The top basketball prospect in the state of Ohio is coming to Columbus to play for the Buckeyes in 2021. Malaki Branham, a four-star rated combo guard, announced yesterday that he would don the Scarlet and Gray and play for Chris Holtmann next season. Branham is from Columbus but moved to Akron for high school, playing at the same school that produced basketball legend LeBron James. Branham averaged 20-points and seven rebounds this past season as a junior and earned a first-team All-Ohio Division Two selection.
