Holy shit the Columbus NIL machine is firing in all cylinders!!!

Could we be finally seeing a huge uptick in Buckeye basketball aspirations?! What a world

A 7 footer that can really run and shoot threes is a team changer.

Then pair him up with another 7 foot-ish guy that can defend the rim in Felix? I know every position is important, but that can be an impossible thing to stop. Super pumped to see it.

Key was interesting/ironic.. Generally you see someone morph his body like he did as a major positive... but in hindsight, that addl bulk was the arrow in his quiver that permitted him to pose his will and effectiveness... slimmed down, he needed to have a much higher degree of skill that was missing...

Buckeyes to tip off Diebler's first full season as coach vs. Texas in Las Vegas​

It is believed this game could be part of the College Basketball Hall of Fame Series, which is a group of early season neutral site games. The OSU women's basketball team participated in this specific event by playing USC in Las Vegas this past November.

Big game to start off

Well now we have Micah Parrish committed to be on this team. I just watched SDSU-Bama game from 2023, focusing on Parrish. It strikes me that he is the Scottie Middleton replacement. He does bring a similar height, length and build. He's a role player who will play off the ball, shoot the 3, rebound and defend. Very similar players to be honest.

It's looking to me that the SF spot will be the obvious #1 position battle for the Buckeyes in 2024-25, as Mahaffey, Parrish and White will all have a shot at minutes there. Adding Parrish (a super Senior) also keeps that SG spot wide open for the 2025 recruiting class, in hopes that they can attract a 5-star possibly. In terms of scoring ability, I think the reality is they're more replacing Roddy Gayle with Meechie Johnson. Now they just need a replacement for Battle's scoring & rebounding to round out the roster.
