Coming into the season, Ogbole was the projected starting center for the new look Scarlet Knights as he was one of three returning players from last year's roster. Ogbole would go on to start the first 15 games of the season before being moved to the bench in favor of Four-Star true freshman Lathan Sommerville over the past four games.
Through 19 games played this season, Ogbole was averaging 3.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game. Arguably his best game this year came against Ohio State back on December 7th, where he finished with 10pts on 4-of-5 shooting to go along with five rebounds and two assists.
Ogbole still has one year of eligibility remaining and could return to the Scarlet Knights next season/
