Another Look: Brandon Fuss-Cheatham

By Bob Barrickman, Times Sports Correspondent

The time between Brandon Fuss-Cheatham?s junior and senior seasons was tumultuous, at best. But injuries and coaching changes and team probation were beginning to become tolerable for the Blackhawk High School graduate and his Ohio State men?s basketball teammates.

Until Nov. 3, 2004.

The day began like most. The Buckeyes were preparing to scrimmage Bowling Green.

Then the news reached Fuss-Cheatham in Columbus. His mother, Chris, had died after injuries sustained in a car accident. His father, Jeff, was injured.

?The tragedy of the loss of my mom played a lot on my mind,? Fuss-Cheatham said.

He sought solace on the court. And although the Buckeyes were on probation ? which prompted a coaching change from Jim O?Brien to former Xavier coach Thad Matta ? which left the team little for which to play, Fuss-Cheatham delivered some highlights. He was credited with an assist on a winning 3-point shot which upset No. 1 Illinois that season.

?The time I spent on the (basketball) court took my mind away from it,? Fuss-Cheatham said. But, it was hard for me during my idle time or when I was studying. That?s when I thought of my family.?

Fuss-Cheatham?s father is doing well, he said.

Fuss-Cheatham?s Ohio State career starting off promising. The Buckeyes went to the NCAA tournament in his freshman year. But a knee injury in his sophomore season hampered his speed and agility. He started as a junior and senior, but his injury didn?t allow him to realize his potential.

?I was thinking about playing (pro) ball overseas, but my knee was a problem,? said Fuss-Cheatham.

He?s still involved in the sport. He owns a basketball-training business in Irvine, Calif.

My heart certainly goes out to the kid. He played the best he could with what he had.

One thing I admired about the team with guys like him, Sly, and JJ was the chemistry. Following their departures, OSU has went through many transfers and one-and-dones. Conley and Oden may have been more talented and won more games, but none could match the team play and pure love those guys had while playing for the Buckeyes.

Fuss-Cheatham built his own legacy as a man that has done extremely well forhilm through the trials of life.

(Nice find Grad)
