NCAA Basketball: Examing potential options of grad transfer Seth Towns

Michigan Wolverines

Admittedly, this is a tough situation for Towns to potentially go to. Just looking at who could return at the forward position, there’s Franz Wagner, Brandon Johns Jr. and Isaiah Livers, who led the team in scoring despite dealing with injuries since December. That doesn’t even include five-star power forward Isaiah Todd or top-90 frontcourt prospect Terrance Williams arriving from the 2020 class.

This is a projected top-15 team with second-weekend potential to if playing on another winning squad matters, the Wolverines can make a case for Towns to choose them. But from a playing-time perspective, the minutes may not be there if Wagner does indeed return for another season.

Ohio State Buckeyes

As the hometown option, Ohio State could be the favorite to land Towns at the end of the day. The interesting point is that there is just one senior graduating from the rotation (Andre Wesson), with Cal transfer Justice Sueing (14.1 ppg and 5.7 rpg) coming off a redshirt year.

The Harvard forward can certainly find minutes at the 3-4 spot, with Kaleb Wesson and Kyle Young taking over at the center position and the Buckeyes will be very good next season. The decision will look to find a proper balance between playing on a winning team, while still getting an appropriate amount of minutes. Would Towns start over EJ Liddell? That question could determine where he ends up.
