Shocking Move: Top-Ranked 2025 Women’s Basketball Recruit Dasha Biriuk Commits to Ohio State
In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the world of women’s basketball, Dasha Biriuk, the top-ranked recruit in the class of 2025, has officially committed to Ohio State University. The 6-foot-10 shooting guard, known for her unprecedented height and guard skills, made the announcement via social media on Sunday, ending months of speculation about where the generational talent would take her game next.
Biriuk’s decision is already being described as one of the most impactful commitments in recent memory. A once-in-a-decade player, she has dazzled scouts with her rare combination of size, shooting, and ball-handling. Her ability to drain shots from deep, facilitate offense, and defend multiple positions has drawn comparisons to WNBA legends and NBA stars alike. Many expected her to land at traditional powerhouse programs like UConn, South Carolina, or Stanford—but her choice to join the Buckeyes has turned the recruiting landscape on its head.
“This is home now,” Biriuk wrote in her announcement post. “I believe in the vision Coach McGuff has, and I’m ready to make history in Columbus.”
For Ohio State, the commitment is nothing short of transformational. The Buckeyes have been a strong program in recent years, but Biriuk’s presence catapults them into national title conversations. Coach Kevin McGuff praised her maturity, leadership, and passion for the game, calling her “a program-changer.”
“She’s not just the best player in the class—she’s one of the most unique prospects we’ve ever seen,” McGuff said. “She’ll bring a new level of excitement and dominance to Buckeye basketball.”
Biriuk, originally from Ukraine and now playing at a top prep school in the U.S., has become a social media sensation thanks to viral highlight reels that showcase her silky jump shot and unbelievable wingspan. Her commitment is also a major win for Big Ten basketball, giving the conference another marquee name and elevating its competitive stature.
With her size and skill set, Dasha Biriuk is poised to revolutionize the women’s game—and she’s doing it in scarlet and gray. College basketball fans everywhere will be watching closely as the next chapter of her already-historic journey begins at Ohio State.
