The count is now up to 18 scholarship players that have entered their name in the transfer portal from Ohio State, with former 5-star WR Quincy Porter being the latest addition. It seems alarming on the surface, but this is the new normal in college football. Just look around at other programs and you will see this is true.

Upheaval has taken root at several college football programs. Not Ohio State. What does that mean? It means your Buckeyes are here to deal with upheaval effects - specifically recruits committed elsewhere that now have a potentially new take on their future. It's spatula season, 'Nutters!

Who are the targets and what are the chances they tumble into Ohio State's recruiting class? We dive deep.

Ohio State is stable. The defending national champions are ranked No. 1. Quite attractive as a destination, wouldn't you say? There are other, less stable programs garnering interest, among them Penn State, LSU and Florida. By that we mean, many prospects committed to those headless operations have prospects attracting another wave of interest. That interest is coming from stable programs like Ohio State. Defensive backs coach Tim Walton was on the road seeing a committed Gator on Friday night. Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter are here and we dive deep on that. Speaking of Penn State, the Nits come to Columbus this weekend and there are on-field and recruiting implications to discuss.  Considering we also spent quality time answering questions from our LIVE chatters, this is one of those shows you don't want to miss.

Seven games and two bye weeks are behind us. Now Ohio State enters the stretch run of its regular season with five games the next five Saturdays. The stretch begins at home against Penn State this week. What can be expected from the Nittany Lions, who showed life in a one-point loss against Iowa on Oct. 18? What do the Buckeyes need to clean up the most if they want to achieve their goals this season? Something Penn State is very aware of is the unprecedented in-season coaching firings we have seen this season in college football. The Nittany Lions have an interim head coach after dismissing James Franklin earlier this month. The latest to bite the dust is Brian Kelly at LSU, who didn't even complete four full seasons in Baton Rouge. Is this a one-year aberration, or might this be how college football looks in most seasons moving forward? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin also field questions from the live audience and much more.

Should we heed the direction of Bushwood Country Club manager Sandy MacReady?: "I want you to kill every gopher on the course!" That's a tad harsh, but your Buckeyes aim to treat the Minnesota Golden Gophers like Carl Spackler did. It's a night game at The Shoe. The weather is going to be sweet. Recruits are headed to town.

Ohio State has been impressive overall through the first four games of the season, but there is the feeling that the offense has been holding some things back. Will the Buckeyes open things up against visiting Minnesota this Saturday night? The Golden Gophers are 3-1, but gave up 27 points in a loss at Cal and gave up 28 points in a win over Rutgers. Therefore, this could be an opportunity to cut quarterback Julian Sayin loose and attack deep down the field on a more regular basis. Also, how about this OSU offensive line? It is somehow not getting enough attention. We are doing our small part to change that. That and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

When Ohio State hosted Ja'Dyn Williams for the Ohio game 10 days ago, many felt the Indiana commitment would receive the coveted Ohio State offer shortly thereafter. Maybe it depends on your definition of 'shortly thereafter' but that offer came yesterday. Our Garrick Hodge had the story you can read HERE. Now what? Will Williams flip? Where would he be utilized as a Buckeye? There's no better source on this than Mark Porter and The Grand Poobah hogs the spotlight all show long ... thankfully.

With the season less than a month away, one might think our focus has gone totally away from recruiting. Wrong! We always have recruiting on a front burner here and today is no exception. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to touch on the following topics: * Three top 60 prospects remain uncommitted in the Class of 2026's Top247. Ohio State is theoretically in the mix for all three. We dive deep on Bralan Womack, Darius Gray and Savion Hiter with their commitments scheduled for later this month. * Ohio State's season opener against visiting Texas is a prime time for the Buckeyes to entertain recruits. We peek at the burgeoning guest list while acknowledging some challenges in building attendance. * There is 300-plus pound prospect from Texas the Buckeyes have offered that boasts Ohio ties. He also lines up as Wildcat quarterback at times. We have video prove it. Meet Jalen Brewster. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Can you be still basking in the glow of the national championship, while simultaneously being concerned with Ohio State's recruiting efforts? Well, we would not recommend it, but we understand some Buckeye fans are nonplussed about OSU's recruiting efforts this cycle, particularly on the defensive line.

