At some point Meechie and Malaki are gonna be on the court together, and at some point both will be acclimated to high major college basketball, and it's at that point that our backcourt is gonna own.

• Top-30 prospect Malaki Branham commits to Ohio State

Top-30 prospect Malaki Branham committed to Ohio State on Wednesday, giving Chris Holtmann and the Buckeyes their third ESPN 100 prospect in the 2021 class.

Branham chose Ohio State over Alabama, Baylor, Louisville, Missouri, Marquette and Xavier. The Columbus, Ohio, native had officially visited Ohio State, but also took unofficial trips to Louisville and Xavier.

"I chose them because they didn't recruit me like an in-state kid. They were slightly annoying, in a good way," Branham told ESPN. "They never stopped calling and never got too comfortable. They've shown me how I can flourish in their system with my versatility at the guard position. They also believe in my abilities at the highest level."

Q&A: St. Vincent-St. Mary Coach Dru Joyce Explains What Malaki Branham Brings To Ohio State

Where does Branham fit on the court at the next level to maximize his game?

Joyce: He's a two-guard and hopefully will grow into a combo. A two-one, not a one-two. A two-guard who can slide over and give you a few minutes at the one in a situation, go into that and create.

Welcome to the Buckeye Family, Malaki!

 

[DZ83CK]

Malaki has a Malcolm Brogdon-like body. If he can eventually develop into the kind of shooter that Brogdon is, he will go a long way.
