What can the NIL 'Foundation' do for OSU? (Brian Schottenstein, Cardale Jones)

April 01, 2022 11:27 - 17 minutes

We are happy to welcome back Brian Schottenstein and Cardale Jones to the show. Their NIL venture "The Foundation" launched this week and they are here to answer several questions about it.

All of that and more is covered on an informative version of the Friday 5ish. [NOTE: We had trouble with Cardale's audio to beg...

March 30, 2022 13:22 - 22 minutes

It was quite the eventful day of Ohio State football news on Tuesday and we unpack it all on today's show. Cade Stover has moved back to tight end. What are our thoughts on that development?

Troy Bowles vs. Tackett Curtis | Could Ryan Montgomery have in-state QB competition?

March 24, 2022 13:47 - 34 minutes

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...

Basketball in rear view mirror | Spring football resumes this week for Buckeyes

March 21, 2022 14:05 - 16 minutes

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.

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.

State of the Ohio State Basketball Program Address

March 02, 2022 14:56 - 22 minutes

There's bad losses. And then there is ... whatever the hell happened to Ohio State's basketball team last night. The Buckeyes -- who were 15-point favorites and had a win probability of 95.5 percent -- were beaten by Big Ten cellar dweller Nebraska 78-70 at the Schott. And that came on the heels of OSU's upset loss at Maryland on Sunday when the Terrapins dominated to the tune of 75-60. We can all be prisoners of the moment at times and overreact, especially when it involves our sports teams....

February 28, 2022 14:30 - 17 minutes

Ohio State's men's basketball team looked bad in a loss at Maryland yesterday, but the Buckeyes are still a lock to make the NCAA Tournament and will likely have a double-bye in the Big Ten tourney. How do we feel about this team one day before March begins? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, the main things we will be looking for when spring football starts next week for OSU, the Big Ten being on the verge of breaking the bank with its new TV contracts and more. That is coming...

Should NIL be regulated? How?

February 16, 2022 14:34 - 16 minutes

The media will meet with Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith today at 11:30 a.m. There are a number of things Bucknuts is curious to ask Smith, but at the top of the list is what to do about players being able to profit off of their name, image and likeness in college athletics. Right now, it's basically the wild west with no rules. Should there be regulations? If so, what should they entail? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, the scholarship crunch that the football team f...

Duane on LB prospect: 'My lord' | Targeting defensive tackle, safety

February 15, 2022 14:47 - 15 minutes

This is what Ohio State fans pined for.  New defensive coordinator Jim Knowles brings hope the Buckeyes can return to defensive dominance. Several years of subpar performances sandwiched around a Jeff Halfey-led radar blip meant change was in order. Now it's about getting current personnel up to speed and finding prospects that best fit the Knowles approach. Translation: Ohio State needs several defensive tackles and safeties - the latter of which has an added emphasis in the scheme.  So how ...

Buckeyes 6 over scholarship limit | What happens from here?

February 14, 2022 13:27 - 16 minutes

Spring ball is just around the corner and Ohio State is currently six over the limit of 85 scholarships. That obviously means some guys will be on the move before camp begins in early August. Who might some of those players be? Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to speculate on how Ryan Day might manage this tricky situation with his roster. Also, is the NCAA at fault for counting "super seniors" against the 85 limit, unlike last year? Or is perhaps another group of people at fault? Furth...

Wake up, Louisiana | Tate, Montgomery, Michigan, Super Bowl

February 10, 2022 15:29 - 14 minutes

Can Jim Knowles do what no other Ohio State defensive boss has done? Can he go into Louisiana and secure an elite prospect? We know this: If the Buckeyes don't get Bayou State star linebacker Tackett Curtis it won't be due to a lack of effort. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here and updates Ohio State's quest for Curtis in real time during the show. ** Also: * Comparing Carnell Tate and Garrett Wilson at similar stage. * Has Jim Harbaugh's staff shakeup affected Michigan r...

All of that an...

Montgomery in ... but where? | Northern exposed | Joe Cool?

February 08, 2022 14:48 - 12 minutes

Luke Montgomery is from Findlay, Ohio. Findlay High is actually three miles closer to the college in Ann Arbor than The Ohio State University in Columbus. Our vibe is proximity won't be the determining factor in his college decision.  Ohio's top Class of 2023 prospect has announced Feb.17 as his commitment date. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound offensive lineman boasts a who's who of finalists: Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State, Clemson and Oklahoma. The Top247 ranks Montgomery as the No. 1...
