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 Tackle Evan Lisle Commits To Ohio State

Lisle is #5

Dayton (Ohio) Centerville four-star offensive tackle Evan Lisle has committed to Ohio State and Urban Meyer, making him the 5th commitment in the class of 2013.

Just 6 days after receiving a long anticipated offer from the Buckeyes, Lisle has made it truly official. Evan was recruited by Ed Warriner and was viewed early on as a rising prospect. 

As mentioned above, Lisle is the fifth pledge for Ohio State in the 2013 class, joining five-star athlete Jalin Marshall, four-star defensive lineman Billy Price and four-star defensive backs Cameron Burrows and Eli Woodard.

Ranked as the nation’s No. 25 offensive tackle overall, Lisle also held offers from the likes of Alabama, Miami, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Oklahoma and West Virginia.

Lisle is a huge pick up for the Buckeyes, as Evan is the best offensive tackle in the state of Ohio.
