Do we have a thread about various OSU beat writers and podcasts and whatnot? Apparently Austin Ward and Birm have been fired, so THE podcast is in a bit of some turmoil at the moment. Anybody know what's up?

I guess you could read these:

OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

Diebler says he is looking for toughness, experience, and a winning-first mentality in his additions out of the portal.

I was wondering why they would target a player like Bryan Etumnu, I suppose that explains it. They do want to add some teeth to the team on defense, and that is where that kind of guy would fit in to the rotation. The problem is they also need 3-point shooting, though, so a Micah Parrish-type player is really what I would say would be their biggest need right now. I kind of expect them to add 2 more players, a wing shooter is the given, and perhaps they will also add another glue guy forward to replace Mahaffey.

Without saying too much, I have heard similar. There are more allegations likely to come out, and we still expect to learn that a new Notice of Inquiry has been or is about to be delivered.
A few weeks ago I mentioned an article I was expecting to run about infighting and disarray up north. That piece hasn't hit yet, but the noise around it is very much still there. I sense that the failures of their last-ditch efforts to sacrifice a few and move on have made them see the corner they're in.

Yeah baby:

He looks like a guy who just shit himself and is trying to determine if others can smell it.
