Ohio State hosted another one-day prospect camp on Monday and several names emerged. Duane Long is here to shed light on those names and a whole lot more. * An Ohio eighth grader (Class of 2026) was offered? Yep ... and you know the name. * Nigel Smith came from Texas and impressed. Was he impressed? * Washington, D.C.'s Dylan Stewart posted and earned Chase Young comparisons. Is that good?

Does it frustrate you when Ohio State wears alternate uniforms, especially in games against Michigan and Penn State? Well, you came to the right place today because Dave Biddle is not a fan of the Buckeyes wearing alt unis and he goes into detail as to why. First and foremost, it's because OSU is elite, and has the best uniform/helmet combination in college football. Notice how Alabama never wears alternate uniforms? Also on the agenda: * What can fans expect from the Buckeyes' linebackers in 2022? * Who will be OSU's captains this season? * What sports are good to watch in the summertime as we wait for football season? * Could Ohio State be overconfident heading in the Notre Dame game? Or is this team locked in mentally? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with roughly 100 members of the Columbus business community on Thursday to discuss NIL and what the Buckeyes need to keep up with the arms race. What they need, according to Day, is $13 million per year just to keep the roster in tact and prevent players from transferring to other programs. That's right, the $13M figure doesn't even include recruiting. It's just for the current roster. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to give his thoughts on that, the OSU-Penn State game not being a white out for a change, and whether Marvin Harrison Jr. will go over or under 1,200 receiving yards this season. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher unloaded on Alabama coach Nick Saban on Thursday and his comments took the college football world by storm. Is the Morning 5 here for it? You had better believe it. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to talk a lot about the Fisher-Saban feud, including of course the hilarity of it, but also whether both men were actually speaking the truth. Bottom line? If you like dramatic movies or soap operas, your favorite one pales in comparison to what we saw yesterday. Also on the docket, which true freshmen can help Ohio State this season?
