Three clear needs have emerged in the transfer portal for Ohio State as Jake Diebler’s first full offseason rages onward.
With the Buckeyes already having reclaimed the services of Meechie Johnson Jr. from South Carolina, portal attrition from four players – three that played a significant role in 2023-24 – gives Ohio State exactly three open scholarships as well.
Starting shooting guard Roddy Gayle Jr. is taking his talents elsewhere, as are rotational pieces in guard Scotty Middleton and forward Zed Key along with reserve guard Bowen Hardman.
