Meeting Carlos Locklyn | Grab RB from portal? | Sayin hype | Spring game format

April 10, 2024 14:11 - 29 minutes

It is a big day on the Ohio State football beat as the media will meet with new running backs coach Carlos Locklyn for the first time at noon. Head coach Ryan Day will also field questions from reporters. As for Locklyn, he is inheriting an excellent room that is headlined by TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. However, the Buckeyes did just lose Dallan Hayden to the portal. Does this mean OSU needs to find a running back via the portal, simply for depth purposes? It is one of the many q...

Will one QB eclipse the other? | Bronny to OSU?

April 08, 2024 13:51 - 37 minutes

Ohio State's spring game is just five days away and we are of course anxious to see a lot of things from the Buckeyes on Saturday. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle talk in-depth about OSU football on today's show and what we are most curious to see from the Scarlet & Gray.

April 05, 2024 14:45 - 33 minutes

Spring ball has flown by pretty fast and Ohio State will hold its annual spring game next Saturday at Ohio Stadium (noon ET; FOX).

April 04, 2024 13:34 - 46 minutes

We have a new running backs coach in Carlos Locklyn.  Did he bring any recruiting faves from his Oregon stint to the table? He did.  Does Locklyn have a bead on backs that were already on the Ohio State radar?  He does. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to get you up to speed all of those targets. We also dive deep on impending visitors like tight end Nate Roberts, offensive lineman Avery Gach and more. PLENTY of other topics were broached thanks to LIVE questions from the BM5 chat crew. ...

How will RB carries be divided for Buckeyes?

April 03, 2024 13:09 - 27 minutes

Ryan Day allowed Tony Alford to decide how to divide the playing time at running back for Ohio State, so we presume the same will be true with Carlos Locklyn coaching the Buckeyes' RBs. Day has not been shy about calling it "the best running back room in the country" and that begs a question: How will the carries be divided between TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins? Are we expecting something in the 50/50 range presuming they both stay healthy? How much action will Dallan Hayden see thi...

April 01, 2024 14:06 - 36 minutes

There is tons of Ohio State football information to discuss on today's show with Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin. What were our biggest takeaways from the Buckeyes' scrimmage on Saturday? What do we think about the news that OSU is on the verge of hiring Carlos Locklyn as running backs coach? And if you blinked, you likely missed the Buckeyes landing a 2025 recruiting commitment over the last few days. A total of four 2025 prospects committed in just the last three days: linebacker Tarvos Alford, d...

Buying the Sayin hype? | Stock up: McDonald, Moore

March 29, 2024 14:48 - 29 minutes

There is a lot of hype surrounding Ohio State true freshman quarterback Julian Sayin. Are we buying it? How about you ask us that after tomorrow's scrimmage, all of which is open to the media? No, we will discuss that on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle. Also on the docket: * How do we feel overall about the QB position for the Buckeyes this season? * Other than the QBs, what are we most curious about regarding the scrimmage tomorrow? * Two young defensive tackles who are on the...

Does Paris help Ohio State in the recruitment of offensive linemen?

What's the latest news from Josh on th...

Iron sharpens iron | Search for RB coach continues

March 22, 2024 14:48 - 37 minutes

Ohio State is loaded at several positions with talent and depth in 2024. Wide receiver and cornerback each would have a salient argument as to why they should be atop the list. And one of the most interesting aspects of the open practice windows this spring -- all two of them -- has been watching the Buckeyes' wideouts and corners go head-to-head. If "iron sharpens iron" then the Buckeyes are going to come to battle with the most-piercing of weapons. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that ...

Portal gone wild? | Murray to be next RB coach? | Fryar making strides

March 20, 2024 13:20 - 29 minutes

Josh Pate reported on Tuesday that "Kadyn Proctor returning to Alabama isn't even top-3 of wildest portal rumblings this week." Pate went on to say fans across the country likely are not prepared for how crazy this particular transfer portal window will be. Might this also affect Ohio State? In what way? On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * Who might be the next running backs coach for the Buckeyes? Might it be DeMarco Murray? * Day seems confident OSU will up...

