Ohio St. Lands Top Recruit from Chicago Area

There were no Seniors on the 208-09 Ohio St. Men's Basketball Team that went 22-11 and lost in a thrilling double overtime game to Sienna in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. However, by the time the 2010-11 campaign rolls around, six seniors will have left eh Buckeye program.

That's why Head Coach Thad Matta is preparing ahead of time by getting a verbal commitment from High School Jr. phenom Lenzelle Smith; a four-star point guard from Waukegan, Ill and Zion-Benton Township High School.

Smith is seen by scouts as a multi-positional player whose best asset is passing the basketball. They say the areas he needs improvement on are ball handling along with speed and quickness.Smith is listed at 6'3, 215 lbs., but according to his god father, Smith is 6'5. It looks as if the Buckeyes will continue to roll in a couple of years if they can land more with the same kind of talent as Lenzelle Smith.
