Just a day after Jake Diebler shared an update on where the Ohio State basketball team is and is headed, the Buckeyes landed another key addition to the roster. 6-foot-10 center Joshua Ojianwuna has committed to wear the Scarlet and Gray for the upcoming season.
Ojianwuna comes to Columbus via the transfer portal after spending three years with the Baylor Bears. While in Waco, the native Nigerian averaged 5.3 points during his time in Green and Gold. His most productive year came this past season, where he averaged 7.4 points per game on 77 percent shooting and added 6.4 rebounds while starting 23 games. He helped lead the Bears to a 20-15 record and a No. 9 seed in the NCAA tournament. Ojianwuan is a former four-star recruit and top 100 player.
Ojianwuna joins 7-footer Christoph Tilly and Brandon Noel as the latest to join the Buckeyes via the portal. Ohio State needed to address its lack of size on the inside, and Diebler has kept his focus on that need to help the Bucks be able to handle the physical play of the Big Ten. Ojianwuna will have one year of eligibility left and should be a nice addition for the Buckeyes.
