Ohio State is in the process of signing the first recruiting class of the Jake Diebler era. The first-year Buckeyes coach has overseen a roster overhaul during the offseason, bringing in nine new players for the 2024-25 season including a three-man freshman class.
November 13 marks the opening of the early signing period for men’s college basketball. Ohio State has a two-man 2025 recruiting class featuring two four-star prospects: Dorian Jones and A’mare Bynum.
The two are likely to be the only ones signing with Ohio State during the early period, which lasts until Nov. 20. After that, players cannot sign with a Division I school until the spring, when they have from April 16-May 21.
It’s unclear if Ohio State will then add anyone else in its 2025 class other than Bynum and Jones.
