Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

We are not typically "national championship or bust" people here at Bucknuts. But is 2024 the exception to that rule as Ohio State is concerned? We are beginning to think so. Do the Buckeyes have one missing piece though, perhaps? An offensive tackle via the portal? Or are there in-house options that will more than hold the fort down? Also, just how hot is Chris Holtmann's seat at this point? The Buckeyes dropped to 3-5 in Big Ten play after a lackluster loss at Nebraska last night. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

What was up yesterday? No 5-star additions for Ohio State? Weak. But seriously folks ... things are crazy good. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter last joined us on Thursday?

After landing the top overall player in the transfer portal on Friday -- safety Caleb Downs -- the news couldn't get much better for Ohio State, right? Or the Buckeyes could go out two days later and nab the No. 1 quarterback recruit in the country in the 2024 class according to the 247Sports Composite, Julian Sayin. Since he signed with Alabama and enrolled early, he technically counts as part of OSU's amazing haul from the transfer portal (rather than part of the Buckeyes' 2024 recruiting class). This means Ohio State has now landed the No. 1 overall player in the portal (Downs), the No. 1 2024 QB recruit in the country (Sayin), the No. 1 QB available in the portal (Will Howard), the No. 1 running back available in the portal (Quinshon Judkins), the No. 2 interior lineman available in the portal (Seth McLaughlin) and a quality tight end in Ohio University transfer Will Kacmarek. We're just Sayin', we have never seen anything like this before and we are absolutely loving it. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that on today's show, and they are joined by special guest Steve Wiltfong for the second half of the show. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State has made several impact additions via the transfer portal. Now the fight is on to make possibly the biggest non-QB addition in portal annals. It won't be easy. But Ohio State is in the mix for Alabama safety transfer Caleb Downs. We have Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter dive deep on Downs, other transfer targets and offer a breakdown of prospects visiting Ohio State this weekend. Some names to know: Jared Curtis, Carter Lowe, Maxwell Riley. Then we bring in Steve Helwagen to give you all the info on new AD Ross Bjork. What does the future hold with Bjork at the helm?

We're thrilled to welcome back NFL Draft expert Dane Brugler from The Athletic. He treats us to several appearances each draft cycle to detail the Buckeyes headed for the NFL. The head count is not as robust this time around. We've discussed over a dozen draft eligible Buckeyes in some years. This year? Three. Was there a talent drop-off we need to be concerned about? Hardly. Besides Marvin Harrison, Jr., Mike Hall, Matt Jones, Cade Stover, the rest opted for another year in Columbus. There are several others we discussed including Tommy Eichenberg, Josh Proctor and Steele Chambers. Dane breaks down where the draft eligibles could land but also let's us in on where those who chose to return could have been picked. Add in questions about C.J. Stroud and great contributions from our LIVE views and you've got yourself a nice little show. Spend 5ish with us this a.m, 'Nutters!

Whew! We've actually had a few days to breathe. Ohio State's transfer portal fury has relented ... for now. But work on the recruiting trail is never done. Is Ohio State about to add a final 2024 piece on the defensive line? We talk Dominic Kirks in detail. We stay on the trail to translate the interest in wide receiver Jaime Ffrench. One word: Oui. Has Nick Saban's exit caused Crimson Tiders - several in particular - to consider life elsewhere? Mark Porter and Bill Kurelic join to handle those topics and questions from our LIVE participants.

Since the 5ish last left you on Friday, even more good news has rolled in for Ohio State. J.T. Tuimoloau and TreVeyon Henderson announced they are coming back for their senior seasons, capping an improbable run of talented upperclassmen returning for one more season with the Buckeyes. And while the depth chart certainly is not set by any means, it is beginning to take shape. And it looks tremendous. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle take a close look at the Buckeyes' projected 2024 depth chart on today's show. Plus, just how big is the 2024 season for head coach Ryan Day and OSU? Is Day on the verge of bringing in an offensive coordinator from the outside? All of that and more is coming your way on the MLK Day version of the 5ish.

The good news continues to roll in for Ohio State at this very early stage of the offseason. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka announced on Thursday that he will be returning for his senior season in Scarlet and Gray, one day after cornerbacks Denzel Burke and Jordan Hancock did the same. This is on the heels of players such as defensive tackle Tyleik Williams, defensive end Jack Sawyer, DT Ty Hamilton, left guard Donovan Jackson and safety Lathan Ransom deciding to make one last ride in Columbus in 2024. Now, we only wait the decisions of running back TreVeyon Henderson and defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau. Also, will there be a big addition to OSU's coaching staff in the near future? Is Ryan Day really going to bring in an offensive coordinator and turn over playcalling duties to him? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for the Friday 5ish to discuss all of that and much more.

