Thad Matta has firmly returned to his roots. After offering 2018 Pickerington North wing forward Jerome Hunter last Thursday, the Ohio State men's basketball coach stayed busy on Tuesday. Hosting 2018 wings Justin Ahrens and Robby Carmody for unofficial visits on Tuesday, Matta and the Buckeyes extended scholarship offers to two of the region's top prospects.

For Ahrens, the Buckeye offer might come as a surprise for some, as it is his first high-major and Big Ten offer.
