He's back.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is back from vacation and brought presents from his trip.

* Ohio State's quest for Kiyaunta Goodwin is not close to being over even though the offensive lineman is expected to commit to Kentucky soon. Why? Wiltfong explains.

* Steve made a Crystal Ball prediction for Ohio State to land a coveted running back. What's the deal?

* With pandemic recruiting restrictions largely going away in June, what can we expect to see at Ohio State and campuses nationally?

Who was Day talking to? | Next Orlando Pace? Apr 13, 2021

Spring Practice is rolling. So is recruiting. Let's do this.

Mark Porter's latest offer evaluation has him making Orlando Pace comparisons. Is Payton Kirkland that dude?

Kiyaunta Goodwin seems Lexington-bound. Choosing the Wildcats over Ohio State?

Ryan Day went into great detail yesterday about every Buckeye's personal depth chart journey. Who do we think he was addressing?

Is Craig Young the new and improved Tyler Moeller?

Duane Long is here to wax poetic on each of these subjects.

Final week of spring ball for Buckeyes | What's stood out thus far? Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Ohio State kicked off its final week of spring practice Monday morning and our Steve Helwagen is there covering it for us. We will also speak with head coach Ryan Day following practice. In the meantime, Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for the Monday 5ish to delve into what has stood out most to us during spring ball thus far. Topics include but are not limited to quarterback, running back, linebackers and defensive backs.

Who will be starting center for Buckeyes? Apr 09, 2021

Show notes

With Harry Miller missing spring with a minor injury, Matthew Jones has been getting first-team reps at center for Ohio State. Miller is expected to be healthy for the beginning of camp in August. Will he be the starting center, or will it be Jones?

That is one of the many questions Jonah Booker answers as he joins Dave Biddle for his usual visit on the Friday 5ish.

Not Goodwin | Holiday weekend in June? Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

Want to start on Ohio State's offensive line? You need to wait your turn. Some recruits are not interested in waiting, apparently.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is on vacation so we had to bring in the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting - our very own Bill Kurelic - to clarify some big recruit info. And we mean big: Kiyaunta Goodwin.

Get the latest on Goodwin before The Dean previews recruiting depth charts aplenty and what promises to be the most star-studded recruiting event since well before everything got whacky.

Buckeyes' O-line reloads | Craig Young to safety/bullet Apr 07, 2021

Show notes

Spring football for Ohio State is more than halfway over, and the spring game is set for a week from Saturday (April 17). Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to look at recent position changes for the Buckeyes (such as Craig Young repping with the safeties and not the linebackers, although he will play a hybrid OLB/safety role) thoughts on the 2021 offensive line (we will meet with OL coach Greg Studrawa and several O-linemen today) and much more.

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

Overreaction Tuesday | Next Hype Train model? Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

Our staffers got access to Ohio State practice yesterday: Buckeyes. Football. Pads. Whistles. Glory.

Thirty-three whole minutes to observe and scrutinize.

Now?

Now we overreact! Was it just practice reps for the quarterbacks? Sure. But that doesn't stop Duane Long from developing vibes.

We've had a look. What do we think? Strengths? Weaknesses? A new hype train to get on the tracks?

It's all here for you.

Talking about practice Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

We're talking about practice. Not a game, not a game, not a game. We're talking about practice.

Yes, that's right. Ohio State will open its practice Monday morning to select members of the media and Bucknuts will be there. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's edition of the Monday 5ish to give the latest on what has been happening during spring ball for the Buckeyes so far and more.
