The college basketball transfer portal is officially open, and the action is heating up. Following a season that saw the national champion built almost entirely through portal additions, programs across the country are looking to make transformative moves. For Ohio State, after a return to the NCAA Tournament, the mission is clear: use the portal to build a roster that can make a deeper March run.

Head coach Jake Diebler and his staff are now in the thick of the offseason's most critical period. The modern era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has turned the portal into a high-stakes team-building tool, allowing for rapid roster reconstruction. The Buckeyes will be active on both sides of the equation—managing departures while targeting impact players who can elevate the program.