Well, it did not take long for the College Sports Commission's "NIL Go" clearinghouse to make waves. According to the director of Utah State's collective, Dalton Forsythe, "nearly 100 percent of collective-backed NIL deals are being denied, regardless of size or structure. The College Sports Commission has taken the position that collectives cannot serve a 'valid business purpose' — a standard that was never clearly communicated before implementation." On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss this situation and what might be coming down the pike. If an athlete's NIL deal is rejected -- and he challenges that ruling in a court of law -- the athlete would likely prevail, right? Or does the House settlement actually have teeth, allowing the clearinghouse to reject any and all deals from collectives? We also discuss how much Ohio State will miss Will Howard this season at quarterback -- particularly his ability in the RPO game and his leadership -- and much more.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith had very high praise for Julian Sayin in a story published by The Athletic recently. Smith went as far to say that the redshirt freshman quarterback "can make every throw" and that it is "going to be scary for opponents."

On today's show, Dave Biddle discusses this development, looks ahead to defensive tackle recruit Jamir Perez's "big announcement" this Friday and much more.

Well, that was quite a few days on the recruiting trail. The Glenville Pipeline is alive and well. Linebacker Cincere Johnson thrilled the 'Nutters with his commitment. The Hun pipeline? Not so much. Defensive end Luke Wafle is off to USC after Crystal Balls were rolled towards Columbus just 48 hours ago. Jonah Booker is here to discuss all the ramifications as the NIL era or whatever we are dealing with has taken center stage.

If you ever wanted to experience a show symbolic of the new NIL era, you've come to the right place. Show prep included getting ready for two commitments. By the time Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter graced today's BM5 ... things had changed? Or did they? Or did they change and then now could change again? We think Glenville linebacker Cincere Johnson will commit to Ohio State today at noon. We thought New Jersey defensive end Luke Wafle would follow suit about two hours later. 'Thought' is the operative word in the prior sentence. A certain West Coast school that plays B1G football has thrown a really expensive monkey wrench into the situation. It's a hang on kinda day on the Ohio State recruiting front. We also dove deep on the cavalcade of elite quarterbacks that have camped at Ohio State this month, perhaps the most impressive crew in total the Buckeyes have ever had.  Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

When Ohio State athletics boss Ross Bjork took the stage last week and clued us in on all the new NIL rules, what did you think? How will the Buckeyes fare in the updated era? Can they remain atop the food chain? Is it ... you know ... good to be King? We welcome in The People's Champ - Matt Baxendell - to dive deep on all the changes and possible ramifications. How will all look when practically applied by the NCAA and sherrifed by Deloitte - a multinational professional services network and one of the Big Four accounting firms.

The media knew Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork was holding a press conference on Thursday. What we did not know is that he would hold court for well over an hour and would cover so many interesting topics that we almost lost count. He discussed the ever-changing landscape of NIL in college sports -- including which OSU sports will receive money made available from the House settlement -- he talked about the new, streamlined NIL organization at Ohio State called Buckeye Sports Group, he discussed OSU trying to play more home night games, he went in-depth on Ohio Stadium renovations and much more.

Also, Ohio State's basketball program could not finish the deal with coveted wing transfer Darrion Williams, leaving them still with a gaping hole on their roster.

Could we interest you in the nation's top linebacker? How about the nation's second-ranked linebacker? Would you be OK if both became Buckeyes? Start getting OK ... maybe. Georgia native Xavier Griffin (No. 1 LB per 247Sports) de-committed from USC and will visit Ohio State. Georgia native Tyler Atkinson (No. 2 LB) is also a hot Buckeyes target. Feel free to dream about adding the top two linebackers and top two defensive backs (Blaine Bradford and Braylon Womack). Dreaming is free. The prospects won't be.  Bill Kurelic is here to get you completely caught up on recruiting targets, who is visiting and who Ohio State coaches are on the road checking out.

