The Jake Diebler touch at Ohio State

In an interview with The Dispatch, Sean Stewart laid out the long-standing relationship that he shared with Buckeyes coach Jake Diebler when he was the lead recruiter last year.

“Me and Diebler picked up our previous vibe from the first time recruiting me,” Stewart said. “He was the lead recruiter when I was in high school. We talked almost every day leading up to my decision day, so to have that call when he called me the first day when I entered the portal, it was exciting to talk to him again," Stewart said.

"He kept reiterating how crazy it was that this came full circle that he recruited me as an assistant coach and now he’s a head coach. It’s a lot of chemistry since the first day he started recruiting me.”

Diebler is an Ohio local and he had previously revealed that getting the Buckeyes coaching job was a lifelong dream come true for him.

Michael Stewart, the former Duke Blue Devils forward's father also pointed out in an interview with "Eleven Warriors" as to how crucial Diebler's plan for his son's development was in pushing the needle towards Ohio State and away from Georgetown and Cincinnati.

"He laid out a comprehensive plan for how he can help Sean achieve some of his basketball goals," Michael Stewart said. "I think that with the other guys they have on the team, there's an immediate fit. There's a need. And I think Sean can slide in at any capacity and help Ohio State achieve some of their goals."

With his recruiting background, coach Jake Diebler could likely be the force that will lure elite student-athletes to play for the Buckeyes.
