Tackling what to expect at Buckeyes' spring game Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

Ohio State's spring game is tomorrow and there will be live tackling for the majority of the game. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus tackle other spring game topics such as:

* How much will we see of young players who are expected to play key roles this year like DEs Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau, plus WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka?

* How will the program honor the late Dwayne Haskins?

* Will there likely be overreactions on the play of backup QBs Kyle McCord and Devin Brown, both positively and negatively? Of course there will be! It's part of what makes the spring game fun!

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

Future QB found? | Spring Game specifics | International appeal Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

Has Ohio State identified its QB of the future?

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong sure thinks so. The No. 1 QB and overall player in the Class of 2024 - Arizonan Dylan Raiola - visited Ohio State recently and is trying to make it back for Saturday's Spring Game. Crystal Balls have rolled. West Coast recruiting experts have added to the story. It's looking good ... REAL good.

The Dean of Ohio State Recruting Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here in their usual Thursday slot to talk quarterback recruiting, elite running backs in the mix and so much more as this 30-minute, info-stuffed show makes a worldwide impact.

We also have a HUGE announcement about our Spring Game coverage and let you know what's what when it comes to Saturday's festivities.

RB Fletcher in for Buckeyes | FongBomb to land #1 overall 2024 recruit | What to expect at spring game Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

It was quite the interesting day of recruiting for Ohio State on Tuesday. The Buckeyes received a commitment from four-star running back Mark Fletcher, who is ranked as the No. 7 RB in the country in the 2023 class. Then late Tuesday evening, Steve Wiltfong dropped a "FongBomb" and put in a Crystal Ball prediction for the Buckeyes to land quarterback Dylan Raiola, who is the No. 1 overall recruit in the country for the 2024 class.

Switching gears from recruiting, what can fans expect to see at OSU's spring game on Saturday? Will there be any live tackling? What are we looking forward to seeing the most? How much of the new defense will Jim Knowles show?

Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle cover all of that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.