Depending on who you listen to, Michigan's penalties could be anywhere from severe, to barely a slap on the wrist. However, the university did self-impose a two-game suspension on head coach Sherrone Moore recently, and the NCAA has reportedly scheduled its Committee on Infractions hearing for June 6-7. What do we think will happen? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

The Dean. The Grand Poobah. On the road. Same destination. Wednesday's workout at Delaware Hayes high in the Columbus suburbs likely needed extra security given our guys in the same place to handle paparazzi. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter were there to see Favour Akih and other Ohioans show and have a complete report. We also dive deep on two Glenville possibilities as Mark travels to spend his day at Pipeline High. All that plus a huge (possible) commitment coming on Monday.

Jim Knowles spoke about his departure from Ohio State and what led up to it during a wide-ranging interview with Heather Dinich of ESPN on Tuesday. What did we make of Knowles' comments? And is there a chance things worked out well in this situation for all parties involved? Ohio State is very happy with the hiring of Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator. Penn State is happy about poaching Knowles from the Buckeyes. And Knowles is happy to be in his home state making north of $3 million per year. Yes, there's a very good chance it worked out well for all sides, but it's still an interesting story. And keep in mind we just heard one side of the story in Dinich's piece. Also on today's show, what might the race for the Big Ten championship look like this year? What about the national title? How are those Heisman odds looking? Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to delve into all of that and more.

Californian? In. Ohioan? Out. Trend? We had to bring in Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter for such weighty topics.  Our dynamic duo attempts to put in perspective the addition of Kayden Dixon-Wyatt and the exit of Elbert Hill. If you need details, we've got 'em. If you need opinions ... we've got those, too. The Poobah also checks in from the road with a litany of vibes on prospects he's seen over the last week in Ohio. Jamier Brown update? Quality time with RJ Day and his pops? All of that ... and more. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Stop us if you have heard this one before: Brian Hartline landed a top wide receiver recruit for Ohio State. Yes, the best in the business at recruiting -- and developing -- WRs struck again on Sunday. The Buckeyes received a commitment from Kayden Dixon-Wyatt who is ranked as the No. 6 WR in the country and the No. 59 overall prospect in the 2026 class. Ohio State has the No. 3 class in the country in the 247Sports Composite rankings, and the Buckeyes have the second-best average player rating. Dixon-Wyatt becomes the fourth wideout in OSU's class and is the third-highest ranked player in the class, behind WR Chris Henry Jr. and safety Blaine Bradford. Also on today's show, Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin are going to take a close look inside the trenches for Ohio State this season. In quite a twist from last year at this time, the offensive line looks strong, but there are big concerns about defensive tackle depth. If we had to pick, which one of these guys will play the most snaps as the top backup DT this season: Tywone Malone, Eric Mensah, Jason Moore or Will Smith Jr.? Who would you choose? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Unless something drastically changes, it does not appear as though Ohio State will add a defensive tackle via the transfer portal. As head coach Ryan Day said earlier this week, the Buckeyes have been looking, but they are not going to add a DT just for the sake of doing it. Does this basically mean Ohio State's roster is set for 2025? That is one of the subjects tackled by Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle on the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State came within one pick of tying the all-time NFL Draft record over the weekend, but "only" 14 Buckeyes were drafted. We were pleasantly surprised in the first round when four OSU players came off the board, the most of any program this year. We also liked seeing three Buckeyes drafted in the second round. But then some strange things began to happen. Jack Sawyer falling to the fourth round? No one saw that coming. Will Howard falling to the sixth round and being drafted behind quarterbacks such as Dillon Gabriel and Kyle McCord? Seth McLaughlin going undrafted? Is the Rimington Award winner even allowed to be undrafted? Apparently so. But hey, it was still an excellent draft for the Buckeyes and we are going to talk about it on today's show. Also, OSU head coach Ryan Day will meet with the media tomorrow (Tuesday) which will be his first press conference since the relatively brief one following the spring game. Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss all of that and more on the Monday 5ish.

