Transfer Wing Micah Parrish Expects to Be “Tone-Setter” For Ohio State in 2024-25​

The mental, motivational and more or less intangible side of basketball are elements that can often be undervalued by spectators and pundits alike.
A player’s on-court production is quantifiable. There’s no way to calculate the mentality that same player brings. There’s no stat called hustle plays per game.
Ohio State’s transfer portal acquisition on the wing, Micah Parrish, had strong statistical outputs at his previous stop, San Diego State. But it’s those intangible qualities that he was perhaps most known for.
“At San Diego State I was known as the tone-setter. I set the tone on defense,” Parrish said. “When I set the tone, most of the time, usually all the time, teammates follow, everybody follows. That’s what I’m trying to do here on the defensive and offensive end.”

With one year remaining in his collegiate career, Parrish aims to be a tone-setter once again for the Buckeyes and help the team inch toward some of the immaculate heights he and the Aztecs achieved during his two years in San Diego.
“That's one of the reasons why I came here,” Parrish said. “I looked at the team, looked at the coaching staff and the surrounding areas, everything like that. I feel like this is somewhere we can win at. I feel like they are here making this step. It's right here. We’ve just got to get over the hill right now. And I feel like this year will be the year.”
Parrish played his first two college seasons at Oakland, where a breakout sophomore campaign featuring 12.1 points, six rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game landed him the opportunity to link up with San Diego State.
The Aztecs have a sneakily robust basketball tradition, at least for a Mountain West school. They’ve been to the NCAA Tournament 11 of the past 15 seasons and made the Sweet 16 four times in that span alongside eight Mountain West regular-season conference titles and five league tournament championships.
There was nothing sneaky about their profile in Parrish’s first season, though. San Diego State made a run all the way to the 2023 NCAA Tournament championship game, where they lost to UConn 76-59. It was the first Final Four in the school’s history. The Aztecs followed that up with a Sweet 16 berth in 2023-24.
“I won a lot (there),” Parrish said. “So coming here, I'm trying to take some of the values I learned from winning and extend that here to this up-and-coming program with Diebler. So I'm excited. I'm excited about the team. I'm excited about the future.”
Adding transfers with winning backgrounds was a priority this offseason for Ohio State coach Jake Diebler. Meechie Johnson Jr. returns to Columbus after helping guide a complete turnaround at South Carolina. Rising sophomores and five-star talents Sean Stewart and Aaron Bradshaw transferred in from blueblood programs in Duke and Kentucky, respectfully.
