Ohio State basketball is still searching for players that will fit well with their lone current 2024 commit, point guard Juni Mobley.
Head coach Chris Holtmann is looking for versatile wings and they might have found a match in Wisconsin small forward Kon Knueppel. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 205 forward is among the best players in the country, the 12th best at his position and 33rd nationally according to the 247Sports composite.
In a report by 247Sports Travis Branham, Knueppel told him that Ohio State is one of two visits that he will make in the month of June, along with Louisville.

▫️ 6.2 REBS
▫️ 50-98 FG (51%)
▫️ 23-48 3PT (47.9%)
▫️ 18-22 FT (81.8%)#EYBL2023 pic.twitter.com/CaDNgVrtIR— EliteYouthBasketball (@NikeEYB) May 29, 2023
Knueppel has really taken a step foward during the AAU season, and would be a massive recruiting win for the Buckeyes if he commits.
