The Ohio State basketball team continues to make noise among recruits this offseason. Last week we told you about Jalen Shelley putting Ohio State in his top-five, and now another top-50 prospect has also included the Buckeyes on his shortlist.
Aiden Sherrell is the No. 6 center in the 2024 class according to 247Sports composite rankings. He stands at 6-foot, 10-inches, and hails from Norcross, Georgia, but currently lives in Napa, California where he attends Prolific Prep.
The scouting report from 247Sports Adam Finkelstein is very promising.
“Sherrell is one of the most naturally talented big men in the class with a versatile collection of tools,” says Finkelstein. “First, he’s an athletic big man who is approaching seven feet and yet is a fluid mover, runner, and explosive leaper. He can change ends, catch lobs well above the rim, hammer big dunks, and play above the rim on the defensive end. He also possesses some natural skill. He has a soft touch, not just around the rim but facing up. He can make some high released mid-range jumpers and can even make an occasional three, showing long-term potential to space the floor both vertically and to the arc.”
Joining Ohio State in Sherrell’s trimmed list are Alabama, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Along with Sherrell naming his finalists, the young man has also set a commitment date of August 13. The Bucks were the last to get a visit from the young man just over a month ago in June and are rumored to be in good position with the star center.
