Who has been a pleasant surprise? And who needs to step it up as the back half of the season starts?

We also discuss our overreactions to the loss and whether they are reasonable or just bad thoughts. To close, we preview this week’s national slate.

Ohio State women’s basketball on Twitter | @OhioStateWBB

When both Cambridge sisters make it to the court, Kennedy brings a year of experience watching from the sidelines.

College basketball season is fast approaching and Land-Grant Holy Land is getting you ready with a series of player previews. Before the season starts this fall, check back regularly for more player previews, schedule news, features, and more heading into the 2024-25 Ohio State women’s basketball season.


Transfer season’s become one of the most exciting off-the-court times of the college basketball calendar. It’s when players declare their intent to transfer, teams shuffle their rosters and athletes don new garb to finish out their collegiate careers.

Last summer, Ohio State women’s basketball made a splash by adding a finalist for National Defensive Player of the Year in Celeste Taylor. That addition plus an in-conference transfer with Taiyier Parks from Michigan State gave the Buckeyes names they could bring into the lineup for an immediate impact.

Kennedy Cambridge was part of that group, but Ohio State fans never saw her play a minute on the court. Entering head coach Kevin McGuff’s program as a sophomore, Cambridge was redshirted. Now, with three years available in scarlet and gray, Cambridge is likely to make her debut as a Buckeye on the court, and with that she brings defense and energy the Buckeyes need.


Name: Kennedy Cambridge
Position: Guard
Class: Redshirt sophomore
High School: The Ensworth School (Nashville, Tennessee)
2022-23 Stats: 2.7 ppg, 2.3 rpg, 1.2 apg, .488 FG%, .250 3FG%, .350 FT%

Last Season​


To look at Cambridge’s work on the court, you have to go back two seasons. That’s when the freshman debuted for the Kentucky Wildcats of the SEC.

In one season, Cambridge started once in 19 appearances, that came in the regular season against the Georgie Bulldogs. Cambridge didn’t see the court again for the Wildcats, despite having performances where the guard stood out in an area Ohio State desperately needs — rebounding.

Cambridge twice had games with eight rebounds, and half of them came on the offensive boards, including the Feb. 16 defeat to the Bulldogs; her final appearance of the year.

The freshman who led all Kentucky freshman with 273 minutes wasn’t injured. Then Wildcats’ head coach Kyra Elzy sat Cambridge on a “coach’s decision.” In May, Cambridge announced her decision to join the Buckeyes, referencing the Buckeyes culture and assistant head coach Jalen Powell as key reasons she chose the Scarlet and Gray.

“JP [assistant coach Jalen Powell brings something that I didn’t have at Kentucky. And I’m not going to say they didn’t care about me, but it’s a different care over here.”

What to Expect​


Cambridge brings intensity on the offensive and defensive ends of the court. When asked what fans can expect from her, Cambridge said she’ll be smiling the whole time she’s on the court. Cambridge loves the game and of all things defense sticks out.

Coach McGuff can use Cambridge for just that, on a side that lost key defensive guards like Celeste Taylor and Jacy Sheldon. Cambridge will also use her energy to get between players and grab a high number of rebounds for a guard.

The guard’s one year of sitting on the bench and watching also gives her a leg up in knowing the system. Cambridge practiced with the side last season, often playing on the scout team to challenge her teammates and learn the ropes before settling into a role this season.

Also, Cambridge knows two of her teammates on the court well. Joining Ohio State one year after Cambridge is forward Ajae Petty. The two played with each other the lone year Cambridge played in the Bluegrass State. Then there’s Jaloni Cambridge.

Last year, Kennedy didn’t reference any injury when talking about the redshirt classification. Which means it could have been to give her three seasons to play alongside her younger sister and No. 1 overall point guard in the 2024 class, Jaloni.

Prediction​


There will be competition for minutes at the guard position this year, with Jaloni Cambridge and Chance Gray the likely backcourt duo for McGuff. That means Cambridge will have to battle with Madison Greene, Ava Watson and Kaia Henderson for minutes.

