Are we still talking about the dustup between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban? You had better believe it. We can all agree it was hilarious. But beyond that, which coach was more in the wrong with their comments? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus: ** Thoughts on Ryan Day's contract extension and raise. ** How many national titles does Steve think Day will win over the next few years? He gives what he considers the "over/under" on what you can expect. We think you'll be pleased. ** What's the latest with Ohio State's basketball team, including recruiting? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher unloaded on Alabama coach Nick Saban on Thursday and his comments took the college football world by storm. Is the Morning 5 here for it? You had better believe it. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to talk a lot about the Fisher-Saban feud, including of course the hilarity of it, but also whether both men were actually speaking the truth. Bottom line? If you like dramatic movies or soap operas, your favorite one pales in comparison to what we saw yesterday. Also on the docket, which true freshmen can help Ohio State this season? There won't be nearly as many true frosh that play in 2022 compared to 2021, but a few will need to round out the two deep and perhaps step up if injuries arise. Who are 10 true freshmen in particular that we feel will not redshirt and will at least be able to contribute to the Buckeyes' championship-winning efforts this fall? We break it all down. All of that plus much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State's staff is on the road working hard. Much time has been spent in Georgia. How come? LOTS of great players live there. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to talk all things recruiting for over 38 minutes. That's a lot of chatter. Among the topics broached besides Peach State recruiting emphasis : * Why is Nick Saban whining publicly? * Is Olaus Alinen the left tackle of the future in Columbus? * Ohio ... not as productive as New Jersey? * Has Khaki pants found his QB? There is so much more to enjoy. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Is it "national championship or bust" for Ohio State in 2022? That is usually a fool's errand, but it might be the case with this loaded roster and excellent coaching staff. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus give thoughts on our projected two-deep for the Buckeyes on both sides of the ball, the latest on OSU's recruiting efforts, running backs coach Tony Alford basically having to re-recruit Miyan Williams due to other programs trying to poach him and much more.

When a hangover is positive and lasts several days what is it called? We don't know the clinical term but we know this: Dylan Raiola is a Buckeye. The No. 1 and QB and overall player in the Class of 2024 verbally committed to Ohio State at his birthday celebration in Arizona. Our Steve Wiltfong was there to help blow out the candles. What do Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter think of the addition? What does it mean for the Class of 2024? Is Raiola the ultimate class ambassador? What does it mean for Class of 2023 QB recruiting?

Also on today's show: * Will OSU add a QB to its 2023 class or look for a transfer to add depth at the position next offseason? * On a scale of 1-10, how concerned are we about the Buckeyes' offensive line in 2022? We're talking about the starters and the backups combined. Or are we not very concerned at all? * How about this RB room that Tony Alford has put together!? * Overall, how good will the Buckeyes' defense be in 2022?

Six Ohio State assistant coaches were made available to the media on Friday, including strength coach Mickey Marotti. The media only gets an opportunity to speak with Mick about once per year, so it's always interesting to hear from him. How has one of the best in the business evolved his methods in recent years? What did the loss to Michigan do in terms of how the program approaches certain things? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss that on today's show, plus: * Are redshirt freshmen J.K. Johnson and Jayden Ballard the two fastest players on the Buckeyes' team? * Kicker Noah Ruggles is coming back which is great news for OSU. * The bad news after speaking with head coach Ryan Day on Friday is defensive end Mitchell Melton is out for the season with a torn ACL, and running back Marcus Crowley is retiring from football after another serious knee injury. We also chat about what stood out from the interviews with Jim Knowles, Justin Frye and more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State added to its reputation of being "WR U" last night as Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were drafted back-to-back with the Nos. 10 and 11 overall picks in the NFL Draft. Wilson went to the New York Jets, while the New Orleans Saints traded up to get Olave. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that and where the other Buckeyes might go in the draft tonight and tomorrow. Also, is Ohio State keeping up with the arms race in college football recruiting when it comes to NIL deals? As it stands, the Buckeyes are not guaranteeing upfront money for recruits like NIL collectives at other programs. Plus we take questions from viewers on our live broadcast and much more.

There is much to discuss on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. Marcus Hooker is the latest Ohio State player to put his name in the transfer portal. Are we surprised at any of the recent departures? How will this impact depth for the Buckeyes? Also, will Ohio State look for an offensive lineman and perhaps another player or two in the portal?

Noah Potter has entered his name in the transfer portal. How does this impact Ohio State's depth situation at defensive end? Was this simply a case of the Buckeyes being very deep at DE and Potter feeling like there wouldn't be much playing time available for him? Switching gears, what is the biggest concern for the 2022 Buckeyes? Is it the offensive line? Is it something else?

Two young players that are rising up the depth chart are true freshman linebacker C.J. Hicks and sophomore cornerback Jordan Hancock. What else stood out at the practice, most especially during the scrimmage portion? And can the Buckeyes' offense be even better this season? They were ranked No. 1 in the country last year in total offense and scoring offense. But they did struggle in one particular area. Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the Monday 5ish to discuss all of that and more.

We are happy to welcome back Brian Schottenstein and Cardale Jones to the show. Their NIL venture "The Foundation" launched this week and they are here to answer several questions about it. How can this help Ohio State? Is The Foundation just for current OSU athletes, or can it help with recruiting as well? Are there any regulations? How can boosters and fans donate? All of that and more is covered on an informative version of the Friday 5ish. [NOTE: We had trouble with Cardale's audio to begin the show, but that gets corrected a few minutes in.] To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

LeBron vs. Jordan. Emmitt vs. Barry. Chamberlain vs. Russell. Bowles vs. Curtis?

That's right, our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter made their usual, Thursday dynamic-duo appearance and debated that first world recruiting question. It was plenty entertaining.
