Shelley, who is listed at 6-foot-8, 175 pounds, is also considering Louisville, Marquette, Arkansas, Colorado, Texas A&M, Houston and LSU.
The Buckeyes' lone commit in the 2024 class is four-star Bishop Gorman combo guard Juni Mobley, who ranks 43rd in the nation, per the 247Sports composite rankings. Ohio State is expected to sign a smaller class in 2024 than it has in the past couple years, and it may only consist of one or two high school recruits.
