Christoph Tilly Transfers from Santa Clara to Ohio State

Christoph Tilly, a 7-foot center from Santa Clara, has committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes for his final year of college basketball, marking Ohio State's second transfer addition this offseason after former Indiana guard Gabe Cupps. Tilly had a standout season for the Broncos, averaging 12.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, and earned second-team All-West Coast Conference honors. His strong performance in the transfer portal, where he was ranked as the seventh-best center available, led to swift recruitment from Ohio State's coaching staff. He is expected to fill a critical gap in Ohio State's frontcourt following the departures of Aaron Bradshaw and Austin Parks. Tilly's efficiency as a scorer, particularly around the rim, is anticipated to enhance the Buckeyes' production next season. Ohio State is reportedly looking to add more players to bolster their roster further.
