Although Ohio State basketball does not yet have a commitment for its 2025 recruiting class, that doesn’t mean the Buckeyes recruiting momentum has stopped.
Typically, when a new coach arrives, in this case Jake Diebler, a team sees a jump with prospects. In Ohio State’s situation, it was more in the transfer portal, but it did receive a commitment from 2026 in-state star point guard Marcus Johnson.
Ohio State once again didn’t have to go far for one of its top recruiting targets, as Cleveland’s [autotag]Dorian Jones[/autotag] is among the nation’s best, ranking as the No. 72 overall prospect and 12th shooting guard. He narrowed his list to four schools — Missouri, Michigan, Rutgers and the Buckeyes.
