Just a gut feeling, but I think Buford will be a Buckeye in the end.......

Buford took an unofficial visit to Kentucky this past weekend. Kentucky, Ohio State and Michigan State are the three schools recruiting him the hardest at this point. Buford is wide open.

Prepspotlight.com is reporting that Buford is an STATE BUCKEYE!

I take it you have a membership then? Who are the other two players they mentioned?

 

[buckeydoptimist]

Any other confirmation yet?

The "other two" are probably commits to schools other than OSU.

 

[HotMic]

Yeah I figured that...I was just wondering who it was.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

Either way it has always been a matter of when and not if IMO...

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

No confirmation yet....but if true, this is really not a suprise.

Buford's dad had confirmed this, time to change the thread title!!

From Kyle over at BN per Buford's father:

He confirmed that his son, William, committed to the Buckeyes Sunday night over Michigan State, Michigan, Kentucky and a host of others.

"Yes, he committed Sunday night," said Buford Sr.

Big pickup for Thad Matta and Ohio State. Buford is ranked No. 3 in the country at shooting guard and is a top-20 talent.

He joins Walter Offutt and B.J. Mullens in the class of 2008 and will help a lot with Anthony Crater.

Buford had visited the aforementioned three schools and was set to visit Indiana this weekend but called it off.

For those unaware, Buford is a 6-5 guard/wing from Toledo Libbey. He's ranked No. 11 by ScoutHoops.com in the 2008 recruiting class.
