If you're on Bucknuts, you're likely a fan of the "Bucknuts Morning 5", our daily radio show/podcast that talks all things Ohio State football, basketball, recruiting, and more. You're also probably familiar with the "Bucknuts Roundtable" during the season, where our experts share opinions on the upcoming game and other relative topics. After getting a lot of requests to do the Roundtable in podcast format, and seeing the great success of the BM5, we thought it would be a great idea to kind of mash the two together, with a focus on recruiting. Thus, the creation of "Bucknuts Recruiting Radio". Want daily inside scoop on the Buckeyes? Get VIP access with a 7-Day FREE Trial now! This is the ninth episode of BRR, a podcast that will hopefully become a mainstay here on Bucknuts. The goal of the show is to bring on Bucknuts experts, national and other team experts, other media members, recruits, coaches, and more, who can shed some light into the big storylines around Ohio State's recruiting efforts. It's going to be a longer form show that could be roundtable or interview format, and should be highly entertaining for the recruitniks out there. The previous episode of BRR featured Brian Dohn breaking down Ohio State's recruiting efforts on the East Coast. This next episode features 247Sports' Allen Trieu, giving some great insights on the Buckeyes' efforts in the state of Michigan, including: *His thoughts on the Urban Meyer situation and how it has impacted recruits in the Midwest *Why Ohio State has had so much success recruiting in "the state up north" *Scouting report on OSU quarterback commit Dwan Mathis *Where he thinks key Ohio State targets are going to play in college All of that and more on the latest episode of Bucknuts Recruiting Radio!

It was a huge weekend for Ohio State's men's basketball team as head coach Chris Holtmann and his staff landed 5-star point guard DJ Carton.

Who might be next to join Carton and Alonzo Gaffney in OSU's 2019 class? Perhaps E.J. Liddell? On the football front, what should you expect from Ohio State's wide receivers this season?

We have no doubt at Bucknuts that a daily Big Ten football call-in show on Big Ten Network (yes, taking a page out of Paul Finebaum's book on the SEC Network) would do very well. The question is whether BTN would ever take up such a venture. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for an in-depth discussion about that, plus: * What is a bigger concern for Ohio State entering the 2018 season: Offensive line, or linebackers? * Will Tuf Borland actually play this season? If so, how effective will he be? * Bucknuts readers don't seem worried about Michigan's recruiting efforts in Ohio. But are Buckeye fans ignoring history?

What is up with the budding St. Louis-to-Ohio State pipeline? And is Cleveland Glenville jealous? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to tackle the former topic, but not the latter. Ezekiel Elliott is of course originally from the St. Louis area, and he became a household name across the country while at OSU. Then in the Buckeyes' 2018 recruiting class, they landed a pair of promising wide receivers from St. Louis: Kamryn Babb and Cameron Brown. And looking at 2019 recruiting, two of the top WRs in the country -- Jameson Williams and Marcus Washington -- both greatly favor Ohio State, according to the Crystal Ball predictions. Do Buckeye fans have Zeke to thank for the fact that so many highly-ranked St. Lou prospects are looking closely at OSU? JBook answers that. Also on the docket: * The latest on Jack Miller, Zach Harrison, Tyler Davis and Darnell Wright on this recruiting-themed edition of the Friday extravaganza.

Jim Harbaugh didn't quite ignore recruiting the state of Ohio during his first three seasons as Michigan's head coach, but he came pretty darn close. Especially considering the fact that recruiting the Buckeye State was the lifeblood of the Wolverines' program for years. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss Harbaugh's recruiting efforts in Ohio, including the quality of the players he's recruiting, and whether Ohio State should be a little nervous. Also on the docket: * Thoughts on our newest feature on this site, Bucknuts Brackets. We ranked the best players of the Urban Meyer era at OSU from 1-32, and now readers of the site are going to vote to see who is the best Buckeye since Meyer took the reins. * Thoughts on 2020 quarterback prospect Jack Miller, who could commit to Ohio State as early as this weekend. * And what are opinions on the Buckeyes' 2019 QB commit, Dwan Mathis? * What do fans need to know about OSU football tickets going on sale to the public this Friday?
