Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Many are predicting a national championship season for Ohio State, or at least a season where the Buckeyes will be one of the few teams in the hunt. This season's national championship game will be held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles and the road to the title game begins on Thursday for the Buckeyes as they kick off preseason camp. * How does the 2022 roster stack up against some of the really good rosters we have seen at OSU over the last decade or so? We do an extremely deep dive into that subject. * What will be the two-deep on the offensive line? * What will be Cody Simon's role? * Switching to recruiting, what is the latest with 4-star 2023 linebacker Arvell Reese? Will the Buckeyes go back to their old Glenville pipeline to fill an important need in their class? Does Reese definitely want to be a Buckeye? * Will some of the recent misses in defensive recruiting open the door for OSU to flip recruits from other programs late in this cycle? Or help the Buckeyes land defensive players in the portal following the 2022 season? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

Ohio State begins camp on Thursday. On today's show, Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle give their thoughts on what is the biggest question facing the Buckeyes this month. We also address the elephant in the room: What in the world is going on with defensive recruiting? And how concerned are we about it? Also, will Ohio State have a top-10 defense this season?

On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle field questions from Bucknuts subscribers. If Ohio State has a top-10 defense in 2022, how much will that help with recruiting on the defensive side of the ball? Could they even flip some defensive recruits before the early signing period in December?When the College Football Playoff eventually expands, how many teams would we like to see in the field? Who thought starting NIL without guardrails in place was a good idea? And can guardrails be put in place in the future? A lot of powerful people believe some type of regulations should be put into place, but how? That plus much, much more is covered on this edition of the Friday 5ish.

Ok, it hasn't been the best few days. We've seen key recruits commit elsewhere ... and it's gonna happen again this afternoon. Several more are considering breaking out of the class. Why?

Oh, and Ohio State could be on the verge of adding another elite QB prospect. Ho-hum. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters! What's next for the Buckeyes?

Ohio State's defense was bad last year. And the year before that. We're confident it will not be bad this season. But can it be good? And what exactly constitutes a "good" collegiate defense? Top-30 nationally? Better? The Buckeyes will have an elite offense, so if they can be good defensively, they are going to be a big problem for their opponents. Can new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles get OSU to that point? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to delve into all of that, take questions from Bucknuts subscribers and more. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Perspective is valuable. In the high-stakes recruiting game Ohio State is in, 'perspective' is extremely valuable. That's why Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here. Their combined decades of experience lead to an informed perspective. Read: The sky is not falling. Linebacker recruiting? Perspective needed. Offensive line recruiting? Perspective needed. Our guys share that informed perspective on those topics like John Walker, Austin Novosad, Caleb Downs, Olaus Alinen, Arvell Reese, Tackett Curtis, Jayden Bonsu, Desmond Umeozulu, Miles Walker and more.

On today's show, Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle will analyze the O-line and give their opinions on the matter. What will be the biggest strength of the offensive line? What is a possible weakness?

Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ronnie Hickman. What are we most interesting in hearing about at media days, both from Ohio State's perspective and the conference as a whole?

What's the famous saying? "You can't win them all." There have been times on the recruiting trail we thought that did not apply to the Buckeyes. It felt like it was commitment after commitment. But ... apparently ... "You can't win them all." While Ohio State added elite tight end Jelani Thurman over the weekend the past few days have seen Tackett Curtis and Justice Haynes commit elsewhere. Is this a trend? What's next for the Buckeyes? Plenty to discuss with Duane Long.

High 4-star defensive lineman Jason Moore committed to Ohio State on Sunday, vaulting the Buckeyes back over Notre Dame for the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports Composite national recruiting rankings for 2023.

Is defensive line recruiting beginning to pick up for Larry Johnson and Ohio State in the 2023 class? High 4-star defensive lineman Jason Moore will make his announcement on Sunday and several experts believe the Buckeyes will be the pick. Ohio State is also the favorite to eventually land 4-star defensive end Desmond Umeozulu. Furthermore, high 4-star defensive tackle John Walker could very well be a Buckeye in the end. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for the Friday 5ish to discuss all of that, plus OSU likely landing 3-star offensive tackle Miles Walker later today, where things stand overall for Justin Frye and the Buckeyes on the O-line recruiting front, what might be next in the world of conference expansion and much more.

It felt like Notre Dame was on the verge of joining the Big Ten. However, multiple reports surfaced on Tuesday evening that the Fighting Irish are planning on staying put as an independent? Why would they turn this much money down? (Likely $100 million per season for each Big Ten institution via TV deals.) What is their end game? To stay independent, or perhaps join the SEC down the road if need be? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss the latest developments in the world of college conference expansion, take a look at what we expect from sophomore defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau and senior DE Zach Harrison this season and much more. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Last week's bombshell news of USC and UCLA moving to the Big Ten hasn't really sunk in yet, and we're already wondering what is next in the world of conference expansion. Is Notre Dame and Stanford on the verge of joining the B1G? What's the end game for the conference? How many teams does the Big Ten eventually want. Also, what's next for the SEC? Is it going to poach the top programs from the ACC? Is the Pac 12 going to dissolve? What about the Big 12 and ACC?

Well, that was quite the bombshell. Thursday came the announcement that USC and UCLA would be joining the Big Ten, beginning with the 2024-25 academic year. Are we surprised by this news? Or did we think something like this was coming down the pike? Also, what does this mean for the Big Ten going forward? Will they stop at 16 teams, or create a superconference with 20 or more teams? And if they add four more programs, who are the most-likely candidates? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that and more about the Trojans and Bruins becoming members of the Big Ten on the Friday 5ish.

Oh what a week it was for Ohio State and Brian Hartline last week as the Buckeyes landed a trio of highly-rated wide receivers in consecutive days. First it was 5-star Carnell Tate (the nation's No. 3 WR per the 247Sports Composite), then it was 5-star Brandon Inniss (No. 2 WR) and wrapping up the three-day odyssey was high 4-star Noah Rogers (No. 9 WR). That's a total of 14 stars in three days. Not too shabby. Hartline continues to prove he is the best recruiter in the country among all position coaches, and he spoke to NFL Network over the weekend about his recruiting philosophy. We will touch on that on today's show as well. But what about defensive recruiting, you ask? Today's show will also take a look at a trio of 4-star defensive recruits who took official visits to Ohio State this past weekend. They include cornerback Kayin Lee, defensive tackle John Walker and DT/DE Darron Reed. The good news for the Buckeyes regarding each of them? The Dean of Ohio State Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, has put in a Crystal Ball for OSU to land them. Doesn't mean the fight is over for any of them -- it's not -- but it's trending very well for the Scarlet & Gray. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

Does it frustrate you when Ohio State wears alternate uniforms, especially in games against Michigan and Penn State? Well, you came to the right place today because Dave Biddle is not a fan of the Buckeyes wearing alt unis and he goes into detail as to why.

Also on the agenda: * What can fans expect from the Buckeyes' linebackers in 2022? * Who will be OSU's captains this season? * What sports are good to watch in the summertime as we wait for football season? * Could Ohio State be overconfident heading in the Notre Dame game?

What they need, according to Day, is $13 million per year just to keep the roster in tact and prevent players from transferring to other programs. That's right, the $13M figure doesn't even include recruiting. It's just for the current roster. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to give his thoughts on that, the OSU-Penn State game not being a white out for a change, and whether Marvin Harrison Jr. will go over or under 1,200 receiving yards this season. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
