Position breakdown: Buckeyes' offensive line | Kevin Warren leaves new B1G commish scrambling May 22, 2023

Show notes

We are going to do a series of position breakdowns on the 5ish and today we begin with a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 offensive line. Who will be the starters most likely? Who will be the top backups in order? What are expectations for Justin Frye's group?

Also, it turns out Kevin Warren might have been even more incompetent than we thought, which frankly we did not believe was possible. The much-hyped Big Ten TV contracts? Well, as it turns out, they haven't even been finalized yet and schools within the conference are going to get at least $5 million less than they each anticipated. New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti is scrambling to clean up the mess that Warren left behind.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

That and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Fear factor? | Ohio's best on display May 18, 2023

Show notes

Ohio State is in the throws of crafting its Class of 2024 recruiting haul. It's going quite well.

When Jeremiah Smith visits another SEC or Florida school ... how should we feel?

Fine ... and we tell you why.

We also dive DEEP on Ohio's camp season and hit the topics you crave: Aaron Scott, offensive line recruiting, Air Noland vs. Jadyn Davis.

It's a recruiting knowledge extravaganza.

Over/under 10.5 wins for Buckeyes? | NIL settling down May 17, 2023

Show notes

The oddsmakers have set Ohio State's over/under win total for the 2023 regular season at 10.5. The 5ish is heavily leaning toward taking the over, despite the Buckeyes' difficult schedule this fall. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What do we expect to see from Kyle McCord this season, presuming he is the starting quarterback?

* Things appear to be settling down on the NIL front. We will explain.

* The Buckeyes need to be better on special teams this season. Will they?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Confidence level in Buckeyes' QBs? | How deep will D-line rotation go? | Fields or Stroud? May 15, 2023

Show notes

There is much to discuss about Ohio State football as Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for today's show. What are our confidence level in the Buckeyes' quarterbacks this season? How deep will Larry Johnson's rotation go on the defensive line this year? Who will be the starting safeties? What would we think if Oregon and Washington ended up joining the Big Ten? Who will have the better NFL career: Justin Fields or C.J. Stroud?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Buckeyes' 2023 defense has no weaknesses, many strengths? | Oregon, Washington to B1G? May 12, 2023

Show notes

While studying Ohio State's personnel on defense, two important things jump out: The Buckeyes appear to not have a weakness. And they appear to have many strengths. That would seem to be a good combination.

On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus:

* What does JBook think the Buckeyes are getting in defensive tackle transfer Tywone Malone?

* Is offensive line the biggest question mark on the team? And if so, how big of a concern is it?

* There is a report that Oregon and Washington have been approved for Big Ten admittance, but the invites have been delayed for multiple reasons. If the Ducks and Huskies do end up joining the Big Ten, what would we think about that?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Buckeyes land Tywone Malone | Can he make immediate impact at DT? May 10, 2023

Show notes

Ohio State has now landed eight scholarship players in the transfer portal this offseason, the most recent of course being defensive tackle Tywone Malone who announced he would be a Buckeye on Tuesday following two seasons at Ole Miss. What kind of impact can we expect Malone to have at OSU, both this season and in coming years? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What does the depth chart at defensive tackle now look like for the Buckeyes this fall?

* Is OSU now done adding players from the portal? By the way, they are 3 over the scholarship limit as it stands, something the 5ish is never concerned about. They will easily get to 85 before camp.

* Why is there not a statue of Archie Griffin outside Ohio Stadium or the Woody Hayes Athletic Center?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
