Osu

At first glance it looks as if Underwood inherited a bunch of talent. But his best guy was coming off season ending surgery and really only played half a season of D-1 ball. His next best guy Forte is a role player at best. Carroll, Hammonds and Solomon were spare parts at best under Ford but now they are productive and in Carroll's case 2nd team all conference. And off the bench it's 5 true freshman and Dillard who Ford couldn't see fit to play more than 20 minutes all year as a freshman. So I would have to say that he's done well with what he had to work with this year. Time will tell if his style of play and recruiting can sustain this uptick in OSU's program going forward.

He is a much better coach than Ford and did a great job keeping them on the right track after the losing streak. The key was Evans though he is a great player. If he and Forte hadn't been hurt last year Travis would probably still be the coach.
They have a nice set of starters.
Evans is super. Hopefully goes pro.
Forte may be the best shooter in the conference and plays all out.
Hammonds is a three year starter who occasionally shoots well.
Carroll is a very good player and athlete who played well until he was the main guy last year. He is helped a bunch by Evans and Forte being on the floor. Creates better matchups for him.
Soloman is a good role player. I know Kruger really wanted him in Norman.

They are in the tournament but I don't think they win again in the 16-17 season,
