Justice Sueing to return to college for sixth year, might be Ohio State

Ohio State forward Justice Sueing has made a decision to return for a sixth year of eligibility, but the destination is unknown. John Rothstein was the first to report the news, and according to the Columbus Dispatch (subscription may be required), Sueing is likely to come back to be a part of the Buckeye program.

Sueing was expected to play a prominent role on last year’s squad, but an abdominal injury kept him out of the lineup all but two games of the season. During the 2020-2021 campaign, the Honolulu, Hawaii, native started every game for the Buckeyes, often adding extra ball-handling and an ability to get in the lane, mix it up, and score. He averaged 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per contest last year.

He transferred to Ohio State in 2019 after leading the California Bears in scoring his freshman and sophomore seasons. It’s been an inconsistent ride with the Buckeyes so far for Sueing, but there’s no denying his size, ability, and strength that should continue to translate well to the Big Ten should he decide to stay in Columbus. There is no doubt that head coach Chris Holtmann would welcome Sueing should he want to remain in the scarlet and gray.

As more news becomes available on Sueing’s decision, we will bring it to you. In the meantime, we continue to watch the transfer portal in the brave, new world of college basketball roster construction.
