Does anyone know what their roster looks like now?

They recently added grad transfers from LaSalle and Clevland State.

Speaking of Ohio State, has McGuff filled the coaching slot vacated by Mitchell or is he waiting for a last minute big time recruit to pull a 2-fer deal?
 
Here is the Cleveland State transfer.....18 ppg

Apparently, The Ohio State will have 3 scholarship players returning (Calhoun, Waterman, Caretti). Three 2018 recruits. And 4 grad transfers. It could be a long season.

Calhoun has been given the ok to grad transfer but has yet to pick a school. So, Waterman is the only returner with meaningful playing experience. Caretti may be good, she's wicked athletic, but has been too nervous and unsure of herself. It was going to be a long season for OSU regardless of these grad transfers, so this will at least give the players someone to practice against. Haha
 
I don't see tOSU as a top 25 team, maybe not even in the top half of a watered down B10. To echo our Tenn friend, it would not surprise me to see him let go at the end of the season, but that depends on his contract and if it expires, or if they would have to pay him out...

We can only hope that's the case. I think a top 7 finish would be miraculous at this point. However, his departure at the end of the season will leave OSU's next coach out of luck for any of the Ohio talent of this upcoming senior class...Poor timing.
 
Who's the 4th addition? There's players from BGSU, LaSalle, & Cleve St. The other?

Pretty sure I saw someone had been named the new assistant coach replacing Mitchell.

I'm guessing they finish between 8th and 10th. A lot will depend on how good the grad transfers mesh together and if they can play in a more competitive conference. Big Ten is never a super strong conference, but the following teams on paper project to be better than Ohio State:
Maryland
Iowa
Minnesota
Nebraska
Michigan
Purdue
Michigan State


Likely stronger than Ohio State:
Indiana

On par with tOSU:
Rutgers
Penn State

Worse than Ohio State:
Illinois
Wisconsin
Northwestern

Najah Queenland transferred from Pacific. Didn't play at all this year.

I'll bet on 10th or worse.

They have 5 returnees (2sr/2jr/1so) + 3 frosh + 4 grad transfers. Unless Calhoun stays.

And with 6 seniors in 18-19, they will have just 6 returning players for 2019-20, so perhaps even more grad transfers to come. McGuff does have 2 verbals so far for the next frosh class.

You are counting walk-ons, are there any that you expect to contribute?

They will be lucky to have a winning season.

Who are the walk ons?

I agree that a winning season would be a surprise.

So 2 scholarship returnees (1sr/1jr) + 3 frosh + 4 grad transfers + 2 walkons (1jr/1so). Unless Calhoun stays.

That puts 2019-20 at 1sr/3so/2fr + 2 walkons !! I would bet on more transfers to arrive.

A few months back I believe I predicted that McGuff's time may be running short. He didn't do much when he had the quality players. Now that he's got nothing, he better pull out a rabbit, otw what's the point in keeping him?

Hard to fire a coach after winning a Big Ten Championship outright. He’s gravely underperformed after having 4 years of Mitchell, but underperforming is still better than almost anyone else in the Big Ten, so I think they should give him one more shot and see what he can do with a weak team. If they are respectable this year, maybe he’ll get another year or two to build on that. If they don’t finish in the top half of the Big Ten though, I’d can him.
 
I know this is the Grad Transfers thread, but Ohio State has apparently received a commitment from Aixe Wone of Spain. 6'2" Forward. Will join the incoming freshmen class.

Now up to 10 scholarship players - EIGHT of them new. I think even Ole Miss has a better returnee-to-total percentage.

BUT! better off than NCCU?????? Right???
 
Per Raoul, they added a fifth grad transfer

WBB: Ohio State lands its 5th grad transfer — Carmen Grande, 5-8 junior point guard out of Madrid, Spain, who tallied 9.2 assists/game in 2017-18 for Ball State

Seems like a good get, but at the same time, if I'm the AD...I'm not sure loading up on grad transfers is the direction I'd want to go. They'll need to do the same next season since their lineup will be mainly grad transfers this year, and they'll all be gone in 2019-20. I understand transfers are prevalent and we see them at every program, but building your team almost exclusively on 1 year transfer players sets a bad precedent IMO and will negatively impact recruiting going forward. If McGuff somehow pulls this off and ends up having a half decent season, I'll be amazed.
