SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S BEST 100 GAME STRETCH EVER, TOP RECRUITERS BRIAN HARTLINE AND JEFF HAFLEY, AND TACKLING PRACTICE

BEST DAMN RECRUITERS IN THE LAND.
As much as I loved the Ryan Day hire, I I had strong doubts that he and his staff could ever match what Urban Meyer's Ohio State teams did on the recruiting trail.

Folks, I may have been wrong!

Ryan Day's first-ever recruiting class currently sits at No. 3 in the nation thanks to two guys Tom VanHaaren of ESPN has as the best recruiter and fifth-best recruiter in the country.

1. Brian Hartline

Ohio State wide receivers coach

Top recruit landed: WR Julian Fleming

Hartline is a younger coach who already has made a big impact on the field with the receivers as well as on the recruiting trail. Hartline was the primary recruiter with the five-star receiver Fleming, who committed to Ohio State in May.

Fleming is the No. 4 prospect in the country, the second-highest-ranked recruit to announce his commitment, and the highest-ranked receiver in the class. Hartline also played an instrumental role in landing ESPN 300 athlete Mookie Cooper as well as ESPN 300 receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Gee Scott Jr., and he was the secondary recruiter with four-star receiver Cameron Martinez out of Michigan. Hartline is reloading his receiver room with some outstanding prospects in this class.

5. Jeff Hafley

Ohio State co-defensive coordinator

Top recruit landed: CB Clark Phillips III

Hafley already has helped improve Ohio State's defense on the field, and now he is making an impact in recruiting with a ton of top recruits in Ohio State's class. Phillips is one, along with ESPN 300 safety Lejond Cavazos, who decommitted from the Buckeyes, then recommitted in April.

Getting Cavazos back on board was a big deal, and Hafley also has played a part in landing Lathan Ransom, Cody Simon, Cameron Martinez, Kourt Williams II and a few others in this class.

Ohio State is the only team in the country with two coaches even in the top-10 of these rankings, and the Buckeyes have the best one overall and the fifth-best. And neither of them have been full-fledged assistants at Ohio State for longer than two years.

Let's pray Ryan Day wasn't fibbing when he said he doesn't expect anyone on staff to be leaving anytime soon.

he left the NFL to join Day at OSU. I think he really enjoys teaching the college kids and is enjoying himself at OSU. They have a ton of talent to work with every day and that is not changing anytime soon. I think they can get him to stay for a few more years with a little $$$ incentive. Don't feel he's going anywhere after this year.

Throw some cash at me and I'll go to FSU! A well-oiled machine right there! You still get free shoes, right?

Dont forget the crab legs!

There’s only one place in America where Coach Hafley could find a local community that is as willing to turn a blind eye to what goes on at the football “facility”.

Have to put that last in quotes because they don’t have near the facilities that you’d expect.
