The Weekender: Arch Manning's commitment could make things interesting for Quinn Ewers at Texas, the Big Ten dominates the NBA draft and Jim Tressel is set to step down at YSU.
Of course, Ewers was a phenom recruit in his own right, ranked No. 1 overall in the class of 2022 before reclassifying this past August to join the Buckeye program a year earlier than expected. Things didn’t go the way Ewers or the Ohio State coaching staff expected, with Ewers transferring out of program just a few months after arriving in Columbus, but the success of C.J.
In his first season as a starter in 2022, Ewers may prove good enough for there to be little threat from Manning come 2023. But there’s no guarantee that will be the case, which makes the impending Longhorn QB battle all the more interesting when it eventually takes place.Despite the depth of the conference in recent years, the Big Ten didn’t have all that much success pumping first-round prospects into the NBA in the last three drafts leading into Thursday.
Just one Big Ten player went in the first round in both 2021 and 2020 , and only two players from the conference were selected in the first round the year before that. This past week, however, the Big Ten equaled its number of first-round draftees from the past three years on one night alone. Including the Buckeyes’ Malaki Branham, four Big Ten players were drafted in the first round, and the conference led all others with nine selections in total. Among Big Ten schools, Ohio State and Michigan were the lone two programs to see multiple players drafted, with Branham going 20th overall and E.J. Liddell being taken at No. 41.
