No. 1 player from Ohio Alonzo Gaffney commits to Ohio State basketball

The Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team just received the biggest commitment of the young Chris Holtmann-era, as Ohio’s top-rated player Alonzo Gaffney has officially decided to stay in-state for his collegiate career.

The physically imposing 6’9 power forward is currently wrapping up his junior year at Cleveland’s Garfield Heights High School. 247 Sports has him as the 18th best player in the 2019 class, and the third-best power forward nationally.

Before choosing to stay at home with the Buckeyes, he had offers from Michigan State, North Carolina, Louisville, Georgetown, Kansas, and many others.
