James Snook-Imagn Images Ohio State looks just about done in the transfer portal after adding four players who opted to leave their old programs and come to Columbus. Jake Diebler and his staff also added three freshmen — A’mare Bynum, Mathieu Grujicic, and Myles Herro. After missing the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season, Ohio State had no choice but to make the necessary reinforcements that will take them back to the big dance next year. Did they do enough?

John Mobley Jr. had one of the better freshmen seasons in program history this past year. He averaged 13 points per game, knocked down 77 three-pointers in 32 games, and scored in double-digits in each of his first six college games. When Meechie Johnson left the team in December, he blended into the starting lineup almost seamlessly, providing comparable offense to what the Buckeyes expected to get from the more experienced Johnson had he played all year.

Set Number: X42528 Every city in Ohio is proud of its high school basketball talent.

But which city has fueled the Ohio State men’s basketball program with the most talent? We will get into that shortly.

Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Well, one month down, five to go. Roster and coaching staff turnover continues as we roll into May, as Ohio State is still looking for one more player and one more coach to top off the 2025-2026 roster. The team will return to campus next month for summer classes, which means these things should all pretty much be wrapped up in the next four weeks or so.

Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images Ohio State lost five games last season by three points or fewer. If any of those five had flipped the other way, the Buckeyes probably would’ve heard their names called on Selection Sunday. They didn’t, however, and they weren’t included in the NCAA Tournament. Instead, they were one of the first four teams left on the outside looking in. Last week, Connor and Justin debated which former Buckeyes absolutely should’ve been drafted higher in the NBA Draft.

Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The college basketball offseason is starting to slow down a bit, as high-major teams are putting the finishing touches on their roster as their allotted NIL budgets begin to dwindle. Ohio State is included in that, as Jake Diebler and his staff are nearly – but not completely – done adding to the 2025-2026 roster.

Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images After a no-good, very bad April Fool’s day earlier this week, the Ohio State men’s basketball program had a much better April Third day on the roster front. At about 7:45 a.m. head coach Jake Diebler announced during a quick radio interview that he’s expecting Thornton to go through with the NBA Draft process and then ultimately return to Ohio State for his senior season.

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Ohio State isn’t playing in the NCAA Tournament (again), but in a weird way, the FOMO isn’t as bad as we thought it would be. That’s partially because the Buckeyes have jumped on the transfer portal early — two Buckeyes have left the program via transfer (Austin Parks and Evan Mahaffey), and one has joined the team (Gabe Cupps). As of Friday morning, Ohio State only had one open spot remaining on the 2025-2026 roster.
