New head coach Chris Holtmann is already seeing positive signs on the recruiting trail as the second best player in the state of Ohio flipped his commit to the Buckeyes and will be ready to help contribute.
In just one month, Chris Holtmann and company at the Ohio State University have assembled the top recruiting class in the Big Ten in 2017 for the Buckeyes.
Even though it was against two opponents that Ohio State should have easily beaten, getting the first-game jitters out of the way for both the new coaching staff and seven newcomers was important for the Buckeyes. Ohio State began a perfect 2-0 during the first weekend of college basketball after beating Robert Morris and Radford.
After an incredible 20-point comeback to beat Michigan and start Big Ten play 2-0, the Ohio State Buckeyes carried that momentum into the rest of the week to go a perfect 2-0 on the hardwood this past week. Their dominate win over William and Mary allowed head coach Chris Holtmann to clear his bench.
