GREAT NEWS: Taylor Thierry, Ohio State WBB Lands Commitment from Five-Star Prospect No.1 Player in America Chooses Ohio State Over Kentucky, Alabama and Louisville…
In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves through the women’s basketball world, Taylor Thierry, the No. 1 ranked high school prospect in America, has officially committed to Ohio State University. Thierry, a five-star standout, chose the Buckeyes over other powerhouse programs including Kentucky, Alabama, and Louisville, making this one of the biggest recruiting wins in Ohio State women’s basketball history.
Known for her elite athleticism, two-way versatility, and competitive fire, Thierry has been a dominant force on the high school scene. Her ability to slash to the rim, create her own shot, and lock down opponents defensively has made her a consensus top prospect and a future star at the collegiate level. By choosing Ohio State, Thierry is setting the stage to become the face of the program and a potential catalyst for national championship aspirations.
“This just felt right,” Thierry said in her commitment statement. “The culture, the coaching staff, the fans — everything about Ohio State made me feel like I belonged. I want to be part of something special, and I believe we can build something great here in Columbus.”
Head coach Kevin McGuff and his staff have been relentless in their efforts to elevate Ohio State into an elite national program, and landing a recruit of Thierry’s caliber speaks volumes about their vision and trajectory. With an already strong roster and deep postseason potential, the addition of Thierry immediately makes the Buckeyes a major force to be reckoned with in the Big Ten and beyond.
Thierry’s commitment also marks a shift in the recruiting landscape. Beating out SEC powerhouses and traditional contenders like Kentucky and Louisville for the top player in the nation shows that Ohio State is not only in the conversation — they’re leading it. Her decision could inspire a wave of top-tier prospects to follow her lead to Columbus.
