You asked and he's here to answer. The Dean of Ohio State Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, answers your questions from The Front Row message board on today's show.

A lot of ground is covered, including the ethics that come with being a recruiting reporter, the latest with Omari Abor, A.J.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

'Ryan Day took a blowtorch to that side of the ball' Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is not messing around this offseason. The Buckeyes had the No. 52 total defense in the country in 2021, and Day has overhauled his coaching staff on that side of the ball. In fact, only defensive line coach Larry Johnson remains as a holdover on the defensive staff. Everyone else is out, including linebackers coach Al Washington and Kerry Coombs. Coming to Columbus are safeties coach Perry Eliano from Cincinnati and cornerbacks coach Tim Walton -- a former OSU corner -- from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of the Buckeyes' coaching moves and more on the Friday 5ish.

Show notes

Ohio State added a coach this morning from nearby Cincinnati. Perry Eliano is the new safeties coach. What's Eliano's reputation? How is he on the recruiting trail? 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong knows Eliano well and has plenty to say about the addition.

Wiltfong also breaks down the addition of Justin Frye - an Indiana native - and how he could help bring more talent to the WHAC.

Also:

* Will Omari Abor stick with his Ohio State commitment?

* Is Christen Miller a legit option for the Buckeyes?
