Does Urb leaving hurt their recruiting?

Well he’s a piece of shit but also one of the greatest coaches of all time, so my money is on yes. 

Of course it does. Recruiting never drops off too far for them, though.

There is opportunity for Michigan to do better in Ohio. '19 class is a nice start to that end. 

Of course. For now at least.

Does a one-legged duck swim in a circle?

All the uncertainty surrounding Meyer's future did hurt their recruiting. It had slowed to a crawl since summer.

It will pick up now that a new coach has been named. Unlikely that it regains the consistent level it had under Meyer.

Well, OSU has always been a recruiting juggernaut and Urban has put a high priority on his assistants being able to recruit so I suspect they will continue to be strong here unless Day gets rid of people and/or brings in new staff, which I doubt he will beyond normal turnover with assistants leaving for other positions.  But, at the same time Urban has been a great recruiter his whole career so there's certainly a possibility it will take a step back, at least temporarily, and then Day's results on the field in the next few years will probably have an impact on that as well.

Forgive me because I can’t remember the article written, but I believe something was posted here a few months ago that Ohio State recruits were promised urban wasn’t going anywhere. I can’t imagine that will help them in this class alone. 

Did Tressel leaving hurt it? Osu gives extra benefits, as along as they do that and win. Nothing will change. 

Thank God for Lloyd Carr.  The only Michigan coach to beat that jerk. 

it should as we all know there will be come change over.

I imagine most of the offensive recruits will stay committed as Ryan Day was probably involved with a lot of them as the OC and now HC. The defensive recruits is where they might see decommits. 

OSU gets great recruits. Losing Urban Meyer may hurt them in certain locations but they will still get great athletes. He is a great coach and definitely had Michigan's number. I wish Michigan had beaten one of his teams.

Edit: Michigan did beat his Florida team. I was thinking of his OSU teams.

He should of announced prior to the playoff announcement. They probably would have given him one last hurrah ala Tom Osborne 

It should.  But then again it's OSU, so...probably not. 

It hurts their recruiting less than Pep Hamilton being employed hurts ours

OSU recruiting will be fine unless they start losing on a fairly regular basis. 

I am in the camp that it could help them even in this current cycle. He was a immoral cloud over the program that I think some parents wanted their kids to avoid. With him gone, I actually think it increases their chances of getting some kids that were being told to by their parents to think twice given the kind of person Urban is. 

They pulled a 5* WR from Austin? GTFOH with that shit.

Ryan Day vs. Urban Meyer...

Yep..it will have an impact. 

I think in the short term their recruiting will continue to be high, after all they are a football factory. That said, in the long term will they begin to slip? Will Day be able to pull in the high caliber coaches that Urban was? Time will tell. 

Can’t imagine it will help. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a player or two decommit

Recruiting is where the real difference will be. They aren’t getting perennial top two classes under him

Every transition creates uncertainty.  I think it negatively impacts this year, but probably not a ton long term.  Of course, unless OSU's defense shits the bed again and more Purdue's happen next year.  Day will clean house as well (Wilson and Schiano gone) which can be dicey for a first time head coach.

No, they’ll just double their payments to the kids. 

we'll find out November 30, 2019 in Ann Arbor.

Nope next question

His name is not Urb, or Urbs, or Urbz. I don't understand the cute nicknames that UM fans give him.

I have a feeling Meyer to Day is going to be as seamless as Stoops to Riley.
