Last season, the Ohio State basketball team brought in a horde of players from the Transfer Portal. It was a move that backfired, as the Buckeyes once again missed the NCAA Tournament. Only one of the players, Micah Parrish, ended up doing positive things for the team.
One of those disastrous players who transferred in to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes was Aaron Bradshaw. He transferred in from Kentucky as a former five-star recruit. He was terrible for the Buckeyes and was even suspended from the team while he was under investigation for an off-campus incident.
After the season ended, Bradshaw made the decision to transfer yet again, moving to his third program in as many years. He's now at Memphis. He's been such a problem there that his new coach has started to take away his NIL money in order to motivate him.
Former Ohio State center Aaron Bradshaw getting fined at Memphis
Bradshaw has been displaying the same lazy habits that he did in Columbus. Memphis coach Penny Hardaway is not standing for it, and he has started fining Bradshaw by taking away his NIL money. According to The Daily Helsman, Bradshaw has lost out on $20,000.
Hardway explained why he started doing this with him.
“I fined him for being late. I fined him for violating our dress code, three grand here, three grand there. Guess who started to show up early? Guess who started to put effort in?”
Jake Diebler did not do anything like this for Bradshaw while he was in Columbus. Quite frankly, Bradshaw has shown himself to be a lazy player who clearly isn't interested in doing anything to improve his status as a player. It's a good thing that he's no longer with the Buckeyes.
It seems that Diebler has made a better decision with the players he brought in from the Transfer Portal this past offseason.
