The Ohio State basketball program is starting to get a lot of attention from high school recruits, and the latest is a four-star guard out of La Porte, Indiana. At 6-foot, 1-inch, and ranked as the No. 9 combo guard and 55th overall prospect in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Joshua Tyson named Ohio State in his final six schools on Monday.
Also included in those six schools were Cincinnati, Clemson, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, and Xavier. There does not appear to be a leader in the race, and no timetable is available for a commitment, but the Buckeyes seem to be clearly making an impression.
The news comes just days after top-ten center in the 2027 class, Jaydn Jenkins, also had Ohio State as one of the schools he is considering, naming the Buckeyes in his top five. There are all kinds of disclaimers with this, of course. It’s still way too early to get excited, and OSU is a part of a handful of teams, all with good pedigrees, so the competition will be fierce.
However, as more news becomes available, we’ll bring it to you.
