Five-star senior Anthony Thompson has committed to Ohio State , becoming the Buckeyes' highest-ranked men's basketball recruit in more than a decade.

Thompson chose the Buckeyes over Indiana , giving Jake Diebler a massive recruiting win over Big Ten foes. Texas was heavily in the mix, while Michigan , Kentucky and North Carolina also received visits.

"My relationship with the coaching staff was different. They recruited me hard and consistently made me a priority," Thompson told ESPN. "Coach Diebler really cares about all his players. He is on the court working with his players during individual workouts. He was very consistent in his communication and recruitment of me. I know I can rely on him to help me. I watched the team practice. They had great energy and buy-in."
