Another portal departure for Buckeyes | Will there be any arrivals? | NFL Draft predictions Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

There is much to discuss on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. Marcus Hooker is the latest Ohio State player to put his name in the transfer portal. Are we surprised at any of the recent departures? How will this impact depth for the Buckeyes?

Also, will Ohio State look for an offensive lineman and perhaps another player or two in the portal? Is it time that the Buckeyes become importers and not just exporters? (Tip of the cap to Seinfeld.) Ohio State is now one under the limit of 85 scholarships.

Furthermore, what's going on with OSU's situation at kicker?

And of course the NFL Draft kicks off tomorrow night. We predict where each of the Buckeyes will get selected.

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

Potter in portal | How does this affect Buckeyes' depth at DE? Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Noah Potter has entered his name in the transfer portal. How does this impact Ohio State's depth situation at defensive end? Was this simply a case of the Buckeyes being very deep at DE and Potter feeling like there wouldn't be much playing time available for him?

Switching gears, what is the biggest concern for the 2022 Buckeyes? Is it the offensive line? Is it something else?

Also, there are returnees and new arrivals to talk about for Chris Holtmann's basketball Bucks.

Big recruiting weekend paying off already | Young Bucks who shined in spring game Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

The big recruiting weekend has already paid off for Ohio State as the Buckeyes landed a pair of 2023 prospects from the state of Florida on Sunday: cornerback Dijon Johnson and wide receiver Bryson Rodgers. This has vaulted the Buckeyes to the No. 2 class in the country in '23, per the 247Sports Composite.

Also, of course there is going to be plenty of spring game discussion on the show. Which young players helped themselves the most for OSU during the offense's 34-26 win over the defense on Saturday? Three that come to mind immediately are running back Evan Pryor, safety Kye Stokes and corner Jordan Hancock.
