From his previous years at Florida to his current role as head coach of the Ohio State football team, Urban Meyer has learned a thing or two about the art of recruiting the nation’s top high school players. His latest masterpiece is the courting of the King. Yes, Meyer has told LeBron James that he wants him on the sideline at all seven Buckeyes home game this fall.  Apparently, Lebron’s open letter to the people of Cleveland resonated with Meyer, who was born in Toledo, Ohio, and he clearly sees this coming season as an ideal time to capitalize on LeBron’s fairytale return home.
