On a scale of 1-10, what is your confidence level in Ohio State's 2021 defense and defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs? Jonah Booker drops by for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus: * What is a bigger concern on the defense: the linebacker or the defensive backs? * How great will the Buckeyes' 2021 defensive line be? * Moving to the offensive side of the ball, who will be the starting center? * JBook is keeping a close eye on a handful of recruits.

Terrelle Pryor and the guys want their wins back. And can you blame them? (Well, maybe you can, and we will get into all of that.) Ohio State was 12-1 in 2010, but that season was wiped from the record books due to "Tatgate." Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * Is the competition to be the Buckeyes' 2021 starting quarterback between CJ Stroud and Kyle McCord closer than some might believe? * The Buckeyes aren't just "top heavy" at the wide receiver position, they are deep (despite narratives that say otherwise). All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State's recruiting dominance is ongoing and space to add more excellent prospects is dwindling in the Class of 2022. The Buckeyes have the nation's No. 1 class at this point but maintain plans for a fabulous finale. Who are the last names that will join the fold? Duane Long is here to talk about the latest addition to the '22 crew - George Fitzpatrick - and who might join him in the team picture. Also: * Is complaining about offensive line coach Greg Studrawa an uniformed maneuver? * Bigger worry: Minnesota or Oregon? Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Recently, a national publication came out with a list of the 10-best active head coaches in college football, and Ohio State's Ryan Day was not on that list. So, obviously that list can be disregarded. However, on today's show, Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle as they give their 10-best coaches in the college game. Hint: Day was not omitted from their lists. Also on the show, we talk about the Buckeyes' fantastic 2022 recruiting class and who might be next to join.

He offers the latest on Enai White, Xavier Nwankpa and several other key targets already in the fold: Kojo Antwi and J.T. Tuimoloau.

Mr. Scott returns to the show to explain more about that and other issues with NIL. Plus he delves into insights about J.T. Tuimoloau that you will not want to miss.

Let's face it, that was as good a 48-hour recruiting stretch as even Ohio State has had in quite some time. Adding the nation's top player? Check. Adding a prospect from Georgia that didn't list Ohio State as a finalist originally? Check. Ryan Day outpacing Urban Meyer on the recruiting trail? Check. Linebackers coming from other major programs and our own running back room? Check. Check up. Duane Long is here to take you to the rack. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Nearly seven months after the December signing period -- when most of the 2021 prospects signed with a college football program -- Ohio State landed the No. 1 player in the country. Defensive lineman J.T. Tuimoloau selected the Buckeyes yesterday, giving quite the 4th of July gift to Buckeye Nation. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to talk all things JTT, plus we take a look at OSU likely adding to their 2022 class today as high 4-star WR Kojo Antwi is expected to select the Buckeyes when he makes his announcement today.

Due to extreme popular demand, Gee Scott Sr. is back as our guest on the Morning 5. Mr. Scott answers questions that were posed to him by Bucknuts subscribers, and many of the questions have to deal with name, image and likeness. Gee has what he considers an "unpopular opinion" on NIL. But is it actually unpopular? You be the judge. Mr. Scott also addresses the recruitment of J.T. Tuimoloau, tells you things you didn't know about OSU offensive coordinator/TE coach Kevin Wilson, how the move to tight end is going for his son, Gee Scott Jr., and much more.

To say we are on commitment watch would be an understatement. At this point, sleeping without one eye open would be just fine. But we can't do that. Sleep does not matter as much as being ready for what would be the biggest commitment since ... well, it's a long time. Duane Long is here to talk about - among many things - the wait for J.T. Tuimoloau's announcement on where he'll attend college. We will also put an incredible recruiting weekend - month? - into perspective as we discuss who Ohio State charmed most. As an incredible June for recruiting nears completion, we get you set for the rest of the summer. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio's legislature could be dropping the ball. Ryan Day and Co. would not let such a thing happen when it comes to June recruiting. Our Steve Helwagen is here to make sense of it all. * Name, image and likeness? Ohio had it licked ... until it didn't. * June's visitor list has been nothing short of sensational. Who impressed Steve the most? * The nation had a laugh at Khaki Jim's expense yesterday. Was calling out Ohio State's secondary also comical? Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Let's be real: It's Ohio State vs. Alabama. Sure, there are other college football powers. But these two (in our humble opinion) currently stand alone (sorry, Dabo). The weekend ahead is further proof. The list of visitors headed for Columbus and Tuscaloosa are star-studded to say the least. Given so many elite prospects in question will come down to an Ohio State-Alabama decision, it's clear how weighty this weekend is. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to preview both talent gatherings and who to watch.

Ohio State added a running back to the mix the staff loved more than most. There were questions about the commitment. Why not a more highly-rated prospect? Well, things worked out for Ezekiel Elliott and Ohio State, we'd say. Is it deja vu all over again? Very possibly. The People's Champ - Matt Baxendell - joins to discuss the addition of running back Dallan Hayden after his visit yesterday. Let's just say we think the Buckeyes know a little something here. We also have an aside on Zeke for you Fantasy Football enthusiasts. Then there is Brenan Vernon. The Mentor native has been on the radar it seems like since he was in elementary school but another suitor is running hot. What gives? We finish with a look at Palaie Gatoetoe joining the fold and what it means for current linebackers on the roster. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Roll, roll, roll your red carpet. That's been Ohio State's mode this month. Today is no different.

June has offered up some big recruiting weekends. But none was more impactful than the last 72 hours or so. J.T. Tuimoloau was here. Perhaps you've heard. Dallan Hayden was here.

But so did several other potential Buckeyes, including one commitment Wiltfong claims we need to keep a keen eye on. Also tune in to hear the latest on elite safety prospect Zion Branch. We also discussed the weekend ahead, which will feature expected visitors Dallan Hayden - who Wiltfong has Crystal Balled to Ohio State - and Kojo Antwi.

Ohio State had the No. 1 recruting class in the country for 2022 for a while, then they didn't, and now they do again. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus: * The Buckeyes getting their most-recent commit, high 4-star WR Kaleb Brown from Chicago. * Is 4-star DE Gabriel Harris also on track to be a Buckeye after decommiting from Florida State? * How is Bax feeling about the Buckeyes' chances to land 5-star OL Zach Rice? * Is 4-star OL Aamil Wagner basically a lock for OSU, or no? * Rutgers is ranked No. 5 in the 2022 recruiting cycle.

Ohio State added a wide receiver to the Class of 2022 on Monday as Kaleb Brown made an expected commitment. But that wasn't the only news of the day. Florida State commitment Gabriel Harris - who visited Columbus last week - decommitted from the Seminoles and had an Ohio State offer shortly thereafter. You do the math. Duane Long is here and we also tackled a number of questions submitted on the Front Row: * Could Ohio State add two elite safeties - Zion Branch and Xavier Nwankpa - to the same class? * Are we overlooking any future B1G Buckeyes? * Which Class of 2022 prospect still on the board tops Duane's wish list?
