Things are coming together for the Ohio State basketball team for the 2026-27 season. The nonconference schedule is more or less set with several marquee matchups, and the roster is in place after the reclassification of 5-star guard LJ Smith and the return of sharpshooter John Mobley Jr. after he flirted with the NBA draft process.
Head coach Jake Diebler held an open practice this past week, and afterwards he took some time to touch on those things and more with a small group of reporters. It wasn't a very long impromptu interview or press conference, but it was still worth the watch to get an idea of how things are progressing in the offseason.
In case you didn't get a chance to listen to what Diebler had to say, we have his entire interview, thanks to our friends at the Columbus Dispatch, for you to ingest and absorb. As an added bonus, there's also video of Mobley talking to reporters on why he returned to Columbus.
There's still quite an offseason to go for the Buckeyes, but the season opener is a contest out in Salt Lake City against BYU on Nov. 2. It'll be here before you know it.
