How should you view Ohio State football's 2026 recruiting class and future classes?

The Buckeyes have set a standard to annually have one of the nation's top-five classes. But given the many changes across the sport, should that still be the expectation? Or should that expectation remain, but the road to get there be viewed differently?

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Andrew Gillis try to break down what recruiting looks like in the modern era and how OSU fits into it. This conversation might get a little confusing, but maybe that mirrors exactly where things are in the sport right now.