Well, that was unexpected. And awesome. In a year where Ohio State was supposed to dominate the second night of the draft (rounds 2-3) -- which will still happen to some degree -- the Buckeyes actually had more first rounders than anyone else with four. Most analysts only had wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and offensive tackle Josh Simmons projected as first rounders. Both of them did go in the opening round, and so did offensive lineman Donovan Jackson and defensive tackle Tyleik Williams. Ohio State has now produced 95 first-round draft picks all time, the most of any program. What will tonight look like? What else is going on in the world of OSU football?

What would make the 2025 season a successful one for Ohio State? Do the Buckeyes have to become the first team in school history to win back-to-back national championships for the season to be considered a success? What about a scenario where OSU defeats Michigan and makes the College Football Playoff, but falls short of the national title? Perhaps even losing in the quarterfinals. Would that be a successful season in your book? That is the main topic on today's show with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle. Also discussed is how certain players helped themselves this spring and whether the Buckeyes will be able to land an impact defensive tackle in the transfer portal.

Tell the truth: How confident were you when Chris Henry, Jr., verbally committed to Ohio State in late July of 2023? Were you a 'Wake me when signs' type? Henry, Jr., the former Ohioan now starring for California powerhouse Mater Dei, shut down all other suitors earlier this week and confirmed his commitment to Ohio State. Score another for WRU. Our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter dive deep on Henry, Jr., dating back to his time on the Ohio gridiron (and hardcourt, where he was a standout hoopster) and projecting how he will fit into the Buckeyes upon arrival. Then it's get-to-know Favour Akih time. The Class of 2026 running back from Delaware (Ohio) Hayes will be back in Columbus this weekend. Akih has an announced final trio of Ohio State, Miami and USC.

Ohio State's secondary calls itself "BIA" (Best In America). The Buckeyes made a strong case for themselves in 2024 when they helped lead OSU to the national championship. This year's group is losing cornerback Denzel Burke , nickel Jordan Hancock and safety Lathan Ransom, who were definitely key cogs on the national title squad. However, it is not a stretch in the least to say the Buckeyes might be even better in the secondary in 2025. Also, have you noticed the way OSU's players absolutely gush about new defensive coordinator Matt Patricia? Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

The last three times our Tuesday-Thursday trio convened for this show we had a fresh commitment to discuss. Make it four for four! And this one was the most surprising yet. Ohio State garnered a commitment on Monday from Blaine Bradford. Not only is he the nation's No. 1 Class of 2026 defensive back, according to the 247Sports Composite, the 6-foot-1, 207-pound safety is from Baton Rouge, La. Is Ohio State on its way to crafting another epic secondary haul? Does the Bradford pledge affect Mississippi safety Bralan Womack (the nation's No. 2DB who is scheduled to visit this coming weekend).

What can be expected from Ohio State's defense in Matt Patricia's first season at the helm as defensive coordinator? The media met with Patricia -- plus Ryan Day and all of his assistant coaches -- on Friday and much information was gleaned.

Fifteen Buckeyes descend on Indy for the NFL's annual Draft Combine. Doctors will poke and prod. Buckeyes will run and jump. NFL brass will get Buckeyes of interest behind closed doors.

No more TreVeyon Henderson. No more Qunishon Judkins. We've grown accustomed to great running back play here and the expectations for James Peoples and West Virgina transfer C.J. Donaldson are sky-high for the title defense season coming up. But this is Ohio State. We also need a future so bright you need to wear shades. Given that, meet Savion Hiter. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are back to discuss Hiter, the nation's No. 1 running back and big-time Ohio State target. Let's just say our resident scout was impressed and you will be, too.

How long have you been listening to the dulcet tones of Bucknuts' audio exploits?

