Ohio State's top target in the 2019 class released his list of top three schools on Sunday evening, and the Buckeyes were on the list that many other programs were cut from.
DJ Carton, a five-star point guard out of Bettendorf, Iowa, previously listed Ohio State as one of his top six schools on May 10. Less than two months later, Carton trimmed his list in half, with a trio of Big Ten schools remaining.
The Buckeyes are joined in the running for Carton by Indiana and Michigan, two schools who are arguably Ohio State's biggest rivals on the hardwood.
