Latest Episodes:

'The' destination for quarterbacks and wide receivers Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

You know the names: Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Gee Scott, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Julian Fleming.

Then there is Justin Fields and Jack Miller.

There are more names, too. But if you want quarterbacks and wide receivers, those names will do. And do well.

The combination of Ryan Day and Brian Hartline (among others) on Ohio State's staff has amped QB and WR recruiting to levels not seen before.

And want some more good news?

There are no signs of slippage on the horizon.

Join us today to discuss that, Kendall Milton, Mookie Cooper and more with the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting, our very own Bill Kurelic.

The Joshua Perry Show: What it's like on day 1 for a freshman Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever been curious what it is like on the first day a freshman joins a college football team?

Well, you came to the right place.

On today's edition of The Joshua Perry Show, the former Ohio State linebacker, national champion, captain and NFL player, explains the thoughts running through the head of an 18-year-old kid (or 16 if you're Parris Campbell) who has suddenly joined a group of grown men.

Also, can players tell on day one that certain freshmen are never going to be good enough to make it at a place like Ohio State?

Speaking of players enrolling, 11 members of the Buckeyes' 2019 recruiting class enrolled recently. What is Joshua hearing about that group?

And just how much power does Mark Pantoni have when it comes to deciding who gets scholarship offers from OSU?

All of that and more on this edition of The Joshua Perry Show.

'Another in the Buckeyes' offensive recruiting roll' Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

Slow your roll? Not if you are head coach Ryan Day, wide receivers coach Brian Hartline and running backs coach Tony Alford, who continue to make waves on the offensive recruiting front for Ohio State.

The nation's No. 1 wide receiver recruit in the 2020 class -- Julian Fleming -- picked the Buckeyes over Penn State and Clemson on Friday.

Could 5-star running back Kendall Milton be next to join OSU's 2020 class? He had his official visit to Ohio State over the weekend and it went very well.

Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that, plus:

* The rise of Brian Hartline as a coaching and recruiting superstar.

* Is linebacker a concern for Ohio State in 2019? Or could it end up being a strength?

* Did you know that Helwagen is a highly-requested speaker to OSU football groups/alumni groups? Well, now you do, and Steve will tell you an interesting story from his speech in St. Petersburg, Fla., this weekend.

All of that and more on the Monday extravaganza.

5-star Friday | Zach Smith dishes dirt on Ed Warinner May 31, 2019

Show notes

It is 5-star Friday here on the show as the nation's No. 1 wide receiver -- Julian Fleming -- will make his announcement today, and things sound very good for Ohio State.

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss Fleming perhaps becoming a Buckeye, plus:

* Thoughts on 5-star running back Kendall Milton making his official visit to OSU this weekend, and where the Buckeyes stand with him.

* We were already excited about Ohio State redshirt freshman running back Master Teague. Then he was recently clocked in the 4.3s in the 40, and our excitement level increased even more.

* What are takeaways from Zach Smith's new podcast, Menace 2 Society? And what exactly did Smith say about his former coaching colleague at Ohio State, Ed Warinner?

All of that and more on an extended, 20-minute edition of the Friday extravaganza.

'It was a seamless transition' May 30, 2019

Show notes

The No. 1 left tackle.

The No. 1 center.

The No. 1 wide receiver.

The No. 2 quarterback.

The No. 3 running back.

What would happen if they all got together and committed to one school? You'd have Ohio State's Class of 2020 haul ... probably.

And what would 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong say about the move from Urban Meyer to Ryan Day if the above scenario happens?

Check today's title.

All of that and more is coming at you on the Thursday extravaganza.

Fleming to OSU? | 'Tressel should be president of this university' May 29, 2019

Show notes

It seems very likely that 5-star wide receiver Julian Fleming will select Ohio State on Friday, which would be a huge boon for the Buckeyes.

Also, should Jim Tressel return to OSU as the president of the university?

That and more on today's show, as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle.

Building foundation with Five Stars? May 28, 2019

Show notes

The top-rated wide receiver recruit in program history?

The top-rated offensive line recruit in program history?

Yes, we are talking Ohio State's 'possible' Class of 2020. And yes, we are being realistic.

Julian Fleming, a Pennsylvania native and the nation's No. 1 receiver, will announce his commitment on Friday.

Paris Johnson, a Cincinnati native and the nation's No. 1 left tackle recruit, just visited LSU but has one official visit left.

How confident should we be that both will be Buckeyes?

Who else to ask other than the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting ... our very own Bill Kurelic.

The Dean educates all on Fleming, Johnson and a power-packed recruiting schedule for June that could set up Ohio State for some time.

Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

Ranking the top defensive & offensive linemen of Urban Meyer era May 24, 2019

Show notes

Who were the top-5 offensive and defensive linemen of the Urban Meyer era at Ohio State? That is the question that Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle answer on the Friday spectacular.

Putting Paris in perspective May 23, 2019

Show notes

If the "Blind Side" was being made today, Paris Johnson would likely get a call from the film's casting director.

The Class of 2020 star and Cincinnati native recently transferred fro St. Xavier to Princeton so he can graduate early and is THE left tackle prototype: 6-foot-7, 290 pounds, great feet, great frame, great ... you get the picture.

Instead of taking the Hollywood route, Johnson is currently verbally committed to Ohio State. But the Urban Meyer-to-Ryan Day transition meant Johnson's recruitment hit the reset button. So far, so good.

247Sports Director of Recruiting is jet-setting across the lower 48 but made some time for us to talk Johnson and much more after seeing him workout in person recently.

We also go into detail on other offensive linemen that could be future Buckeyes as the recruiting trail gets heated. Prime targets headed elsewhere? Former targets coming back into focus? Wiltfong comes with answers - as always.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ranking the top-12 football players on Ohio State's 2019 roster May 22, 2019

Show notes

Who are the top-12 players on Ohio State's football roster in 2019?

That is the question The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, and Dave Biddle will answer on today's show.

Who is No. 1 on the list? Where does new quarterback Justin Fields rank?

We will go in reverse order 12-1, and we hope that you will include your personal top-12 in the comments section.

Feel free to disagree (or agree), just make sure to feel free.

A lengthy, fun edition is coming at you on the Wednesday extravaganza.
