Ohio State's already excellent recruiting class of 2021 got even stronger on Friday when five-star running back TreVeyon Henderson committed to the Buckeyes.

That's what we devote the first 46 minutes of this week's episode of Real Pod Wednesdays to discussing, including how Henderson's commitment completes a phenomenal month on the recruiting trail for Ohio State running backs coach Tony Alford, how Ohio State's recruiting class of 2021 has a chance to be its best ever and which other assistant coaches have led the way in building what could be an all-time great class.

After that, we take a look back at Ryan Day's teleconference with reporters last week – his first conversation with the media since the coronavirus outbreak shut down spring practices – and how Day and his staff are doing what they can to help players, whether his hope for additional summer practices is realistic and why he isn't worrying about a potential cancellation of college football season yet.

We also discuss the NCAA's decision to approve another year of eligibility for spring sports athletes, but not for winter sports athletes; take a look back at some of the moments from Ohio State's 2019-20 in sports that stood out most to us, to go along with Eleven Warriors' Year in Review series; and answer a full batch of reader questions, including which teams could benefit from other teams losing practices, whether Kaleb Wesson will stay or go to the NBA and where we'd like to go in a time machine.
