Ohio State Buckeyes basketball may be on the decline due to the loss of All-American point guard and the NBA’s second-overall pick D’Angelo Russell, but JaQuan Lyle is doing everything he can to erase that notion.

The Buckeyes guard posted a video of himself executing an unbelievable windmill dunk on his personal Twitter account, and the video has since been featured on CollegeSpun.

The video consists of Lyle doing his windmill dunk in super-slow motion, which gives the viewer even more time to process the fact that a guard is somehow pulling off this move. Lyle is part of a talented recruiting class for the Buckeyes, and he was rated as a five-star prospect by Rivals. He clearly possesses All-American potential, judging by his athleticism and prospect rating.

His stats also indicate that he is ready to produce right away at the college level, as he averaged 17 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game in the 2013-14 season. He will have big shoes to fill though, as he will be asked to replace Russell. The current Lakers guard averaged 19.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in his freshman season at Ohio State.

The Buckeyes will look to build on their No. 10 seed in the 2015 NCAA Tournament that ended in a Round of 32 loss to Arizona. The rest of the Buckeyes’ recruiting class consists of shooting guard Austin Grandstaff, point guard A.J. Harris, power forward Mickey Mitchell and center Daniel Giddens. Each of them have been rated as four-star recruits by every major college recruiting website, including Scout, 247Sports and ESPN.
