a former teammate of Jeremiah Davis. Osborne is an improving player who has found a comfort level banging down low. Cincinnati first began to look at him back in the spring. Xavier, Purdue, Iowa and Butler have shown interest. Cincinnati has not offered. All his offers are currently from mid-majors.

Nick Osborne, who has an offer from Ball State and interest from other schools like, Boston College, Butler, Dayton, Detroit, Fordham, Northwestern, Ohio, Stanford, Valparaiso and Xavier. Chris Mack, and head coaches from Fordham, IFPW, and Dayton recently made the trip over to watch him play. Osborne, was averaging (my last check) 16.8 rebounds and 10.3 rebounds isn't overly athletic, but he has a high motor and competes for every rebound. He does most of his scoring off the offensive glass. Like most young big men he is still finding his game offensively.

One side note...Here's a tweet from JD to Nick:

Lets Get it done bro Bearcats for life @NickOsborne32 regarding
Nick Osborne visiting. It's also cool to see Ge'Lawn's comment, "shout out to UC. I love my team"

Very exciting to see the incoming recruits stoked to be here.

Nick Osborne, PF, Eric Gordon Central Stars- The 6-foot-7 Osborne is a strong kid who can run the floor and play physical basketball. He secures rebounds with sure hands, can play pick and pop basketball thanks to his soft touch from 17 feet.
