00:00I'm going to ask you one more question before we move on.

00:01Brian Hartline, not because he's going to South Florida.

00:04I don't know how good a coach he is, but a great recruiter.

00:06And you put him in the state of Florida, now he can recruit.

00:08I think that's pretty good.

00:09But talk to me about Ohio State.

00:10They just had one of the best wide receivers in the country still stay with them, even

00:14though Hartline left.

00:15That's a big loss.

00:16That guy was an absolute machine in recruiting.

00:19It really was.

00:20He's got the play calling duties and elevated this team.

00:23And Julian Sane, and you talk about bringing in the talent to Ohio State.

00:27It was all Hartline, right?

00:29Now you lose that, and obviously now more pressure on Ryan Day to maintain that momentum.

00:34It was always thought that if Ryan Day ever left or they ever terminated Ryan Day, it would

00:39be Brian Hartline, the former standout wide receiver.

00:43But again, we'll see what he can do at South Florida.

00:45Goal is set a standard.

00:47We saw Jeff Scott go from Clemson to USF.

00:50Couldn't live up to the hype.

00:52We'll see if Hartline, who has no previous head coaching experience, elevates this program.

00:57But I can tell you this, he'll recruit some talent in South Florida away from the likes

01:03of John Summerall in Florida, and more importantly, obviously, Florida State and Mike Norvell.
