What is there to talk about on today's show? A better question is what is there not to talk about? Some of the many items as Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show: * The Dean has "Crystal Balled" defensive tackle John Walker to the Buckeyes. You know what that means. * Kicker Parker Lewis has transferred from USC to Ohio State. What does this mean for Noah Ruggles or Jake Seibert? * Where is OSU on the scholarship count now? Will they look into the portal to add a player or two? * After being an underdog for most of his high school and early college career, how will C.J.

Ohio State added to its reputation of being "WR U" last night as Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were drafted back-to-back with the Nos. 10 and 11 overall picks in the NFL Draft. Wilson went to the New York Jets, while the New Orleans Saints traded up to get Olave. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that and where the other Buckeyes might go in the draft tonight and tomorrow. Also, is Ohio State keeping up with the arms race in college football recruiting when it comes to NIL deals? As it stands, the Buckeyes are not guaranteeing upfront money for recruits like NIL collectives at other programs. Plus we take questions from viewers on our live broadcast and much more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is much to discuss on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. Marcus Hooker is the latest Ohio State player to put his name in the transfer portal. Are we surprised at any of the recent departures? How will this impact depth for the Buckeyes? Also, will Ohio State look for an offensive lineman and perhaps another player or two in the portal? Is it time that the Buckeyes become importers and not just exporters? (Tip of the cap to Seinfeld.) Ohio State is now one under the limit of 85 scholarships. Furthermore, what's going on with OSU's situation at kicker? And of course the NFL Draft kicks off tomorrow night. We predict where each of the Buckeyes will get selected.

Noah Potter has entered his name in the transfer portal. How does this impact Ohio State's depth situation at defensive end? Was this simply a case of the Buckeyes being very deep at DE and Potter feeling like there wouldn't be much playing time available for him? Switching gears, what is the biggest concern for the 2022 Buckeyes? Is it the offensive line? Is it something else? Also, there are returnees and new arrivals to talk about for Chris Holtmann's basketball Bucks. The Monday 5ish has that and much more as Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle.

The big recruiting weekend has already paid off for Ohio State as the Buckeyes landed a pair of 2023 prospects from the state of Florida on Sunday: cornerback Dijon Johnson and wide receiver Bryson Rodgers.

It was quite the interesting day of recruiting for Ohio State on Tuesday. The Buckeyes received a commitment from four-star running back Mark Fletcher, who is ranked as the No. 7 RB in the country in the 2023 class.
