Glad Tayler decided to wear S&G in college. I enjoyed watching the gals play down the stretch and with Prahalis, Lavender and the other returnees adding Hill with a good outside game is great news, it's good to be a Buckeye

Tayler Hill, the Minneapolis South girls? basketball star who rewrote the Minnesota record book, played in four state tournaments and finished her storied high school career with a state championship, will end one of the longest recruiting sagas in state history today by announcing that she will play college basketball at Ohio State.

Awesome! When I read about the setup for her announcement, I thought for sure she was Gopher.

Welcome, Tayler!

I don't hear the chirps I heard after last season of Foster not being able to recruit, playing slow ball and not being able to compete outside of the big ten, and the get rid of Foster, the game has past him by...

He is taking this program to the national level...We have multiple mcdonalds all americans, shoudl be a top 5 team in the country next year, and especially the year after could be an even better team...

Women's basketball: Buckeyes land top guard Hill
Recruit's brother also plays for OSU

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The Ohio State women's basketball team hit what amounted to a buzzer-beating recruiting shot yesterday by landing Minneapolis South guard Tayler Hill, the top guard remaining in the 2009 class.

The sister of Ohio State men's point guard P.J. Hill, she chose the Buckeyes over Texas and Minnesota.

A McDonald's All-American and two-time Minnesota player of the year, Hill scored 47 points in leading South to a 68-61 victory over Centennial this season in the state 5-A championship game.

Bret McCormick of All Star Girls Report called it a major signing for coach Jim Foster and the Buckeyes, who won a fifth consecutive Big Ten championship this season and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

McCormick said Hill, 5 feet 10, will fit nicely with point guard Samantha Prahalis, a sophomore next season, and All-America center Jantel Lavender, who will be a junior.

"Those are three future WNBA first-round picks," said McCormick, who said that Maryland and North Carolina tried but failed to enter the picture late in the recruiting process.

Chirp. I know that you are referring to me as one of those. If they are one of the top 5 teams in the country next year, I will be shocked. You still have to remember that Taylor will only be a freshman and I still go back to the point that they need some perimeter shooters so other teams do not active in on Lavender.

I can see them being a very good team this season after next but Foster Bender be recruiting a post player to take over/help for Janetel during her senior season and to be prepared when she graduates. We are short on post players and Janetel only has two more years left as you well know.

I wouldn't give too much credit to Foster for landing Taylor because you might want to give some of that credit to Matta for recruiting P.J.

Yeah he will need another post, that will come next year...he already has a top PF in Darcye Moore, J.t.'s sister...

I don't have much of a problem with the outside shooting...Sammy will improve, Johnson, Moeller, Stokes...What would be huge is if Little could develop more of a jump shot to go with her defensive skills and her quickness...Harmon also shoots the ball well along with Schulze who should see lots of pt next year...

and Foster should get a lot of the credit, probably more than the [censored] he catches when a top tier girl leaves the state to play at a uconn, UT, etc where there was nothing he could really do about it...

[LitlBuck]

I agree that if our outside shooting improves next year we should be pretty good but there are so many strong women's programs across the country that he just makes it very difficult for Ohio State. I don't understand why Schultze did not get very much playing time this year until the end of the season.

Seems that Foster has turned the corner in recruiting and cleared a hurdle in the NCAA tourney........great pick-up............
