Will Petit-Frere be a starter this season?

June 12, 2019 12:35 - 12 minutes

Ohio State redshirt freshman offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was the No. 1-ranked OT in the country in the 2018 class, per the 247Sports Composite. Will Petit-Frere be a starter for the Buckeyes this fall? Or will he be more like a sixth man? That is one of the many topics on today's show as The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle. Also on the docket: * What is to be made of the information from Joshua Perry that the Buckeyes are doing "more running than ever" this summer?...

'Not enough hullabaloo'

June 11, 2019 13:53 - 11 minutes

Full speed ahead would be an understatement for Ohio State's current recruiting efforts. We are trying to keep up.  Our very own Duane Long is here to help and spread wisdom on the following: * Flipping offensive lineman Grant Toutant from Penn State to Ohio State. * Joe Royer vs. Luke Lachey: What does it mean? * Ben Chrisman: Nekkid jaunt inspiration? * Clark Phillips III ... are Irish Eyes actually smiling on Columbus? It's a good time to be a Buckeye on the trail. Which means it's a good ...

June 10, 2019 18:17 - 14 minutes

Buckeyes flip 4-star OT from Penn State

June 10, 2019 12:44 - 15 minutes

Urban Meyer was known for breaking out the spatula on the recruiting trail. It seems he has taught Ryan Day well. Day and the Buckeyes flipped 4-star offensive tackle Grant Toutant from Penn State to Ohio State on Sunday night. Did this come out of the blue? And what does it mean for OSU? The Dean of Ohio State Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, joins Dave Biddle to talk all thing Toutant, plus: * Where do things stand with Paris Johnson and Darrion Henry, the two top recruits in Ohio? * On t...

JBook responds to Milton controversy | OSU one-day camp notes

June 07, 2019 12:29 - 14 minutes

Our own Jonah Booker caused a little bit of a stir on Twitter when he posted that Ohio State is the clear leader for 5-star running back Kendall Milton. Milton's father, Chris Milton, was not a fan of JBook's tweet, and made that quite clear on the social media platform. Until now, JBook has not said a word about the "controversy." But he talks about it on today's show with Dave Biddle. Then the show moves on to: * Discussion about OSU's one-day camp on Thursday. What stood out the most? * Ar...

First domino? | Classic Ohio State-Michigan battle

June 06, 2019 13:39 - 9 minutes

Can Ohio State recruit on defense like it does offense? Which elite running back will be the first to commit? Which DMV product are the Buckeyes chasing? What does the addition of Julian Fleming do for Ryan Day's profile? Questions abound. Luckily, today's show features an answer man: 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong. He's here to educate. If you are here to learn, you picked the right spot.  Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters! To learn more about listener data and our pr...

Defensive recruits on deck? 'Bases loaded, nobody out'

June 05, 2019 13:01 - 11 minutes

Ohio State only has one defensive commit so far in its 2020 class. However, are several defensive commits on the verge of committing to Ryan Day and the Buckeyes? Bill "Bank" Greene thinks so. Bank joins Dave Biddle for today's show and believes that the "bases are loaded with nobody out" in terms of defensive recruits for OSU. Now, Day and his staff need to bring the runners home. A deeper discussion on that is coming at you, plus: * Will the Jaheim Thomas situation impact Paris Johnson and/...

'The' destination for quarterbacks and wide receivers

June 04, 2019 13:53 - 10 minutes

You know the names: Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Gee Scott, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Julian Fleming. Then there is Justin Fields and Jack Miller. There are more names, too. But if you want quarterbacks and wide receivers, those names will do. And do well. The combination of Ryan Day and Brian Hartline (among others) on Ohio State's staff has amped QB and WR recruiting to levels not seen before. And want some more good news? There are no signs of slippage on the horizon. Join us today to discu...

The Joshua Perry Show: What it's like on day 1 for a freshman

June 03, 2019 18:21 - 14 minutes

Have you ever been curious what it is like on the first day a freshman joins a college football team? Well, you came to the right place. On today's edition of The Joshua Perry Show, the former Ohio State linebacker, national champion, captain and NFL player, explains the thoughts running through the head of an 18-year-old kid (or 16 if you're Parris Campbell) who has suddenly joined a group of grown men. Also, can players tell on day one that certain freshmen are never going to be good enough...

