Buckeyes ink three ESPN 100 prospects

Ohio State officially landed a RecruitingNation Top 40 class on Thursday with the announcement of four student-athletes signing letters of intent.

Joining the Buckeyes in 2014 will be ESPN 100 SG D'Angelo Russell (Louisville, Ky./Montverde), ESPN 100 SF Keita Bates-Diop (Bloomington, Ill./University), ESPN 100 SF Jae'Sean Tate (Pickerington, Ohio/Central) and three-star center David Bell (Garfield Heights, Ohio/Garfield Heights).

Ohio State head coach Thad Matta landed a verbal commitment from ESPN 100 C Payton Dastrup (Mesa, Ariz./Mountain View) last week, but Dastrup changed his mind on Wednesday and signed with BYU.
