Few coaches and programs can recruit at the consistently high level that Urban Meyer has reached at Ohio State, and with five consecutive top-seven recruiting classes, there's blue chip talent at every level of the Buckeyes depth chart.
That buried talent was hidden during the 2015 campaign, when 15 starters returned from a national title-winning team to fuel a 12-1 season. But 12 former Buckeyes were taken in the NFL draft earlier this month, highlighting the enormous rebuilding job Meyer has on his hands in Columbus.
Ohio State needs 14 new starters in total before kicking its 2016 season off against Bowling Green.
