The implementation of the Transfer Portal, as well as the growth of NIL has transformed college football in a big way, nowhere more than in recruiting. 

Mark Pantoni, the General Manager, Player Personnel for Ryan Day's Ohio State football program, just appeared on Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast to discuss the challenges of roster construction, high school recruiting, and acquiring and keeping players in the Transfer Portal era.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss their biggest takeaways from Pantoni's comments, including the mixture of players they're looking for, the increased importance of recruiting close to home, and why coming in second place for some top prospects might not sting quite as badly as it used to.
