4-star SG Rayvon Griffith sets commitment date

Rayvon Griffith, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard out of Cincinnati (Ohio) Taft is set to come off the board on May 1st. The four-star recruit will announce his college decision between the following five programs — Alabama, Cincinnati, Ohio State, Kansas, and UCLA.

The Ohio native has taken unofficial visits to Cincinnati and Ohio State. He does not have any additional visits scheduled, meaning the odds of him staying in-state are extremely high.

Griffith is the No. 43 prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. 

Griffith discussed both Cincinnati and Ohio State in a previous interview with On3.

Cincinnati

Rayvon Griffith was born and raised in Cincinnati and it’s been home his entire life, so you might imagine the Bearcats have made him a priority recruit.

“It’s a great program,” Griffith said. “They’ve been riding me real hard, people in the city and stuff because I’m from Cincinnati. And you know, I’m like a top-level kid so they definitely want to do everything they can to try to keep me in the city.”

Ohio State

“Growing up I was an Ohio State fan,” Griffith said. “My dad is a Buckeye fan so just growing up watching them…it’s just a great program overall with all the things they got going and they’ve been pretty successful. So just having the opportunity to one day play for them and them just recruiting me means a lot.”

What’s Griffith looking for in a college?

“A brotherhood,” he says. “Somewhere that fits my style of play…consistency of recruiting me, showing what they have to offer me, what they can do for me in the future, and how they will support my future of what I’m trying to do…if I’m going to be a one-and-done or a four-year player at that program. Just showing me the plan they have for me if I go to that school.”
