Ohio State Basketball Recruiting Notebook: Buckeyes Hosting a Pair of Point Guards, The Sneaker Wars Re-Ignite

Arguably, the biggest concern surrounding the upcoming hoops season is how the new point guards will fare. It's not a question of talent, rather, how long it will take for them to acclimate themselves to the college game.

A.J. Harris and JaQuan Lyle will be the most inexperienced pair of Buckeye ball handlers since Thad Matta arrived in Columbus. Ohio State usually has a pretty smooth transition at the position, in terms of tenure – Jamar Butler to Mike Conley, back to Butler, to P.J. Hill and Jeremie Simmons, to Evan Turner, to William Buford and Aaron Craft, and to Shannon Scott and D'Angelo Russell.
