How will this affect recruits?

Garrett Wilson has already tweeted that he’s committed. I think most recruits will stay committed, the university recruits itself just like places like Alabama, Clemson, etc. and most recruits already know him anyway.

I would agree with most, that is true.

Urban Legend 7-0 vs Michigan as Ohio State's Head Coach. Terrific.
Let's hope Ryan Day is as good as Urban & Tressel. Hopefully the transition to Ryan Day goes as smoothly as Oklahoma's transition from Bob Stoops to Lincoln Riley.
Thank you Urban Meyer for the last 7 years. Some entertaining wins, some bone scratching losses, but what I will always remember is 7-0 vs Michigan

Great Coach, Great Leader, Great Recruiter and Great Motivator of all those under him. Ryan Day has been taught what great leaders do,,I only hope he has what it takes to continue what Urban started. Who Day hires and replaces going forward is what makes or breaks the program. It's not just the assistant coaches either. There's a large support staff and grad assistants that people have never heard of. One for instance is Mark Pantoni who is possibly the most important guy with regards to recruiting at OSU. This guy needs retained and paid accordingly. Same with Mickey Marrioti the strength coach. And there's a host of others that are very important. I would imagine a lot is already taken care of. It will be interesting to see if any assistants are cut loose,,,and who was the one doing it---Day or Meyer. The point I'm making is that I think for the most part Urban had a great sense of who to hire and fire. Minus a few guys like Smith who he held too long,,,but it's a major challenge selecting the right guys in your program and you can quickly take a down turn if too many bad hires are made---look no further than Ohio State basketball in about 2013 under Thad Matta when he lost great assistants and replaced with poor ones. Same can be said for Michigan where they had 2 poor head coaching hires,,,and a 3rd in Harbaugh looks shaky at best. The blueprint for success is there for Ryan Day---he's got a lot to live up to.

Several other recruits have already tweeted that they are still committed as well, including the two qb commits Miller and Mathis.

How will this affect recruits? 4 star safety Lejond Cavazos from IMH Academy decomitted I wouldn't get too excited with the few that impulsively decommit. As Urban mentioned, Ryan Day is going to hit the road to four states, touching base with commits and potential recruits. Sure he will be touching base with Lejond, hopefully pulling back into the fold.

Ohio State and Urban are undergoing this coaching change in the most opportune time and doing it in a smooth, seamless manner. Some on other sites, have suggested Ohio State should have undergone a thorough and lengthy, search process. Going that route is full of pitfalls, creating a void of uncertainty that would threaten the current recruiting commits and verbals and having a good share of Ohio State leans, looking elsewhere.
With recruiting among the foremost considerations, I think the offensive staff is going to be the least effected. I fully expect coach Day to retain Kevin Wilson OC/TE, Greg Studrawa OL, Tony Alford RB, Brian Hartline WR. On the defensive side, expect the retention of DL Larry Johnson, Alex Grinch DB, Taver Johnson CB and after that, expect new faces to replace Greg Schiano DC, and Bill Davis LB.
One big commonality of returning position coaches is they have done exceptional work on the recruiting front and will ensure Ohio State maintains it's elite recruiting status.

Sounds like Bill Davis is returning but Schiano may be looking elsewhere. IMO he would need a very strong Rose Bowl game to land a good job. His defense has been an trash can this season many times.

I’ve actually seen the opposite from some people on twitter, there’s some that think Davis and Schiano may both be out.

Just my opinion, I think Day should go see if someone like AJ Hawk or James Laurinaitis would be interested in coaching the linebackers. They both have NFL experience, are young enough that they’d relate well to players I think and a lot of recruits may know a lot about them. And they’d obviously know what it takes to play at Ohio state and win the rivalry game.

OL Jake Wray has decommitted Jake's brother Max is with the Buckeyes and Jake said he needs to re-evaluate his decision. He said Ohio State is still one of his top schools of choice. He love's Urban and Stud, who were instrumental in his decision to choose Ohio State. No doubt, Ryan will have Studrawa on a road visit, to bring him back in the fold.

Don’t know but what if they turn out great at it? Just because Jordan and magic weren’t great at it doesn’t mean everyone won’t be. I don’t think it can be any worse than what Billy Davis was doing.

This is Ohio State, prove yourself worthy elsewhere, then maybe you will warrant consideration. Urban admitted using his heart and not his head, in the Zach ordeal. He did it again with Bill Davis.

Marcus Freeman has UC LB's playing very well. I've watched them a couple times. I'm sure he'd get a pay raise at OSU.
One guy who had a great coaching year is Brian Hartline. Seemed like the WR's were open more and caught a higher % of passes than in years past. Obviously DH had something to do with it,,,but I think all the WR's really improved over the course of the season. When Mack went down in pops Olave who exceeded expectations when the injury to Mack happened. He's a little bit skinny as a true Freshman. Sky's the limit for him going forward. You haven't heard B hartline name mentioned a whole lot,,but I think he brings a lot of energy as a coach and the players seem to really respond to him. He's red hot on the recruiting trail also.
