The Ohio State Basketball team has two current commits in their 2024 recruiting class, but neither of them play in the front court.
Head coach Chris Holtmann is looking a big man and has narrowed the search to North Carolina’s Jayden Quaintance. The 6-foot, 9-inch, 230-pound center is a bit on the smaller side for the position, but that hasn’t stopped the Buckeyes from recruiting him for the spot.
The rankings don’t care much about his size either, as he’s the No. 3 center and 11th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Ohio State offered Quaintance is May and according to 24/7 High School Hoops, he will make an official visit on the weekend of September 9th.
2024 5⭐️ Jayden Quaintance will take an official visit to Ohio State beginning September 9th, a source tells me.
Quaintance has also scheduled official visits to Kentucky, Missouri and Cincinnati for this fall.

Currently Juni Mobley and Colin White are the two commits of the 2024 Ohio State class and the Buckeyes would love to add a big man with Quaintance clearly ranking high on its list.