Ohio State is doing a bang up job in the portal to kick off the offseason. Thus far, the Buckeyes have landed quarterback Will Howard, running back Quinshon Judkins, center Seth McLaughlin and tight end Will Kacmarek.

It was not that long ago when there was seemingly a flood of bad news surrounding Ohio State's football program. In fact, it was roughly a week ago. But now? The Buckeyes have seen a steady wave of good news and it might keep on coming. We are talking about upperclassmen foregoing the NFL to remain at OSU for another season. We are referring to the Buckeyes landing quality transfers such as quarterback Will Howard and center Seth McLaughlin. And we are referencing good news on the recruiting front, such as Ohio State landing the No. 1 cornerback in the country in the 2025 class, Devin Sanchez. Could running back Quinshon Judkins -- an Ole Miss transfer -- be next to become a Buckeye? He's currently in Columbus on a visit. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that, give opinions on what to expect from Jeremiah Smith as a freshman, look ahead to tonight's national championship game and much more.

We've talked here on the BM5 about this offseason's sail through uncharted waters. Some chose to hunker down and deal with big waves. Others hopped overboard. As it turns out, the Buckeyes could be approaching calmer waters. All signs point to Ohio State adding transfer portal quarterback Will Howard. Concerted efforts are being made to retain multiple key Buckeyes. Tyleik Williams has already announced that he's coming back. Advantage Ohio State. What's next? Who's in? Who's out? Also: Prime recruiting target Devin Sanchez is announcing his commitment on Saturday. We are PSYCHED for some GREAT news. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to chop it up.

The 2023 season ended with a dud for Ohio State and now there are serious questions that need to be answered. What changes will Ryan Day make to his coaching staff? What is the deal with some of the troubling rumors we have heard, such as the team only having light practices leading up to the Cotton Bowl and not even utilizing all of their practice time? Is there good news to report? Well, not yet, but we continue to hear that a lot of upperclassmen are going to return for the 2024 season. There will also be players the Buckeyes bring in from the portal. Could quarterback Will Howard be one of them?

It is game day for the final time in 2023 for Ohio State as the Buckeyes will take on Missouri in the Cotton Bowl tonight in Dallas (8 p.m. ET; ESPN). The No. 7 Buckeyes (11-1) are now up to 4.5-point favorites over the No. 9 Tigers (10-2). Are we confident OSU will get the job done and end their season on a high note against a very good team? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle delve into all things Cotton Bowl, plus: * Is there any smoke to these Will Howard rumors? Some are predicting that Howard -- an accomplished quarterback who is transferring from Kansas State -- will join the Buckeyes' roster in early January. * But what if Devin Brown balls out tonight? Does that change the calculus? Or perhaps Ryan Day is not really considering Howard and is confident in Brown, Lincoln Kienholz and Air Noland headed into 2024? Regardless, we're excited to see what Brown can do in his first collegiate start. * What are our final score predictions for tonight's game? * Which players from Ohio State are likely to turn pro early? * What coaching changes will Day make in the weeks after the game? All of that and much more is coming your way on a game-day version of the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State will sign one of the top-3 recruiting classes in the country today and that is of course good news for the Buckeyes. However, are there enough quality linemen in the class? Speaking of quality linemen, the No. 4 DL in the nation, Amaris Williams, will announce his decision this afternoon. Will it be OSU or Auburn? Also, will the Buckeyes sign all of their commits, or might one of them (or more) flip to another program? Right before the show, news broke that Steve Wiltfong put in a Crystal Ball pick for Eddrick Houston to flip from OSU to Alabama. Not the news we wanted to hear to begin the day. Furthermore, the media is meeting with Ryan Day today at noon to discuss the Buckeyes' recruiting class and more.

It is a quarterback-themed version of the show as Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle. What do we expect from Devin Brown in the Cotton Bowl against Missouri? Who do we think will be the Buckeyes' starting QB in 2024? Will it be Brown? Lincoln Kienholz? Air Noland? Might Ryan Day take another look in the portal for a quarterback if Brown (and/or Kienholz) does not play well in the bowl game? Also, former OSU quarterback Kyle McCord has landed at Syracuse. Are we surprised that a bigger program did not gobble up McCord, or does this seem about right? Also, are the Buckeyes about to see some of their 2024 commits get flipped to other programs? Or is there no fire to go along with that smoke? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

It sure felt like the changing of the guard when quarterback Devin Brown was one of Ohio State's players that were made available to the media on Tuesday. Brown is in line to start the Cotton Bowl against Missouri and if he plays well, will likely be the favorite to be the Buckeyes' QB1 in 2024.
