  • Kam Mercer, 2028 (unofficial)
A five-star prospect according to ESPN, Mercer is from Cincinnati and would have played for Winton Woods but transferred to Huntington (West Virginia) Prep for his freshman year. Now, he will play for the Overtime Elite program in Atlanta while preparing for college. The Buckeyes offered before he began playing prep basketball.

A 6-5, 185-pound sophomore, Mercer is the No. 5 player in his class and the No. 3 small forward in the country according to ESPN. He also visited Ohio State on Aug. 1, the first day coaches could host him on a visit.

I hoop with a guy who coached Kam when he was younger in AAU. He really cares about him, says he is a great person, is respectful and works hard. Said he didn't then, and maybe still doesn't yet have, a consistent jumper. Having watched some of his games this season, I would agree with that assessment. Kam didn't play very well in the state title game (but he was probably drawing the opposing team's best defenders). We will see if he lives up to his lofty ranking in college and beyond. And if he does play well right away, it's not like the school where you start out is the school you stay with these days anyway.

I kinda had a hunch. Will see if it sticks but the new staff went all in here and made him their priority target.

Good call on your hunch. Hes a massive get, even bigger than Abaev last year. And id dare say by a lot, because hes a local kid.

i saw Kam play several times this season(notably the Lakota west game) and i came away many times thinking, with how highly rated he is, he plays too timid. He should’ve been in attack mode all season. His Size and athleticism alone should’ve gotten him 23-25pts/gm and 5rebs. Tyson from Lakota West was a better player imo. Would love to see them both stay home
