The void left on the Buckeyes’ 2025-26 roster after incoming freshman guard Dorian Jones announced he was not joining the team this season was quickly filled on Monday when they garnered a commitment from Milwaukee Whitnall 2025 point guard Myles Herro (6-3, 165).

Herro – the brother of Miami Heat all-star guard and former Kentucky Wildcat Tyler Herro – is unranked by 247Sports’ composite rankings, but the outlet has him as a three-star prospect in its standard rankings as well as the nation’s 40^th-best point guard and 10^th-best player out of Wisconsin. He had a productive last two seasons at Whitnall, averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game as a junior and then notching 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game as a senior. Herro also spent some time playing in the AAU circuit for the Nike EYBL program Team Herro, which is coached by his father, Chris.

Despite his notable last name and high school successes, he did not receive much attention from top college programs and only held two offers from Cal Poly and Western Illinois, leading up to his commitment to Ohio State. Regardless, Herro’s commitment gives Diebler the two-man recruiting class he was anticipating for the 2025 class, and it also provides some much-needed backcourt depth for this season behind starters Bruce Thornton and John Mobley Jr. and reserves Gabe Cupps and Taison Chatman.

The Buckeyes have 15 roster spots for the season but will reportedly only use 13 full scholarships, meaning head coach Jake Diebler and his staff will likely have to find one more player to fill out the roster after Herro’s commitment.
