Was that Halloween party worth it? If you’re an Ohio State Buckeye fan, I highly doubt it.

You might have missed out on the comeback victory, but do you want to know who didn’t? A long list of top high school recruits from across the country that were on campus on Saturday to watch the Big Ten foes mix it up.

Quick Hits

• On Sunday evening the Ohio State basketball program offered Dublin Coffman (OH) point guard Dominiq Penn. One of the top 2020 prospects in the state of Ohio, Penn is the son of OSU great Scoonie Penn.
• Chris Holtmann and crew also offered 2020 prospects Ethan Morton (Butler, PA/Butler Area), and Zach Loveday (Gallipolis, OH/Gallia Academy) scholarships last night. Morton, a 6’1 point guard, now has scholarship offers on the table from not just OSU, but also programs like Iowa, Penn State, and West Virginia, while the 6’11 Loveday picked up an early offer from Purdue over the summer.