There is much debate on how the future of the College Football Playoff will and should look. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle give their opinions on how the CFP should be shaped moving forward, in terms of how many teams make the cut, how the seeding is determined and all the rest. We also look ahead to spring ball which is less than a month away for the Buckeyes. Also, unfortunately it appears as though Steve Helwagen was correct at this time last year when he told then-athletic director Gene Smith that OSU's basketball program was "dead on the vine." Smith didn't like the comment, but the truth hurts sometimes. The Buckeyes just suffered one of the most embarrassing losses we can remember, 70-49 at home against a bad Northwestern team. But don't worry, the vast majority of the show is about Buckeye football. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

New offensive line coach Tyler Bowen took over less than a week ago and has made his first offer. Is the offensive lineman from Ohio, California, Texas or Florida? No. Evan Goodwin is from the recruiting hotbed of Bauxite, Arkansas! Of course! We dive deep (see: VIDEO) on the new offer as we try and learn what Bowen is looking for in an offensive lineman. We then broke down the recruitment of Elbert 'Rock' Hill from Akron Hoban. Guess who also wants Ohio's top-ranked Class of 2026 prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite.

There was a lot of smoke over the last week that Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen might join Ryan Day's staff at Ohio State. However, that no longer appears to be in the cards. So, what will Day do and when will he do it? Well, there is really no rush, although we know he won't wait too much longer. Will the final plan be to promote Matt Guerrieri and Tim Walton to co-DCs?

We are happy to welcome back Gee Scott Sr. to the Bucknuts Morning 5 today. How high is the standard within Ohio State's football program? Well, we all know it is very high, but as he is known to do, Mr. Scott aka The Buckeye Preacher articulated it perfectly. The standard is 'Straight A's across the board." Why? Because there "Ain't no B-plus in Buckeye Nation." That is just a sprinkling of the wisdom and insight that Gee brings to the show.

The similarities between Ohio State's 2014 and 2024 national championships are striking. Each team was left for dead multiple times during the regular season, only to go on a magical postseason run and prove all of their doubters extremely wrong. 2014 of course featured the first season of the 4-team College Football Playoff and the eventual national champs were the final team to make it. Ten years later, the 12-team CFP was born ... and the Buckeyes won that one, too. After being the lowest-seeded team to host a first-round game (seed No. 8). There are more we can point to as well, but those are a few. This brought to mind a question: Which coaching job was the best? 2014 or 2024? And you can't just say "Yes." You have to pick one. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle do exactly that on today's show, plus discuss the Jim Knowles situation, teams coming after Carnell Tate and much more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We could get used to these post-title winning vibes. Nothing like earning the hardest-fought title in college football history. So what comes next?

Ohio State's first-round College Football Playoff game against Tennessee is just 10 days away, which is a bit hard to imagine. The Buckeyes have been the target of a lot of criticism lately, mainly for the egg they laid against a bad Michigan team to close out the regular season.

After much debate, we now know what the College Football Playoff field looks like. And it appears to be a daunting draw for Ohio State. The No. 8-seeded Buckeyes will host ninth-seeded Tennessee on Dec. 21 (8 p.m. ET; ABC/ESPN), and if the Buckeyes prevail, they will take on No. 1-seeded Oregon at the Rose Bowl in the quarterfinals.  What do we think of the Buckeyes' possible path in the CFP? Can they go on a magical four-game run? Might they be one-and-done against a Tennessee team that is very good on both sides of the ball up front? And how in the world did sixth-seeded Penn State get such a favorable draw? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State landed in what appears to be a very favorable No. 6 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday night. The Buckeyes will likely drop a spot or two in the final rankings, but they appear to be a lock to host a first-round playoff game. Also, is this the weirdest signing day ever? College football managed to shoehorn in a signing day on Dec. 4, which is one of the strangest decisions we can remember. We'll keep saying this until we're blue in the face: the early signing period should be the final week of July, right before training camp begins. The good news is this means the media will get a chance to speak with OSU head coach Ryan Day today. It is the signing day press conference, but of course many questions will be asked about the Buckeyes' offensive and special teams debacle in their loss to Michigan last Saturday.

