COLUMBUS, Ohio -- At some point soon we'll start turning our attention to Ohio State's 2017 season, but we had another recruiting topic to hit in this week's Buckeye Talk Podcast.

Tom Herman vs. Ohio State for the best players in Texas.

To be clear from the jump, Herman wants to keep every program away from Texas' best prospects. It's not just Ohio State. But the Buckeyes took three of the top six players in the state last year, and have their sights on similar Texas talents again in the 2018 cycle.

Since Urban Meyer arrived at Ohio State, the program has signed nine Texas players. Eight of them are four-star or better, and two are five-star prospects. Texas has been good to Ohio State. When is that going to change?

We discussed Ohio State's presence in Texas, how Herman could change things and what that means for the future of Ohio State recruiting the state in our newest podcast. Give it a listen below:
