Ohio State has multiple areas to focus on when it comes to rebuilding a championship roster. On the recruiting front, it's a blend of elite Ohioans and out-of-state targets of note. So today we drill down on an Ohioan - defensive back Rock Hill - and a litany of those not from the Buckeye State expected to visit soon. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to officiate.

Which Ohio State products have helped themselves most at the NFL combine? And how many Buckeyes do we expect will be selected in next month's draft? Georgia set the record with 15 in 2022. Will Ohio State tie the Bulldogs? Perhaps set the record with 16 or even 17 players drafted? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State players have found success when traveling to Indianapolis in the past. This week could be equally impactful ... to their bottom line. Fifteen Buckeyes descend on Indy for the NFL's annual Draft Combine. Doctors will poke and prod. Buckeyes will run and jump. NFL brass will get Buckeyes of interest behind closed doors. Who is going to shine? The People's Champ - Matt Baxendell - joined today's show despite his usual partner (Dave Biddle) deciding to chase the Reds in Arizona this week. Bax helps us dive deep on the talent show for the NFL before a long, intense discussion on the future of the College Football Playoff. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

No more TreVeyon Henderson. No more Qunishon Judkins. We've grown accustomed to great running back play here and the expectations for James Peoples and West Virgina transfer C.J. Donaldson are sky-high for the title defense season coming up. But this is Ohio State. We also need a future so bright you need to wear shades. Given that, meet Savion Hiter. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are back to discuss Hiter, the nation's No. 1 running back and big-time Ohio State target. Let's just say our resident scout was impressed and you will be, too. That's not all. We chat about a New Jersey defensive end you want first off the bus and several key Ohio targets. Plus, we let you know where our focus lies for the week ahead.

How long have you been listening to the dulcet tones of Bucknuts' audio exploits? Those of you that have fought the good fight since the beginning were here for the 'Bucknuts 90' radio show based in Dayton. Sunday mornings haven't been the same since the show ended with host Mark Neal relocating to Minneapolis. He's back! Mark and Dan Rubin head down memory lane before diving deep on the current Buckeyes and all things Ohio State - even basketball! We aim to fill the void left by Monday mainstay Dave Biddle, who may or may not be chasing down his beloved Cincinnati Reds in Arizona as we speak. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

There is much debate on how the future of the College Football Playoff will and should look. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle give their opinions on how the CFP should be shaped moving forward, in terms of how many teams make the cut, how the seeding is determined and all the rest. We also look ahead to spring ball which is less than a month away for the Buckeyes. Also, unfortunately it appears as though Steve Helwagen was correct at this time last year when he told then-athletic director Gene Smith that OSU's basketball program was "dead on the vine." Smith didn't like the comment, but the truth hurts sometimes. The Buckeyes just suffered one of the most embarrassing losses we can remember, 70-49 at home against a bad Northwestern team. But don't worry, the vast majority of the show is about Buckeye football. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

New offensive line coach Tyler Bowen took over less than a week ago and has made his first offer. Is the offensive lineman from Ohio, California, Texas or Florida? No. Evan Goodwin is from the recruiting hotbed of Bauxite, Arkansas! Of course! We dive deep (see: VIDEO) on the new offer as we try and learn what Bowen is looking for in an offensive lineman. We then broke down the recruitment of Elbert 'Rock' Hill from Akron Hoban. Guess who also wants Ohio's top-ranked Class of 2026 prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite.

The next transfer portal window is almost two months away. April 16-25 to be exact. Ohio State has already landed an impressive crop of transfers to its 2025 roster.

It is not a name we expected when Jim Knowles headed for Happy Valley. Former Detroit Lions head coach and longtime New England Patriots assistant coach Matt Patricia is Ohio State's new defensive coordinator. Patricia is a polarizing figure. What do Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter think of the hire? We dive deep. Other topics include Adam Guthrie's recent Crystal Ball activity and resetting Class of '26 priorities.

We know the names: Julian Sayin, Lincoln Kienholz, Tavien St. Clair. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter join to wax poetic on that tussle for snaps.

There was a lot of smoke over the last week that Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen might join Ryan Day's staff at Ohio State. However, that no longer appears to be in the cards. So, what will Day do and when will he do it? Well, there is really no rush, although we know he won't wait too much longer. Will the final plan be to promote Matt Guerrieri and Tim Walton to co-DCs? What do we think of the other coaching moves that Day has made since winning the national championship? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin tackle that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

It is a coordinator-themed edition of the show today as Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss Brian Hartline being promoted to offensive coordinator (even though he already held that title) and what might happen with Ohio State's defensive coordinator position. Is Ryan Day -- who just agreed to a seven-year contract extension yesterday that will pay him $12.5 million per season -- waiting to hire Joe Cullen? Might there be co-defensive coordinators with Cullen and someone currently on the staff? That and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We are happy to welcome back Gee Scott Sr. to the Bucknuts Morning 5 today. How high is the standard within Ohio State's football program? Well, we all know it is very high, but as he is known to do, Mr. Scott aka The Buckeye Preacher articulated it perfectly. The standard is 'Straight A's across the board." Why? Because there "Ain't no B-plus in Buckeye Nation." That is just a sprinkling of the wisdom and insight that Gee brings to the show. He and Dave Biddle discuss the national championship run and Gee Scott Jr. being a valuable cog as the starting tight end and much more. That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State is currently searching for an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Leave your resume at the door. Should we be panicked that those openings exist?

Ohio State's new defensive coordinator -- whoever that might end up being -- will inherit just three returning starters. Those three players are very good -- Caleb Downs, Davison Igbinosun and Sonny Styles -- but this will be the first time in recent memory that the Buckeyes will have eight new starters on the defensive side of the ball.

How does Ohio State defend the crown? It's a process. Recruiting. Portal time. Internal development. We'll track all of it this offseason. Why not start today? How does Jim Knowles leaving affect recruiting? Which QBs are getting Ohio State coaches to visit? Which offensive linemen have seen Justin Frye at their high school?

Well, we thought there was a good chance Jim Knowles would not return as Ohio State's defensive coordinator next season. But we did not initially see him jumping to another Big Ten team. However, on Sunday, it was revealed that Knowles will take the same position at Penn State. What led to this? Who are some possible candidates to replace him at OSU?

The similarities between Ohio State's 2014 and 2024 national championships are striking. Each team was left for dead multiple times during the regular season, only to go on a magical postseason run and prove all of their doubters extremely wrong. 2014 of course featured the first season of the 4-team College Football Playoff and the eventual national champs were the final team to make it. Ten years later, the 12-team CFP was born ... and the Buckeyes won that one, too. After being the lowest-seeded team to host a first-round game (seed No. 8). There are more we can point to as well, but those are a few. This brought to mind a question: Which coaching job was the best? 2014 or 2024? And you can't just say "Yes." You have to pick one. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle do exactly that on today's show, plus discuss the Jim Knowles situation, teams coming after Carnell Tate and much more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We could get used to these post-title winning vibes. Nothing like earning the hardest-fought title in college football history. So what comes next? Lots of kudos and today we loaded the stocking for Justin Frye. Often vilified, the offensive line coach ultimately crafted a coaching performance worthy of infinite praise. We also dove deep on the transfer portal and key, impending decisions. Want video breakdowns from the natty W? We have that, too.