Reading between the lines, it sure sounds like changes are on the way for Ohio State's defense following its disappointing performance at Oregon. Not only did head coach Ryan Day say on Tuesday that he has been more involved with the defense, but he agreed with Nick Saban who referred to the Buckeyes' pass rush as "antiquated."  Can OSU find more of a modern pass rush? Or anything that is markedly more effective than what they've been producing? Also, who would be the next man up at safety if Lathan Ransom has to miss some time? The three-man backfield of Steve Helwagen, Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

Will we see more and more players do this? Or will this likely be more of an outlier? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Through four games, there is a lot to like about this Ohio State team. A few things that come to mind are Jeremiah Smith, the safety tandem of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom, the blocking from TreVeyon Henderson, the overall production from Henderson and Quinshon Judkins at running back and much more. There are also a few things that need to get cleaned up such as tackling, starting games slow and making sure the best linebackers are the ones seeing the most snaps.

Ohio State heads into its second game of the 2024 season against visiting Western Michigan as 39-point favorites on Saturday (7:30 p.m. ET; BTN). After looking rather pedestrian offensively in the first half last week against Akron, will the Buckeyes be a dominant force against the Broncos?

Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus: * Give final score predictions on tomorrow night's game. * Take a look at several individual and/or position group storylines, such as Brandon Inniss taking over as the punt returner, the play of the offensive line and more. * Look ahead to tomorrow's Texas at Michigan game which kicks off at noon.

We are just three days away from Ohio State's season-opener against Akron and the news continues to pour in. On Tuesday, Ryan Day informed the media that third-year sophomore Tegra Tshabola will be the starting right guard and junior Sonny Styles will be the starting weak-side linebacker. Also, Day revealed that offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will coach from the press box and not the field this season. The BM5 is a fan of that development. Also, what did we think of the Netflix doc on Connor Stalions? Is it possible that a show that was attempting to make him a sympathetic figure actually made him look worse? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

We have reached game week, friends! Ohio State will kick off its highly-anticipated 2024 season in just five days against visiting Akron (3:30 p.m. ET; CBS). On today's show, Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle are going to make five predictions for the Buckeyes' season (including one that involves OSU and college football teams in general). The predictions will stem from these questions from Biddle: 1. Barring injury, will Tegra Tshabola start every game for the Buckeyes this season? 2. What post-regular-season honors, if any, will Will Howard earn? (Examples, All-Big Ten first/second/third/fourth-team, Heisman winner/finalist, All-American, etc.) 3. Who will lead Ohio State in rushing and how many yards will they have? 4. Who will lead the Buckeyes in sacks and how many will they have? 5. Name the 12 teams that will make the College Football Playoff, beginning with the champions of the Power 4 conferences. And then Rubin will add five predictions of his own.

Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom are going to form one of the best safety tandems in college football this season. It sparked a question that we have been pondering: When was the last time Ohio State had a safety combination this good? Also, is the other shoe going to drop at Michigan relatively soon, or should fans not get their hopes up since the NCAA moves at a very slow pace? Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle also take a look at biggest developments from the Buckeyes' training camp and more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Well, there are the obvious developments such as Will Howard being named the starting quarterback. But what about beyond that? What have been some of the most interesting developments on both sides of the ball for the Buckeyes? Also, what in the world is going on with offensive line recruiting? Why isn't OSU offering more big guys up front since they cannot close the deal often enough with out-of-state O-linemen? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle tackle that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

The media interviewed Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and all five scholarship quarterbacks on Tuesday. It was quite the interesting day as many notable pieces of information were gleaned about the QBs, the offensive line and more. Speaking of the QBs, when will Ryan Day name his starter? And who will it be? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin make their predictions on today's show, plus: * Will Howard has dropped about 15 pounds to 234 since arriving at Ohio State and is the fastest QB on the roster at 22.1 MPH. All five QBs run over 20 MPH, with Lincoln Kienholz second at 21.9 MPH. * We continue to hear good things about the way Julian Sayin is practicing -- and we saw it for ourselves during the first four practices of camp -- and he was also impressive in front of the media yesterday. So was Howard. Really, all five of the quarterbacks are very impressive young men. As for Sayin, if called upon this year as a true freshman, could he get the job done? * You will like this a lot: Regarding the Buckeyes' offensive line, Kelly said, "I see the makings of a really good unit up front." We're highly intrigued. * Is Caleb Downs really going to play some running back this year? Are we buying that at all? * Plus, we'll hit on any pertinent recruiting topics.

