No one thinks Noel is going to get another year. Both G and C they have major needs. I think they do have flexibility to put Mobley at the 1 as long as they get a guard who can pair well with him by being strong in the areas Mobley isn't particularly strong (defense, size, length, strength, ability to get to the foul line). Ideally they get a tough, athletic, strong big man who can pass the ball and can hit the 3, although Ojianwuna may be able to do most of those things.Believe that Diebs will be looking for a seasoned PG, and a C in the portal. After watching the Buckeyes this season, and seeing how much Thornton did, cannot really project Mobley, Chatman, or Cupps replacing him. Losing Tilly and Noel hurts, as am more of a Tilly supporter than most. Maybe Noel gets a medical redshirt? Not certain what entails, but think he'd be support, but not a primetime player. Anyway, see things most the same way as others above, Bynum is going to be tested with the NIL portal, and all the 'tampering' that is going to go on.
