<p>All off the board!</p>
<p>In shooting guards alone, Ohio has four Division I commits, 12 set to play on scholarship at D-II or NAIA programs, a pair of JUCO commits, two Division IIIs, and several football signees. </p>
<p>But there are still two-guards available for every level of college basketball. Here’s all of them on that are on the Prep Hoops Ohio radar:</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><em><strong>Top 25 Overall</strong></em></h4>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mark-wise/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mark-wise/">Mark Wise</a></a> | 6-4 | Deer Park</strong><br />
<strong><em>offers: Detroit Mercy, Florida Atlantic</em></strong></h6>
<p>Physical combo guard who looks to attack the basket and make plays. Good drive-and-kick player who can also muscle his way all the way to the basket for a finish. Very good rebounder. He can defend up because of his strength and bulky frame.Wise led Deer Park to an undefeated season and Division III State Championship his sophomore year, the height of high school career and stock as a recruit. </p>
<p> </p>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><em><strong>Top 50 Overall</strong></em></h4>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/carl-blanton/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/carl-blanton/">Carl Blanton</a></a> | 6-2 | Trotwood</strong></h6>
<p>Efficient scorer who can catch-and-shoot or attack the basket with efficient straight-line moves. Blanton has a lean, athletic build and he also thrives on the gridiron, which isn't a surprise given his physicality. Shows elusive footwork as a slasher. Blanton is also a very solid defender who stays in front and can pressure the ball. Does a good job of being in good position on defense.</p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jadakis-mack/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jadakis-mack/">Jadakis Mack</a></a> | 6-3 | Lima Senior</strong></h6>
<p>Mack is an explosive athlete with the potential to be an <em>elite </em>defender at the next level because of his tools. When you're this great in one area — more specifically, a very important area of the game — the rest is really just gravy. Guards multiple spots. Mack is also a very strong attacker in the open floor, where his athleticism also shines. Improving shooter. Provides rebounding, too. </p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/gbolahan-adio/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/gbolahan-adio/">Gbolahan Adio</a></a> | 6-3 | Richmond Heights</strong><br />
<strong><em>offers: West Virginia Tech</em></strong></h6>
<p>Wiry athlete with a versatile scoring package. Adio can put points on the scoreboard in transition, on catch-and-shoot, with efficient pull-ups, and he can also create with multiple dribbles. Scholarship-level athleticism. Very solid defender with a good wingspan and lateral quickness.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><em><strong>Top 100 Overall</strong></em></h4>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/kaden-fuhrmann/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/kaden-fuhrmann/">Kaden Fuhrmann</a></a> | 6-3 | Lakota East</strong><br />
<strong><em>offers: Delta State, Hillsdale, Urbana, Thomas More</em></strong></h6>
<p>Consistent outside shooter with his feet set. Fuhrmann separates himself from other shooters with his quickness, size, and athleticism. Defensively, he can stay in front and has been groomed into a very solid player on that end. Fuhrmann can also attack because of his first step and use of the shot fake. Flashes acrobatic finishing ability.</p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/tahleik-walker/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/tahleik-walker/">Tahleik Walker</a></a> | 6-2 | Pickerington Central</strong><br />
<strong><em>offers: Alderson Broaddus</em></strong></h6>
<p>Elite perimeter defender. Walker is not only very springy, quick, and fluid, he's also locked in on defense. He's alert and shows a commitment to the defensive end. Walker can guard one, two, and three. Offensively, he's a reliable ball-handler that can attack the rim and finish athletically. Improving shooter. Plays with patience and a noticeable calmness. </p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/dakota-cochran/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/dakota-cochran/">Dakota Cochran</a></a> | 6-2 | Shaker Heights</strong></h6>
<p>Bulky wing with immense speed and strength. Cochran uses his athleticism to finish emphatically in traffic — often scoring and-ones through the body. Solid shooter with his feet set. Cochran's athleticism is also an asset on defense, where he covers ground like a strong safety away from the ball. Provides resistance against slashers by staying in front and absorbing contact.</p>
<p>Cochran has a pair of Division I football offers.</p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cooper-parrott/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cooper-parrott/">Cooper Parrott</a></a> | 6-2 | Willard</strong></h6>
<p>Two-sport athlete with more going on the football side right now. We're surprised, however, that recruitment hasn't picked up for Parrott at this point. He's a very solid, efficient scorer who can shoot it and take what the defense gives him off the dribble. Strong body and a reliable defender.</p>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mason-loeffler/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/mason-loeffler/">Mason Loeffler</a></a> | 6-3 | Evergreen</strong><br />

<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/chase-poston/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/chase-poston/">Chase Poston</a></a> | 6-4 | Fairfield Union</strong></h6>

<strong><em>offers: Concord, Urbana, Siena Heights, Great Lakes Christian College</em></strong></h6>
<p>A skilled, flashy scoring package and effort define Maciag's game. He is willing to sacrifice his body for loose balls and plays with an edge. Creates shots off the bounce with a side-to-side crossover and possesses ability to shoot off the bounce. Good vision.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><em><strong>Sleepers</strong></em></h4>
<h6><strong><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/martin-lowry/"><a href="https://prephoops.com/player/martin-lowry/">Martin Lowry</a></a> | 6-3 | Fairview</strong><br />
