I dancing all over the Internet trying to find all I could about Ohio State’s new basketball recruit P.J. Hill.
Hill signed with the Buckeyes on Friday and will be added to the roster right away.
As a freshman point guard for Midland (Texas) Community College, Hill helped the team win the NJCAA National Basketball Championship. It was the school’s second National Championship and their first since 1982.
Hill was not a scoring machine or even a notable scorer on his team last year, however coach Thad Matta must of liked something about Hill because he offered him a scholarship. An OSU assistant, John Groce, saw Hill at a camp last weekend for junior-college players. Hill must of impressed because he had scholarship offers from Butler and Eastern Washington after his performance at the camp.
Hill wasn’t offered a scholarship out of high school.
Anyways while I was looking for information on the point guard I found some interesting web pages on some former players:
Greg Oden
Ted Ginn Jr.
Troy Smith
-Even though I hate his new team. I’m interested in Troy Smith’s development in Baltimore and his player page is an easier way to do it, rather than going to the ugly purple team’s website.
I put the links on the Blogroll, which is on the right side of the screen.

Ugly purple team, huh…? Isn’t that the same team that has a murderer playing linebacker? Yeah, they suck. I’ll root for Smith as an individual player, but his team can kiss my bengal-striped ass.
As for Hill, I think that it’ll be exciting to see what this guy brings to the table. Not a huge scorer? Well, maybe he just moves the ball around like a champion, bringing to life the skills and talents of the other four players on the court. Freshman starter perhaps?
Hill averaged around 6.6 points a game. He won’t be a starter and he won’t be a freshman. He would a sophomore and backup senior Jamar Butler. So, we should see Hill get some playing time. The point guard was a big need that wasn’t filled in the incoming recruiting class.
OSU YOU SHOULD BE VERY EXITED ABOUT MY BROTHER PJ HILL, HE IS AN EXPLOSIVE GUARD…HE WASN’T A HUGE SCORER IN HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE BECAUSE HE IS AS UNSELFISH AS THEY COME… HE COULD HAVE EASILY GONE TO A HORRIBLE HIGH SCHOOL AND AVERGED 30 A GAME… BUT HE IS A WINNER SO HE WENT TO A SCHOOL THAT WAS STACKED AT EVERY POSITION JUST SO HE COULD WIN…OSU YOU CAN EXPECT BIG THINGS FROM PJ RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE HE IS JUST AS GOOD OFFENSIVELY AS CONLEY AND DEFENSIVELY HE CAN LOCK UP ANYONE IN THE NCAA
