Ohio State under Jake Diebler… ⭐️ Upset No. 2 Purdue in first game ⭐️ Won in East Lansing to end 17-game road losing streak ⭐️ Won 8/11 games ⭐️ Ended the year as one of the hottest teams in college basketball Thank you #Team125 Repost if you can’t wait for #Team126

What a graphic

In talking with multiple prospects since Jake Diebler took over Ohio State, there's a clear new trend in how prospects view OSU. When prospects receive an offer from Diebler, it means something real. Prospects without an offer wait expectantly for one. They hold out hope for an offer. The tide is shifting for Ohio State basketball. Jake Diebler is changing the culture and recruits are noticing.

Zed Key’s college basketball career comes to an end. He put Zach Edey in purgatory. He scored 20 points in an upset over No. 1 Duke. Countless finger guns. Enjoy your next step, @iamzedkey 🫶

🗣️🗣️🗣️ IT SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS AT THE SCHOTT 🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️🅾️

Absolutely wild voting numbers out of Ohio tonight. #Election2024

Open gym offense does not win basketball games.

The best player on the team. John Mobley Jr. looks like an NBA player who snuck into a college practice. He’s unconscious from deep (at least 5 3PTM), getting whatever he wants offensively, and looks overall far better than anyone on the court. Watch out, B1G.

SCREENSHOTS LAST FOREVER. O-H

One of my favorite memories since starting this podcast involves a walk-on. Colby Baumann scored a total of five points at Ohio State. He leaves the team after securing his degree and playing three years. In Ohio State’s blowout win over Michigan on 2024 Senior Day, Baumann saw action for just the third time that season. I sat a row or two behind his family. As the Buckeyes’ lead mounted over their bitter rivals, it became clear Baumann would see playing time. As he walked to the scorer’s table to check in, you could feel the energy emanating from the Baumann clan. They watched with anticipation as their son, brother, friend, loved one, stepped onto the floor. Baumann played just two minutes, and every second his family cheered as if it was the National Championship. Clenched fists and pregnant pauses every time Baumann touched the ball. At one point, he was fouled. He stepped to the charity stripe and made a free throw. Tears flowed as he scored his fifth career point. It made me emotional and I don’t even know the guy. It also served as a valuable lesson: We root and jeer for humans. These humans are no different from us. They feel. They have emotion. They fear and praise and love and hurt. This program has been surrounded by toxicity for three solid years. As we yearn for the team to improve, this moment always reminds me that family members and players feel as we do. They also feel the hate. Baumann gave his all to the program as a walk-on and his family cried tears of joy over two minutes on a random Sunday. Be kind, man. This stuff means far more than us as outsiders know.

Per @JoeTipton, 7-foot center Sinan Huan has cut his list to three schools: Ohio State, Illinois, and Purdue. A four-star and top 75 overall player, Huan visited OSU on Oct. 10 and visited Illinois and Purdue in September. Huan is expected to announce his decision this week.
