All's quiet these days.

Spring Practice has halted for Spring Break.

The basketball team's season ended at the hands of a 7-foot-4 giant.

So ... not much to talk about, right?

You're here so you know that's dead wrong.

Dan Rubin and Pat Murphy step in for Dave Biddle for a hoops season postmortem and look ahead, talk opportunities for young football stars and of course fulfill our legal mandate to talk Devin Brown and Kyle McCord. We also let you know the future is bright for long-suffering Chicago Bears fans.

What stood out most from first day of spring ball for Buckeyes? Mar 08, 2023

Show notes

What stood out the most from the first day of spring practice for Ohio State on Tuesday? That is what Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle will discuss on today's show. Obviously, the quarterback competition between third-year sophomore Kyle McCord and redshirt freshman Devin Brown is front-and-center, and the media got a chance to interview both of them yesterday. What were our main takeaways from how they looked at practice and from their conversations with reporters?

Other main storylines included sophomore cornerback Davison Igbinosun -- who transferred from Ole Miss -- looking impressive, sophomore safety Sonny Styles looking as advertised, the important battles at center and right tackle, junior Jack Sawyer now strictly being a defensive end and more.

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

Spring has sprung. Well, perhaps not technically, but based on the nice weather in Columbus and one other important factor -- the beginning of Ohio State's spring football practices -- we are bidding winter farewell on the 5ish. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss the biggest questions facing the Buckeyes this spring and heading into the 2023 season. Spring ball kicks off Tuesday and the first 30-45 minutes will be open to the media.

Also, how did the Ohio State products fare at the NFL combine? Who helped themselves the most?

Ohio State returns all four of its scholarship running backs in 2023 -- including third-year player Evan Pryor who missed last season with a torn ACL. Also returning are third-year RB TreVeyon Henderson, fourth-year player Miyan Williams and second-year RB Dallan Hayden. How do we feel about this group? What can be expected out of Tony Alford's crew this fall?

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:

* We take a close look at the Buckeyes' cornerbacks. How is the talent and depth looking at corner?

* Zach Harrison said at the NFL combine that the Buckeyes will have the best defensive line in the country next season and specifically mentioned some second-year players on the rise. We will fill you in.
