The two former Ohio State five -star perspectives added via the transfer portal during the first Jake Diebler season disappeared.
Stronger Sean Stewart, who started 30 games at the Center for the Buckeyes in 2024-25, entered the transfer portal, confirmed a spokesperson for Ohio State Eleven warriors.
Stewart’s decision comes a few hours before the official closure of the portal at midnight on Wednesday. The players have until this deadline to inform their old teams of their decision, but do not have a deadline to select a new team.
Stewart was transferred to Ohio State before the 2024-25 season after spending his first year in Duke. He was a five -star hope in the recruitment class of 2023. He scored 5.7 points with 5.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game during his second year with the Buckeyes.
While Stewart was the most efficient rebounder and interior defender of Buckeyes in 2024-25, accumulating 12.5 rebounds and 2 shots blocked by 40 minutes, his big problem often prevented him from making significant impacts. Stewart has an average of 3.4 faults per game and has committed a fault on seven games.
The Aaron Bradshaw center, also a five -star prospect of the 2023 class which was transferred from Kentucky to Ohio State last year, entered the portal on April 1. Stronger Evan Mahaffey, Austin Parks Center and Guard Meechie Johnson Jr., another acquisition of Portal 2024, joined him in his departure from Columbus for Portal. Each of the five additions of the portal to Diebler from 2024 was only one for the Buckeyes while the Guards Micah Parrish and Ques Glover both exhausted their eligibility in 2024-25.
The Buckeyes have so far added the former goalkeeper of the Indiana Gabe Capps, the former center of Santa Clara Christoph Tilly and the former striker of the state of Wright Brandon Noel of the Portal. With the departure of Stewart, the Ohio State will probably try to recover at least two additional transfers.
Tilly is to replace Stewart at the Buckeyes departure training center for the second season of Diebler. The second year student Ivan Njegovan and the new recruit A’mare bynum join him on the list of Ohio State at the post.
