Summary

On this Tuesday Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means look at the 2022-23 Ohio State basketball team, a 13-player roster that will include: Two players from last season's rotation Two injured players returning to health Three transfers One redshirt freshman Five true freshmen That's the team for Year 6 of the Chris Holtmann Era, and will it be good enough? That group includes the No. 5 recruiting class in the country, but only Zed Key and Eugene Brown from last year's contributors. Doug was so confused and frustrated by the roster, he did a terrible podcast. But Stephen tried to hold it together. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

0:44.3

Ohio State basketball fan, we see the numbers, sometimes the basketball pod just doesn't

0:48.0

quite the numbers of the football pod, but I, Steven, I do think this is interesting

0:52.7

as Steven Means and I prepare to do this, because the whole team left, the whole, imagine

0:59.8

if you had a team, and then this is like this old thing, I think it's, is it, it's like

1:07.1

a philosophical thing, that if you have a boat, and there are pieces of wood rotting

1:15.0

in the boat, and you replace one by one, you replace all the pieces of the boat.

1:22.4

So in the end there's no original wood left on the boat, but you've done it bit by

1:27.8

2:15.0

at the total minutes from last season, we're also doing it in a rush hour again, you have

2:21.8
