Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State had quite the offseason, firing one of the best coaches in the Big Ten in Thad Matta.  That just shows that the business of coaching is not just winning games, but winning top recruiting battles as well.  Chris Holtmann, formerly at Butler, is the new head man at Ohio State and he is tasked with bringing Ohio State back to relevance, while still being able to keep the current players there.

C Kaleb Wesson – Westerville, OH

Rated ∗∗∗∗ and #72 by 247Sports

Wesson decided to stay home and commit to the Buckeyes. He has tremendous hands for a big man and is a very crafty scorer underneath the basket.  Wesson will need to get into a college strength and conditioning program as well as a nutrition program.  Once he does that, he could be one of the best post scorers in basketball.
