**Nation’s No. 1 Five-Star Forward Rebeka Mikulášiková Commits to Ohio State Over Texas Tech, USC, and LSU**
In a major recruiting win for the Ohio State Buckeyes, the nation’s No. 1 five-star forward **Rebeka Mikulášiková** has officially announced her commitment to **Ohio State**, choosing the Buckeyes over top-tier programs including **Texas Tech**, **USC**, and **LSU**.
The 6-foot-3 phenom out of Bratislava, Slovakia, has been widely regarded as one of the most complete forwards in recent recruiting history. Known for her versatility, court vision, and ability to dominate both inside the paint and from the perimeter, Mikulášiková brings a dynamic presence to the Buckeyes’ frontcourt.
“I felt like Ohio State was home,” Mikulášiková said during her announcement. “The coaching staff believes in me, the culture is incredible, and I’m ready to compete for championships in Columbus.”
Her commitment marks a huge win for head coach Kevin McGuff and the Buckeyes program, which has become a consistent contender in the Big Ten and beyond. With Mikulášiková joining an already talented roster, Ohio State is expected to climb even higher in preseason rankings and make a serious push for a national title.
The decision didn’t come easy. Mikulášiková took official visits to Texas Tech, USC, and LSU, where each program pitched their vision for her as a centerpiece. However, it was Ohio State’s blend of academic support, player development, and team chemistry that ultimately sealed the deal.
Scouts rave about Mikulášiková’s rare combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ. She’s a matchup nightmare who can stretch the floor with her shooting, handle the ball in transition, and defend multiple positions. Analysts already project her as a future WNBA lottery pick.
With this commitment, Ohio State adds a game-changing talent to its 2025 recruiting class and solidifies its standing as a national powerhouse in women’s college basketball.
