Resetting Ohio State's ideal roster, as Ryan Day explains Signing Day Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

On this Wednesday Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means share what they learned from Ryan Day's Signing Day news conference on Wednesday.

What does the flip to Texas for cornerback Terrance Brooks mean? That's actually kind of the man subject for individual players. But there's a long discussion of what Day thinks of how Ohio State should be using Name, Image and Likeness in recruiting,

And then the best part is Day sharing what he thinks is the ideal number of players at each position on the roster, and then the guys going through each position to discuss the numbers and quality at each spot. But there's some weird, random talk in here, too.
