Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

We are 10 days away from Ohio State's season-opener at Minnesota, and over the weekend head coach Ryan Day named C.J. Stroud the Buckeyes' starting quarterback. What are expectations for Stroud now that he has won the job? Is it too much to expect that the redshirt freshman will be first-team All-Big Ten this season? That is likely what Day expects out of him. Also, we will speak with Day, Matt Barnes and the Buckeyes' safeties after practice today. What are thoughts on Josh Proctor and the safeties this year for OSU? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

What are expectations for Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers this season? Are the Buckeyes' linebackers perhaps going to be better than we originally anticipated?

It's never dull on the Buckeyes beat. Quinn Ewers, the high-profile Class of 2023 quarterback committed to Ohio State could be coming a year early. Domino effect anyone? What happens to Ohio State's quarterback room? What happens to quarterback recruiting nationally? Is Ewers a trend setter?

On today's show, we look back on Ryan Day's comments at Big Ten media days and translate what he said. Wait, translate? Yes. While we love Day around here, he is a football coach. And guess what? Football coaches don't always tell the media everything that is on their minds, and why should they? So we are here to translate Day's comments on Ohio State's competition at quarterback and many other topics. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Patrick Murphy drops by.

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).

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!

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.

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!

Perhaps you'd like the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting to get your week started with some quality info.
