Urban Meyer lands another top-tier class at Ohio State

ABOUT WISCONSIN (13-9, 5-4): Hayes and Bronson Koenig are the unquestionable leaders of the Badgers offense as they combine for more than 30 points per game. This one didn’t come easy, but to start, it looked like it might.

That helped Ohio State sign the nation’s No. 4 class, while MI finished at No. 5.

After scoring just three points in the first half, Nigel Hayes almost single-handedly carried the Badgers in the second 20 minutes, finishing the game with a team-high 21 points, adding 7 rebounds, 3 assists and a pair of steals. Happ, who is averaging 12.3 points and 8.3 rebounds, was instrumental in both wins last week, scoring a career-high 25 points and grabbing eight rebounds against in and recording six points and nine rebounds in 22 minutes against IL. “To be able to put the ball into one of your better players’ hands that close to the basket, obviously it puts pressure on the defense”.

Berger was a celebrated recruit in the class of 2014, a four-star prospect from OH prep powerhouse Cleveland St.Ignatius, who picked the Buckeyes over Michigan, Penn State, Arkansas, and a slew of other big name programs.

For all the official visits that students make and flattering letters that coach Urban Meyer writes, Ohio State’s best advertisement, according to Josh Helmholdt, a Midwest recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, was last year’s national championship. “It’s a street fight to get back involved with a player”. Lyle led all scorers in the first half with 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting.

Hayes, though, was clutch in the second half.

Hill hit a three-pointer to cap a 9-3 run and give UW a 30-25 lead.

Wisconsin went 10-of-10 from the free-throw line in the final 67 seconds on Sunday to secure the victory – a season-high fourth straight – against IL.

“They’re real honest guys and real cool guys”, he said. “I’m not the only one, but I guess I’ll take [being] the lead singer in our rock band”.

“I saw his size and watched the videotape, very impressive guy”, Meyer said. “It’s coming from different people in different fashions”.

Don’t expect Ohio State to change just for the sake of change however.

How they’ll fit in: Meyer has already identified Bosa and Jonathon Cooper, a 6-foot-2, 234-pound defensive end from Gahanna, Ohio, as among the freshmen who will get playing time next season.
