It may have seemed like Ohio State basketball was looking outside the state to add to its 2024 recruiting class, but after Thursday night, that might not be the case.
Head coach Chris Holtmann and assistant Jake Diebler were on a Zoom meeting with Ohio wing Colin White, and the conversation resulted in a scholarship offer.
White stands 6 feet, 6 inches and weighs 180 pounds. He held offers from West Virginia, Butler, Cincinnati and Stanford along with a few other mid-major programs. On the 247Sports composite, White is the No. 32 small forward and No. 152 overall recruit in the country. OSU has one commitment for the 2024 class, point guard Juni Mobley.
After a great zoom call with @ChrisHoltmann, @JakeDiebler, and the rest of the staff. I am excited and blessed to receive an offer from THE Ohio State University. A huge thanks to the whole staff for recruiting me! @IndianaElite @TysonMac05 pic.twitter.com/MHU2XiMW5E

White is a top-five prospect in the state; the other four are already committed to other programs.
