Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 28, 2018
December 28, 2018 16:33 - 12 minutesWhat is the latest on Ohio State as the Buckeyes prepare for the Rose Bowl against Washington. In this special edition (read: late because we're on west coast time) Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss: * The injury to OSU left tackle Thayer Munford. * The future status of both Greg Schiano and Greg Studrawa on the Buckeyes' coaching staff. * What is the latest we're hearing on the Justin Fields front? All of that and more on the Friday extravaganza. To learn more about listener...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 27, 2018
December 27, 2018 14:58 - 12 minutesThe holiday glow is still shining here on the BM5! Ohio State is in Cali getting ready for a Rose Bowl date with Washington. Does that mean recruiting has come to a halt? Of course not. At Ohio State, recruiting NEVER comes to a halt. So we are once again fortunate that 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong joined us. * The Buckeyes got a Christmas gift from the Pacific Northwest. What will the present be like in Columbus? * Indianapolis native Wiltfong on the recruitment of Ind...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 26, 2018
December 26, 2018 14:27 - 10 minutesIt was a Merry Christmas for Ohio State as the Buckeyes landed 2020 four-star wide receiver Gee Scott from the state of Washington on Tuesday. What does this say about the recruiting of Ryan Day and Brian Hartline? The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus: * What will happen with OSU's defensive coaching staff following the Rose Bowl? Will Greg Schiano return as defensive coordinator? Or will Day perhaps promote Alex Grinch to defensive c...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 24, 2018
December 24, 2018 13:26 - 12 minutesWill Justin Fields transfer to Ohio State following the bowl season? According to Bill "Bank" Greene, the chances of Fields playing for the Buckeyes in 2019 is excellent. Bank joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss all things Fields, plus: * Has Ryan Day smoothed things over with 5-star 2020 recruit Paris Johnson? * How many recruits will the Buckeyes add in their 2019 class in February? Will Doug Nester sign with OSU? * Will Ohio State junior center Michael Jordan stay for his sen...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 21, 2018
December 21, 2018 12:10 - 15 minutesWhat is the latest on the Justin Fields-to-Ohio State rumors? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for an action-packed edition of the show to discuss that, plus: * What type of quarterback would the Buckeyes be getting in Fields if he does transfer to OSU? * What are people nationwide saying about Ryan Day and his ability to coach up QBs? * Ohio State's 2019 recruiting class is high on quality and low on quantity. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 12 in the 247Sports Composite team recruiting rankin...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 20, 2018
December 20, 2018 15:06 - 13 minutesSmell that? It's not smoke, relax. Nothing is on fire. Everyone is safe. You may have heard Ohio State is reeling since the beginning of the Early Signing Period. You heard wrong. Given the way this year has gone, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. But we needed some truth. So we brought in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to let you know how Ohio State fared yesterday. All of that and more as we review Commitmas ... To learn more about listener data and our privacy pr...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 19, 2018
December 19, 2018 14:03 - 14 minutesOur good friend Bill King of The Bill King Show on Nashville Sports Radio has dubbed the early signing period -- which kicked off today -- "Commitmas." We like that term, and thus far Ohio State is receiving many nice presents. And more good news is expected later in the day when Zach Harrison makes his announcment. The Dean of Ohio State Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic (who else, right?) joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss all things early signing day from the Buckeyes' perspect...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 18, 2018
December 18, 2018 14:19 - 11 minutesIt's the eve of the Early Signing Period. Ohio State remains in the mix for several elite prospects, including a certain local. It's the 'eve' of the college transfer season. Ohio State is apparently in the mix for a certain elite quarterback ... possibly. So we have plenty to discuss and just the person to discuss it with: Duane Long. We talk Justin Fields, Zach Harrison, Nick Broeker, Jaden McKenzie, Doug Nester, breeding boxer puppies and much more. Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters! ...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 17, 2018
