Reports out of Florida have the No. 25 recruit of the 2025 class heading to Columbus
The transfer portal closed for NCAA women’s basketball players on April 23 and it's been quiet for Ohio State women’s basketball since April 15, when Boston College guard T’Yana Todd committed to the Buckeyes. On Tuesday, that changed when On3 sports reported that redshirt freshman guard/forward Kylee Kitts chose the Buckeyes.
Originally the No. 25 prospect in the 2025 class, Kitts reclassified as a member of the 2024 class. Kitts is the younger sister of South Carolina Gamecocks post player Chloe Kitts, who won a national championship with head coach Dawn Staley in 2024.
Ohio State’s new forward brings needed height to the program at 6-foot-4, helping fill the void left by graduates Taylor Thierry, Ajae Petty and now Ole Miss forward Cotie McMahon. Like Thierry, Kitts is a hybrid guard/forward who can play both inside and out. The only question surrounding Kitts is how she will adjust to the full court press style of head coach Kevin McGuff’s system.
Now the guard/forward is the likely name to play alongside sophomore center Elsa Lemmilä, who came on strong late in the 2024-25 season for Ohio State. Lemmilä averaged 4.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, plus she led the team with 60 blocks.
Kitts is a big who does not park in the post. Instead, Kitts runs the floor, finds open teammates and has no problem going to the basket on her own. Kitts led Faith Christian with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks in a State Championship victory. In her final season, at the Hagerty School, Kitts averaged 24.2 points, 14.5 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Initially, Kitts was a 2025 recruit but opted to join the college ranks early and committed to the Florida Gators. However, Kitts did not play in the regular season and earned a redshirt season, giving the Buckeyes full eligibility, should Kitts stay four years.
On April 8, Kitts announced her move to the transfer portal and included a do no communicate tag upon entry. Kitts visited NC State and other power conference schools before she visited with the Buckeyes on April 21 and 22.
McGuff’s program now has 10 players on its roster with the addition of Kitts, although neither the team nor Kitts has publicly announced the commitment.
