Devin Royal's bond with Jake Diebler – alongside an expanded plan for him on offense – is what kept him at Ohio State while several of his teammates entered the transfer portal.

BOND WITH JAKE DIEBLER, PLANS FOR EXPANDED ROLE KEPT DEVIN ROYAL AT OHIO STATE​

Despite Devin Royal’s Buckeye State background and surge in the second half of last season, there was still a decision for him to make when Ohio State’s basketball program transitioned from Chris Holtmann to Jake Diebler.

Five of Royal’s teammates became teammates no more via the transfer portal. He could have easily joined them in that respect if he felt his future was brighter elsewhere.

Ultimately, the primary reason Royal stayed with the Buckeyes was Diebler himself.

“Just the role and what Dieb has planned for me this year coming up,” Royal said. “The guys he’s got coming in, the key (pieces) he’s got. He just wanted me to come in and be more of a key point than last year, so that’s what I really wanted to be in. Me and Dieb have a great relationship. That's kind of like family. So it was good to stay around.”

Five Big Ten men’s basketball sophomores who could have breakout seasons​

Every year we see guys make a significant jump from their freshman to sophomore seasons, so who could that be this season?

Even though we are only through Week 1 of the college football season, September also means that college basketball is just around the corner. With men’s hoops tipping off before we know it, let’s take a look at five sophomores who are due for a breakout second season.

If you don’t know these names now, you will soon...

Devin Royal - Ohio State Buckeyes​

This list would not be complete if I did not have a slight homer pick of a Buckeye on here. Royal deserves to be on this list as someone who showed progress specifically once the Buckeyes made the jump from Chris Holtmann to Jake Diebler.

Royal will share time in the front court with Aaron Bradshaw, Sean Stewart, and Micah Parrish, but he will be a force on offense any time that he plays.
