Plenty of 2023 recruits heard their phone ring Wednesday.
Sept. 1 marked the first time Ohio State coaches could directly contact juniors in high school to have recruiting-related conversations, and the Buckeyes staff was pretty busy throughout the day.
Although many more recruits were surely contacted, Eleven Warriors was able to confirm the Buckeyes reached out to OSU targets AJ Harris, Sonny Styles, Kayin Lee, Samson Okunlola, Payton Kirkland, Clay Wedin, Keith Sampson Jr., TJ Shanahan and Sharif Denson.
