The Opening is happening, in case you'd not been paying attention. The Buckeyes had five commitments invited, and four arrived – Kareem Walker did not make the trip – and they've been having a good ol' time in the Pacific Northwest.
The highlights? Let's look at 'em.
The Buckeyes were proactive, sending fresh new recruiting paraphernalia to their top targets.

How good is Jonathon Cooper? The answer: real damn good.
Best edge rusher may be Ohio State commit Jonathon Cooper, even though he couldn't wear pads today. Oluwole Betiku impressive as well
