Ohio State Basketball Losing Key Coach, Players

0:00On April 29th, Ohio State Buckeye's basketball facing more off-season shakeups after a solid season that got them back to the NCAA tournament for the first time undercoach Jake Dibler. Now they're losing strength and conditioning coach, Quadrian Banks, who's been with the team since 2017 during the Chris Holtman days. On top of that, Dibler already has to replace top assistant Joel Justus, who bolted for Vanderbilt. The roster's hit, too, was starting point guard Bruce Thornin and center Kristoff Tilly heading out the door, leaving plenty of gaps to fill. Banks shared some heartfelt words about his time there, thanking the players, staff, and cheer squad for the past eight-plus years. It's clear the program meant a lot to him and his family. His background's impressive, high-worked in the NFL as assistant strength coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013 to 2016, then a stint with the Indianapolis Colts. Before Ohio State, he coached at spots like Richmond, Gardner Webb, Ole Miss, and Hampton.
