With no clear answer at power forward the next two seasons, Ohio State has gotten involved in the chase for Iowa State basketball transfer Wesley Johnson, who left the Cyclones suddenly in May. Johnson, a springy 6 feet 7, averaged 12.4 points and four rebounds as a sophomore last season, when he was hampered by a foot injury that required surgery in April. As a freshman, he averaged 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds, had 11 double-doubles and was voted to the Big 12 all-rookie team. He made 79 three-point baskets in two seasons. After sitting out a transfer year, Johnson would be a candidate for the position left vacant by Kosta Koufos' early departure for the NBA. There is no ideal replacement on the current roster, and coach Thad Matta might be preparing for the potential loss of junior-college transfer Nikola Kecman. Continued -------- This article states that the coaches might still be concerned about the NCAA's ruling regarding Kecman's "amateur" status and the fact that he might be ruled ineligible for some games. |

We have a real shot with Johnson......

This would be a BIG get. An experienced, athletic forward with a scorer's mentality.
Too bad he won't be able to play until '09. |

Having an experienced player with his ability to score reminds me of Ron Lewis.....

I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. I've got a good feeling about Wes, particularly because he got to experience a gameday at the Schott 1st hand from the opposing sidelines. He's familiar with us, thus why we are the first school to schedule a visit from him. |
