BOOM! Ohio State basketball gets commitment from top 50 player

While the Ohio State football team is preparing to open Big Ten play this week, the Buckeye basketball team got some good news late Tuesday evening. Four-star combo guard Taison Chatman has committed to Chris Holtmann and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Chatman who hails from the state of Minnesota is a top 50 player and the No. 1 player from the land of 10,000 lakes according to 247Sports composite rankings. Ohio State beat out the likes of Kansas, UConn, Xavier, and Baylor to earn the commitment from Chatman.

Chatman’s pledge came shortly after long-time commit George Washington III decided to back away from his commitment to OSU in early September. There was speculation that Bronny James may commit to the Buckeyes after what seemed to be a great visit during the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame game. However, there has been no word from the James camp at this point.

Chatman’s commitment gives Holtmann and the Buckeyes three top-50 players. With four players committed, Ohio State now has the No. 5 ranked class in 2023 and the No. 2 class in the Big Ten behind only Michigan State.
