Feeling a Draft | How many Buckeyes will be taken next year? | Okpara bails | Howard's pocket presence Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

It is NFL Draft week and that is cause for celebration. It will be a light year for Ohio State's standards with perhaps just five Buckeyes hearing their names called this week. However, that is perfectly fine with us because it means a bunch of guys came back who would have at least been second-day (second-third round) picks.

Speaking of all those guys coming back, just how many OSU players will be drafted next year? If we set the over/under at 12.5, which way are you rolling?

Also, center Felix Okpara is taking his basketball and going ... well ... not home. But he has decided Ohio State will no longer be his home as he entered the transfer portal yesterday. What led up to this? What do we think of the job that Jake Diebler is doing overall thus far?

We close the show talking about Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. The more film we watch of him, the more impressed we are with his pocket presence.

Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Monday 5ish.

Wrapping up what we learned during spring ball | Quiet portal so far Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

What did we learn about Ohio State's 2024 football team during spring ball? How do we feel about the Buckeyes heading into this season? Also, the transfer portal has been very quiet for OSU thus far. With heavy emphasis on the last two words of the previous sentence.

Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that in detail on the Friday 5ish.

Georgia on our mind | Devin Sanchez superlatives Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

It used to be a real easy answer.

The question: Which state produces the best Division I football talent?

It was always Florida, California and Texas. And those states still produce a ton of talent.

But right now the state boasting the BEST talent is Georgia. And wouldn't ya know, Ohio State is doing work in the Bulldogs' backyard.

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to dive deep on four elite Georgians that visited Ohio State this past weekend and each left with an offer (if they didn't have one already).

Also, in honor of Devin Sanchez officially shutting down his recruitment, we show you why it's worth being totally geeked about the Houston, Texas native.

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

Portaling ... not so much? | Tales from trail Apr 17, 2024

The Dean on a Wednesday?

How lucky are we?

Yep, Bill Kurelic makes a surprise mid-week appearance to discuss the latest from the transfer portal and the recruiting trail.

Is there an Ohio State exodus ahead?

Could the Buckeyes possibly keep all five QBs?

Will an Ohio QB head for the SEC?

Who else could seeker greener pastures?

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

Spring gleaning | Portal predictions Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

What did we glean during Ohio State's spring practices? Do we have more questions than answers heading into the summer months? Also, the transfer portal window opens Tuesday. Where might the Buckeyes add a player or three? Where are they likely to lose a few players to the portal?

Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Biddle is joined early in the show by Bill Kurelic who gives the latest intel on what is a big recruiting weekend for the Buckeyes.

Toward the end of the show, Patrick Murphy and Steve Helwagen join the festivities live from Ohio Stadium.

Tackling OSU's spring game | Will Buckeyes add players via portal? Lose players? Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

Ohio State's spring game is tomorrow (noon ET; FOX) and we were very pleased to learn that after a brief "thudding-up" format to begin the scrimmage, that the Buckeyes will actually be tackling. Yes, real football! Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* Will Ohio State look to add players via the transfer portal when the window opens on Monday?

* Is it a safe bet that the Buckeyes will lose a handful of scholarship players to the portal?

* Is anyone else surprised that we're sitting here at the end of spring ball and we're having legit conversations about whether true freshman Julian Sayin is going to be the starting quarterback this year? We're not "sayin" he's going to be the starter, but just the fact that it is a serious discussion is something we did not see coming when spring ball kicked off.

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