Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

The future is so bright we gotta we (goodr) shades. We are talking quarterback and Ohio State, of course. Currently, the Buckeyes QB is an overflow talent situation and we are monitoring ... closely. On display this past weekend down the street from The Shoe at Upper Arlington High, the younger signal callers took the stage. Ohio ... QBs ... big stage ... must be time for future Buckeye Tavien St. Clair. The Class of 2025 star earned an Elite 11 invite with Bill Kurelic and other celebrities in attendance. We dive deep on QBs and a lot more with The Dean and the birthday boy - Mark Porter. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

It is NFL Draft week and that is cause for celebration. It will be a light year for Ohio State's standards with perhaps just five Buckeyes hearing their names called this week. However, that is perfectly fine with us because it means a bunch of guys came back who would have at least been second-day (second-third round) picks. Speaking of all those guys coming back, just how many OSU players will be drafted next year? If we set the over/under at 12.5, which way are you rolling? Also, center Felix Okpara is taking his basketball and going ... well ... not home. But he has decided Ohio State will no longer be his home as he entered the transfer portal yesterday. What led up to this? What do we think of the job that Jake Diebler is doing overall thus far? We close the show talking about Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. The more film we watch of him, the more impressed we are with his pocket presence. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Monday 5ish.

What did we learn about Ohio State's 2024 football team during spring ball? How do we feel about the Buckeyes heading into this season? Also, the transfer portal has been very quiet for OSU thus far. With heavy emphasis on the last two words of the previous sentence. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that in detail on the Friday 5ish.

It used to be a real easy answer. The question: Which state produces the best Division I football talent? It was always Florida, California and Texas. And those states still produce a ton of talent. But right now the state boasting the BEST talent is Georgia. And wouldn't ya know, Ohio State is doing work in the Bulldogs' backyard. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to dive deep on four elite Georgians that visited Ohio State this past weekend and each left with an offer (if they didn't have one already). Also, in honor of Devin Sanchez officially shutting down his recruitment, we show you why it's worth being totally geeked about the Houston, Texas native. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

The Dean on a Wednesday? How lucky are we? Yep, Bill Kurelic makes a surprise mid-week appearance to discuss the latest from the transfer portal and the recruiting trail. Is there an Ohio State exodus ahead? Could the Buckeyes possibly keep all five QBs? Will an Ohio QB head for the SEC? Who else could seeker greener pastures? Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

The Spring Game is in the books. The Spring Transfer Portal window opens today and will go on for two tumultuous weeks. We need a pair of guys to put everything in context, to show us the way.

What did we glean during Ohio State's spring practices? Do we have more questions than answers heading into the summer months? Also, the transfer portal window opens Tuesday. Where might the Buckeyes add a player or three? Where are they likely to lose a few players to the portal? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

What did we learn at Ohio State's spring game on Saturday? Do we have more questions than answers leaving spring and heading into the summer months? Dave Biddle hosted our postgame podcast, What We Learned Live, today from the press box at Ohio Stadium to detail what was gleaned today and throughout spring ball for the Buckeyes. Biddle is joined early in the show by Bill Kurelic who gives the latest intel on what is a big recruiting weekend for the Buckeyes. Toward the end of the show, Patrick Murphy and Steve Helwagen join the festivities live from Ohio Stadium. Enjoy this edition of What We Learned Live, Bucknutters!

Ohio State's spring game is tomorrow (noon ET; FOX) and we were very pleased to learn that after a brief "thudding-up" format to begin the scrimmage, that the Buckeyes will actually be tackling. Yes, real football! Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss that, plus: * Will Ohio State look to add players via the transfer portal when the window opens on Monday? * Is it a safe bet that the Buckeyes will lose a handful of scholarship players to the portal? * Is anyone else surprised that we're sitting here at the end of spring ball and we're having legit conversations about whether true freshman Julian Sayin is going to be the starting quarterback this year? We're not "sayin" he's going to be the starter, but just the fact that it is a serious discussion is something we did not see coming when spring ball kicked off. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

It is a big day on the Ohio State football beat as the media will meet with new running backs coach Carlos Locklyn for the first time at noon. Head coach Ryan Day will also field questions from reporters. As for Locklyn, he is inheriting an excellent room that is headlined by TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. However, the Buckeyes did just lose Dallan Hayden to the portal. Does this mean OSU needs to find a running back via the portal, simply for depth purposes? It is one of the many questions we are curious to hear Locklyn and Day answer today. Also, is there fire to go along with all of this Julian Sayin smoke? Sources we trust continue to tell us yes and it will be interesting to see how the true freshman quarterback performs at Saturday's spring game. Speaking of the spring game, there are still some details to be ironed out, but we now know most of the format. Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle will explain said format on today's show. And we will close with some quick OSU basketball discussion. What players from the portal is Jake Diebler most likely to land and how many players from the portal will the Buckeyes end up signing? All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

