DAY TALKS RECRUITING CHARACTER
One of the main reasons the Buckeye football program has been doing such a great job on the recruiting front comes down to the energy and effort that the assistants put into building relationships. Their reputation is strong nationally for how full throttle they go at it on the recruiting trail, as countless recruits and parents have told us that Ohio State has a kitchen sink approach that leaves an impact.
“I will say that Ohio State is very aggressive with its recruiting. You hear from someone from Ohio State every day,” Randy Jackson, Domani's father, told Eleven Warriors previously. “They communicate not only with Domani but the family as well.”
Well, as Ryan Day said on his radio show on Wednesday, that's the coaches' main task at Ohio State.
“That’s their No. 1 job is to recruit and develop their players,” Day said. “Scheme and all that stuff, that comes later. The scheme’s a lot better when you have good players. So the No. 1 job for all these guys is to recruit.”
That has fed into a pair of classes in 2021 and 2022 that are going to be as good of back-to-back recruiting classes that you are going to see over the next two years.
“It’s a lot of momentum for us right now,” Day said. “It’s been hard because guys haven’t been able to visit, but we’re been trying to do the best we can to build these relationships virtually and stay in touch with them. I think people nationally are very, very excited about what we’re doing here. It’s been great. I think we’re getting really talented young men, but we’re also getting great families and adding to the culture, which is the most important especially in times like this. There’s a lot of excitement around the program right now and our assistant coaches, everybody involved in recruiting, Mark Pantoni, are on their A game and we wanna keep it going.”
