OFFER IN THE PEACH STATE
There’s no reason to consider Ohio State anything but an underdog in the recruitment of four-star guard Bruce Thornton. But after pulling Eugene Brown II out of Georgia in the 2020 class, the Buckeyes recently set their eyes on another guard from the state.

They extended a scholarship offer to Thornton – a 6-foot, 180-pound point guard from Alpharetta, Georgia – on June 10. He joins five-star Skyy Clark of Brentwood Academy (Tenn.) as the second 2022 point guard to earn a scholarship from Ohio State.

Thornton is the No. 30 overall prospect and seventh-rated point guard in his class, though both rankings could rise in the near future. Wake Forest, Auburn, Maryland, Indiana and Purdue are among the schools that have offered him scholarships over the past three weeks.

This Bruce Thornton commitment feels like Ohio State threading the needle like it did with Roddy Gayle to get the not-quite-a-five-star-but-he’s-close prospect. A big, big win for the Buckeyes who now have their point guards of the future in Thornton and Meechie Johnson.

Bruce Thornton commits to Ohio State.

The high-end four-star point guard from Georgia is now tied with Malaki Branham and DJ Carton as the top-rated recruit of the Chris Holtmann era. A massive win for the Buckeyes who land the No. 30 overall 2022 recruit without a visit.
