For the last 15+ months, coaching staffs have been unable to host prospects for the ever-important official visits. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a seemingly never-ending dead period that prevented Ohio State and other programs from developing and cultivating the relationships that are paramount in the recruiting process. Instead, Zoom meetings have replaced the face-to-face time that's typically done in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Rejoice. The dead period is finally ending.
June 1 marks the beginning of a quiet period that will allow official visits and in-person meetings to take place at colleges across the country.
