Show notes

Ohio State is working to finish of the Class of 2023, make serious inroads with the Class of 2024, lord over the transfer portal and retain needed Buckeyes with a wandering eye.

Oh, might as well get ready for Georgia, too.

Lots going on for Ohio State. Lots for us to talk about.

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here.

Don't miss our chat on future Buckeye Arvell Reese - the Glenville star who has developed into a truly phenomenal prospect.

Who better to put it all in perspective than the beat's veteran scribe, our very own Steve Helwagen? Nobody. And that's why he's here.

We answer all the tough questions out there and even come up with a few of our own that will catch your fancy.

Buckeyes get new life, make CFP | Will they take advantage? Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

As Ryan Day has said himself multiple times already, Ohio State now has a new lease on life after making the College Football Playoff as the No. 4 seed. The Buckeyes will face off against defending national champion Georgia in Atlanta on Dec. 31. Will OSU take advantage of this opportunity? Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss that, running back recruiting and much more about the Buckeyes.

Show notes

It is a celebratory edition of BHH as Ohio State has made the College Football Playoff.

Can the Utes get it done? | Hartline sticking around | Will Buckeyes hit portal hard in 2023? Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

There is much to discuss about Ohio State football as Jonah Booker drops by for his usual Friday visit. JBook and Dave Biddle look ahead to tonight's Pac-12 Championship Game between USC and Utah. If the Utes pull the mild upset (the Trojans are favored by 2.5 points), the Buckeyes will be in position to make the College Football Playoff. Also on the docket:

* If USC wins but TCU loses, would 12-1 TCU get in over 11-1 Ohio State?

* Brian Hartline is staying at OSU which is obviously great news for the Buckeyes.

* Will there be changes to Ryan Day's staff this offseason?

* Should the Buckeyes hit the transfer portal hard in 2023?

* The 12-team playoff is coming in 2024 and JBook loves it.

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

Focused forward | Recruiting trail updates | Fearing Fickell? Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

We've begun to emerge from the fog. Our focus is forward.

Ok, did we have Mark Porter release his autopsy findings on The Game? Sure.

But then our focus really was forward. Bill Kurelic joined as well to talk all things recruiting after so many visitors were in Columbus.

We also previewed this weekend's Ohio high school state championship games and explored Luke Fickell's Ohio focus now that he's Wisconsin's head coach.

So you're telling us there's a chance Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State played dumb and then dumber in the second half against Michigan. However, despite that loss, the Buckeyes still have a chance at making the College Football Playoff. If USC loses to Utah in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday, the Buckeyes are in. Would they also get in with a TCU loss? Regardless, it was very good news for OSU last evening when the committee placed the Buckeyes at No. 5 and Alabama at No. 6 in the CFP rankings.

Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle talk all about that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

Wiltfong on 'The Game' visitors | Tuesday therapy session Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

Still hurting? Join the club. But the sun came up - kind of - in Ohio this morning so we will soldier on.

Sure, The Game's result was disheartening. But there were key recruits in attendance that could help fix future tussles.

We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to discuss the following prospects: Joshua Mickens, Caleb Downs, Damon Wilson, Lucas Keinholz and K.J. Bolden. Steve also goes into detail on how Wisconsin's hire of Luke Fickell will impact the Buckeyes given his Ohio ties.

Then Dan shares his thoughts on The Game and where the program goes from here.
