, Gardiner, and Beers will be with OSU for the next 2 years. Beers & Gardiner have extreme talent, and high motors. OSU needs to build up their guard play, and in particular, a true PG that can run a team, assist, not turnover the ball, and make a bucket when needed. OSU has 2 fine PGs coming next season. OSU, traditionally a strong 3 point shooting team, will also need to improve dramatically in this area. However, the greatest area of improvement must be defense. We will see how that comes along, but perimeter defense is right now the worst I've seen in 10 years. GO BEAVS!
