Recruit follows new Ohio St. coach from Butler

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- New Ohio State basketball coach Chris Holtmann has persuaded a top prospect to follow him from Butler to the Buckeyes.

The school said Monday that 6-foot-8 forward Kyle Young has signed to play for the Buckeyes next season. Young, a three-time Associated Press All-Ohio performer from Massillon, was recruited by Holtmann and previously had committed to him at Butler.

"We are very excited to add Kyle to the 2017 class," Holtmann said in a statement. "His versatility, motor and work ethic make him a great addition to our program. We really look forward to getting him to campus to join his teammates.
