Lewis gets a nice mention from his new coach

...But they did, landing Bowling Green stud Ron Lewis as a transfer. Lewis, who Matta calls the best redshirt he's ever had in his coaching career, could be the Buckeyes' leading scorer next season. He has improved his dribble-drive-and-shoot game, rebounded well in practice and apparently was as intense a competitor as the Buckeyes had in practice last season.

Ohio State also added two players who should have an impact in 2005-06: shooting guard Sylvester Mayes of Redlands CC (Calif.) and power forward Brayden Bell of Brighton High in Salt Lake City.

"We were scrambling when we got the job," Matta said. "We showed up at the ABCD camp [in New Jersey] with no gear on [i.e., logos on the golf shirts]. We didn't know our team. We had no idea what we needed.

"When we got the release on Ron [who is from the area] we were like, 'Who is Ron Lewis?' – because we had no idea," Matta said. "The next question was, 'Why didn't we recruit him to Xavier?' But he turned out to be a great player for us, the player who helped us get better in practice. Then we got Sylvester Mayes and Brayden Bell, a player we had targeted at Xavier."

What. Hope Ron is happy at OSU , we miss his athletism but not his attitude. I'd like to hear more about our recruiting class myself. Any more news about new signees or anything? I thought we had even more schollies to give out.

I hope I never have to see another thread titled with his name on this site again. He moved on, every bit I did care about him went out the window when he became a suckeye. I hope others feel the same way.

On a positive note, Mr. Vandemeer was sporting his Anderson Animals shirt around today! While he is still here, I can't hate on him.

Does this mean his dad only has one more gawd awful trip to BG, that being to pick up his son at the end of the semester? I hope it doesn't put him out or anything.
