Bradshaw has missed five games as OSU looks into a domestic dispute involving Kyle Boone.
Coach Jake Diebler announced Monday on his weekly radio show that Ohio State big man Aaron Bradshaw has resumed playing for the Buckeyes after missing the previous five games while the school looked into a domestic incident that allegedly occurred at his off-campus apartment in November.
According to Bucknuts.com, Diebler stated, “Aaron is back with our team after the university concluded its process,” “There isn’t a set timeframe for what the return-to-play component would entail, but we will need to begin assessing it immediately. He will return with our team, though. We are unable to comment further on the university’s procedure, although that is the most recent information available.”
Bradshaw was a late scratch for the Buckeyes’ game against Campbell on November 22 after Ohio State issued a brief statement hours prior to the game stating that he would not be taking part in team activities. The statement did not elaborate, citing privacy rules. According to the Columbus Dispatch, the university is looking into an alleged incident at his apartment that caused him to be sidelined, although the specifics of the incident are yet unknown.
Bradshaw played every game at Ohio State as a center prior to the university investigation. He averaged 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game, helping the team start 3-1. According to BartTorvik.com, the Buckeyes’ defense finished 44th in efficiency during that time, while their offense came in 32nd. The squad is 3-2 and ranked 45th in offensive and 150th in defensive efficiency since he left.
Diebler did not go into detail on Monday regarding the findings of the university’s probe or provide a firm timeline for Bradshaw’s return to playing. Ohio State will play No. 2 Auburn on Saturday in Atlanta. The tip-off time is set for 1 p.m. ET.
Ohio State fans are outraged as the son of a Buckeye legend heads to Michigan. “Does Kirk Herbstreit not see that his son is being used as a pawn in this rivalry?”
The rivalry between Ohio State and Michigan has been intense over the past nine days, and for Buckeye supporters, it became even worse on Sunday.
The Buckeyes’ hopes of competing for the Big Ten championship were dashed more than a week ago when Michigan defeated them in the Horseshoe for the fourth consecutive season. The son of a former Ohio State quarterback committed to Michigan a week later.
Ohio State Supporters Disapprove of Michigan
Over the weekend, Chase, the son of current ESPN college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit, committed to Michigan.
Chase, who is from Cincinnati, attended St. Xavier for high school football. The majority of sources rate him as a three-star recruit.
Herbstreit’s decision to pledge to Michigan upset a lot of Ohio State supporters, and one of the nation’s top Buckeye supporters made a valid point.
Tate from Barstool Sports in Ohio posted on Twitter, asking if Kirk Herbstreit is unaware that his son is being utilized as a pawn in the game. Behind Bryce Underwood, the child is a zero-star quarterback. He is only being used by Michigan to harass Ohio State. And they were duped.
As a pawn in the game, is Kirk Herbstreit unaware that his son is being used? Kid is behind Bryce Underwood and a zero-star quarterback. He is only being used by Michigan to harass Ohio State. And they were duped.
It’s likely that they just offered to troll Ohio State because Herbstreit only received one offer from any school, and that was from Michigan, according to 247sports.com.
It infuriated many Buckeye fans without cause, and Michigan knew what they were doing. Herbstreit isn’t exactly a fantastic player. He will never play and be a waste of a roster place.