'Another in the Buckeyes' offensive recruiting roll'

June 03, 2019 13:14 - 15 minutes

Slow your roll? Not if you are head coach Ryan Day, wide receivers coach Brian Hartline and running backs coach Tony Alford, who continue to make waves on the offensive recruiting front for Ohio State. The nation's No. 1 wide receiver recruit in the 2020 class -- Julian Fleming -- picked the Buckeyes over Penn State and Clemson on Friday. Could 5-star running back Kendall Milton be next to join OSU's 2020 class? He had his official visit to Ohio State over the weekend and it went very well. S...

5-star Friday | Zach Smith dishes dirt on Ed Warinner

May 31, 2019 11:49 - 20 minutes

It is 5-star Friday here on the show as the nation's No. 1 wide receiver -- Julian Fleming -- will make his announcement today, and things sound very good for Ohio State. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss Fleming perhaps becoming a Buckeye, plus: * Thoughts on 5-star running back Kendall Milton making his official visit to OSU this weekend, and where the Buckeyes stand with him. * We were already excited about Ohio State redshirt freshman running back Master Teague. Then he was recent...

'It was a seamless transition'

May 30, 2019 13:23 - 12 minutes

The No. 1 left tackle. The No. 1 center. The No. 1 wide receiver. The No. 2 quarterback. The No. 3 running back. What would happen if they all got together and committed to one school? You'd have Ohio State's Class of 2020 haul  ... probably. And what would 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong say about the move from Urban Meyer to Ryan Day if the above scenario happens? Check today's title. All of that and more is coming at you on the Thursday extravaganza. To learn more about l...

Fleming to OSU? | 'Tressel should be president of this university'

May 29, 2019 11:00 - 13 minutes

Building foundation with Five Stars?

May 28, 2019 13:47 - 12 minutes

The top-rated wide receiver recruit in program history? The top-rated offensive line recruit in program history? Yes, we are talking Ohio State's 'possible' Class of 2020. And yes, we are being realistic. Julian Fleming, a Pennsylvania native and the nation's No. 1 receiver, will announce his commitment on Friday. Paris Johnson, a Cincinnati native and the nation's No. 1 left tackle recruit, just visited LSU but has one official visit left.  How confident should we be that both will be Buckey...

Putting Paris in perspective

May 23, 2019 12:37 - 9 minutes

If the "Blind Side" was being made today, Paris Johnson would likely get a call from the film's casting director.  The Class of 2020 star and Cincinnati native recently transferred fro St. Xavier to Princeton so he can graduate early and is THE left tackle prototype: 6-foot-7, 290 pounds, great feet, great frame, great ... you get the picture.  Instead of taking the Hollywood route, Johnson is currently verbally committed to Ohio State. But the Urban Meyer-to-Ryan Day transition meant Johnson...

Ranking the top-12 football players on Ohio State's 2019 roster

May 22, 2019 12:48 - 26 minutes

Who are the top-12 players on Ohio State's football roster in 2019? That is the question The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, and Dave Biddle will answer on today's show. Who is No. 1 on the list? Where does new quarterback Justin Fields rank? We will go in reverse order 12-1, and we hope that you will include your personal top-12 in the comments section. Feel free to disagree (or agree), just make sure to feel free. A lengthy, fun edition is coming at you on the Wednesday extravaganza. To l...

Five stars in focus

May 21, 2019 13:50 - 14 minutes

Can you imagine Justin Fields handing the ball to Kendall Milton, who darts around the end courtesy of a Paris Johnson pancake block? And can you imagine it setting up some play-action love as Fields hits wide receiver Justin Fleming for six? Let your imagination run wild ... because that could become reality. All three Class of 2020 five-stars could don the Scarlet and Gray. Duane Long remains on hiatus but we bring in the Dean of Ohio State recruiting - Bill Kurelic - to offer up the latest...

The Joshua Perry Show: Recruiting concerns on defense?

May 20, 2019 18:23 - 15 minutes

We are back with this week's edition of The Joshua Perry Show. On today's show, the former Ohio State linebacker, national champion, captain and NFL player joins Dave Biddle to discuss the following: * The Buckeyes only have one defensive commitment in their 2020 recruiting class, exactly seven months from the early signing period in December. Is Joshua concerned? Why or why not? * Does Joshua like the early signing period? * How long does it usually take for transfers to get acclimated to th...

