Hopefully he said that just to appease his Illini buddies. Back up the NIL Brinks truck and change his mind.
Nobody knows, Ohio State media with the basketball program is pure trash. I doubt they get anyone who’s going to be good enough to make them better than last season.
He played 70 minutes last season and did very little. I doubt they are canceling the team's season because of his second knee injury.
The talent is there and he was the only guard on the team with any sort of size or length.
Unproven talent on the college court as of yet. Parish has size, Thornton is just under his height but makes up for it with his strength. He's a bad lose but not a season ending loss.
I didn't think the team was going to be any good before the Chatman injury. In my eyes they are at a net negative in regards to the players they've lost vs what they brought in
Well then I suppose your reaction to this announcement was unwarranted if you felt they were going to suck prior to it. The transfer portal has changed many things. Not every team can improve every year in the portal and with a brand new head coach there has to be some growing time allowed.
That’s where you’re wrong. This is Ohio State, who historically has a top 15 program of all time. I’m getting sick of people thinking this is some mid tier Big Ten program when it’s not. I and a lot of other OSU fans expect immediate success out of any coach the program hires or they are not OSU material.
That's where you disagree and misunderstand but I'm not wrong. Ohio State is historically a top 25 program with multiple stretches of time spent in the top 10. The school and community support basketball but the sport is clearly #2 at best on campus. This does not mean I am satisfied and accepting that. You can expect anything that you want but the reality is the program has been solid but needed a new face and the top 10 paid coaches do not have Ohio State on their list of application spots. Even Dan Hurley was below .500 his first year at UConn with 8 seasons as a head coach before getting their. Many coaches are still trying to figure out the portal.
Yes we are in total disagreement about where this program stands. Two lists right here that have OSU firmly in the top 15. Now....they are only going to continue dropping with more and more missed tournaments and hiring of bad coaches.

As much as I enjoy history, I do not compare the teams and game of today to the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and even a lot of the 80s. The 60s have a lot to do with those rankings you post. Plus I normally make judgements from results, not potential. AP and Coach's rankings are always biased in some form and are only opinions, which is what you and I have.
Its insane how you never miss an opportunity to be miserable. We get it already I promise...Ohio State sucks at everything. You feel better now?Yes we are in total disagreement about where this program stands. Two lists right here that have OSU firmly in the top 15. Now....they are only going to continue dropping with more and more missed tournaments and hiring of bad coaches.

I'm not trying to compare anything but from a whole Ohio State basketball is a top 15 program all time and the expectations should be MUCH higher than they are. OSU has also been to 3 final fours in the last 25 years, not sure why you think they've only been to 2.
This is such a dumb comment, I can't even....
What years?
You are comparing if you use all those years. I was speaking of the recent OSU program.
99, 07, 12
Let's say for the sake of argument I would agree and completely disregard what OSU did pre 21st century. Since 2001 they've had pretty damn good success up until about 2020
How many seasons ago was 1999?
I'm not asking anyone to disregard any success OSU has had. I'm just saying the John Lucas teams are not setting any standards for Meechie Johnson.
25 exactly
They aren’t, if they did then OSU would be trying to keep up as a top 5 program.
1999 was 26 seasons ago.
Diebler is trying to improve the standard and you’ve already decided in June they “suck”.
We are in the year 2024. 1999 was 25 years ago.
Trying and not achieving. Like I said before, they are at a net negative with next seasons roster compared to this seasons.