The Spring Game is almost here and the recruiting guest list is red carpet worthy, indeed. Who better to get you up to speed on all the names than 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins? We dive deep on freshman Jeremiah Smith with the Florida-based Ivins before breaking down numerous '25 and '26 prospects. Then it's Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter to talk Marquise Davis and the huge weekend ahead. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State's spring game is just five days away and we are of course anxious to see a lot of things from the Buckeyes on Saturday. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle talk in-depth about OSU football on today's show and what we are most curious to see from the Scarlet & Gray. First and foremost, will there be any separation between Devin Brown and Will Howard at quarterback? Or will that competition continue in preseason camp? We will also field questions from our live audience about Buckeye football. We will finish the show talking some college basketball. Ohio State is going hard after Bronny James and OSU is the slight betting favorite to land him. How much would you like to see LeBron's son suit up for the Buckeyes? Also, is Purdue going to end the Big Ten's 24-year drought of not winning a national championship tonight against UConn? It will be a tough task as the Boilermakers are 7-point underdogs to the defending champs. And John Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas? We did not see that coming. Not like a certain eclipse that will happen today. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Spring ball has flown by pretty fast and Ohio State will hold its annual spring game next Saturday at Ohio Stadium (noon ET; FOX). With a little more than one week remaining, what questions have been answered for the Buckeyes this spring? What questions remain unanswered? Do we think the offensive line can be national championship-caliber this season? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle tackle that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

We have a new running backs coach in Carlos Locklyn. Did he bring any recruiting faves from his Oregon stint to the table? He did. Does Locklyn have a bead on backs that were already on the Ohio State radar? He does. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to get you up to speed all of those targets. We also dive deep on impending visitors like tight end Nate Roberts, offensive lineman Avery Gach and more. PLENTY of other topics were broached thanks to LIVE questions from the BM5 chat crew.

Ryan Day allowed Tony Alford to decide how to divide the playing time at running back for Ohio State, so we presume the same will be true with Carlos Locklyn coaching the Buckeyes' RBs. Day has not been shy about calling it "the best running back room in the country" and that begs a question: How will the carries be divided between TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins? Are we expecting something in the 50/50 range presuming they both stay healthy? How much action will Dallan Hayden see this year? What about true freshman James Peoples? Also, the more we hear about Locklyn, the more we are impressed. Does he have one of the most interesting backgrounds of any Ohio State coach in recent memory? We sure think so and we cannot wait to interview him when he arrives in Columbus. We think Day hit another home run here in what has been an incredible offseason for his program. Speaking of interviewing Ohio State coaches and players, here is the list of names that will be available after practice today at 11:15 a.m: Judkins, Hayden, James Laurinaitis, Matt Guerrieri, Caleb Downs, Josh Simmons and Mitchell Melton. It has not taken Laurinaitis long to show his recruiting chops and zero Bucknutters are surprised about that. Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss all of that on today's show. Also, what is Bax's take on the quarterback situation for the Buckeyes? That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

The last time we convened with our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter, we previewed a weekend that could potentially produce a commitment or two. Well ... how about four?

There is tons of Ohio State football information to discuss on today's show with Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin. What were our biggest takeaways from the Buckeyes' scrimmage on Saturday? What do we think about the news that OSU is on the verge of hiring Carlos Locklyn as running backs coach? And if you blinked, you likely missed the Buckeyes landing a 2025 recruiting commitment over the last few days. A total of four 2025 prospects committed in just the last three days: linebacker Tarvos Alford, defensive lineman London Merritt, wide receiver De'Zie Jones and safety Deshawn Stewart. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

There is a lot of hype surrounding Ohio State true freshman quarterback Julian Sayin. Are we buying it? How about you ask us that after tomorrow's scrimmage, all of which is open to the media? No, we will discuss that on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle. Also on the docket: * How do we feel overall about the QB position for the Buckeyes this season? * Other than the QBs, what are we most curious about regarding the scrimmage tomorrow? * Two young defensive tackles who are on the rise are Kayden McDonald and Jason Moore. * What's the latest with the search for a new RB coach?

We are thrilled to welcome back Monica Daniels -- Paris Johnson Jr.'s mother -- to the show today to get her unique perspective on a multitude of topics. Does Paris help Ohio State in the recruitment of offensive linemen? He is not allowed to do certain things per NCAA rules, but he is allowed to talk to recruits when they are on campus and things of that nature. What advice does Monica give to parents of recruits who are considering the Buckeyes? What has this ride been like for Monica and her family, with Paris becoming an All-American at OSU and then becoming the No. 6 overall pick of the draft by the Arizona Cardinals? (And playing every snap for the Cardinals as a rookie.) Monica also fields a few questions from our subscribers, such as "Did Paris know during or after the 2022 TTUN game that they were stealing our signs and cheating?" As well as "Do the parents still do gatherings at home and road games like you all did? Do you still participate in those?" All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State is loaded at several positions with talent and depth in 2024. Wide receiver and cornerback each would have a salient argument as to why they should be atop the list. And one of the most interesting aspects of the open practice windows this spring -- all two of them -- has been watching the Buckeyes' wideouts and corners go head-to-head. If "iron sharpens iron" then the Buckeyes are going to come to battle with the most-piercing of weapons. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus: * Will any wide receiver other than these four play a relatively big role for the Buckeyes this fall: Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Jeremiah Smith? Typically under Brian Hartline, there is a four-man rotation. Do we expect anything different this year? * The search for Ohio State's new running backs coach rolls on. Did DeMarco Murray "play" OSU? Who might the Buckeyes turn to next? * It's a big recruiting weekend for OSU with several top prospects dropping by the WHAC to watch practice and more. What piques JBook's interest the most about some of these top recruits and where the Buckeyes stand with them? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Josh Pate reported on Tuesday that "Kadyn Proctor returning to Alabama isn't even top-3 of wildest portal rumblings this week." Pate went on to say fans across the country likely are not prepared for how crazy this particular transfer portal window will be. Might this also affect Ohio State? In what way? On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * Who might be the next running backs coach for the Buckeyes? Might it be DeMarco Murray? * Day seems confident OSU will upgrade from Tony Alford and calls it the "best running back room in the country." * Josh Fryar continues to draw praise from Day.

