With the season-ending injury to Ohio State men’s basketball guard Taison Chatmam, the Buckeyes are a bit light at the position heading into the season.
New head coach [autotag]Jake Diebler[/autotag] has done a great job working the transfer portal, and now he looks to be doing it again. According to a report by The Portal Report, Ohio State has made contact with Toledo’s [autotag]Tyler Cochran[/autotag], who had committed to Oregon State, but has reopened the process.
Although the Illinois native has jumped around to three schools (Northern Illinois, Ball State and Toledo), it hasn’t been due to production. In his collegiate career, Cochran has shot 47.3% from the field, and 34% from beyond the arc.

Multiple programs have done the same as Ohio State, but clearly the need is there for the Buckeyes and proximity could play in their favor with 6-foot, 2-inch, 225-pound Cochran.
