I cannot vouch for his basketball playing skills but I can tell you from some very good friends I have who are associated with Moeller that he is an extremely good kid and will fit right in with the program. Also, Thad does a pretty thorough background check even on walk ons.

J.J. Grycko, a 6-foot-9 inside player who played on Moeller's Division I state basketball title team in 2007, will join Ohio State as a walk-on this coming season.
Grycko attended the Air Force Academy Prep School this past season. Moeller coach Carl Kremer said via e-mail that Grycko decided to transfer, and that Grycko is now taking pre-med classes at OSU and will be a basketball walk-on.
Grycko was a regular on the 2006-07 Moeller state title team, when he averaged 4.1 points a game as a Crusaders senior.

JJ Grycko

I hear he is now 6' 10" and 220 lbs. (could use a little more weight). But I have heard from people who know him say he is a great kid and an excellent defensive player. Being a stater from Cincinnati Moeller's State Champ team, he will be a good addition to the Buckeyes:osu:. How good will he be in say...3-4 years?

I went to high school with a kid that started out at OSU just like Grycko. He played on a great H.S. team and only averaged a few points a game and was a decent player. He was also an excellent student and was a walk-on as a freshman. His senior year, there was an extra scholarship and O'Brein gave it to him for all of his contributions. In his 4 years, he probably played a total of 40 minutes but he was a serviceable practice player and always a member of the team. I'd imagine that Grycko will probably follow that same path.
