Can Ryan Day and Co. do it again? Ohio State secured a commitment from Quinn Ewers, the nation's top Class of 2022 quarterback. The top signal caller in 2023 is American QB royalty: Arch Manning, the grandson of Archie, nephew of Peyton and Eli. Do the Buckeyes have a legit shot to pull Manning out of his native New Orleans. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to discuss that, Crystal Balls rolling towards Columbus and a whole lot more.

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to take a close look at the Buckeyes' DBs on today's show. Are we buying the projections that Sevyn Banks will be a first-round pick next year?

Ohio State wanted Henry To'o To'o bad, but they didn't get him. And they wanted him to be the starting middle linebacker. Therefore, what does this say about the Buckeyes' current situation at middle linebacker? Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the show to discuss that, what fans can expect from guys like Cody Simon and Dallas Gant, the good news that it's looking more and more like we will have full capacities for OSU football games this fall, two young defensive backs to get excited about for the Buckeyes and more.

What is the latest on wide receiver Jameson Williams who transferred from Ohio State to Alabama? Speaking of transfers, will the Buckeyes get a great one in linebacker Henry To'o To'o from Tennessee? If so, when? And are four Buckeyes really projected to be first-round selections in the 2022 NFL Draft? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on the Friday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

You know the names. You know the position. You know the NFL Draft round: First (usually). Ohio State cornerbacks Bradley Roby (2014), Eli Apple (2016), Marshon Lattimore (2017), Gareon Conley (2017), Denzel Ward (2018), Jeffrey Okudah (2020) and Damon Arnette (2020) all enjoyed first round signing bonus cash. Other starters along the way - Doran Grant (2015-fourth round), Kendall Sheffield (2019-fourth round) and Shaun Wade (2021-sixth round) also heard their names called, albeit later than desired. But this much is clear: If you're an Ohio State starting cornerback, chances are you're headed to the NFL. Really, really good chances. Word has reached Florida when it comes to cornerback and team success in Columbus. On Wednesday, the Buckeyes received a commitment from cornerback Ryan Turner. He joins fellow Floridian defensive back Jaheim Singletary and Kyle Stokes in the Class of 2022 haul Ohio State is putting together. Will the Sunshine State takeover continue? What are the vibes on those already in the fold? We discuss this and a whole lot more today with 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong. Spend 5ish with this a.m., 'Nutters!

Wide receiver Jameson Williams has transferred from Ohio State to Alabama, and now the question is why. Was it simply about playing time? Are there more issues at play? His father sure seemed angry on social media in regard to his son's time with the Buckeyes. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

Jameson Williams left Ohio State for Alabama. Let that sink in. Why did Juice choose The Fighting Nick Sabans? Why did Juice leave in the first place? What does it say about Ohio State's wide receiver room? Is this the beginning of a consistent exodus as at least one in the Willams camp has predicted? Duane Long is here to discuss that before we rank the top 10 Buckeyes in order for the 2022 NFL Draft. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

On Sunday, there was a bit of a recruiting surprise as Ohio State landed 3-star prospect Kye Stokes from Florida. However, calling Stokes a 3-star recruit is not something that people will be able to do for much longer as his offer list is extremely impressive and it looks like the Buckeyes landed a good one. Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that and look back on the NFL Draft from Ohio State's perspective. And here's a little tease: the reports that tight end Luke Farrell from OSU (who was taken by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first pick of the fifth round) is a 29-year-old former minor league baseball player are false. And you will get to hear Patrick and Dave figure that out in real time. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Just how clueless are NFL front offices? We are going to find out before 9 p.m. EST. The NFL Draft's first round is tonight. All eyes will be on Justin Fields and where he gets picked. Are the 49ers about to make the biggest mistake or biggest addition in years? The clock is seriously ticking. We are talking Fields and a whole lot more this a.m. with 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Witlfong. Nobody has been covering Fields longer and Wiltfong has some strong opinions on where he SHOULD land. We also go deep on Pete Werner and Justin Hilliard, two Buckeyes making a late push for more draft cash. But that's not all. Who is really to blame for Dasan McCullough flipping from Ohio State to Wiltfong's home-state Hoosiers? Can Ohio State win a battle with Georgia for a coveted Peach State lineman?

Stroud), it becomes clear it might not matter who wins the job — the Buckeyes are simply that loaded.

What if our Duane Long was appointed Ohio State's recruiting coordinator? The mind has trouble contemplating such a premise but this much is clear: Line play would be in focus. Like ... really in focus. So we asked Duane to come up with his top five most wanted prospects still out there in the Class of 2022. Skill players need not apply.

You wouldn't want to cover their grocery bill but you definitely want them protecting our quarterback and going after theirs (among other things). So sit back and listen to Duane get passionate about big dudes playing football. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