Past 100 days in office: How well is Ryan Day doing?

May 20, 2019 13:20 - 13 minutes

It is well past the first 100 days in office for first-year Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. He has already had a lot on his table, and on today's show, Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for a rundown of the big things Day has done so far, and how well he is doing on those fronts. This includes the quarterbacks Day has added to the roster, the job he did putting together a coaching staff, and the job he is doing on the recruiting trail.

Recruiting drought? 'It's May, relax'

May 17, 2019 13:06 - 12 minutes

What is the latest on the top prospects from Ohio in the 2020 class? Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that in great detail.

Wiltfong on Kendall Milton momentum, Irish threat up front

May 16, 2019 13:14 - 8 minutes

We've talked plenty about Ohio State's impending, historic wide receiver haul. But who will keep the safety in the box? If the Buckeyes have their way it could very well be California standout Kendall Milton. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong recently flipped his Milton Crystal Ball to 'foggy.'  Why? He explains. Also: * The latest on Cincy's Darrion Henry and Paris Johnson. Can we start using ink? * Why isn't USC in the mix for Milton? * Has Notre Dame become 'O-Line U' and how...

Introducing Ohio State's D-line, aka 'The Crushmen'

May 15, 2019 12:38 - 16 minutes

Ohio State's defensive line has a "Rushmen" package when the Buckeyes deploy four D-ends at the same time. However, analyzing Ohio State's defensive line as a whole, an accurate nickname might be "The Crushmen." Why? Because this group is loaded with experience and talent, and might be the deepest D-line to come through Columbus. Which, would be saying a lot considering some of the deep defensive lines we've seen from OSU over the years. The group is especially deep at defensive tackle, where...

Best wide receiver haul ... ever?

May 14, 2019 13:07 - 14 minutes

Ohio State has been fortunate to attract some great receivers in its storied history. Just last season, the Buckeyes added a 5-star from Texas in Garrett Wilson. So what about an encore? Oh, there is one coming alright. The Buckeyes already have commitments from Gee Scott and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. For some programs, two top 30 wide receivers would be cause for celebration. Here? Not so much. Crystal Balls are rolling in avalanche fashion for Julian Fleming to become a member of the Scarlet and ...

The Joshua Perry Show: Talking schematics on both sides of ball

May 13, 2019 18:41 - 15 minutes

You wanted to hear from No. 37 on schematics, and today you are getting your wish. That's right, on today's edition of The Joshua Perry Show, the former Ohio State linebacker, national champion, captain and NFL player goes in depth on schematics. And of course he talks a lot about the defensive side of the ball and how the philosophy of Greg Mattison and Jeff Hafley will differ from that of Greg Schiano's. However, Joshua will also delve into the offensive side of the ball and explain what ma...

May 10, 2019 03:29 - 14 minutes

Also on the docket: * What are reasonable expectations for Ryan Day's first season as the Buckeyes' head coach? * We discuss Zach Smith's arrest for a violation of a protective order. * Should Ohio State's football team take trips abroad like Michigan's team does?

Fleming's Crystal Ball; Buckeyes raiding Michigan, Texas

You will enjoy hearing about the talent quest today with 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, who provides the la...

'It's the biggest question on the Buckeyes' defense'

May 08, 2019 13:10 - 17 minutes

What is the biggest question on Ohio State's defense? Middle linebacker. At least, according to The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, who joins Dave Biddle for today's show. But Bax likely isn't alone. Almost every OSU fan would say the same thing when asked about the defense. Will the starter be Tuf Borland, Teradja Mitchell or Baron Browning? Will there be a rotation? Also on the docket: * A look at the Buckeyes' depth and projected starters on the offensive line. * Thoughts on Matthew Baldwi...

No defense for Class of 2020?

May 07, 2019 12:46 - 13 minutes

We all knew Ryan Day wouldn't be just like Urban Meyer. But is the new boss taking things to the extreme? Yes, Day is known for his offensive wizardry. But he is aware there is another side of the ball ... right? Right? Ohio State's current Class of 2020 haul has eight members - seven on offense, one on defense. And the defensive player? He's basically and Urban Meyer holdover recruit. What gives? We delve into that and other recruiting intrigue with the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting Bill Kur...

