BOOM Oklahoma State transfer guard Isaac Likekele commits to Ohio State.
The Arlington, Texas, native entered the transfer portal on April 26, opting to use his additional year of eligibility outside of the Oklahoma State program despite staying onboard through a postseason ban that cut short the Cowboys’ 2021-2022 schedule.
Likekele was Oklahoma State’s fifth-leading scorer this past season, but led the team in assists per game and was second in rebounds. Likekele shot just 18.2 percent from the 3-point line, 43.7 percent from the field and 53.6 percent from the free-throw line this past year, but figures to be a defensive asset and Swiss army knife of sorts for the Buckeyes in 2022-23.
An All-Big 12 honorable mention as both a sophomore and junior, Likekele is the only player in Oklahoma State history to have accrued at least 1,000 points, 600 rebounds and 400 assists. Having drawn comparisons to Draymond Green and Jae’Sean Tate due to his frame and do-it-all skill set on the hardwood, Likekele can run the point for the Buckeyes if called upon to do so, but could also play as big as the power forward position in a potential four-guard lineup for Ohio State next season.
Likekele is the third guard Ohio State has landed out of the transfer portal this offseason, joining Wright State transfer
