Buckeyes back in the #1 saddle Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State had the No. 1 recruting class in the country for 2022 for a while, then they didn't, and now they do again. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus:

* The Buckeyes getting their most-recent commit, high 4-star WR Kaleb Brown from Chicago.

* Is 4-star DE Gabriel Harris also on track to be a Buckeye after decommiting from Florida State?

* How is Bax feeling about the Buckeyes' chances to land 5-star OL Zach Rice?

* Is 4-star OL Aamil Wagner basically a lock for OSU, or no?

* Rutgers is ranked No. 5 in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Wait, in the Big Ten? No, in the country.

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

Brown commits, Harris next? | Nekkid Jaunt safety combo Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State added a wide receiver to the Class of 2022 on Monday as Kaleb Brown made an expected commitment. But that wasn't the only news of the day. Florida State commitment Gabriel Harris - who visited Columbus last week - decommitted from the Seminoles and had an Ohio State offer shortly thereafter. You do the math.

Duane Long is here and we also tackled a number of questions submitted on the Front Row:

* Could Ohio State add two elite safeties - Zion Branch and Xavier Nwankpa - to the same class?

* Are we overlooking any future B1G Buckeyes?

* Which Class of 2022 prospect still on the board tops Duane's wish list?

All that and more coming at ya. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Recruiting weekend in review | What to expect from Buckeyes' 2021 linebackers Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

It was a huge recruiting weekend for Ohio State and we look back on it on today's show. What is the latest with 4-star safeties Zion Branch and Xavier Nwankpa? What about 5-star defensive lineman Omari Abor?

Also, the Buckeyes want at least four offensive linemen in their 2022 class and they have just one so far. Three OLs took visits to Columbus this weekend that OSU could land: Zach Rice, Aamil Wagner and George Fitzpatrick.

And to close the show, we take a close look at Ohio State's 2021 linebackers. All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Two new quarterback offers | Three years of Ewers? Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

Was yesterday a holiday in Columbus? It certainly felt like it.

With June's arrival removing pandemic restrictions, Ohio State held two camps for recruits yesterday.

Did anything interesting happen?

Did two Class of 2023 quarterbacks receive offers? Is Ohio State working St. Louis for another DB? Could Indiana produce two Buckeye defensive linemen in one class?

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to put all of Wednesday's festivities in context before sharing an interesting opinion out of the Quinn Ewers camp.

Ohio State released a ton of information following a FOIA request regarding communications between the likes of Gene Smith, Dr. Kristina Johnson, Kevin Warren, Ryan Day and many others about the Big Ten's 2020 football season. How did all of the information make Ohio State look? Pretty darn good. Warren? Not so much.