Jake Diebler had the interim tag removed and will be Ohio State's head men's basketball coach. Diebler signed a 5-year contract yesterday and will have his introductory press conference today at the Schott. Do we think this was a good decision by Ross Bjork and the Buckeyes? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that on today's show. Also, spring football practice resumes on Tuesday after OSU took last week off for spring break. The media will interview Ryan Day following practice on Tuesday. This will be his first time addressing the media since the departure of Tony Alford for Michigan, so that of course will be a main focus of the press conference. Also, what is Day's timetable for replacing Alford? How many interviews does he plan on conducting this week? Who might replace Alford? Also, what is the latest with the quarterback competition?

It happened two days ago and it still feels strange. Running backs coach Tony Alford has departed Ohio State for Michigan. What led up to this? And more importantly, who might Ryan Day target to replace Alford in Columbus? Furthermore, what is the timetable here? When can we expect the new RB coach to be hired? Also, the beat goes on for Jake Diebler and the OSU men's basketball team. Or, shall we say the *wins* go on for the Buckeyes? Ohio State knocked off Iowa 92-80 last night and will play Illinois this evening in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals. If the Buckeyes beat the Fighting Illini, will that be enough to be an at-large team in the NCAA Tournament? And is Diebler on the verge of keeping this job long-term?

It's one thing to take a new assistant coaching gig. But trading Scarlet and Gray threads for khaki pants? That's another thing entirely ... and yet that is what we're dealing with. Tony Alford left his position as Ohio State's running backs coach to take a similar position in Ann Arbor. The heck? We dive deep on the move with 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong, who boasts an extended working relationship with Alford dating back over a decade. Then it's the rationale behind several Crystal Balls rolling towards Columbus. Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

Ohio State's 2024 roster is extremely talented and might be the deepest we can recall at several positions. Might cornerback be the deepest position group on this team, which is saying a lot? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss the Buckeyes' corners, opine whether all five scholarship quarterbacks will still be here in the fall, analyze the way OSU's offensive line is shaping up and more football topics. Also, is Jake Diebler suddenly on the verge of keeping the head men's basketball coaching gig long-term? Is he literally two wins away from accomplishing that, or would Ohio State also need to at least win a game or two in the NCAA Tournament? And yes, it's crazy we are even discussing this with a straight face. But it is reality in the madness that March brings. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State's current roster is enjoying Spring Break. You know what that means: No news is GOOD news. Ohio State's current staff? Hard at work trying to add future Buckeyes to the mix. Here's a name to know: Dakorien Moore, Class of 2025 wide receiver from Duncanville (Texas). Sure, it's shocking Brian Hartline is chasing another elite prospect ... or not. Moore, committed to LSU, is expected to visit Columbus early next week and already has several Ohio State commitments - see Sanchez, Devin - trying to guide his pledge from Baton Rouge to Central Ohio. But that's not all. Our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter wax poetic on Cleveland Heights star Marquise Davis, dive deep on recent punter commitment Nick McCarty and much more.

For the first two practices of spring, Devin Brown has been going first during quarterback drills and has been followed by Will Howard. Some have opined that people shouldn't look too much into that since we are talking about the first two days of spring ball. Others have said they believe Brown can win the job. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle will give their takes on the QB situation, plus: * Linebacker is the one question mark on OSU's defense, but Jim Knowles is confident in the unit. * Who are some young, backup defensive linemen who might step up for the Buckeyes this year? * How are we feeling about the right side of OSU's offensive line? * Is Chip Kelly an upgrade over what Bill O'Brien would have brought to the program?

On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a look at the biggest storylines for Ohio State with spring practice just around the corner. What is atop the list in our opinion? Is it finding a starting WILL linebacker? Could it be something else? And what else will we be keeping a close eye on? That is the crux of today's show. Also, we continue to be intrigued by the Justin Fields situation in Chicago. Will the Bears keep the former Ohio State star and trade the No. 1 overall pick for the second consecutive year? Or will they trade Fields and draft Caleb Williams? Or trade Fields and draft someone else? The decision will be made in the near future and we're curious to see which direction the Bears take and what type of situation Fields ends up in. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
