Eleven Warriors

The subject of recruiting continues to be a contentious point surrounding Buckeye Basketball. Ohio States recruiting is good but not great so what makes recruiting great? The answer is people, not just average or enven above average people but great people with one focus. To contend with North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky and Kansas what has to be done. Stop playing football; when was the last time any of the afore mentioned teams had a football team worth a "tinkers fart"...can't remember (most who could are dead). So for the short term we will continue to be in the arena with the bigs of basketball and be prepared to get what they don't want.

I read in the Dispatch where the Buckeye basketball coaching staff is comfortable with the way the recent recruiting went . Well this writer believes our coaching lacks a sense of urgency that is held by Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina and others. Our team lost a huge inside presence and argueably did not recruit a replacement and with a grave concern of what we have on our bench to help inside coupled with our lack of outside shooting expertise it appears that unless that shooting improves dramatically we may win a some percentage close to our shooting percentage. The coaching staff is the culprit here and their satisfied attitude had better get a greater sense of urgency or it will be another long season.
