So I was pretty excited about Ohio State's recruiting class. I had heard a lot of great things about all of them but figured being freshman that it would take some time to get things rolling and to see their true potential.

If you watched that North Carolina game last night, you've got to be impressed. These kids are the real deal. The quickness on the perimeter is just unbelievable. We lost to UNC by 9, but had a 10 point lead in the first half and came out on fire. We ended not having enough in the paint, but if you saw the game, can you imagine how good they are going to be with Oden?

Oh man, this is going to be fun.

Matta could give Tressel a run for his money in recruiting top notch classes.

What an awesome game! Seemed to go a little cold in the second half, and we really could've used Oden in the middle to clog things up and pull down a few boards. Can't wait to see him play!

We might get the chance to play North Carolina again in the tournament when we have Oden.

I definitely was impressed. They showed composure and shot the lights out from beyond the three point arc. Oden's being compared to Ralph Sampson? Wow! And look at the class coming in next year.

Jim Tressel and Thad Matta are going to win national championships and rule the world.

Ohio State is going to become the capital of the Universe.

At the end of the game some NC fans were chanting "overated." The camera caught Oden looking into the stands (as he stretched another towel over his head) with a look on his face like "Just wait." He would have likely changed the complexion of that game.

Anyone catch Oden playing? Sounds like he really made the most of the few minutes he played.

Circle Saturday, December 23rd at (4 PM-CBS) on your calendar. It will be a war on the court before the war on the gridiron.
