Giving the people what they want May 27, 2020

Show notes

We asked subscribers to submit questions on The Front Row message board and you did not disappoint. On today's show, The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to answer questions on Ohio State recruiting, who would be first in line to replace Ryan Day as OSU's head coach if he jumped to the NFL, how good Trey Sermon will be this year, what the depth chart will look at running back for the Buckeyes, whether Ohio State will not be considered one of the elite teams in college football if they fail to win the national championship this season, which 2020 regular season game will be toughest for OSU and more.

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

Defensive line two-deep dive | Buckeyes add Arizona athlete May 26, 2020

Show notes

Joey. Nick. Chase.

Zach?

Is Zach Harrison the next Ohio State defensive end to get drafted before the first commercial break at the NFL Draft? Maybe. We have at least two seasons to find out about the rising sophomore but we do know this: He won't be alone up front this season.

Ohio State once again has an excellent array of defensive line talent ready to wreak havoc on the opposition. Who makes up the two-deep? Duane Long is here to break it all down on the defensive line.

ALSO: Another defensive back committed yesterday - Arizona standout Denzel Burke - and we have thoughts.

Former OSU/MLB pitcher Drew Rucinski on Korean baseball | Beat goes on for Buckeye football recruiting May 25, 2020

Show notes

Former Ohio State and Major League Baseball pitcher Drew Rucinski is currently one of the stars of the Korean baseball league (KBO) and he joins us on today's show. Drew talks about the culture in South Korea, what baseball is like over there, his thoughts on KBO games being aired live in the United States on ESPN and ESPN2 (due to no MLB yet this year), his thoughts on the Buckeyes' baseball program and much more.

Also, Ohio State landed yet another quality football recruit in high 4-star cornerback Denzel Burke, who committed to the Buckeyes on Sunday. The Buckeyes' lead for the No. 1 class in the country continues to grow.

All of that and more is in store for you on the Memorial Day 5ish. Thank you very much to the men and women who have sacrificed their life in the name of freedom in our country, and thank you to everyone who has served in the Armed Forces.

Dinich breaks down where things currently are, where they might go and more before opining on Ohio State, Gene Smith, Ryan Day and Buckeye fans.

Ohio State players to report back June 8? Is Ryan Day better than Urban Meyer? May 20, 2020

Show notes

Bucknuts received word Tuesday evening that Ohio State's players have been told to prepare to report back to campus on June 8. It is still to be determined if the players will be able to resume team activities at that time, but this is of course good news in terms of there being Buckeye football this fall.

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that and the encouraging comments from Gordon Gee about the 2020 college football season. Plus, we answer your questions from The Front Row message board. One of which is: "Is Ryan Day better than Urban Meyer?" You might hear Bax speechless for the first time ever while answering that one.

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