Per Eleven Warriors, I think that’s Ohio State’s page, Meechie Johnson is returning to OSU. Next!
Meechie be gone!
- Thread starter Madison Cat
- Start date
Don’t worry, DJ Wagner is coming back to lead the troops…
A 6-3, unathletic, brick layer. Yay.
Not upset that he’s not coming here. Didn’t really want him. But, doesn’t sound like people are looking at us.
Are you talking about Meechie or DJ??? I kid, I kid. Both have shooting concerns as lead guards next year.
I’d rather have DJ next year than Meechie. But that’s not a ringing endorsement.
Part of why I wish Cal would’ve rolled with Reed/Rob is it soured so many fans against DJ unnecessarily. He’s still only 18 years old. Heck there will be players playing tonight in the MCDAAG older than him.
Who knows if he even comes back with how awful this draft is, but I’ll support him regardless.
Sorry for the age rant. Just so few people actually know the ages of these guys that vary significantly even in the same class. It’s another thing Cal says that annoys me. “Our kids are 17-18 years old”. No Cal, guys like Justin Edwards were friggin 20 most of the season.
Hopefully he will build a mansion with all those left handed bricked layups
If DJ comes back he needs to shoot 1000 three point shots every day til the season starts.
Win win for me I didn't want him at Kentucky but I do like him returning to Ohio State.
Also won't torch us for a 3rd straight year at South Carolina so maybe we can beat that team next year for a change.

I think a completely healthy DJ would be very good next year. Take away the finale, he shot the ball pretty well the last few games of the regular season coming back from injury.
I watched the game and thought Fland’s defense was much better than Dilly’s. Also, I was very impressed with JQ’s motor, physicality and overall ability, most especially as a 16 year-old. He should be a lot of help for two (2) years.
Wagner was the co-MVP of the 2023 McDonalds game.
It’s not just repetition, it’s also form. His 3pt shots are too flat, reducing the size of the cylinder/rim from the angle they are coming in at. A lot of players do that who are trying to get their shot off (out of their hands) faster.
Seriously? Before his injury he was doing quite well. He has the ability to be excellent.
He needs that and much more. He needs to work on finishing with either hand. Driving with either hand. Counters to his bard drive, like a euro.
Kid has a long way to go. He should have sga film on repeat. He lacks elite athleticism like sga so he'd going to need at least some of that elite level skill to make it at the next level. Going to be tough because he lacks that elite length.
Can't believe how badly his athleticism was overrated and oversold.
I don’t think it was overrated / oversold. I remember reading his athleticism was average, but his length “and desire” were big parts of his game. That’s also when I started getting worried… ha
That's not how I remember it but I could be wrong. We were sold be was someone that would dominate from day 1 and be one of Cal's greatest pgs. Iirc we were sold that his athleticism was just below wall and fox.
Either way he has a long way to go. The only thing working in his favor is his age since he was young even for a freshman.
UK basketball is down bad when we're celebrating a South Carolina player leaving the conference.
We play OSU next year, don't we? So we still get to play against Meechie Curry
We aren't celebrating him leaving the conference, we are celebrating that Cal didn't pick him out of the portal.
