Guard Taison Chatman returning to Ohio State for sophomore season
Video: Ohio State coach Jake Diebler after an NIT loss to Georgia
Ohio State coach Jake Diebler’s full press conference after an NIT loss to Georgia on March 26, 2024.
Taison Chatman is returning to Ohio State for his second season.
The highest-rated member of the 2023 recruiting class for the Buckeyes, Chatman battled early injuries that slowed his development but earned a role down the stretch under Jake Diebler. A 6-4, 175-pound guard, Chatman appeared in 17 games including nine of the final 11 with Diebler as coach and had 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists.
Through the first 25 games, Chatman totaled 25:46 of playing time under Chris Holtmann. In the final 11 games, a fully healthy Chatman was on the floor for 45:10.
“He’s been really good in his minutes,” Diebler said during Ohio State’s NIT run. “You can see we’ve tried to give him an additional part of the rotation. He’s earned that. He’s a good player. There’s no question about it.”
Chatman missed the entire preseason and much of the summer with a knee injury that ultimately required surgery as the team began fall camp. He missed the first four games, made his season debut in a win against Alabama on Nov. 24 and played sporadically before another injury sidelined him for several more games during the preseason.
A Minneapolis native, he scored his first career points in a Feb. 22 game at Minnesota.

In the 247Sports.com rankings, Chatman finished as the No. 1 player in Minnesota, the No. 7 combo guard in the country and the overall No. 33 national recruit in the 2023 class. As a senior, he helped Minneapolis Totino-Grace to a state championship while dealing with an injury that limited him at the beginning of the season.
Ohio State currently has three roster spots available for 2024-25.
