Ohio State @ Iowa, Wednesday Feb. 25, 9pm EST, BTN

Just gotta nuke the whole program and rebuild it from the ground up
I’m close to this…but willing to give the upgraded talent a chance next year.

But it won’t matter if this is the culture they walk into. These guys all ACT like they know basketball is the little brother at Ohio State. I just sense it even with the players this is just a hobby. No winning attitude at all.

Bruce tries. Everyone else seems like they’re just happy to wear the jersey and get some cool gear.

I just don't think Diebler is very good at actually being a head coach.

And talent might not even upgrade overall next year. Thompson is nice but he alone doesn't even come close to fixing the issues. With Bruce gone if the portal results aren't an upgrade from this year and last next year's team might actually be worse overall.

I think they do need a major roster overhaul, but that requires NIL $, which they have not been competitive with for this basketball team. There needs to be an emphasis on getting a team that can play just as physical as the top teams in college basketball, and you've got to upgrade big-time in terms of size, strength, length, quickness and athleticism. Obviously you want to keep guys like Mobley, Royal and Bynum, but beyond them there aren't any guys you would lose any sleep over transferring.
