Jake Diebler and Ohio State Not Shying Away from Championship Standard, Winning Experience Important in Roster, Staff Construction

Much has changed since the last time Jake Diebler sat before a microphone and media contingent.

Four new transfers have been added to Ohio State's roster. Five new coaches have filled out Diebler's first staff.

What clearly hasn't changed much is the head coach's personality and approach. The Buckeyes are still focused on forging an identity around an increased pace, versatile play and a family atmosphere. Diebler even enjoys much of the same daily routines he did when he was an assistant, he said, though his coaching duties weigh heavier on his mind throughout.

However, his goal this season is to cut down nets, something he and his players haven't shied away from this offseason.
