Here’s what we learned from Ohio State basketball’s Jake Diebler at Big Ten media day
Watch Ohio State’s Jake Diebler talk Bruce Thornton at Big Ten media day
Ohio State coach Jake Diebler talks about Bruce Thornton at Big Ten media day in Rosemont, Illinois, on Oct. 3, 2024.
ROSEMONT, Ill. – He took the stage first, leading a three-man Big Ten coaching entourage onto the makeshift television set.
Entering his first season as the Ohio State men’s basketball coach, Jake Diebler walked onto the risers ahead of Iowa coach Fran McCaffery and Northwestern coach Chris Collins. For a little more than 15 minutes, the three coaches sat for a panel discussion about their seasons, their jobs and, in Diebler’s case, his family.
The first question to the three was directed to Diebler: what’s it like now having a family of six? Diebler and his wife, Jordyn, welcomed a baby boy in early July, their fourth child.
“It’s been good,” Diebler said. “By number four you’re used to not sleeping as much. No, we’re blessed. Everybody is healthy. Our kids are having a great time. They’ve enjoyed being around the team and spending some time in the gym.”
It was an easy way to start a whirlwind of a day for Diebler and the Buckeyes inside the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. There was the four-person live chat, interviews with multiple national radio shows and dozens of quick, informal conversations caught in the hallways with fellow Big Ten coaches and players. It’s a quick business trip for the Buckeyes, who flew in Thursday morning and were slated to fly back home in the evening.
Ohio State, picked eighth in the unofficial official Big Ten preseason media poll conducted jointly by The Dispatch and The Indianapolis Star, is in some ways as much an unknown as anyone else in the newly expanded, 18-team conference.
Here’s what else Diebler talked about.
Bruce Thornton lauded for his work ethic
In the televised chat aired live on the conference’s network, Diebler sat with McCaffery on his right and Collins on his left. As each coach was invariably asked about his roster, Diebler got a question about third-year guard Bruce Thornton and the leadership he provides the Buckeyes.
“Bruce isn’t an every-day guy: he is an every-rep guy,” Diebler said. “Every single day in practice, doesn’t matter the drill. If you are going live, if you are not going live, he goes hard every time. To have that in your program, there’s so much value around that, and he sets the standard for us of what it means to work.”
Thornton is a two-time Ohio State captain and one of the team’s two player representatives at media day. He is joined by fifth-year guard Meechie Johnson Jr., a former Buckeye who transferred to South Carolina and played there for two years before returning for his final season.
“We’ve been intentional about who we’ve invited into our family,” Diebler said. “We have a group of great guys. Now we have to build that chemistry in between the lines.”

Buckeyes are healthy as practice continues
Illness has hit Ohio State’s early practice portions, but Diebler said the Buckeyes are navigating the start of the fall pretty well.
“(We’re) mostly healthy,” Diebler said. “We’ve had some sickness go through the program a little bit. In talking to other coaches, that seems to be going around, but for the most part we’re moving forward mostly healthy.”
This time last year, Ohio State was without freshmen Taison Chatman and Austin Parks as both dealt with preseason injuries. That missed time would hinder their development, affecting their ability to impact the Buckeyes when the season began.
This year, at this point, nobody is in a similar situation after a summer that saw multiple players miss time here and there with minor injuries.
“As of right now, we’re going to have everybody available and I think we’ll have some consistent time to build some chemistry with the whole team together,” Diebler said. “We didn’t have that this summer. We’re now at a point where we can scrimmage against each other and try some different lineups. We’re heading in the right direction.”
Diebler likes Ohio State’s backcourt depth
Thornton, a preseason first-team all-Big Ten pick, and Johnson, a second-team all-SEC pick at South Carolina last year, will anchor Ohio State’s backcourt and provide leadership for this year’s team.
While they will play important roles for the Buckeyes, Diebler said they are part of a deep backcourt he will be relying on.
“I’ve been impressed with how organic and natural that chemistry (between Thornton and Johnson) has seemed,” Diebler said. “That’s been the case honestly for our whole backcourt. We have a great deal of depth in our backcourt. Micah Parrish, Ques Glover, John Mobley. We’ve got depth that’s a real strength for us, and the chemistry within that group has been impressive.”
Ques Glover an early surprise
One of the final additions to the 2024-25 roster has proven to be among Diebler’s biggest pleasant surprises in the early going. Asked what has surprised him, Diebler pointed to the play of Glover, a sixth-year player who was added to the roster when Taison Chatman was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
In 99 career games, Glover has averaged 10.3 points while shooting 46.1% from the floor and 30.6% from 3-point range. He played two years at Florida, transferred to Samford for two more, transferred to BYU, left during the summer, transferred to Kansas State and then missed the 2023-24 season due to injury.
“I’ve been surprised with Ques Glover and his ability to score,” Diebler said.
Two other transfers have been impactful, Diebler said. Ohio State signed Kentucky’s Aaron Bradshaw and Duke’s Sean Stewart, two McDonald’s All-Americans in 2023 who played sparingly for their blue-blood programs before transferring.

“I also think as Aaron Bradshaw and Sean Stewart have been in our program now for some time, (with) their lack of experience I didn’t fully know how consistent they would be,” Diebler said. “I think they’re developing that consistency. Certainly two very talented players that will play together, but they’re growing in their consistency and I think that really helps the ceiling of our team.”
