The Buckeyes already have a commit out of the state of Alabama with Na’eem Offord, a rare occurrence through the years.
But Ohio State just had Malik Autry on campus along with Zion Grady and continues to push for Micah DeBose.
For a state that Ohio State has lightly recruited through the years, this is a major course correction.

Is it a case of the departure of Nick Saban? Is it just a case of these players being more receptive than past players have been? Or is it something else?
All of that and more on this edition of the Big Me Kickoff as we also talk about a surprise visitor this weekend and the state of the Ohio State men’s basketball roster.