With Cambridge’s defensive mindset, and years of playing together with Jaloni on high school championship-winning teams, Cambridge should see minutes on the court.

The non-conference schedule is light, and watching how minutes get divvied up by McGuff will give a hint as to how the guard battle shapes up heading into conference play.

Expect Cambridge to be part of that group, likely coming in behind Greene for a defensive spark.

Highlights​


In 2021, Cambridge herself shared a highlight reel of her work on both sides of the ball.

Yes, college basketball players have interests outside of basketball!

Ohio State’s annual basketball media day is a great opportunity for the media to catch up with returning players after a long summer, get to know new members of the program a little better, and hear from the coaching staff about the upcoming season. Getting the opportunity to ask the players questions in a non-press conference format usually leads to better answers, as the players aren’t wound so tight after playing a game.

Plus, everyone in the room — media and players alike — are excited for basketball to be back.

On top of that, media day is the most casual setting us media folks will have to ask players questions for the rest of the year. It is the last chance to ask questions relating back to last season, the off-season, and even some fun, off-topic questions that have nothing to do with basketball.

As you can imagine, the players got several repeat questions from the media. After half an hour, the team probably memorized their answers to these questions:

  • What have been the differences you’ve noticed with Coach Diebler leading the program?
  • Are you guys actually going to pick up the pace this season?
  • How has the chemistry been with this new group of guys so far?

So on, and so forth.

To shake things up and give the members of Team 126 a chance to talk about their personal interests, I asked several players about football. Specifically, I wanted to know which NFL teams — if any — they were fans of, and why?

A few players are fans of specific players, a few follow teams because of where they grew up, and at least one loves football but has absolutely no interest in being loyal to one team.

Here’s what I learned about the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s NFL fandom.

(Note: I wasn’t able to ask every player. These are the answers from the players who were available on Tuesday, Oct. 8)​

Question: Do you have a favorite NFL team, and if so, why? ​

Austin Parks: Dallas Cowboys ​


“The Dallas Cowboys. Mainly because I’m from — well, I don’t want to say I’m from Dallas, but I was born down there. My entire family on my mom’s side, they’re all big Dallas fans, even my dad’s side. But I was born there, grew up there a little bit, moved up here. Just brought that love for Dallas — all Dallas things, really. Mavericks, Rangers, brought all that love up here.

So does that mean you stayed up the other night to see the end of that Sunday night game (versus the Pittsburgh Steelers)?

“Oh yeah, I stayed up for it.”

Bruce Thornton: New York Jets ​


“I’m really an Aaron Rodgers fan. So I’m a Jets fan right now, and our coach just got fired this morning. So I’m low-key mad about that. So now it really looks all dysfunctional, but they (Aaron Rodgers and former Jets HC Robert Saleh) weren’t getting along. I know Aaron Rodgers is going to retire soon, so I’ve gotta find a new player.”

So you were a Packers fan when you were younger, but now that he’s in New York you’re a Jets fan?

“Yeah, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, all of them.”

Devin Royal: Nobody​


“I don’t have a team.”

Do you not watch?

“Oh no, I definitely watch the NFL, but I’m just not picking a team.”

Evan Mahaffey: Cincinnati Bengals ​


“So growing up I was a big Packers fan, and obviously I was a Bengals fan (too). But I’ve been really sticking with the Bengals. I love Cincinnati all the way. So right now I’m a big Cincinnati guy, I know we’re struggling right now.”

“So you’re gonna ride it out with the Bengals?”

“For sure. I’m riding with Cincinnati for sure, all the way. Rough start, but we’re gonna build off of it.”

John Mobley Jr.: Kansas City Chiefs​


“Kansas City. I’ve been following Kansas City for, I wanna say, I don’t know. People say I’m being a bandwagon, but I’d say for the past like… ever since Patrick Mahomes (got drafted), that’s my quarterback.”

Micah Parrish: Detroit Lions​


“Detroit! I’m from Detroit, the Lions, man! I love the Lions, man. Super Bowl, man. Super Bowl.”

