Who was more in the wrong: Jimbo or Saban? | Over/under on national titles for Day? May 23, 2022

Show notes

Are we still talking about the dustup between Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban? You had better believe it. We can all agree it was hilarious. But beyond that, which coach was more in the wrong with their comments? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:

** Thoughts on Ryan Day's contract extension and raise.

** How many national titles does Steve think Day will win over the next few years? He gives what he considers the "over/under" on what you can expect. We think you'll be pleased.

** What's the latest with Ohio State's basketball team, including recruiting?

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

Saban/Jimbo are playing the feud | Which true frosh can help Buckeyes this year? May 20, 2022

Show notes

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher unloaded on Alabama coach Nick Saban on Thursday and his comments took the college football world by storm. Is the Morning 5 here for it? You had better believe it. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to talk a lot about the Fisher-Saban feud, including of course the hilarity of it, but also whether both men were actually speaking the truth. Bottom line? If you like dramatic movies or soap operas, your favorite one pales in comparison to what we saw yesterday.

Also on the docket, which true freshmen can help Ohio State this season? There won't be nearly as many true frosh that play in 2022 compared to 2021, but a few will need to round out the two deep and perhaps step up if injuries arise. Who are 10 true freshmen in particular that we feel will not redshirt and will at least be able to contribute to the Buckeyes' championship-winning efforts this fall? We break it all down.

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

Buckeyes attack Georgia | Whiny Saban | Future left tackle? May 19, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State's staff is on the road working hard. Much time has been spent in Georgia. How come? LOTS of great players live there.

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to talk all things recruiting for over 38 minutes. That's a lot of chatter.

Among the topics broached besides Peach State recruiting emphasis :

* Why is Nick Saban whining publicly?

* Is Olaus Alinen the left tackle of the future in Columbus?

* Ohio ... not as productive as New Jersey?

* Has Khaki pants found his QB?

There is so much more to enjoy. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ranking the Buckeyes' schedule from easiest to toughest May 18, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State has a difficult regular-season schedule in 2022 (and we now know Notre Dame will be a night game). What are the toughest games for the Buckeyes in reverse order this season? Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle tackle that subject on today's show, plus:

* What are thoughts on defensive line recruiting for the Buckeyes?

* How much can Dylan Raiola help recruit other top prospects to join him at OSU?

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

Can Day build a dynasty? | Defense to hang with offense? | Notre Dame opener predictions May 17, 2022

Show notes

Can Ryan Day build Ohio State into a dynasty? Just get one natty first, you say? What fun would that be?

Pat Murphy is here for Duane Long as we tackle that and a litany of other impactful queries?

All about the Michigan game. Feeling good about noon kickoff?

All about the Notre Dame game. Score predictions?

Carnell Tate? Can Brian Hartline do it ... AGAIN?

Defensive recruiting? Can they keep up with the offense?

Will the secondary have the depth to hold strong for an entire season?

We answered those questions and more. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Who will be breakout players on both sides of ball for Buckeyes? May 16, 2022

Show notes

On today's Morning 5, we examine who will likely be the breakout players on both sides of the ball for Ohio State in 2022. Some names like J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka are fairly obvious. But who are some others? Also on the agenda:

** What is Jim Knowles' contract situation? How long might he stay at OSU?

** When will the new field turf be installed at Ohio Stadium?

** What are expectations for the Buckeyes' offensive line?

That and much more is covered on a lengthy Monday 5ish as Dave Biddle flies solo.

National title or bust for Buckeyes? May 13, 2022

Show notes

Is it "national championship or bust" for Ohio State in 2022? That is usually a fool's errand, but it might be the case with this loaded roster and excellent coaching staff. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus give thoughts on our projected two-deep for the Buckeyes on both sides of the ball, the latest on OSU's recruiting efforts, running backs coach Tony Alford basically having to re-recruit Miyan Williams due to other programs trying to poach him and much more.

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

Raiola is in ... now what? | Peachy keen prospects galore May 12, 2022

Show notes

When a hangover is positive and lasts several days what is it called? We don't know the clinical term but we know this: Dylan Raiola is a Buckeye.

The No. 1 and QB and overall player in the Class of 2024 verbally committed to Ohio State at his birthday celebration in Arizona. Our Steve Wiltfong was there to help blow out the candles. What do Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter think of the addition?

What does it mean for the Class of 2024? Is Raiola the ultimate class ambassador?

What does it mean for Class of 2023 QB recruiting?

Yes, it's more post-commitment love to go with chatter on a litany of other topics and answers to great, viewer-submitted questions.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters.

Still celebrating Raiola | 1-10, how concerned about O-line? May 11, 2022

Show notes

Are we still celebrating Ohio State receiving a commitment from the No. 1 player in the country in the 2024 class, QB Dylan Raiola? You had better believe it. Also on today's show:

* Will OSU add a QB to its 2023 class or look for a transfer to add depth at the position next offseason?

* On a scale of 1-10, how concerned are we about the Buckeyes' offensive line in 2022? We're talking about the starters and the backups combined. Or are we not very concerned at all?

* How about this RB room that Tony Alford has put together!?

* Overall, how good will the Buckeyes' defense be in 2022?

All of that and more is coming your way as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for the Wednesday 5ish.