Jake Diebler hire the right move? | Spring ball resumes tomorrow

March 18, 2024 14:19 - 34 minutes

Jake Diebler had the interim tag removed and will be Ohio State's head men's basketball coach. Diebler signed a 5-year contract yesterday and will have his introductory press conference today at the Schott. Do we think this was a good decision by Ross Bjork and the Buckeyes? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that on today's show. Also, spring football practice resumes on Tuesday after OSU took last week off for spring break. The media will interview Ryan Day following practice on Tuesday. Thi...

Who will Day turn to as Buckeyes' next RB coach?

March 15, 2024 15:09 - 34 minutes

It happened two days ago and it still feels strange. Running backs coach Tony Alford has departed Ohio State for Michigan. What led up to this? And more importantly, who might Ryan Day target to replace Alford in Columbus? Furthermore, what is the timetable here? When can we expect the new RB coach to be hired? Also, the beat goes on for Jake Diebler and the OSU men's basketball team. Or, shall we say the *wins* go on for the Buckeyes? Ohio State knocked off Iowa 92-80 last night and will pla...

Alford's exit impact | Crystal Balls rolling towards WHAC

March 14, 2024 12:48 - 33 minutes

It's one thing to take a new assistant coaching gig. But trading Scarlet and Gray threads for khaki pants? That's another thing entirely ... and yet that is what we're dealing with. Tony Alford left his position as Ohio State's running backs coach to take a similar position in Ann Arbor.  The heck? We dive deep on the move with 247Sports' Steve Wiltfong, who boasts an extended working relationship with Alford dating back over a decade. Then it's the rationale behind several Crystal Balls roll...

Is corner deepest position on this extremely deep team? | Will all five QBs stick around?

March 13, 2024 14:11 - 32 minutes

Ohio State's 2024 roster is extremely talented and might be the deepest we can recall at several positions. Might cornerback be the deepest position group on this team, which is saying a lot? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss the Buckeyes' corners, opine whether all five scholarship quarterbacks will still be here in the fall, analyze the way OSU's offensive line is shaping up and more football topics. Also, is Jake Diebler suddenly on the verge of keeping the head men's basketball ...

Moore to see? | Kurelic's Cleveland height | Big dudes needed

March 12, 2024 13:56 - 37 minutes

Ohio State's current roster is enjoying Spring Break. You know what that means: No news is GOOD news. Ohio State's current staff? Hard at work trying to add future Buckeyes to the mix. Here's a name to know: Dakorien Moore, Class of 2025 wide receiver from Duncanville (Texas). Sure, it's shocking Brian Hartline is chasing another elite prospect ... or not. Moore, committed to LSU, is expected to visit Columbus early next week and already has several Ohio State commitments - see Sanchez, Devin...

Howard definitely QB1 this season? | Knowles confident in Buckeyes' LBs

March 08, 2024 14:57 - 30 minutes

For the first two practices of spring, Devin Brown has been going first during quarterback drills and has been followed by Will Howard. Some have opined that people shouldn't look too much into that since we are talking about the first two days of spring ball. Others have said they believe Brown can win the job. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle will give their takes on the QB situation, plus: * Linebacker is the one question mark on OSU's defense, but Jim Knowles is confident in ...

On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a look at the biggest storylines for Ohio State with spring practice just around the corner. What is atop the list in our opinion?

Buckeyes tackle NFL Combine | Hardwood heroics

February 26, 2024 14:44 - 36 minutes

Your annual Ohio State convention won't have as many Buckeyes as once thought but the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week will still feature several Scarlet and Gray stars. Much has been made of how many Buckeyes opted against entering the draft. Don't tell that to Marvin Harrison, Jr., Michael Hall, Jr., Cade Stover, Tommy Eichenberg, Steele Chambers, Miyan Williams, Matt Jones and Josh Proctor. Each will take their turn showing off for gathered brass. That includes Steve Helwagen. Our ven...

