Pretty big time in CBB recruiting is coming up. Thought I would try to draw up some interest for it.

Nova and Syracuse are the others in the mix. We shall see.

Interesting note:

Wake got a CB after Swider had already eliminated Wake from his list. :heh:

Hell, all these kids are the same at this level. Until they actually sigh a LOI I wouldn't trust anything said up until then.

Yeah, but I don't think Wake was recruiting him hard. Just think someone over at 247 messed up.

I do agree that commitments mean very little.

Swider chooses Villanova

@jontaejones

I don't know him but I like him.

Wright sticking with the strategy of picking players in the 50s to 100s range who will likely stay 4 years. Either that or he has no choice.

Cole Swider and Brandon Slater.

Any intel on these guys?

USC has signed 3 top 75 kids in the last week. Not a bad week for them. Enfield is starting to get things rolling in LA.

Reginald Perry backed out of his commitment to Arkansas. I want this dude so bad.

This is a big get considering we desperately need bodies, only having 8 scholarship players before this.

Holtmann being able to add 2 4* guys to the currently incoming 17 class (to go along with Kaleb Wesson) is a nice start to the rebuild.

Four-Star Guard/Forward Musa Jallow Commits to Ohio State, Reclassifies to 2017 Class

Pretty great work by Holtman to secure a top 25 class when he had about a month to do it. This at least lays the groundwork for the 2018-2019 season. My guess is Ohio State will see a huge influx of talent for that season whether it be transfers and incoming freshman.

Yea Wesson Young and Jallow is a solid foundation. Along with Potter and Wesson's older brother who are SOs this year

Landed our first for 18 tonight too. 4* SG Torrence Watson from Missouri, like his all around will be a good piece to the puzzle

Nice get on Watson. I can't understate it enough how intrigued I am with Holtman being as Ohio State, more so this season. I think he's going to do awesome at Ohio State. My one question is whether or not he'll be able to land the 5 star talent like Matta did early in his tenure with the likes of Oden, Conley, Cook, Koufos, Mullens, and Burford. I think he'll be able to but maybe not until the 2019 recruiting cycle.

Matta's thing was he was never really able to develop players pretty well, when his luster wore off and he wasnt able to get those all american type players, the results quickly dropped off. Marc Loving is a perfect example of Mattas inability to get players to get better.

Holtmann however I trust will be able to win with the Watson and Jallow types. I think he may be able to bring in some elite 5* types here and there, 2018 class from the looks of it right now will probably be 3 or maybe 4 solid 4* guys. 2019 will be his chance to woo some of the more elite players if these next 2 seasons go well.

Yeah, I thought Loving and Bates-Diop had 1st round potential when they arrived at Ohio State, obviously neither came close to where I thought they would be, part of that was the lack of development. And yeah, I agree he can win with 4 star type of players, he was awesome at Butler and that was with some 3 star guys in the rotation.
