Summary
There's an old adage about the transfer of power: You don't want to replace The Guy. You want to the guy who replaces the guy who replaced The Guy.
Ryan Day won't have that luxury. He is replacing Urban Meyer (see: The Guy).
Can he pull it off? Time will tell.
Can he maintain Ohio State's recruiting momentum that actually started the day Urban was announced as Ohio State's coach on xxxxx.
We bring in Steve Wiltfong, director of recruiting for 247Sports, to get his opinion on how Day will fare with the current recruits and long term on the trail.
Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

| 0:49.7 | that a lot of people wanted to hire I would would just say, I was just wondering why Ohio State |
| 0:55.2 | didn't interview anybody. See how Ryan Day stacks up with other candidates that |
