Youngstown State is coming to Columbus and potential recruits can't wait. Ok, maybe that's a slight exaggeration. But the Buckeyes' guest list this weekend is a head turner. Jeremiah Smith, Tavien St. Claire, Aaron Scott, Bryce West, Dorian Brew and several others key prospects will get the red carpet treatment they deserve. What can we expect from the weekend when it comes to the visitors - recruits and the Penguins? Our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to break that down and preview Ohio's weekend on the high school gridiron. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

On today’s show, Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to take a look at some important topics as Ohio State enters Week 2 of its season. Among the items on the agenda: ** Kyle McCord will again get the start this week, but the plan is for Devin Brown to play a lot more than he did last week. What do we make of Ryan Day’s comments from Tuesday about his QBs? ** Is Chip Trayanum the best running back on this team? ** Only one offensive lineman graded out as a champion for the Buckeyes and that was right tackle Josh Fryar. How concerned are we about this O-line long-term? ** Does Josh Proctor hold on to a starting safety spot long-term? Might Malik Hartford surpass him? What about Ja'Had Carter? What’s the latest with him? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

One game does not a season make. Right? I mean ... right? Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to answer. Yes, Ohio State beat host Indiana, 23-3. 'Nutters did not give out many style points and we get into it. Then it's a deep dive on Ohio's high school football weekend and much chatter about a Clevelander that could be the future of Ohio State's rushing attack. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

After months of anticipation, Kyle McCord was named Ohio State's starting quarterback for the season opener against Indiana. Head coach Ryan Day made the announcement Tuesday and added that Devin Brown will also see meaningful action against the Hoosiers. What does this mean long-term for the Buckeyes? Is it likely that McCord holds on to the job all season? Or is it more likely that Brown will usurp him at some point? Or if the battle stays close and Day elects to say with a two-QB system -- which we do not think will happen -- could that actually work? Switching gears, now that the QB decision is behind us -- for now -- how about the fact that game day is merely three days away for the Buckeyes? What do we expect to see from this team in Bloomington? Is the hype about OSU's defense real? Or might we not really know until at least the Notre Dame game? Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to tackle those topics and more. All of that is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Today is August 22, 2023. It's 5-star Class of 2024 defensive lineman Eddrick Houston's 18th birthday. But will it be Houston who bestows a gift upon Buckeye Nation? Yes, the day is finally here. Houston, the Buford (Ga.) native, will announce his college destination later today at his high school. Given Ohio State's struggle to add elite defensive ends recently, Houston's recruitment has taken on added intrigue. (Photo: 247Sports) Will Houston pick Ohio State over Alabama? What would Ohio State be getting if he makes the 'correct' call? Bill Kurelic is here. Mark Porter is here. They have you covered. In addition, we discuss the Armstrong brothers serving breakfast to an Indiana high school power, future Ohio State QBs starring early, Ohio's top prep offensive lineman and a whole lot more.

Is today the day? The day that Ryan Day will name Ohio State's starting quarterback? The Buckeyes' head coach will meet with the media at 11:30 a.m. today, just 12 days before OSU's season-opener at Indiana. And if he does name the starting QB, will it be Kyle McCord or Devin Brown? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that burning topic, plus: * Regardless of how the competition turns out and regardless of who wins it, are we surprised the battle is/was this close? * What is the latest on coveted 2024 recruits Brandon Baker and Eddrick Houston? * The Buckeyes named just three captains for this season: Tommy Eichenberg, Xavier Johnson and Cade Stover. We like the less-is-more philosophy here. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Is Ryan Day on the verge of naming his starting quarterback? The Buckeyes have their final scrimmage of camp on Saturday and it would not surprise us if Day named a starter when he meets with the media on Tuesday. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to give his prediction on what will happen at the QB spot for the Buckeyes, plus: ** Are Larry Johnson and Jim Knowles not on the same page? Johnson was a bit defensive when meeting with reporters yesterday when asked about the "Jack" position and about using less of a rotation up front. Or perhaps there is nothing to it. ** Junior defensive tackle Tywone Malone -- a transfer from Ole Miss -- is having a strong camp for OSU and has solidified a spot on the two-deep. ** Speaking of transfers, if Josh Simmons -- who started at right tackle for San Diego State last year -- can lock down the starting left tackle job for the Buckeyes and play well, that would be massive for this offensive line. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

The pieces appear to be coming together for Ohio State's offensive line. How will those pieces perform when the season arrives in just 17 days?

