On episode 201 of the Bucketheads Podcast, Justin and Connor are back to discuss the Ohio State men’s basketball transfer portal signees so far and the outlook moving forward.

First of all, the Buckeyes signed guard Justin Pippen from California and center Andrija Jelavic from Kentucky. While both of these guys are decent players, they are not needle movers like Rob Wright and Jalen Haralson. Is that a problem, or do these guys plus the retained roster make a solid team?

Also, who should the Buckeyes target moving forward to fill out the roster? And we answer some social media questions to close the episode.
