Not this argument again...Foster has changed his style his recruiting philosophy...Just becase a girl is from Ohio doesn't mean she wants to be a buckeye...THey can recruit them all they want and they can show them their uptempo style of play and letting the girls play and that they will play young players, but some just want to go elsewhere...They have dreamed of playing at a UCONN or a Tennessee, or Dook, or UNC because they have seen these teams growing up their whole life, they have been the ones that have won NC have been on tv...With the big ten network and Ohio State being more on a national stage hopefully things will change, but it the nature of the beast...
Jackson, Johnson, Lavendar, Prahalis, Stokes, Harmon, and Sanders are no slouches tho...All have been ranked, and most could play anywhere in the country...

Got to the game late last night , thanks to the tickets having the wrong time on them. 
We really need someone to step up at SG. Maria Moeller did probably the best job of anyone last night, but it's not her position. Our team is still too susceptible to just collapsing the defense around Lavender.
That said, I thought they looked good other than that cold stretch at the end. I honestly wasn't expecting that close a game, and was happily surprised.
Ditto everyone above about Prahalis. She's going to be fun to watch for the next four years. And I don't know how much lip-reading you could do on the broadcast, but I wouldn't be surprised if she gets tossed from a game on technicals at some point.

Oh, and COMPLETELY off topic, but during the game, they scrolled all the OSU players in various sports that had won player of the week honors this year.
Our favorite?
"Chris" "Beanie" "Wells" (Yes, every part of his name was in quotes)

Foster loves being a top 25 team and I don't blame those young ladies going to the top teams all over the country but, Matta and Tressel changed that and gave OSU a great chance with Ohio players so, why can't Foster. Did you notice thats why OSU got a new wrestling coach , to keep Ohio talent homecrazybuckfan40;1346441; said:

Football and Mens basketball are different beasts tho due to exposure...When watching them they are on tv for every game all the time...
Womens basketball when these girls were growing up it was only the best 4 teams or so that were on tv...
Foster is doing a good job recruiting, but no matter how hard he tries if the girls want to go elsewhere he can't stop them...
As for the SG thing that Mol mentioned I like both Johnson and Jackson, but Foster doesn't seem confident with them out there sometimes...I think due to turnovers...Thought Moeller did a good job with Prahalis controlling the ball...

I think the ladies played one hell of a game, they just ran down as NC just had too much depth.
