Buckeyes basketball after Black & Davis!!

Would be nice to add him. He can transfer and play right away for one year.

Tarik Black update: Confirmed that #Buckeyes had an in-home with 6-9 Me mphis transfer. No campus visit scheduled yet. #buckbk


For those who don't know who Tarik Black is, his career has been played at Memphis. 6-9 262lbs PF/C.

FRESHMAN: 22.6MPG 9.1PPG 5.0RPG 1.6BPG
SOPHOMORE: 25.6MPG 10.7PPG 4.9RPG 1.5BPG
JUNIOR: 20.8MPG 8.1PPG 4.8RPG 0.6BPG


Ohio State lacks big guys, and they DO have one scholarship open for this upcoming year, so would be cool to have Black take it up and see if he can help tOSU.

Well Ohio State will also get a visit from Josh Davis!!! Josh Davis, like Black, can transfer and play right away. Davis would be a bigger get though.

Tulane transfer Josh Davis expected to take official visits starting next week to San Diego State, Gonzaga & Ohio State, per source.

Davis is 6-8 215lbs and average 17.6PPG and 10.7RPG at Tulane last year.

Appears Oregon is the front runner for this guy.

ESPN ‏@cbbrumorcentral 4m
Oregon is reportedly now the school to beat for Memphis transfer Tarik Black. Would be a huge get for the Ducks. es.pn/18rLnd9

Was just about to post about Josh Davis, but you beat me to it.

Black and Decker?

If I remember right, Black has a tendency to play soft.

It would be nice if Ohio State can win one of these. They have a free ship open for next year and are not going to feel that with a commit now. So having a one year senior would be great. Davis would be great, legit talent, more of a 4 then a 5 though. STill you would take him right now. BLack is more of a 5, and you would take him also.

Last year Ohio State loss out on Rodney Hood(Ross good friend) who picked Duke over Ohio State in the end and will now get to play for Duke this year.

Didn't the free ship already go to the GT xfer? Or did they have another?

The GT guy was for football

Just heard a rumor, reportedly coming from bucknuts, that Davis is going to go to SDSU.

It is from his HS coach saying that.

Also, Black is down to 4 and Ohio State is not one of them.

Looks like Ohio State is going to go into next year with the roster it has. Amir Williams & Trey McDonald need to have BIG offseasons.

With the schedule of next year, not sure it really matters. Without being battle tested, they don't go as deep in the tourney. Just my opinion.
