When instate basketball star [autotag]Devin Royal[/autotag] committed to [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag], it was a massive recruiting win for head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag]. Not only did the Buckeyes get a commitment from a top-50 player, but they also kept Royal away from other [autotag]Big Ten[/autotag] schools like Michigan, Penn State, [autotag]Illinois[/autotag], and Wisconsin.
Although Royal isn’t the top signee of the class, Kansas small forward Scotty Middleton is, he’s part of a four-man class that ranks as one of the best in the country. As Royal finishes out his high school career at [autotag]Pickerington Central[/autotag], he continues to show why he’s the best in the state.
On Friday night, Royal was absolutely dominant, scoring 40 points and leading the Tigers to a 73-58 win over [autotag]Reynoldsburg[/autotag]. Check out the highlights below of Royal’s massive game.
