You have heard by now, but the recruiting dead period is finally set to come to an end on June 1. As a result, dozens upon dozens of the nation’s top prospects will be flocking to Columbus this summer as Ryan Day and his staff try to make a lasting impression in their first official visits since the start of the pandemic.
Right now, that first weekend in June is set to be ‘Buckeye Bash 2.0’, where Ohio State will host all of its current commits in the 2022 class as well as some of its other remaining top targets. However, that is not the only busy recruiting weekend to look forward to in the first month of what will be an in-person recruiting frenzy. Here is how the current schedule of visits shakes out as we stand at this moment.
