Ohio State Basketball Player J.D. Weatherspoon To Transfer

Weatherspoon has chosen to transfer
According to Jeff Goodman of CBS, Ohio State basketball player J.D. Weatherspoon is transferring from Ohio State to a yet to be determined school.

Clay Hall of ABC-6, has also confirmed the Weatherspoon transfer, citing that the official announcement should be coming Monday.

The 6'6'' 215-pound sophomore had tremendous athleticism and many fans were hoping that he could have a bright future with the Buckeyes. Now it appears that dream won't continue, at least, not with Thad Matta's squad.

As Goodman pointed out in his tweet, Weatherspoon did not receive a lot of playing time and one has to wonder if this is the main reason as to why. I can't see any other way that 'Spoon would want to transfer unless he felt he wasn't getting his fair share of minutes.

The really bad news? Matta now has a team of 8 or 9 guys. This really hurts the depth and the team for next season unless Matta can pull in a great recruiting class. If someone goes down with an injury, that team is going to be really thin.
