While much of the focus on Thursday and Friday remained on the in-state 2021 and 2022 prospects at Ohio State’s team camp, the Buckeyes continued to add to their list of 2020 targets this week by extending a pair of offers. They currently have one open scholarship in their 2020 class, which doesn’t include any commitments. Four-star power forward Lance Ware earned an offer from Ohio State on Tuesday. At 6-foot-9, 205 pounds, he’s the No. 45 overall prospect and the seventh-ranked power forward in the class of 2020. Ware plays for the New York Lighting in the Nike EYBL and Camden High School in New Jersey. He has offers from Providence, Maryland and Seton Hall.
