The Ohio State men's basketball team will host several recruits this weekend, including top prospects Denis and Foster, as they look to build on recent commitments in the 2025 and 2026 classes. Additionally, Ohio State will participate in charity exhibition games to raise money for mental health awareness. They will face Cincinnati on October 18 at Fifth Third Arena and Dayton will play Xavier on October 20, with all proceeds benefiting mental health providers and charities, including Jay's Light. These games are part of a continued effort to leverage sports for mental health advocacy, following last year's successful event that raised approximately $500,000.
