The Ohio State football program is trying to figure out a way forward without perhaps its best recruiter. Brian Hartline is now in South Florida, so the Buckeyes need to replace his recruiting prowess. No one was able to bring in the number of five-star recruits year-after-year that he could.
Cortez Hankton is charged with leading the receiver room now. He is also the lead recruiter when it comes to bringing in high school talent at that position. Without Hartline on staff, some fans of the Buckeyes have been worried that the recruiting will slow down at the receiver spot.
