'Extremely' concerned about OSU commitment | Weekend watch on tap?

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong galavants across this fine nation seeing the best college football prospects. This past weekend was no different. Wiltfong attended Under Armour's Future 50 gathering at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Ohioans C.J. Hicks and Gabe Powers were there and showed their stuff. 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. How could the latter's visit affect the recruitment of Landon Samson. Wiltfong has the answer(s). Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Brown commits, Harris next? | Nekkid Jaunt safety combo

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?

Cornering Florida | Who tops 2023 QB board?

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!

Buckeyes land fast-rising recruit | Luke Farrell is not 29 years old

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.
