BONUS: Can 5-Star Early Enrollee LJ Smith Help The Buckeyes This Season?

This year's Ohio State men's basketball team is an interesting mix of returning standouts like John Mobley and Amare Bynum, a 5-star true freshman in Anthony Thompson, some veteran portal additions like Justin Pippen, and a whole lot more.
