Buckeyes Eye Returning Center Tilly | College Basketball News
Description
Ohio State may be circling back to Christoph Tilly, their 7-foot center from last season, as they scramble to fill their final roster spot for the 2026-27 campaign — thanks to a new NCAA ruling that grants seniors from the 2022 class an extra year of eligibility. Tilly, who had already entered the transfer portal in anticipation, could bring instant scoring, rebounding, and playmaking to a shaky center position — but the decision isn’t without risk: legal uncertainty over the ruling’s validity, potential disruption to chemistry with summer recruits like Ivan Njegovan and Josh Ojianwuna, and the emotional weight of bringing back a player who left on uncertain terms. The Buckeyes face a tough call between proven talent and team cohesion as the season nears.