Another day, another bad idea by college football | Styles' role for 2024?

February 23, 2024 15:14 - 33 minutes

It appears as though college football is close to moving its early signing period up three weeks in December, which in our opinion does nothing to solve the problem. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle delve into that, talk about Sonny Styles' likely role for the 2024 season, what we think will happen with the quarterback depth chart in 2024 and much more.

February 22, 2024 14:59 - 45 minutes

There's a buzz when it comes to Ohio State football. Offseason additions and retentions have confidence peaking in these parts. Rest on your laurels time? Hardly. Recruiting trail effort levels are spiking and that 'buzz' seems contagious. Who (else) will Ohio State land in the Class of 2025? Are there defensive linemen and running backs in particular we want you to know about? Absolutely. Do we have right guys here to let you know all about them?  You know we do.

Laurinaitis, Guerrieri make impressive impressions | The problem with the CFP's '5+7' format

February 21, 2024 13:31 - 29 minutes

Ohio State's newest defensive position coaches -- James Laurinaitis and Matt Guerrieri -- met with the media yesterday and they were nothing short of extremely impressive. What were our main takeaways from both Q&A sessions? Laurinaitis basically said Cody Simon is locked in as a starting linebacker. Who will start alongside of him? As for the safeties, Guerrieri is inheriting a proverbial gold mine with the talent in his room with the likes of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom. As for Sonny Styl...

Are Ohio State's linebackers national championship-caliber?

February 20, 2024 14:52 - 24 minutes

It is going to be a fun day on the Ohio State football beat as the media will interview freshly-minted Ohio State linebackers coach James Laurinaitis, as well as new safeties coach Matt Guerrieri this afternoon. Today's show will focus mostly on the Buckeyes' 2024 linebacking corps, specifically whether this group is good enough to get the Buckeyes where they want to go. Who will be the two starters? Who will be the top backups? Is Sonny Styles definitely going to move down to LB, or might he...

Animal instincts | 2024 defense shaping up to be elite | 2-year extension for LJ | Holt's replacement?

February 16, 2024 15:23 - 26 minutes

The Little Animal got a big promotion. James Laurinaitis is now Ohio State's linebackers coach after serving as a grad assistant in 2023. Now, to be clear, Laurinaitis basically ran the LB room last season, but now he's a full-fledged position coach. How will this impact the Buckeyes on the field? What about on the recruiting front? What we also find interesting is that Ohio State's defense is shaping up to be elite in 2024. You could of course argue Jim Knowles' unit was elite in 2023 as the...

Primary secondary targets | Ohio State camp offers up for grabs | Who replaces Holtmann?

February 15, 2024 15:25 - 55 minutes

Too much secondary talent to consider? That's crazy talk. Is it?

We dive deep with some help from our LIVE viewers (specifically from Texas). Also: LIVE viewers asked a ton of great questions that Bill and Mark tackled. And yes, we finish with chatter about Chris Holtmann's firing yesterday and wher...

Oh, Henry! | Fancying Florida | Can Chip recruit?

February 13, 2024 15:01 - 42 minutes

We are going to find out if Ohio State is really WRU. The lone commitment in the Class of 2026 - Cincy star Chris Henry, Jr., - is transferring to national power Mater Dei in Santa Ana, Calif.  Guess what? That's now B1G country!

What will Chip Kelly bring to Buckeyes' offense?

February 12, 2024 14:52 - 31 minutes

What do we expect out of Chip Kelly as Ohio State's offensive coordinator? What can he do specifically to enhance Ryan Day's offense, which has been one of the best offenses in college football during the 5-year Day era? Speaking of Day and his coaching staff, how will he fill the final vacancy? Was he waiting until after the Super Bowl so he could perhaps snag a coach from either the Chiefs or 49ers? Ohio State 2025 quarterback commitment Tavien St. Clair continues to impress. He had an exce...
