Ohio State's men's basketball team has a potential roster spot available as fall classes approach. Christoph Tilly, a former center who played at Ohio State last season, may be considered for rejoining the Buckeyes. Tilly gained an additional year of eligibility following a recent legal ruling concerning college athletes. If Tilly returns, he would fill a significant gap at the center position, where Ohio State currently lacks depth and experience. As of now, there is no agreement to bring Tilly back, but options for the center spot are limited.
- •Tilly has one year of eligibility after a recent court ruling.
- •Ohio State's roster has one open spot as classes start next week.
- •Tilly averaged 11 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season.
- •The center position is currently uncertain, with few options available.
- •There is no formal agreement between Tilly and Ohio State at this time.
