Wednesday's Buckeye Bits

Good morning, Buckeye fans!  I’m happy to announce this is the first ever post on Inside The Shoe on February 29!  Happy Leap Day!

However, I’m getting tired of writing about Ohio State having to bounce back from a weekend defeat against an inferior opponent on the road, but that’s exactly what I have to write again today. 

The Buckeyes face off against Northwestern tonight at 8:30 Eastern Time, needing a win to keep any shot at a share of the B1G title alive.

Hoosiers take down Sparty.  Ohio State needs to send a big thank you down to Bloomington after Indiana knocked off Michigan State 70-55 at Assembly Hall last night.  With wins tonight against Northwestern and at Michigan State this weekend, the Buckeyes would clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season title. 

2013 4-Star Offensive Lineman/Defensive Lineman Billy Price Commits To Ohio State

Price is #3 in 2013

The Buckeyes had already landed commitments from the top two 2013 prospects in the state of Ohio, defensive back Cam Burrows and quarterback/athlete Jalin Marshall. Now, according to the man himself, 2013 4-Star OL/DL Billy Price has committed to Ohio State, giving Urban Meyer his third commitment of this class. 

Price was in Columbus on Saturday. He spent the afternoon visiting Ohio State, and then was honored at the Touchdown Club Of Columbus’ banquet on Saturday night.  The 6'4" 300-pound Price plays defensive end and offensive left tackle for Fitch. He rarely came off the field the past two seasons.

As for his future at Ohio State, Price has said that he will play on the defensive line for Luke Fickell, and be a defensive tackle. Price had numerous scholarship offers including Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Pitt, West Virginia, Tennessee, Nebraska, Arizona, UCLA and SMU before selecting the Bucks.

Coming into the 2013 recruiting class, there were three main targets. Those were Cameron Burrows, Jalin Marshall, and Billy Price. They are 3 of the best prospects in Ohio, and now they are a part of the 2013 class which is already shaping up to be a great haul.
