Ohio State basketball commit Colin White wins huge honor

Two in-a-row heading to Columbus. Congrats Colin!

There hasn’t been a lack of news for the Ohio State men’s basketball program over the last month and-a-half.

Out as head coach was Chris Holtmann, while interim Jake Diebler showed enough over the course of his first 8 games to be elevated to take the job. The Buckeyes narrowly missed getting an at-large NCAA Tournament bid, having to settle for a NIT No. 2 seed, winning their game against Cornell on Tuesday night.

This time the news happened away from Columbus, as Ottawa-Glandorf wing and Ohio State commit, [autotag]Colin White[/autotag], was named Ohio Mr. Basketball for the 2024 season. That makes it back-to-back winners who will head to play for the Buckeyes as freshman forward Devin Royal won the award last year.

White signed with Ohio State in November, and has reaffirmed his pledge to play in his home state. The 6-foot, 6-inch, 180-pound prospect is ranked as the No. 42 small forward and 184th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Ohio State basketball adds in-state 2024 wing

The Buckeyes keep the in-state wing home #GoBucks

[autotag]Ohio State basketball[/autotag] had been looking for another player to join its lone 2024 commit, Juni Mobley, and found one: in-state wing [autotag]Colin White[/autotag].

The Ottawa-Glandorf star stands 6 feet, 6 inches and weighs 180 pounds. He can play either shooting guard or small forward. He is considered one of the best players in the state and a very good one nationally. The 247Sports composite has White ranked No. 26 among small forwards and the 115th overall in the 2024 recruiting class.

Head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag] and his staff recently offered White a scholarship after he made significant progress during the AAU season.

White has a good shooting touch and is a solid finisher around the rim.

There has been considerable buzz around commitments for the football program, but Holtmann is bringing in some pretty good groceries on the hardcourt as well.

Ohio State basketball offers in-state 2024 wing

The Buckeyes offer an in-state prospect #GoBucks

It may have seemed like Ohio State basketball was looking outside the state to add to its 2024 recruiting class, but after Thursday night, that might not be the case.

Head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag] and assistant [autotag]Jake Diebler[/autotag] were on a Zoom meeting with Ohio wing [autotag]Colin White,[/autotag] and the conversation resulted in a scholarship offer.

White stands 6 feet, 6 inches and weighs 180 pounds. He held offers from West Virginia, Butler, Cincinnati and Stanford along with a few other mid-major programs. On the 247Sports composite, White is the No. 32 small forward and No. 152 overall recruit in the country. OSU has one commitment for the 2024 class, point guard Juni Mobley.

White is a top-five prospect in the state; the other four are already committed to other programs.
