Eugene Brown Earns Buckeyes Offer After Injury Recovery, Keon Johnson To Make Commitment, Ryan Kalkbrenner To Visit Ohio State

Welcome to the Full Court Press, your destination for offseason Ohio State basketball recruiting updates.

Near the beginning of his junior season with Southwest DeKalb High School, the promising Georgia native broke his leg. The mind-numbing pain, he said, was unlike anything he had ever felt before.

“On the way to the hospital, I definitely thought my career was over,” Brown told Eleven Warriors on Thursday.
