In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the college basketball world, the Ohio State Buckeyes have pulled off one of the most jaw-dropping recruiting moves of the year—landing both Luka Grujicic and Zander Herro for their 2025 freshmen class.
The announcement dropped like a bombshell Friday night, lighting up social media and sending Buckeye Nation into a frenzy. Grujicic, a 6-foot-10 Serbian powerhouse known for his elite footwork and NBA-range shooting, was widely considered a top-10 international prospect. Herro, the younger brother of NBA sharpshooter Tyler Herro, has built his own legacy with explosive scoring and a fearless attitude that echoes his sibling’s swagger.
Together, they form a lethal duo—one that instantly elevates Ohio State’s national title hopes and positions the Buckeyes as the team to beat in the Big Ten.
“It’s a game-changer,” head coach Jake Diebler said during a hastily arranged press conference. “These are two young men who not only bring insane talent, but also hunger and leadership. This isn’t just recruiting—this is building a dynasty.”
Analysts have already started comparing Grujicic and Herro to past iconic pairings in college basketball, calling this a potential “one-and-done revolution” in Columbus.
Fans are dreaming big—and with good reason. The last time the Buckeyes pulled off a recruiting double of this magnitude, they were knocking on the door of a national championship.
Now, with Grujicic and Herro in the fold, that door might be about to swing wide open.