Jarquez Carter is ready to make his call. The Class of 2025 defensive tackle from Newberry, Fla., will announce his college choice on Thursday.

Unfortunately, Ohio State will likely be without third-year sophomore running back T.C. Caffey this season due to a knee injury, per multiple sources. The Buckeyes have an excellent 1-2 punch at tailback with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, but there is a lack of depth behind them. The only other two scholarship RBs on the roster are true freshmen James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon. What do we expect out of Peoples and Williams-Dixon this season? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * If any of the top four wide receivers go down this year, who would be the next man up? Bryson Rodgers? Jayden Ballard? Mylan Graham? * What is JBook's vibe on the upcoming announcements of Vernell Brown III and David Sanders Jr? * Any concerns that one or more of OSU's current 2025 verbal commits could flip?

Ohio State is streaking towards the No. 1 overall class in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Guess who's making a serious run at the same crown? Them Ducks. We also have two Ohioans to discuss - Trey McNutt and Will Conroy. Will that duo need to adjust to the Western time zone for college? And invest in galoshes? It's possible. Oregon is not only predicated to be chief competition for B1G on-field supremacy, Dan Lanning and Co. are recruiting with a purpose (and Nike backing, let's be honest).

We have been touting the virtues of this D-line, but will they actually prove they are among the nation's best when the lights come on? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin delve into that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

It's Friday. It's a BM5-Happy Hour combo deal. It's Pat Murphy. It's a show we hope you enjoy. Our live viewers took control and we followed. Great questions were submitted on the following topics: * When does Ryan Day name his QB starter? * Who leads Ohio State in rushing this season? * Will the Buckeyes add two defensive tackles to the mix ... and soon? * What will the D-Line rotation be for the squad this season? * Will Justin Fields reach his potential in Pittsburgh? And there were plenty more queries addressed that dazzled the senses and thrilled the mind! Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

The game of football is won in the trenches. You've heard this. We have to agree. It starts and ends with the big guys up front on offense and defense.  WRU? Sure. QB factory? Affirmative. DBU? We can make a strong argument. But the trenches ... the trenches. Which brings us to defensive linemen Trajen Odom and Maxwell Roy. Two guys that get it done in their respective high school trenches. Our Bill Kurelic has rolled Crystal Balls for both to do the same for Ohio State. We get you totally up to speed on that duo and their impending commitments, offer info on David Sanders, Dorian Brew, Jordan Davison and others before a deep dive on new offensive lineman commitment Jake Cook.  Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

We know the Buckeyes have a star-studded crew of veteran talent this season. That's what happens when a class replete with NFL Draft worthy talent basically all decide on another season with Ohio State. The Natty is the focus. But after that, the 2025 NFL Draft promises to be a Buckeye-flavored event. That's why Dane Brugler is here. The Athletic's NFL Draft Expert recently penned an article theorizing Ohio State could boast the biggest draft class - EVER - next April at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc.  It's not hyperbole. An argument can be made Brugler was conservative in his estimate.  We dive deep with Dane on a potentially epic class, hypothesize which Buckeyes will be picked and when before taking questions submitted via The Front Row.

Ohio State has the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation for 2025, so of course we are going to focus on the negatives. Just joking. However, what are thoughts on the Buckeyes' offensive line recruiting efforts thus far? They landed a great in-state offensive tackle in Carter Lowe, who is ranked as the No. 33 overall player in the country by 247Sports. However, will Justin Frye be able to reel in any of the top OL prospects from out of state? Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell discuss that on today's show, plus: * The Sporting News ranked Ohio State as having the seventh-toughest schedule in the Big Ten this season. The publication ranked Michigan as having the toughest slate. Thoughts? * What do we think about the Buckeyes' special teams this year? Can this finally be a weapon and not a weakness?