Before his time at Baylor, Simons was the director of basketball operations for one season at Boston College in 2021-22 and served in the same role at College of Charleston for two seasons from 2019-21.


Simons and Diebler both served on staff for three seasons with Bryce Drew at Vanderbilt from 2016-19. Simons was the program’s director of scouting. During the 2016-16 season, the Commadores were 19-16 overall and earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament.


Prior to their time in Nashville, Simons and Diebler were also together at Valparaiso during the 2015-16 season as Simons was the program’s director of scouting. That season, the Crusaders the Crusaders set the program’s single season win record, won a Horizon League championship, and advanced to the finals of the National Invitation Tournament.


Simons spent nearly a decade as a coach and regional coordinator with Athletes in Action, created to help athletes to use their platform as a part of God’s mission. During his time with AIA, he served an integral role in assembling and directing multiple international competitive tours throughout Europe and Asia. Additionally, he created Captains Academy, an AIA leadership initiative to serve influencers specifically in the sport of basketball.


Simons served as Director of Operations for Team USA at three World University Games, a stretch that saw the men's basketball team win two golds and a silver medal. He also co-founded the International Basketball Coaches Experience, an event held annually at the NCAA Final Four.


His international coaching experience also includes working as an assistant coach and Director of Player Development for the Mongolian National Team from 2012-15, helping guide the team to the final round of the 2015 Asian Games. Simons’ coaching background also includes a stint as interim head coach at Black Hawk College in Moline, Ill., and five years as an assistant coach at West Lafayette High School in West Lafayette, Ind.


The Shelbyville, Ind., native is a graduate of Purdue University with a bachelor's degree in movement and sports science.

Talor Battle (Assistant Coach)

brodybuck21
Talor Battle was named an assistant coach on Jake Diebler’s staff on June 3, 2024. He spent the previous three seasons as an assistant coach at Northwestern.


Battle had a decorated career as a point guard at Penn State and then helped guide one of the best backcourts in the country at Northwestern as the Wildcats had a record-setting season in 2023-24.


In his final season at Northwestern, Battle and the Wildcats notched the school’s second NCAA Tournament berth, had a 22-12 overall record, and finished second in the Big Ten Conference standings with a 12-8 league ledger. For the first time since 1958-59, Northwestern finished second in the league standings, while also setting a school record for conference wins in a single-season.


Wildcat guards of Chase Audige and Boo Buie combined to form one of the best backcourts in the country and in school history. Audige was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, a first at NU since 1994, and an All-Big Ten Second Team selection. Buie, who is Battle’s younger brother, posted one of the best seasons by a point guard in program history and became the first Wildcat named All-Big Ten First Team since 2012. Buie was also a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, which is awarded to the nation’s best point guard. The duo became the first Northwestern teammates to earn first and second team All-Big Ten honors since 1963-64.


Prior to his time on Chris Collins’ staff at Northwestern, Battle served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Penn State during the COVID season in 2020-21.


He played professionally overseas for seven years (2011-18) before joining the coaching ranks.


Battle, a 2011 Associated Press honorable-mention All-American, is Penn State's all-time leading scorer with 2,213 career points during his four-year career. He helped lead the Nittany Lions to the 2009 National Invitation Tournament championship, the program's first national title, and a program-record 27 wins that season. He earned All-Big Ten Tournament Team honors in 2011 as Penn State advanced to its first Big Ten Tournament championship game and first NCAA tournament appearance in a decade.


The Albany, N.Y., native is one of only two players to lead Penn State in scoring in four-straight seasons. He was the first Nittany Lion to twice earn All-Big Ten first team, first-team NABC All-District and first-team USBWA honors, and four-time team MVP accolades.


Battle finished his career in the Top-5 of Penn State's career lists for assists (4th; 517), 3-point field goals (3rd; 317), field goals (2nd; 722) and free throws (4th; 452), as well as setting the career record for starts (131) and Big Ten record for career minutes played (4,799).


Battle graduated from Penn State in 2011 with a degree in recreation, park, and tourism management.


He and his wife, Gretchen, are the parents of two daughters, Layna and Stella.
