Buckeyes are loaded at running back | Are we not talking about it enough? Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Ohio State is loaded with talent and experience at running back overall entering the 2023 season. The group includes junior TreVeyon Henderson, fourth-year junior Miyan Williams, sophomore Dallan Hayden, third-year sophomore Evan Pryor and fourth-year junior Chip Trayanum.

Yet, it feels like we’re not talking about Tony Alford’s room enough. That will change on today’s show as Dave Biddle flies solo. In addition to the RBs, Biddle will look back on all of the high points from the first week of practice, including Sonny Styles running with the first-team defense at slot safety, the competition at right tackle and much more.

That is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Bucknuts Happy Hour: Practice kicks off for Buckeyes | Expansion expands in B1G Aug 04, 2023

Sonny in the slot? | Zen at RT? | Other day 1 observations from Buckeyes' camp Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

Day one of Ohio State's preseason camp is in the books and there are already plenty of interesting developments. Is sophomore sensation Sonny Styles going to be the Buckeyes' starting slot safety? At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds? Might the "slot safety" be more of a rover back for OSU this season in Jim Knowles' scheme?

At right tackle, it appears to be a three-man race between Zen Michalski, Tegra Tshabola and Josh Simmons. On Thursday, that was the order in which they took their reps -- Michalski with the first-team, Tshabola with the second-team and Simmons with the third-team. But it was just the first day and that order is of course subject to change. However, that being said, might we have been too quick to assume Simmons will win the job?

On the Friday 5ish, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and much more from OSU's first practice of the season.

Big get Glover? | Fall camp kicks off | DE drawing board? Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

What is Ohio State getting in Northwestern transfer and Ohio native Nigel Glover?

Who better to ask than Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter? So we do.

And we didn't stop there. Our dynamic duo went into detail on the current recruiting landscape, what to make of Ryan Day talking quarterbacks and so much more.

Stewart out, Glover in | Day, McCord, Brown to meet with media today Aug 02, 2023

Show notes

"You win some, you lose some" is never truer than when speaking about recruiting. Ohio State of course landed 5-star cornerback Aaron Scott on Monday, beating out Michigan for his services. However, on Tuesday, 5-star defensive end Dylan Stewart -- who was a heavy lean to OSU at one point -- selected South Carolina over the Buckeyes. Then hours later, 4-star linebacker Nigel Glover from the 2023 class -- who entered the portal after Pat Fitzgerald's dismissal at Northwestern -- announced he would be transferring to Ohio State.

You can come up for air now, we think.

Switching gears from recruiting, it's a big day on the OSU football beat as head coach Ryan Day, as well as quarterback Kyle McCord, Devin Brown and perhaps others, will meet with reporters at the WHAC. Practice begins tomorrow for the Buckeyes and we are curious to hear what Day, McCord and Brown have to say about the competition entering camp.

Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for the Wednesday 5ish to discuss all of that and much more.

Aaron Scott is in ... sorry to you know who. Chris Henry, Jr. is in. Sorry to ... well ... every other great program everywhere.

And what about the remaining Class of 2024 elite targets like Dylan Stewart, Brandon Baker, Eddrick Houston, K.J. Bolden and several others?

We have Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter. That means answers.

What we learned about Buckeyes at B1G Media Days | D-Day for Aaron Scott Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

Another year of Big Ten Media Days is in the books and on today's show, Dave Biddle will discuss the most interesting things that were gleaned from Ohio State's perspective. What does the overall health of the Buckeyes look like entering camp? How much is the consecutive losses to Michigan motivating them? When does Ryan Day want to name a starting quarterback? Just how close is the competition between Kyle McCord and Devin Brown? How does Day feel about OSU's offensive line entering camp?

Also, 5-star cornerback Aaron Scott will make his announcement this Sunday. Will he pick the Buckeyes or the Wolverines?

We also answer questions from our live audience.

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

Wild recruiting weekend arrives | Scott on Sunday | Latest on Houston, Stewart Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Ohio State's Class of 2024 recruiting haul will have a new look after this weekend.

Will the class be red carpet worthy or need to use a side entrance? Many 'Nutters feel like that answering is impending.

We know this:

* Northwestern transfer linebacker Nigel Glover is scheduled for an official visit to Ohio State today.

* 'Summerfest in The Shoe' has a guest list to stop traffic. We dive deep on the expected attendees.

* Aaron Scott announces his commitment on Sunday. Is Bucknuts in danger of melting?

* Eddrick Houston and Dylan Stewart: Current vibes?

* When it comes to the Class of 2025, which Ohians could be Buckeyes?

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter with answers to those questions.
