"“When I went down there, they made a good impression on me…They were showing me around campus and everything. It was a better campus than I expected when I went. As far as recruiting me, they’re still trying to get at me but they understand I’m committed to Ohio State.Really just keep recruiting me hard and show me the culture’s changing. Show me that it’s actually changing. That’ll be it, really.”"
