I think if Bronny wants to come they will make room for him.

I don't think Bronny is coming this decade! I look for him to go to USC not a big deal either way he is a 30something 2 guard, nothing special.

He’s going to be a good contributor on the court no matter where he goes but bringing him in would do something for recruiting in the future. Not saying he’s going to choose OSU but I don’t think they could turn him down if he wanted to come

I have seen several make a similar comment, so not just picking you out, but what does bringing Bronny in do for recruiting?  I haven't heard that anyone is waiting on a college decision to see where he goes.  I mean I could see it helping a program like Penn State or Rutgers that isn't on the basketball map nor has a big national presence like OSU, but I just don't see that it does anything for our program.

Kids a good player, but doesn't seem like it would be smart for us to pursue since we are at the scholarship limit and if someone does leave, it would make more sense to have the ship available to plug a potential gap.

I think it’s more off the court. I think, as do other people, that it mean more media in general and LeBron being around campus more, which was a big deal for the ND game.

Yea, the level of publicity he brings will be worth it in the end, especially if Holtmann can get the team on a good trajectory this year. 

There is no greater moment in The Game’s history than giving the full one-finger salute to 107,601 Michigan fans at the same time.

Not sure if it is telling or coincidental or what with GW decomming after Malaki went pro.... 

But Taison is already winning on the all hair team so there's that

GW’s decommit came after “Taison” made his visit for the Notre Dame football game - had nothing to do with Malaki - and that was not a coincidence - Chatman was coming and Ohio State wanted him…..

I love the two way player mentality. I love when guys work just as hard at the defensive end as they do on the offensive end. Chatman sees himself as a elite defensive player. This guy can be absolute Big Time!!! Go Buckeyes!!

Good to know that there was an upgrade waiting in the wings after GWIII’s commitment fell through. And you never know for Bronny, he may want to be with a more talented team than what USC has (also helps that UNC & Duke don’t have that prior coaching connection with his dad to steer him away). Kansas would be the only team I’d worry about swooping him up. Also:

“I’d say for athletes, the fanbase is crazy. They don’t have any (pro) sports teams, so it’s really just Ohio State athletics,” Chatman said.

I take offense to that! We have the Crew and Blue Jackets, and both have had positive momentum lately with the Crew winning the MLS Cup and the Blue Jackets getting the top free agent this offseason.

Most High school Football and basketball players don’t count soccer and hockey like that they are not the big three! They are in the category of “also” or “by the way” they do have the Crew and the Blue Jackets - great that we have them just not the big 3…..

This was one recruit I was really hoping we would land. Excited about the next few seasons of Buckeyes basketball.