The three certainties of life are death, taxes ... and Brian Hartline landing quality wide receiver recruits. Ohio State's offensive coordinator struck again on Sunday when the Buckeyes received a commitment from Jeremiah McClellan, who is ranked as the No. 17 WR in the country in the 2024 class by 247Sports. Ohio State also has commitments from the No. 1 WR (Jeremiah Smith) and the No. 6 WR (Mylan Graham) in the country, who are both 5-star prospects.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with the media on Wednesday and stated that the quarterback competition between Kyle McCord and Devin Brown is extremely close.

The safety position was a bit of a liability for Ohio State last season, but that does not appear to be the case this year. In fact, the Buckeyes appear to be stacked at the position, which features starters Sonny Styles, Lathan Ransom and Ja'Had Carter. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to take a close look at the safeties, discuss other notable items from the first five practices of camp, and analyze the Big Ten's additions of Oregon and Washington. Is the Big Ten now done expanding? Are they looking to go to 20? If so, which schools could be next to join? All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State is loaded with talent and experience at running back overall entering the 2023 season. The group includes junior TreVeyon Henderson, fourth-year junior Miyan Williams, sophomore Dallan Hayden, third-year sophomore Evan Pryor and fourth-year junior Chip Trayanum. Yet, it feels like we’re not talking about Tony Alford’s room enough. That will change on today’s show as Dave Biddle flies solo. In addition to the RBs, Biddle will look back on all of the high points from the first week of practice, including Sonny Styles running with the first-team defense at slot safety, the competition at right tackle and much more.

Day one of Ohio State's preseason camp is in the books and there are already plenty of interesting developments. Is sophomore sensation Sonny Styles going to be the Buckeyes' starting slot safety? At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds? Might the "slot safety" be more of a rover back for OSU this season in Jim Knowles' scheme? At right tackle, it appears to be a three-man race between Zen Michalski, Tegra Tshabola and Josh Simmons. On Thursday, that was the order in which they took their reps -- Michalski with the first-team, Tshabola with the second-team and Simmons with the third-team. But it was just the first day and that order is of course subject to change. However, that being said, might we have been too quick to assume Simmons will win the job? On the Friday 5ish, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and much more from OSU's first practice of the season.

"You win some, you lose some" is never truer than when speaking about recruiting. Ohio State of course landed 5-star cornerback Aaron Scott on Monday, beating out Michigan for his services. However, on Tuesday, 5-star defensive end Dylan Stewart -- who was a heavy lean to OSU at one point -- selected South Carolina over the Buckeyes. Then hours later, 4-star linebacker Nigel Glover from the 2023 class -- who entered the portal after Pat Fitzgerald's dismissal at Northwestern -- announced he would be transferring to Ohio State. You can come up for air now, we think. Switching gears from recruiting, it's a big day on the OSU football beat as head coach Ryan Day, as well as quarterback Kyle McCord, Devin Brown and perhaps others, will meet with reporters at the WHAC. Practice begins tomorrow for the Buckeyes and we are curious to hear what Day, McCord and Brown have to say about the competition entering camp. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for the Wednesday 5ish to discuss all of that and much more.

So that turned out to be a nice little weekend for Ohio State. It's always enjoyable to add the top in-state player in two classes. Aaron Scott is in ... sorry to you know who.

We did a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 defense on Monday's show. Today, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a close gander at what to expect from the Buckeyes' offense this season. Presuming he is the starting quarterback, how will Kyle McCord perform? Throwing to the best WR corps in the country will help the cause for sure. But what about the offensive line? Are we concerned? Should we be? What do we expect out of the running backs? What about the tight ends? That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

What can be expected from Ohio State's defense in 2023? The Buckeyes improved from 59th to 14th in the country in total defense during Jim Knowles' first season as coordinator in 2022. However, OSU's defense cost the team dearly in consecutive losses to close out the season against Michigan and Georgia. In addition to it being his first year in Columbus, Knowles inherited a lack of veteran talent on the defense. We know this because only one player was drafted off the Buckeyes' 2022 defense ... and that was third-round pick Zach Harrison. That was it. This season should be different in a good way for Ohio State. Not only is it the second year of the Knowles' system, but the most talented players on the defense appear ready to come of age. There are a lot of third-year and second-year players who are extremely talented on the defensive side of the ball. Let's take a close look at all three levels of the Buckeyes' defense in 2023 and what reasonable expectations are for this group. That is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.
