The Ohio State men’s basketball team is also making headlines as it is set to host two of the nation’s top recruits in the 2025 class.
Ohio State has had a busy summer. The team has been hard at work hitting the recruiting trail and hosting recruits on campus for both official and unofficial visits, all while holding team practices with the current roster of Buckeyes ahead of a season with lofty expectations.
The hard work has paid off, as Ohio State sits atop the 247Sports Class rankings for the 2025 class with 24 verbal commitments. The Buckeyes were also picked to finish first in the Big Ten for the upcoming season by Cleveland.com. Ohio State was the overwhelming pick with 21 first place votes, with newcomer Oregon predicted to finish in second with six votes.
All this being said, things have slowed down a bit for the Buckeyes when it comes to recruiting. This is understandable as the upcoming season quickly approaches. However, that does not mean the Buckeyes are not making headlines.
Ohio State received good news Monday as 247Sports Ohio State insider Bill Kurelic placed a Crystal Ball prediction in favor of the Buckeyes for 2026 four-star corner back Victor Singleton (Toledo, OH / Central Catholic). Singleton visited with Ohio State back in June for a summer camp, and impressed the coaching staff enough to leave with an official scholarship offer.
Singleton is also no stranger to Ohio State, as he is one of the top recruits from Ohio. Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff has made it a priority to keep the state’s best talents at home, and Singleton fits that prototype perfectly.
The Buckeyes are not alone in their pursuit of Singleton either, and a commitment from him is not a guarantee with a lot of his recruitment still in play. Singleton holds offers from other in-state schools like Akron, Toledo, Cincinnati and Kent State, but he is also garnering national attention. He holds offers from the likes of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan State, Missouri, Penn State, Purdue, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Ohio State will need to get him back on campus to secure a commitment from him, and based off of how quick the relationship between he and the coaching staff has taken off, this shouldn’t be difficult to pull off — especially considering his close proximity.
Singleton is the No. 112 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings for the 2026 class, and is also the No. 10 CB. He is the No. 3 recruit from Ohio.
Jake Diebler and the Ohio State men’s basketball team have been busy this offseason as well, adding to the roster using both the transfer portal and traditional recruiting. The Buckeyes have recently been playing host to a handful of the nation’s top prospects, and the work is already paying dividends.
Ohio State earned its first commitment in the 2025 earlier this month when four-star shooting guard Dorian Jones pledged to the Buckeyes. But the program is not finished there. Diebler and the staff will continue to host recruits, and on Monday they learned they will soon host two blue-chip prospects from Missouri.
Both four-star combo guard Davion Hannah (Branson, MO / Link Academy) and four-star center John Clark will soon take an official visit with the Buckeyes.
The two teammates were offered by the Buckeyes earlier this summer, with Clark receiving his scholarship offer in May and Hannah receiving his in June. The duo and Ohio State have kept in contact, and the relationship they have built with the coaching staff is strong enough for them to decide to use an official visit on them.
Neither Hannah nor Clark have mentioned being a package deal, but the only finalist the two share is Ohio State, and that is something that could potentially work in favor of the Buckeyes.
Hannah is the No. 29 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and the No. 4 combo guard. He is also the No. 3 player from Missouri. Clark is the No. 46 overall prospect and No. 5 center. He is the No. 6 player from Missouri.