The Joshua Perry Show: Young Buckeyes who are on the rise

May 06, 2019 17:57 - 15 minutes

Who is a young, inexperienced player on each side of the ball that Ohio State fans should keep a close eye on this year? That is one of the topics of conversation on The Joshua Perry Show today. Also on the docket: * What are the Buckeyes doing during this time of the year? * Why is Mickey Marotti so good at his craft? * Will Urban Meyer coach again? All of that and more is coming at you on The Joshua Perry Show. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www...

Will Urban Meyer coach again?

May 06, 2019 13:15 - 17 minutes

You know it is the offseason when this is the main topic of conversation on the show, but let's have at it: Will Urban Meyer coach again? It seems to be a relatively hot topic not just in Buckeye circles, but among college football fans in general. Would Meyer coach at USC? Or another program? And why should you care? Because he would likely take a couple of very important men with him: Mickey Marotti (who just signed a new contract at Ohio State, but there would be ways to get out of it) and...

Predicting the Buckeyes' 12-game regular-season record

May 03, 2019 12:48 - 12 minutes

What will Ohio State's 12-game regular-season record be in 2019 in Ryan Day's first full season as head coach? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on today's show to answer that question, plus: * What are JBook's biggest concerns offensively and defensively for the Buckeyes this year? * What does he feel best about as he analyzes this roster on both sides of the ball? * JBook played college football at Ohio University, the type of school that does not make much money off its football program (some...

Is Ryan Day the new quarterback whisperer?

May 02, 2019 13:23 - 12 minutes

Ryan Day has yet to lead the Buckeyes into Ohio Stadium as the 'real' head coach. A three-game interim showing when you know the incumbent Rock Star is coming back to the stage is one thing.  Now it's Day's show. This much Day has already proven beyond the shadow of a doubt: The guy can coach and RECRUIT quarterbacks. Does this give Ohio State a real advantage going forward as the recruiting scene for quarterbacks is more chaotic now than it has ever been? We bring in 247Sports Director of Re...

'Penn State fans should be grumpy about it'

May 01, 2019 13:14 - 12 minutes

Ohio State landed four-star quarterback Kyle McCord on Tuesday, and he hails from Philadelphia. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss McCord's decision to become a Buckeye. And Bax thinks Penn State fans should be salty about losing out on McCord. It is a quarterback-themed show as we also delve into what to expect from Gunnar Hoak, Justin Fields and more. All of that and more is coming at you on the Wednesday extravaganza, To learn more about lis...

Did Buckeyes win QB shuffle? | Weber nails landing spot

April 30, 2019 13:19 - 15 minutes

Yes, it is technically the offseason. But this is Ohio State football. Is there really an offseason? Judging by the news generated in the last seven days since Duane Long was here on the BM5, there is nothing 'off' about it. The Buckeyes quarterback carousel has spun itself into a new rotation. Gunnar Hoak is back home after three years in Kentucky. What type of role will he have? There was also this little talent acquisition event called the NFL Draft. Think New Year's Eve in NYC meets Nashv...

The Joshua Perry Show: Should college football players get paid?

April 29, 2019 18:08 - 24 minutes

It is a divisive topic, but one we are going to delve deep into on The Joshua Perry Show today. Should college football players get paid? And before you say, "They already get paid. They get a full-ride scholarship, plus a cost-of-attendance stipend on top of that." Yes, everyone knows that. The question is should get they paid a lot more than they currently do, considering the money that college football generates? If they did get paid a lot more, how would it work? Would starters get paid m...

Gunnar Hoak upgrade over Matthew Baldwin?

April 29, 2019 13:14 - 18 minutes

Today's show is loaded as Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle. * Is Gunnar Hoak an upgrade over Matthew Baldwin? * What are thoughts on Michael Jordan leaving early for the NFL and slipping until the very late stages of the fourth round? Would Jonah Jackson have transferred to Ohio State if Jordan returned? * What is Bank's take on OSU center Josh Myers? * We're still scratching our heads over Daniel Jones being selected over Dwayne Haskins in the NFL Draft. All of that and more on the Monda...

