Chris Holtmann expects his 2022-23 freshmen to take another step this offseason, but OSU may still need major contributions from a “really exciting” first-year class next year.
Relative to his previous five years at Ohio State, and even the three at Butler before that, the 2022-23 season was an outlier for Chris Holtmann.
When the Buckeyes started four freshmen on the road against Purdue on Feb. 19, it was the first time Holtmann had ever done so. In fact, he scarcely started three freshmen in the same game before that, and never before 2022-23. One could argue Malaki Branham finished his 2021-22 freshman campaign as Ohio State’s best player, but his breakout success – and the Buckeyes’ reliance on it – was something of an anomaly at that point.
“We have four new . Whether or not we add someone through the transfer portal or whatever, we have to get that message,” Holtmann said at the Big Ten Tournament. “I think the benefit is we have some really important guys that have been through it that are now returning that can speak to the importance of that and can live it. I'm not saying we didn't last year, but it was just such a new group last year.
