”Ohio State applied for an immediate eligibility waiver for Jimmy Sotos, a transfer from Bucknell. Holtmann said the program hasn’t heard back yet from the NCAA about approval or denial.

“We're thin at the perimeter positions,” Holtmann said. “We have put in a waiver for Jimmy Sotos, but we don't have a word on that.””

Ohio State’s starting point guard, CJ Walker, is a fifth year senior. It appears that Ohio State wants to get Sotos cleared for immediate eligibility just as a insurance policy, where he could step in and start if Walker got injured but could take a redshirt if he weren’t desperately needed. If Walker stays healthy, then Sotos would use his final year of eligibility in 2021-22.
