Breaking News: ESPN 100 C Daniel Giddens @DGOOD__ has committed to The Ohio State Buckeyes! @ESPNRNHoops

MATTA!

Thread title change? Another great get for Matta and the BB Bucks. I thought the rebuilding would take a few years but the 2015 roster may have the most pure talent from top to bottom than it has had for quite some time.

my favorite commitment comment that i have ever read:

"I feel like this group of guys, we all have one goal and that is to get Coach Matta his first national title," said Giddens. "He has been to numerous final fours and we now feel we have the opportunity to give him a national title with the talent we brought in, in my class and 2014 as well. We all are humble and hungry."

continued...

Great get for OSU! Finally a 4-star+ big picks OSU, it had been a while since that had happened. I like his size, strength, athleticism and attitude.

So have people stopped doing the banana thing here or what? Daniel has to be worth at least a few more.

Oh man, I honestly just woke up my roomates after I saw this. Really big (BIG) get for us and Giddens is going to dominate low for us. And I really do not care that I woke my roomates up, GO BUCKS! Welcome aboard Mr. Giddens!

upon rereading the comments from giddens, i cannot but help notice this in particular:

... we now feel we have the opportunity to give him a national title with the talent we brought in, in my class and 2014 as well...

we brought in.

i wonder if daniel -- behind the scenes and out of the public eye -- has been recruiting for matta all along and for longer than we know.

i may be seeing shape in a cloud, but it does make me wonder.

edit: go to daniel's twitter page and search for the picture posted (among "photos and videos") on november 30th. you tell me how long he's known where to go. i don't know, but i think it's been longer than we've thought.

If you look at David when he smiles, there's a clear resemblance there.

Oh and I might add that the Giddens is good Put the '14 class with the '15 class and this could be pretty fun to watch.

One other thing, he just turned 17 right? So he is a bit young for his class & he will still be 17 when he (presumably) enrolls at OSU next June. So theoretically he has more potential than some might expect based on that factor. I think his best basketball is ahead of him for sure.
