5-Star Power Forward Caleb Wilson Keeps Ohio State In His List Of 12 Schools​

The star 2025 prospect is now down to 12 schools. The Ohio State Buckeyes are in contention for the 6'9" forward.





According to On3's recruiting prediction machine, the Auburn Tigers are the current favorite to get a commitment from Wilson at a 24.1 percent chance. One thing is for sure, the Buckeyes find themselves up against a bunch of college basketball blue bloods in Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina in Wilson's top 12.

Jake Diebler and his staff have found some recent success through the transfer portal in shaping this coming season's team. They are also drawing lots of interest from prospects as well. A player like Wilson committing to the Buckeyes would be a huge achievement early on in Diebler's young head coaching career.

Well, Diebs seems to be making an impact on the Ohio born/bred basketball players. Pretty certain he won't get 'em all, but getting a few would be very nice.

From Land-Grant Holy Land:

Football Saturdays aren’t only for hosting football recruits. Ohio State basketball also used the home game to its advantage, hosting a pair of talented 2025 prospects in Niko Bundalo and Davion Hannah. Bundalo, a 6-foot-10 power forward, is the No. 7 PF and No. 26 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite, making the trek all the way from California. Hannah, a 6-foot-5 guard, is the No. 7 SG and No. 31 player nationally per the 247Sports Composite, hailing out of Missouri.

Jake Diebler, Ohio State building momentum in recruitment of Darryn Peterson, Niko Bundalo​

Could Ohio State pull off a massive 1-2 combo of commitments before the November signing period?

Could Ohio State and new head coach Jake Diebler send shockwaves across the country by landing two Ohio-born five-star recruits in Darryn Peterson and Niko Bundalo? We’ll know the answer to that question over the next five weeks or so, but right now the Buckeyes appear to be in a good spot with each of the five-star players in the 2025 class.

Not certain on the over/under on catching Darryn and Niko for the Buckeyes, but believe that Diebs has a punchers chance. Hopefully these 'blue-blood' teams can be overcome by our 'scarlet-blooded' team, and some of the NIL cash spills over to the basketball team. Certainly not an expert, and have no clue how the Buckeyes will perform this year, but hopefully, this team will be competitive, and show some rising stars to these two Ohio prospects. And certainly Dieb's youthful enthusiasm wins them over. Go Bucks!

Just sayin':

1) OK, I googled this and have no idea how accurate it is.
What is the NIL budget for Syracuse basketball?
Syracuse, Belzer said, has about a $2 million NIL budget for men's basketball, a figure he said ranks in the middle of the ACC pack.

2) Even though the family is (probably....) very well off, I'll say the only chance any school other than Syracuse has is to offer significantly more NIL money than Syracuse offers and that may not even get him. It was reported that his father donated $3M to Syracuse basketball towards a new practice facility which is named after him.
