If you look atop the college basketball recruiting rankings on any given year, you won’t be surprised to find the usual suspects. Duke, Kentucky, UNC, Kansas and the rest of the sport’s blue bloods dominate year in and year out. As things tend to go in the NCAA, you are either a football school or a basketball school, and it is incredibly tough to see sustained success in one — let alone both.
Ohio State would obviously fall into the football school category, finding themselves in the top five nationally in recruiting on the gridiron nearly every year.
