Can Ohio State ever hold off Alabama for the No. 1 recruiting class? Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

The late signing period for the 2021 class begins Wednesday, and Class of 2022 recruiting is already well underway for Ohio State. Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means take a look at the national landscape and debate whether the Buckeyes -- a runner-up for the nation's top recruiting class a handful of times in the past decade, can ever sign the No. 1 class. More specifically, is Alabama such a different animal from a recruiting standpoint that OSU should not even compare itself to the perennial champ. They break down how class size plays a role, and specifically, why a smaller class size in 2022 may play a factor in future rankings.

How Ohio State fans view transfers (fine, it's kind of a Tate Martell podcast) Jan 30, 2021

Show notes

On this Saturday Buckeye Talk Podcast, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means ask questions about one of the most controversial former Buckeyes in recent years -- Tate Martell. But it's not only about Tate, for those who are tired of the one-time OSU quarterback who transferred two years ago without starting a game.

The guys, with the help of a texter survey, dig into how OSU fans feel about players who transfer, and whether that might change in the future. They also look at some other transfer quarterbacks in the Big Ten this offseason, discuss how successful the Buckeyes might have been with Martell at quarterback, talk about where Martell should go next now that he's transferring again, and then end the pod with how many marshmallows they could fit in their mouths.

It's Martell and marshmallows on Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.

Also, which assistant on the entire staff did the best job in 2020, and which one has the toughest challenge ahead for 2021?

Will Michigan challenge Ohio State with Jim Harbaugh's revamped coaching staff? Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

Some Ohio State fans were probably surprised that Michigan opted to give Jim Harbaugh a new contract -- even one with nearly unprecedented terms. Over the past couple of weeks he has also revamped his entire staff. Almost every position either turned over with a new coach coming in or saw a change in duties. The staff is also almost entirely comprised of coaches in their 30s.

Could this be a turning point for the Wolverines? Doug, Nathan and Stephen discuss the possible benefits of this new approach, and debate whether or not it can put Michigan back in position to compete with Ohio State and beyond.

Passing out grades for Ohio State's offensive assistant coaches Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

If you listened to the live postseason survey episode of Buckeye Talk, you heard us reference a couple of questions about the assistant coaching staff that we held off on for time. Those questions spawned this episode grading the offensive assistant coaches and another to come on the defense. We discuss the various aspects of job performance for Kevin Wilson, Greg Studrawa, Tony Alford, Brian Hartline and Corey Dennis and how the offensive staff as a whole is performing coming out of the 2020 season.

Where Ohio State should look for Greg Mattison's successor as co-defensive coordinator Jan 23, 2021

Show notes

Ryan Day announced the retirement of co-defensive coordinator Greg Mattison on Friday morning, and the Buckeyes' search for his replacement leads our discussion. What kind of coach -- age, position speciality, background -- should Ohio State prioritize? What coaches with ties to Day or Ohio would make sense as Mattison's successor?

We also delve into the other topics of conversation from Friday morning's teleconference. How will Day handle the three-man quarterback battle this spring? Where is Ohio State on scholarship numbers and what does that mean for a couple of big recruiting options still on the board?

Thanks as always for listening to Buckeye Talk.
