Bucknuts Morning 5

Ohio State is back on the practice field this morning. Our staffers are there and ready to report on what went down.  But first things first. Duane Long is here in his usual Tuesday spot to offer up three names from the recruiting trail Ohio State needs to focus on ... for a while. Also, why is a Georgia prospect coveted by the Buckeyes getting the waiting game treatment from his home state squad? We then tried to answer this: Has any college football team had the nation's No. 1 QB, RB and WR in the same season? Hint: Current rosters count. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters.

It's Friday and that means Jonah Booker on the Bucknuts Morning 5. JBook joins Dave Biddle to discuss what will be the strength of Ohio State's defense this year: the defensive line. Are we expecting breakout seasons from sophomores J.T. Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer and Tyleik Williams? What are our thoughts on the many veteran D-linemen on the roster? And what is a main reason last year's defensive line did not play up to par? Other items on the agenda include thoughts about C.J. Stroud putting on a show at pro day on Wednesday, the NFL offseason being the best reality show in the world right now and more. All of that is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

LeBron vs. Jordan. Emmitt vs. Barry. Chamberlain vs. Russell. Bowles vs. Curtis? It's not yet a barroom argument that's lingered decades but Ohio State is recruiting elite linebackers Troy Bowles and Tackett Curtis. Kurelic vs. Porter? That's right, our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter made their usual, Thursday dynamic-duo appearance and debated that first world recruiting question. It was plenty entertaining. We also went deep on the Ohioans that stood out at last weekend's Columbus-based Under Armour camp, Malik Hartford, Ryan Pellum, Ryan Montgomery, Tim Carpenter and a whole lot more.

Basketball season is over for Ohio State and spring football practice resumes this week for the Buckeyes. What does Chris Holtmann need to accomplish in 2022-23 in order to get the fans on his side? On the football front, this will be the week when the Buckeyes start implementing schematic changes on both sides of the ball; mostly on defense of course. But there will be tweaks on offense as well with Justin Frye now leading the offensive line. Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the Monday 5ish to discuss that and much more.

There is much to discuss on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. We are answering questions posed by Bucknuts subscribers via The Front Row message board and there is certainly a wide variety of topics. Will Urban Meyer coach again?

The Buckeyes received a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will play 10th-seeded Loyola-Chicago in the first round on Friday at 12:15 p.m. ET. Is it a difficult matchup for OSU? Yes.

There is much to discuss on the Ohio State football front as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit. The Buckeyes kicked off spring ball this week and much was gleaned. * Unfortunately, we have to start with some bad news as offensive lineman Harry Miller announced on Thursday he is retiring from football. Miller revealed he has been battling depression and had suicidal thoughts. We obviously wish the young man nothing but the best. He is an excellent person who does a lot of charity work, and we just hope he is able to get his mental health where it needs to be. * On Thursday, the media interviewed Ohio State's running backs and wide receivers. Regarding the WRs, other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is the best wideout on the squad? Is it Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka or Julian Fleming? * How excited are we about the RB tandem of TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams? Hint: extremely. Also, Henderson made headlines yesterday when he let it slip that he played with a concussion during the

Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss spring ball kicking off for the Buckeyes, plus: * What are the main storylines for the Buckeyes this spring? * What will fourth-year junior Cade Stover's role be this year? Many are presuming he will be the hybrid OLB/DE in Knowles' scheme. Is that a safe assumption? * Ohio State's basketball team lost to visiting Michigan in the regular-season finale yesterday. This has been a disappointing season for Chris Holtmann's squad, especially lately. Is there any hope they can do damage in the Big Ten Tournament and then more importantly in the NCAA Tournament? * What seed will they likely get in the Big Dance?
