Kevin McGuff lands yet another five-star prospect.
After signing four five-star, top-50 players in the 2019 class, Ohio State is kicking off the 2020 class with a bang as five-star point guard Kateri Poole committed to the Buckeyes on Friday afternoon.

Out of Monsignor Scanlan High School in Bronx, New York, Poole is ranked as the No. 16 overall player in the nation and the No. 7 point guard in the class by ESPN.
Poole will be joining the Buckeyes a year after Ohio State welcomed the nation's No. 3 recruiting class, which included five-star freshmen Kierstan Bell, Rikki Harris, Kaelynn Satterfield and Jacy Sheldon as well as top international prospect Aixa Wone, along with three late additions to the class in Oklahoma State transfer Braxtin Miller, Pickerington native Madison Greene and Slovakian forward Rebeka Mikulasikova.
Jensen Caretti is the only senior on Ohio State's 2019-20 roster.