The beat goes on for Ohio State's 2025 recruiting class as the Buckeyes landed the No. 2 safety prospect in the country, Faheem Delane. The Buckeyes had already boasted the best class in the nation in terms of average player ranking. Well, now they are the No. 1 class when equating both quality and quantity ... and they only have 14 commits in the class. OSU's average player ranking that is north of 95 is almost unheard of.

What is the most-improved position group on Ohio State's team this year? That is the main topic Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle tackle on today's show. Could it be the offensive line? What about running back with not only TreVeyon Henderson returning (and hopefully staying healthy) but welcoming in Quinshon Judkins as a transfer? Or even though the Buckeyes' secondary was very good last year, could the answer to the main topic of the show be the defensive backs. Not only did Denzel Burke, Jordan Hancock and Lathan Ransom decide to return for one more year, but Davison Igbinosun is also back. Furthermore, the Buckeyes landed the best player in the transfer portal regardless of position, safety Caleb Downs. Could it be quarterback with Will Howard likely replacing Kyle McCord? Could it be a different position like the linebackers? There are no right or wrong answers here (unless we say otherwise) but we thought it would be a fun topic to discuss. We will also talk the latest on the recruiting front and more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Welcome to the Memorial Day edition of the Bucknuts Morning 5. First and foremost, our deepest gratitude for all of the men and women who gave their lives fighting for our country. They are the heroes. And they allow us to do things like enjoy college football. Speaking of college football, what will the future of the sport look like after the landmark settlement last Thursday which will allow schools to directly pay their athletes? How will the money be divided? What might happen to non-revenue sports? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Memorial Day 5ish.

A landmark settlement on Thursday between the NCAA and three federal antitrust cases will pave the way for Ohio State and other major conference members to directly pay their players. The settlement will pay "roughly $2.7 billion in damages to past and current athletes over the next 10 years," per ESPN. But the aspect of the settlement that we will all remember is that the parties have agreed to a revenue-sharing system where schools can pay up to $20 million to their players. But how will that $20 million be divided? Will the football players get the vast majority of that money, since they are the ones generating the most revenue? And will it be equally distributed among all players? Will the star players get more? And how exactly would that be determined? Yes, we have a lot of questions about this. Another one being ... what is going to happen to a lot of the non-revenue sports? Are we going to look up 5 or 10 years from now and see far less non-revenue sports across collegiate athletics? Also: Are we headed down a path where the Big Ten and SEC break away from the NCAA? Dave Biddle and Jonah Booker discuss all of that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

Jaden Rashida's $10 million lawsuit against Florida, including head coach Billy Napier, is fascinating. We wonder if this is basically a one-off, or perhaps the start of a trend in college football when NIL promises are not kept. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus: * Thoughts on the Buckeyes' 2025 recruiting class and what might transpire over the next two months. * Ohio State's 2024 offensive line is the biggest question mark on the team.

We bounce around to several Ohio State topics on today's show as Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle. Items on the docket include: * When we did the show last Monday, the Buckeyes' odds to win the 2024 national championship were +425. That was an improvement over the +500 odds that OSU had in late April. Well, now the odds have improved once again. Ohio State is now listed at +350 to win it all, just barely behind Georgia at +325. Then it's a big jump to the team with the third-lowest odds -- Texas -- at +750. Oregon is next at +900. We just find it interesting that the Buckeyes' odds improve seemingly each week, while the odds for the vast majority of other teams have held steady. * The nation's No. 1 safety recruit, Trey McNutt, is going to take all of his official visits between May 31 and the end of June. What are our vibes as far as the Buckeyes landing McNutt? * Any concern that Ohio State might lose the nation's No. 2 corner, Na'eem Offord? Or is he just having some fun with the process and there is nothing to worry about here? * Here is one we didn't expect to see: Fanatics is suing Marvin Harrison Jr., claiming he breached a "term sheet" agreement last year.  * Mike Conley Jr. continues to have a very good -- and frankly underrated -- NBA career. Conley, 36, is the starting point guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who upset the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals last night. It was 17 years ago when Conley helped lead the Buckeyes to the 2007 national championship game. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
