Episode Details

Ohio State Buckeyes basketball land transfer standouts Justin Pippen and Andrija Jelavic—could these moves spark a new era in Columbus? Head coach Jake Diebler shakes up the roster with Pippen, a versatile guard from Cal (and son of NBA legend Scottie Pippen), and Jelavic, a skilled 6'11" center from Kentucky, aiming to fill critical gaps left by departing players. Is Diebler’s transfer portal strategy enough to elevate the Buckeyes’ Big Ten contention?

Jay Stephens breaks down Pippen’s two-way potential and debates whether he should start or anchor a reenergized bench, while analyzing how Yelovich’s SEC-tested game can impact the paint in the Big Ten. Key topics include the evolving roles of Amare Bynum, Anthony Thompson, and the possibility of John Mobley Jr.’s return. Will Diebler’s development track record translate to big-man success in Columbus? Don’t miss this insight-packed evaluation of Ohio State’s roster transformation and the hurdles that remain.