Haskins: 'The league done messed up'

April 26, 2019 13:09 - 13 minutes

Dwayne Haskins was not in the mood to be politically correct after falling to pick No. 15 of the first round of the NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins Thursday night. Haskins' exact words were: "I'm more motivated than ever. Now I've got an even bigger chip on my shoulder. The league done messed up." And it wasn't just that Haskins slipped to the middle part of the round. It is that the New York Giants selected QB Daniel Jones from Duke at pick No. 6 instead of Haskins. Now, Giants GM Dave ...

'He's an animal on tape'

April 25, 2019 13:09 - 9 minutes

Colorado is known for its ski slopes and progressive laws, among other things. Offensive linemen? Not exactly the state's calling card. At least for now. Ohio State may have located a prospect that can change that. Who is it? Also: Perhaps the best linebacker in the Class of 2020 will be in Columbus for an official visit this weekend. But Mekhail Sherman is thought to be a heavy Georgia lean. Can the Buckeyes get back in front here? What are you doing July 4? You will be on Bucknuts, waiting ...

'That's not the point here'

April 24, 2019 13:12 - 16 minutes

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, got quite the reaction from readers of his Bucket of Bullets column last Sunday when he wrote about the pending transfer of quarterback Matthew Baldwin away from Ohio State. Bax joins Dave Biddle to further explain his point regarding Baldwin and why he wrote the column. Also on the docket: * What exactly led to Baldwin's transfer? It was obviously more than just about "homesickness." * What are thoughts on Gunnar Hoak leaving Kentucky? Is he definitely OSU...

The Joshua Perry Show: 'That will be the conundrum'

April 23, 2019 19:34 - 19 minutes

Perry, the former Ohio State linebacker, national champion, captain and NFL player, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the following: * Thoughts on Matthew Baldwin deciding to transfer from OSU. * The possibility of the Buckeyes landing Kentucky transfer Gunnar Hoak for QB depth. * What could be expected of Chris Chugunov if he needs to play in a big game this coming season? * What is Joshua hearing about starting qu...

Duane Long's Eight Buckeyes Under Pressure

April 23, 2019 12:26 - 11 minutes

Which Buckeyes are best? The 2019 season is fast approaching. So we thought it was time to offer up some predictions. What could be more interesting than which players need to thrive? Nothing. Nothing could be more interesting. So Duane Long is here to reveal his Top Eight Buckeyes Under Pressure for the '19 season. Now, this is NOT a projection of who will go highest in the NFL Draft? This is a straight list of Buckeyes that have to raise their level regardless of class or position. Who is y...

Matthew Baldwin has entered the transfer portal, and the news actually broke while we were recording the show last night. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual visit to give his take on Baldwin's likely impending departure (he could return, but it seems unlikely), and let's just say JBook was taken off guard like everyone else. Also on the docket: * What are JBook's impressions of Justin Fields? * What are the biggest strengths and the biggest concerns for Ohio State with spring footba...

It's a relationship business

April 18, 2019 13:10 - 12 minutes

Coveted football prospects make college decisions for a number of reasons. One of the biggest: Relationships. Who do they click with on the staff? Who inspires them? Who can provide the future they want? Ohio State is blessed with a coaching staff able to forge such relationships.  We hit on one of them today. Which No. 1 prospect says his best relationship is with a certain Buckeyes coach? All of that and much more is waiting for you as we welcome 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltf...

April 17, 2019 11:22 - 23 minutes

Are you concerned about Ohio State sophomore quarterback Justin Fields? Well, the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, says it is time for you to relax.

Were any stars born?

April 16, 2019 13:00 - 15 minutes

Now that you've had a few days to gather those thoughts ... let's wrap our spring game chatter with a visit from Duane Long. Yes, we will throw out the disclaimer on spring game importance - no real, impactful decisions can be made based on the pseudo game.  But we did get a chance to see some traits, some flashes, some questionable displays. So sit back, relax and spend 5ish with us today. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-...

The Joshua Perry Show: 'You hear he's the guy'

April 15, 2019 18:06 - 20 minutes

Joshua Perry is back with the latest edition of his podcast, and he has excellent information to pass along as usual. Some fans might be concerned about Justin Fields -- and wonder if Fields is definitely going to be Ohio State's starting quarterback this year -- but Joshua is not worried. In fact, from what he is hearing, Fields is "the guy" at QB for the Buckeyes. Also on the docket: * What stands out about Matthew Baldwin? * What are thoughts on young offensive players Garrett Wilson, Jael...
