Eleven Warriors • • sports
Key Points:
- Buckeye guard Gabe Cupps will enter the transfer portal on April 7 after a disappointing season at Ohio State, retaining two years of eligibility for his next team.
- Cupps averaged 1.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 12.3 minutes per game, shooting 37.8% from the field, and was the No. 4 guard behind starters Bruce Thornton, John Mobley Jr., and Tasion Chatman.
- Previously, Cupps played two years at Indiana, starting as a freshman before a torn meniscus limited his second season, earning a medical redshirt; he was a highly regarded recruit, ranked No. 94 overall in 2023.
- With Cupps leaving, Tasion Chatman moves up to the No. 2 guard spot, but Ohio State is expected to add an experienced guard from the transfer portal to support starter John Mobley Jr. and provide depth.
- Chatman showed potential and inconsistency last season, averaging 4.3 points per game with strong shooting percentages of 46% from the field and 47.1% from three-point range.
