What E.J. Liddell's Commitment Means for Ohio State Basketball

Ohio State has had the top recruiting class in the Big Ten for months, having landed five-star point guard D.J. Carton in July and and four-star forward Alonzo Gaffney in May.

The Buckeyes were not quite done, though.

Somehow, some way, Chris Holtmann added four-star forward E.J. Liddell to the already loaded class on Monday to give Ohio State three top-50 recruits for the first time since 2010, when Thad Matta landed Jared Sullinger (No. 4), Deshaun Thomas (No. 19) and Jordan Sibert (No. 41).

Liddell's commitment came just a little over a month after he used his official visit on Ohio State.
