Jake Diebler Trusting Development of Ohio State’s Three-Point Shooting Entering 2024-25

There’s no denying the talent Jake Diebler has added to his first Ohio State roster in the transfer portal.

A former Buckeye turned South Carolina star at guard. A five-star prospect and McDonald’s All-American at center. A five-star prospect and McDonald’s All-American at power forward. An NCAA Tournament runner-up on the wing.

There’s one downside each of those four players have in common, however – none of them shot 33% or better from 3-point distance last season. Meechie Johnson Jr. has consistently hovered around 32% and flashed exceptional range while Micah Parrish hit 35% each of his other three seasons, but when replacing a shooter in Jamison Battle who converted 43.
