Michigan was a finalist for a five-star point guard. Instead, D.J. Carton is heading to one of U-M's biggest rivals.
Carton announced via Twitter Saturday that he has committed to Ohio State.
The Bettendorf, Iowa product is the No. 21 player in the 2019 class according to the 247sports.com composite rankings. Several days before committing, Carton announced he had narrowed his list of schools to three, but Michigan and Indiana lost this recruiting battle to the Buckeyes.
"I would like to thank all the coaches for taking time to recruit me and show interest in me," Carton wrote.
