Catching up with Monica | Does Paris Johnson help OSU recruit O-linemen? Mar 27, 2024

Show notes

We are thrilled to welcome back Monica Daniels -- Paris Johnson Jr.'s mother -- to the show today to get her unique perspective on a multitude of topics. Does Paris help Ohio State in the recruitment of offensive linemen? He is not allowed to do certain things per NCAA rules, but he is allowed to talk to recruits when they are on campus and things of that nature. What advice does Monica give to parents of recruits who are considering the Buckeyes? What has this ride been like for Monica and her family, with Paris becoming an All-American at OSU and then becoming the No. 6 overall pick of the draft by the Arizona Cardinals? (And playing every snap for the Cardinals as a rookie.)

Monica also fields a few questions from our subscribers, such as "Did Paris know during or after the 2022 TTUN game that they were stealing our signs and cheating?" As well as "Do the parents still do gatherings at home and road games like you all did? Do you still participate in those?"

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

* Dan gives a recap of the big recruiting weekend for the Buckeyes.

* We are hearing really good things about a young, backup defensive tackle for OSU.

* Our friend Josh Pate is still saying the portal is going to be wild when the next window opens. What's the latest news from Josh on that front? What do we expect will happen? Will Ohio State be impacted?

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

Iron sharpens iron | Search for RB coach continues Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

Ohio State is loaded at several positions with talent and depth in 2024. Wide receiver and cornerback each would have a salient argument as to why they should be atop the list. And one of the most interesting aspects of the open practice windows this spring -- all two of them -- has been watching the Buckeyes' wideouts and corners go head-to-head. If "iron sharpens iron" then the Buckeyes are going to come to battle with the most-piercing of weapons.

Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus:

* Will any wide receiver other than these four play a relatively big role for the Buckeyes this fall: Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss and Jeremiah Smith? Typically under Brian Hartline, there is a four-man rotation. Do we expect anything different this year?

* The search for Ohio State's new running backs coach rolls on. Did DeMarco Murray "play" OSU? Who might the Buckeyes turn to next?

* It's a big recruiting weekend for OSU with several top prospects dropping by the WHAC to watch practice and more. What piques JBook's interest the most about some of these top recruits and where the Buckeyes stand with them?

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

Portal gone wild? | Murray to be next RB coach? | Fryar making strides Mar 20, 2024

Show notes

Josh Pate reported on Tuesday that "Kadyn Proctor returning to Alabama isn't even top-3 of wildest portal rumblings this week." Pate went on to say fans across the country likely are not prepared for how crazy this particular transfer portal window will be. Might this also affect Ohio State? In what way?

On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus:

* Who might be the next running backs coach for the Buckeyes? Might it be DeMarco Murray?

* Day seems confident OSU will upgrade from Tony Alford and calls it the "best running back room in the country."

* Josh Fryar continues to draw praise from Day. Could he be a force as a second-year starter?

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