Ohio State dishes out new 2025 basketball offer, prep for busy summer of camps and visits

The Buckeyes look to have another loaded summer full of recruiting on the agenda.
With school getting out soon for high school prospects across the country, Ohio State’s coaching staff is gearing up for another busy summer on the recruiting front. Spending the last several weeks out on the road paying visits to long-time priorities and new players as well, we’ve seen how much effort has gone into these current and upcoming classes, which bodes well for the Buckeyes overall.
As the staff spends more time in Columbus during the summer months, it’s camps and visits that will take up much of their time. Big recruiting weekends are already on the schedule with several top players Ohio State is trying to land, and surely the chance to host players for one-day camps will bring up a handful of new names as well.
Last summer was an effective one for the Buckeyes for the 2024 class, and this year should be no different. Knowing this haul can see upwards of 25-plus players, Ohio State has an awesome start so far, but there’s plenty more to be done in order to be satisfied. Odds are the list of names flocking to campus in the coming weeks does nothing but continue to grow.
Most of the time when Ohio State sends an offer out to prospective player, they do so based on what they’ve already seen on film. Sure, some offers are common sense and don’t need much evaluation, but the Buckeyes do their due diligence and have a staff dedicated to watching countless hours of film so they can make a call on whether to offer a certain athlete or not.
That said, when the Buckeyes believe they need a second look, camp invites are often sent out, giving a player the opportunity to work out for the staff and “earn” the offer from Ohio State. Seen before in cases with former Buckeyes like Terry McLaurin, this staff doesn’t hand out anything for free, but camp performances many times can lead to bigger things.
Top players just want to compete, and doing so in front of Ohio State’s staff can further boost their stock. Whatever the scenario, the Buckeyes are going to have tons of kids in front of them during their camp dates, and that’s a great thing for the Buckeyes pursuit of current targets and even potential prospects as well.
Looking at some of the guys already making plans to camp with Ohio State, on Thursday Jabari Mack shared some of his upcoming summer plans, and made sure to include the Buckeyes. The No. 59 player nationally and seventh-best receiver in the 2026 class per the 247Sports Composite, Mack is another top player at the position Brian Hartline will look to coach up, and with a loaded offer list to his name already, it won’t be much of a surprise to see the Buckeyes get in the mix in the near future.
The 6-foot, 190 pound athlete currently holds offers from the likes of Florida State, LSU, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, and a host of others, but as it’s been seen time and time again, top recruits at this position tend to have Ohio State somewhere in the mix if not right at the top of their minds.
Moving back inside of the Ohio state lines, Cincinnati, Ohio native Drayden Pavey will also look to camp with the Buckeyes this coming summer, as his plans include a trip on June 5. Coming from a school the staff knows well and produces college football talent annually, Ohio State is no stranger to Pavey, and will love to see him perform on campus as he preps for a strong senior campaign.
A 6-foot-3, 305 pound defensive lineman, Pavey is currently the No. 96 DL in the country per the 247Sports Composite. Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin, and others have already entered his recruitment, but Ohio State has yet to offer, which makes this a potential case of Pavey camping to try and receive one from his in-state blue blood program.
The Buckeyes have two guys already committed on their defensive line for the 2025 class, but still need to work on the interior. A strong performance and senior campaign may just lead to Pavey having a shot.
A 6-foot-5, 180 pound shooting guard, Mullins is currently the No. 108 player nationally and 13th best player at his position per the 247Sports Composite. Holding offers from the likes of Creighton, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Notre Dame and Stanford, the Buckeyes now offering allow them to try and make up some ground.
An impressive kid academically looking at the schools he has heard from, head coach Jake Diebler wants to surround himself with full-package type of guys. Being close in distance doesn’t hurt either, but now the next step will be getting him to campus.
