Ohio State Makes Early Move on 2029 Basketball Standout

Ohio State Makes Early Move on 2029 Basketball Standout reports that head coach Jake Diebler has extended an offer to Noah Woods for the 2029 recruiting class. Woods announced on social media that he spoke with Diebler and received the scholarship from the University. The 6-foot-9, 200-pound forward is from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and has also received offers from Big Ten programs Iowa and Nebraska, along with South Dakota. A 24/7 Sports reporter, Nick Osen, said Woods stood out as a major “stock riser,” citing his guard-like skills such as ball-handling, vision, and passing, while still defending and playing above the rim. Woods becomes the third player in Ohio State’s 2029 cycle to receive an offer. The Buckeyes are also pursuing Bryce Irby and Mason Grivna, as they aim to build relationships early.
