Ohio State fans are going to get to see Meechie Johnson Jr. a bit earlier than expected. On Sunday, Johnson announced that he will reclassify, graduate and join the Buckeyes this season. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA has granted an extra year of eligibility to all college basketball players this season, so he will still be a classified as a freshman in the 2021-22 season. The move will allow Johnson to get his feet wet and could also provide more depth for the Ohio State backcourt.
