Ohio State lands Indiana point guard from transfer portal.
The Ohio State Men's Basketball team has landed its first player from the transfer portal this year. Gabe Cupps announced on social media that he was coming home to play for the Buckeyes. Hailing from Centerville, Ohio, Cupps was the Ohio Mr. Basketball in his junior season with the Elks, where he helped lead Centerville to a State Championship. Centerville would be denied back-to-back titles in Cupps' senior year, falling to Pickerington Central and 2023 Ohio Mr. Basketball Devin Royal in the championship game. Cupps committed to Indiana and headed to Bloomington after high school. During his freshman season with the Hoosiers, Cupps appeared in 33 games, starting 22 of those where he averaged just under 3 points per game, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. Expectations were high for Cupps entering his sophomore season at IU, but his season would be cut short after a lower-body injury shut him down for the season after just four games. Cupps now heads back to the Buckeye State where he'll hope to contribute in Scarlet and Gray. Cupps will take one of the spots vacated by Austin Parks and Evan Mahaffey who entered the transfer portal shortly after the season ended.
