Ohio State Men's Basketball: Buckeyes Going Big Up Front In 2026-27

Jake Diebler's third full season as Ohio State's head coach is going to have a different - and bigger - look than the previous two years. The Buckeyes loaded up with big bodies in the front court to allow Amare Bynum to play farther from the hoop, and those bigger players should give OSU the ability to throw a number of different looks at opponents. 

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Marcus Hartman, the new basketball insider at BuckeyeInsiders.com, joins host Tom Orr to discuss the four big players that Diebler is going to roll out this year, and how they could change the game for the basketball Buckeyes. 

• Ivan Njegoven, who is ready to take on a bigger role in year three
• Andrija Jelavic, a Kentucky transfer who can stretch the floor
• Josh Ojianwuna, a big-bodied Baylor transfer who can provide muscle down low
• Vuk Lazerovic, a freshman who may be a year away from taking on a role
