Episode Details

The Ohio State men's basketball team made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in four years last season. Now, Jake Diebler and the Buckeyes are looking to build on that this year, and they have an intriguing combination of returning standouts, veteran transfers, and a pair of 5-star true freshmen who could make that possible. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear directly from Diebler with his thoughts on:

• Guard Juni Mobley, who considered entering the NBA Draft before returning for another season in Columbus
• Forward Amare Bynum, whose return for a second season was a huge offseason win for the program
• Transfer Justin Pippen, who projects to be an impact player both on and off the court
• 5-star freshman Anthony Thompson, whose athleticism could be a gamechanger
• 5-star freshman LJ Smith, a late addition to the roster, who enrolled a year earlier than expected
