On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle field questions from Bucknuts subscribers. If Ohio State has a top-10 defense in 2022, how much will that help with recruiting on the defensive side of the ball? Could they even flip some defensive recruits before the early signing period in December?When the College Football Playoff eventually expands, how many teams would we like to see in the field? Who thought starting NIL without guardrails in place was a good idea? And can guardrails be put in place in the future? A lot of powerful people believe some type of regulations should be put into place, but how? That plus much, much more is covered on this edition of the Friday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ok, it hasn't been the best few days. We've seen key recruits commit elsewhere ... and it's gonna happen again this afternoon. Several more are considering breaking out of the class. Why?

Oh, and Ohio State could be on the verge of adding another elite QB prospect. Ho-hum. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters! What's next for the Buckeyes?

Ohio State's defense was bad last year. And the year before that. We're confident it will not be bad this season. But can it be good? And what exactly constitutes a "good" collegiate defense? Top-30 nationally? Better? The Buckeyes will have an elite offense, so if they can be good defensively, they are going to be a big problem for their opponents. Can new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles get OSU to that point? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to delve into all of that, take questions from Bucknuts subscribers and more. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our guys share that informed perspective on those topics like John Walker, Austin Novosad, Caleb Downs, Olaus Alinen, Arvell Reese, Tackett Curtis, Jayden Bonsu, Desmond Umeozulu, Miles Walker and more.

On today's show, Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle will analyze the O-line and give their opinions on the matter. What will be the biggest strength of the offensive line? What is a possible weakness? How will this OL stack up against some of the recent ones at OSU? Can it be among the best in the country? Or is that a bit far-fetched?

What's the famous saying? "You can't win them all." There have been times on the recruiting trail we thought that did not apply to the Buckeyes. It felt like it was commitment after commitment. But ... apparently ... "You can't win them all." While Ohio State added elite tight end Jelani Thurman over the weekend the past few days have seen Tackett Curtis and Justice Haynes commit elsewhere.  Is this a trend? What's next for the Buckeyes? Plenty to discuss with Duane Long. Spend 5ish with us this a.m. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

High 4-star defensive lineman Jason Moore committed to Ohio State on Sunday, vaulting the Buckeyes back over Notre Dame for the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports Composite national recruiting rankings for 2023.

Is defensive line recruiting beginning to pick up for Larry Johnson and Ohio State in the 2023 class? High 4-star defensive lineman Jason Moore will make his announcement on Sunday and several experts believe the Buckeyes will be the pick. Ohio State is also the favorite to eventually land 4-star defensive end Desmond Umeozulu. Furthermore, high 4-star defensive tackle John Walker could very well be a Buckeye in the end. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for the Friday 5ish to discuss all of that, plus OSU likely landing 3-star offensive tackle Miles Walker later today, where things stand overall for Justin Frye and the Buckeyes on the O-line recruiting front, what might be next in the world of conference expansion and much more.

It felt like Notre Dame was on the verge of joining the Big Ten. However, multiple reports surfaced on Tuesday evening that the Fighting Irish are planning on staying put as an independent? Why would they turn this much money down? (Likely $100 million per season for each Big Ten institution via TV deals.) What is their end game? To stay independent, or perhaps join the SEC down the road if need be? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss the latest developments in the world of college conference expansion, take a look at what we expect from sophomore defensive end J.T. Tuimoloau and senior DE Zach Harrison this season and much more. All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
