Home is where the heart is. Home is also where a ton of basketball talent is located. And for Ohio State, 'home' is Ohio.
With yet another Ohio State men's basketball scholarship offer going toward an Ohio prospect in Massillon Jackson's Kyle Young on Wednesday, the Buckeyes' coaching staff has answered a common criticism of the last few years. Grilled for letting several top Ohio prospects outside of the state borders over the years, it appears Thad Matta and company are intent on its roster returning to the great state of Ohio.
Five of Ohio State's six current verbal commits and signees are in-state prospects, with the only exception being junior college point guard CJ Jackson.
