    Good for him. He deserves it. As a follower of Butler, I can attest to his recruiting ability and his ability to run a solid program. Nevertheless........Ouch! :D

    I was wondering why the Creighton coach didn't take it but it seems that he's got a pretty good gig, they have a big arena and fill it up, 17K I think. So he's got an excellent fanbase, Omaha is reportedly a great place to live if you're going to live up north.

    But the Butler coach is a good hire for the Buckeyes.

    I think so too Terry. Eight year contract for 24 million, same as Matta was being paid.

    I see that Ohio State is starting over with recruiting for the 2018 class. The last guy from Matta's class is opening up his recruiting.
    He is reportedly considering Notre Dame.

    Terry,

    This de commit really surprised me, he has been on board since his freshman year in high school. Dane is a good floor leader and scores a lot of points.He was runner-up to Wesson last year for Mr. Ohio Basketball.
