Ohio State basketball is set to host a Zoom call with Kansas State transfer guard Abdi Bashir as they work to finalize their roster. Bashir averaged 13.2 points and shot 44.4% from three-point range last season.
Ohio State basketball is not done putting its roster together for next year.
The Buckeyes are set to meet with Kansas State transfer guard Abdi Bashir as the Buckeyes continue to reshape their roster through the transfer portal.
Bashir, a Kansas State transfer, is one of the most polished guards in the transfer portal, coming off of a season where he averaged 13.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists for Kansas State this past season while shooting 44.4% from the 3-point stripe. The 6-foot-7 guard entered the transfer portal with one year left of eligibility.
Bashir began his college career at Monmouth, where he quickly established himself as a perimeter threat and major offensive option. Over two seasons with the Hawks, he scored nearly 900 career points and shot 38.4% from beyond the arc, earning first-team All-CAA honors in 2024-25 after averaging 20.1 points per game.
Ohio State has already made early moves in the portal. Former Cal and Michigan guard Justin Pippen and former Kentucky forward Andrija JelaviÄ both committed to the Buckeyes last week, giving coach Jake Diebler help in the backcourt and frontcourt as he works to rebuild a roster that has already seen several departures.
After losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament to TCU and then watching arch-rival Michigan win the national championship, coach Jake Diebler is being aggressive in roster construction to get the Buckeyes back atop the Big Ten conference.
