As previously mentioned, Funderburk Jr. (no relation to Lawrence Funderburke) has an OSU offer, but should soon be in line for more.

The 6-foot-9-inch center is at the NBPA Top 100 Camp in Charlottesville, Va., along with several other Buckeye targets. In addition to Ohio State, Funderburk Jr. has offers from Iowa, Penn State and Xavier. With a strong showing at the camp, he could add to that list.

F Derrick Funderburk Jr.: 12 PTS, 6 REB for King James (OH) in a win over Mac Irvin Fire @KingJamesAAU http://t.co/ivpzfWn9u8

Just a few weeks ago four-star junior big man Derek Funderburk committed to Ohio State. Playing with Ohio based King James, Funderburk looked good around the rim while scoring 12 points in a win over the Mac Irvin Fire. Funderburk is still quite skinny so gaining strength is a priority. But, he's quick off his feet, has good hands and was active around the rim.
