OSU Men's Basketball Recruiting/Projections/General Discussions

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

Do we have the ships to take 5 this year, 1 or 2 in 09, and 4 in 2010? I mean with the players on the board you cant complain, but seems like we dont have enough space for all these players.

We have one remaining spot in the 2008 class that Jones may fill. The 2009 class possibly 1-2 players, due to possible early defections of KK, Buford, Lighty and Mullens. 2010 class will be most likely around 4-5 ships....

Just terrible that we can't get more superstars in the coming years .

Nick still has a chance to be special

Yes he does, but at this point it seems like they are wanting to bring in longer wing type players...

Nic is only 6'1'' or so, but I wouldnt rule him out yet...He very easily could grow 4 inches or so, I mean look at his dad and brother...

Hey, can anybody knowledgeable about Ohio High School or AAU basketball give me an assessment of Robert Wilson's (Garfield Heights) game?

He committed to my Badgers a while back but he still remains a mystery to me. Any links to free video would be a bonus.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH



Coach Thad Matta's strategy of inviting several members of the same recruiting class to visit campus on the same day paid off again for the Ohio State men's basketball team. Two high school sophomores who visited Saturday have committed to sign with the Buckeyes in two years, the father of one of them said last night.

Very nice, coach.

 

[Padraig]

Just sick! (in a good way )

Absolutely incredible...I love us! :osu:

 

[BB73]

[sarcasm] So what's up with no commits yet for 2011? Some of those kids will have actually attended a high school practice very soon! [/sarcasm]

 

[crazybuckfan40]

This is just flat out amazing...

Right now we have 3 of the top 10 players in the country for 2010' and another kid that is shooting up the charts and without ever seeing him play I would say is going to be a top 50 top player...

2011

Look for Treavan Jackson playing at Westerville South this year.

 

[Buckeye Nation]

One word to describe Thad Matta's recruiting:

WOW!

 

[graveyard.roses]

Thad seems like a cool guy you can hang out with outside of the game setting. I'd like to play for him if I were a big time talent.

Matta is sticking to his "Not till puberty" rule.

 

[Oh8ch]

Not to put too much emphasis on the ratings, but since he came to OSU Matta has recruited the following ranked players:

#1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 28, 31, 59, 65, 85 and 93.
