Ohio State Buckeyes Land Top Recruit Dorian Jones
![Ohio State Buckeyes Land Top Recruit Dorian Jones](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4962,h_2791,x_0,y_508/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/buckeyes_now/01j1qzpq5kq3h8vqyba4.jpg)
The Ohio State Buckeyes have landed four-star recruit Dorian Jones, a source told 247 Sports.
Jones will be staying local with his decision to join the Buckeyes.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard played his high-school basketball at Richmond Heights and was the No. 2-ranked player in Ohio.
“They were the first program to start recruiting me when I was a freshman,” Jones recently said of Ohio State. “They have been there since day one. They talk about building their program around me.”
Jones also had offers from the likes of Syracuse, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois and Michigan, but ultimately chose to stay home.
The Buckeyes are trying to recover after missing the NCAA Tournament each of the last two years.
Ohio State got off to a 14-11 start this past season, resulting in the firing of head coach Chris Holtmann. Jake Diebler took the reins the rest of the way and went a respectable 8-3.
It certainly represented a better campaign for the Buckeyes than 2022-23, when they went just 16-19. That marks Ohio State’s only losing record since going 14-16 in 2003-04.
Since 2006, the Buckeyes have made the Big Dance 13 times, with their deepest run coming in 2011-12 when Jared Sullinger led the squad all the way to the Final Four before losing to Kansas.
Ohio State has not made it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament in any of its last four appearances.
We’ll see if Jones and a potentially tantalizing recruiting class overall can help bring Buckeyes basketball back to prominence.

Ohio State Buckeyes Key 2025 Defensive Target Sets Commitment Date
![Ohio State Buckeyes Key 2025 Defensive Target Sets Commitment Date](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_6207,h_3491,x_0,y_176/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/buckeyes_now/01j1pdtxxj75ef9wt81v.jpg)
The Ohio State Buckeyes are still hoping to gain a commitment from a key pass-rusher target in the 2025 recruiting class.
While the Buckeyes have already earned the No. 1 ranking by many for their 2025 class, they are still looking to get better. Damien Shanklin is a name that they are still waiting to get a decision from.
Shanklin has now announced when he will announce his commitment.
Ohio State will not have to wait much longer. Shanklin has stated that he will be making his commitment announcement on July 5th.
I will be committing on Instagram live
July 5th @5:30 EST
IG: Damegotfanz_
— Damien “Dame” Shanklin (@D_shanklin42) June 30, 2024
Standing in at 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds, the four-star edge rusher from Warren Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana has tremendous potential. He could end up developing into a legitimate NFL talent if he reaches his ceiling.
While the Buckeyes feel that they have a good shot at landing a commitment from Shanklin and are in his top three final schools, the other two schools involved are massive threats.
He is considering offers from both Alabama and LSU. Shanklin is picking from three legitimate teams that could offer him a chance to compete for a National Championship and give him a good chance to develop into an NFL talent.
All of that being said, it will be interesting to see what decisions Shanklin makes. He would be a great addition to the Ohio State recruiting class.
Make sure to stay tuned on July 5th at 5:30 p.m. EST. All Buckeyes fans are going to be waiting anxiously to see what the young pass-rusher decides.
