The college basketball world is seeing more transfers than it ever has. A team like the Ohio State Buckeyes continues to lose players from their roster that went 17-15 and missed their third straight NCAA Tournament.

Ohio State is just about depleted on the interior now with Ivan Njegovan being the lone scholarship player on the roster at center. Njegovan averaged 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds per game in 21 appearances.
