Who better to answer than our network's premiere voice on college basketball: Director of Basketball Recruiting Evan Daniels? The answer: Nobody.

It is an uncomfortable subject, but one that is on the minds of all college football fans: What will the 2020 season look like? Will it be played as scheduled? Might there be a delay to the start of the season, followed by a shortened season? And heaven forbid, there is one really bad possibility (although we don't think it will come to that). Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss why pro sports leagues planning to start in June could be what paves the way for college sports to start this fall. Also on the show: * Defensive end Tunmise Adeleye -- the No. 41 ranked recruit in the country in the 2021 class -- became the 16th commitment for the Buckeyes in their No. 1-ranked class on Wednesday. He was originally expected to announce his decision in August. * What stood out to JBook regarding Ryan Day's 45-minute teleconference with reporters on Wednesday? * Where do things stand with the other top recruits on OSU's board for 2021? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We have to start by thanking Tunmise Adeleye for timing his commitment to best suit this podcast. Yes, Ohio State added another standout to its epic Class of 2021 haul in Adeleye, a Texas native prepping at IMG in Bradenton, Fla. Adeleye is the No. 4 defensive end in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He'll likely line up in Scarlet and Gray opposite fellow commitment Jack Sawyer (the No. 3 defensive end). Is that good? Also, a recent review of available 5-star prospects in the class have three leaning towards Columbus, according to 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong. So guess who our guest is today! That's right, Wiltfong himself. Sit back and listen to a complete review of why Adeleye chose Ohio State, who could follow and other anecdotal examples of why the Buckeyes are recruiting at a level never seen before.
