The Ohio State basketball roster continues to take shape.
The latest news comes from the transfer portal with the addition of 6-foot-8-inch Wright State forward Brandon Noel. Originally out of Lucasville, Ohio, Noel will have one year of eligibility left and adds an additional scoring option from a player who averaged 19 points per contest for the Raiders last season. That is, as long as those scoring abilities translate to the rough and tumble Big Ten. He went to high school not too far away from Ohio State, just down Route 23 in Chillicothe, where he was an All-Ohio First Teamer his senior year.
Noel also showed great shot selection as evidenced by his 55.2% field goal percentage. He can knock the three down a little, having posted a 35.8% clip during the 2024-2025 season, and will get on the boards as well, having pulled down 7.7 rebounds per game. In other words, head coach Jake Deibler and company should be getting a versatile guy that can help them in multiple ways.
The addition of Noel brings the total of transfer portal additions to three so far. The Buckeyes also received commitments from the portal from Gabe Cupps of Indiana and Christopher Tilly of Santa Clara. Ohio State may not be done adding to the roster, and as more news becomes available, we'll bring it to you.
