Ohio State is very fortunate to  have retained 3 starters. Where do you think Thornton, Royal, and Mobley would have been ranked in the transfer portal player rankings? I think it is interesting because teams that are adding many players, including some that  are expected to be starters are receiving lots of buzz. I think teams that retain starters like Ohio State has are better suited to having a good season. I think the rankings of Thornton, Royal, and Mobley would prove that. I also think game experience and familiarity with one another is very important and are keys to success on the court.