December 17, 2018 13:06 - 20 minutesMike Weber will turn pro after this season, which is not a surprise, but does lead to a question: Is running back depth going to be a problem for the Buckeyes in 2019. Obviously, J.K. Dobbins will return, but behind him, there could be some concerns. With the early signing period kicking off this Wednesday, we also talk a lot about recruiting on today's show: * What is the latest with Doug Nester and Paris Johnson? * Which recruits who are not committed to OSU might sign with the Buckeyes...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 14, 2018
December 14, 2018 12:18 - 10 minutesIf Greg Schiano does depart as Ohio State's defensive coordinator, and Alex Grinch is promoted to defensive coordinator, might Marcus Freeman make a homecoming to OSU? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus: * The refreshing honesty from Dre’Mont Jones (and the refreshing fact that he's going to play in the Rose Bowl). * Will Jordan Fuller return in 2019, or will he turn pro? * What is the latest on the recruiting front as far as Zach Harrison, Jordan Battle...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 13, 2018
December 13, 2018 14:31 - 13 minutesWhat are early returns on Ryan Day's recruiting trail exploits as head coach? Has his ascension weakened Ohio State's pitch in the wake of Urban Meyer's announced exit? We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to get an expert opinion. Other topics include: * Should Dwayne Haskins set sail for NBA waters? * Does the Big Ten have a new, legitimate recruiting challenger? * What does Washington offer Ohio State as a Rose Bowl opponent? Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 12, 2018
December 12, 2018 13:47 - 13 minutes"The Granddaddy of Them All" is not getting much discussion amongst Ohio State fans. Part of that is because of the existence of the College Football Playoff, and the Buckeyes not being a part of the four-team field. Another reason is the pending retirement of Urban Meyer and promotion of Ryan Day is by far the biggest topic of conversation when OSU fans banter about their squad. However, on today's show, Ohio State's matchup with Washington in the Rose Bowl is the crux of the show. The P...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 12, 2018
December 11, 2018 14:06 - 16 minutesChange ... change ... change. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's exciting. Well ... what's the deal at Ohio State now that Urban Meyer is in the process of handing the reins to Pat Day? So far ... so good. Could the staff be facing upheaval? Are there committed recruits ready to defect? Is Ohio State about to be knocked off its Big Ten perch? We brought in Duane Long, who takes a break from dealing with multiple boxer puppies to offer up his opinions on the 'Day regime' thus far. A...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 10, 2018
December 10, 2018 14:13 - 22 minutesFor several weeks, Zach Harrison appeared to be trending Michigan's way. Now the No. 1 recruit in the state of Ohio seems to be leaning toward Ohio State. But why? Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle to give his take on that (and Bank has always kept his Crystal Ball to OSU as far as Harrison is concerned). Also on the docket: What is the latest with Harry Miller, Jordan Battle, Cade Stover, Doug Nester, Nick Broeker and Cavon Butler? What are thoughts on Ryan Day being promoted to hea...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 7, 2018
December 07, 2018 12:08 - 12 minutesJonah Booker believes Ohio State made the correct decision in promoting Ryan Day to head coach, even without conducting a national search. However, JBook says that Day must do a complete overhaul of the defensive coaching staff. JBook joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus: * What is our overall confidence level in Day? * Are we buying into any of the conspiracy theories that Urban Meyer's decision to retire really wasn't his decision alone? * Is there any cha...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 6, 2018
December 06, 2018 15:13 - 12 minutesThere's an old adage about the transfer of power: You don't want to replace The Guy. You want to the guy who replaces the guy who replaced The Guy. Ryan Day won't have that luxury. He is replacing Urban Meyer (see: The Guy). Can he pull it off? Time will tell. Can he maintain Ohio State's recruiting momentum that actually started the day Urban was announced as Ohio State's coach on xxxxx. We bring in Steve Wiltfong, director of recruiting for 247Sports, to get his opinion on how Day will ...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Dec. 5, 2018
December 05, 2018 12:14 - 18 minutesThey say you don't want to be the coach who follows a legend. You want to replace the coach that replaced a legend. However, Urban Meyer is absolutely a legend, and Ryan Day will of course be taking over for him as Ohio State's head coach following the Rose Bowl. On today's show, the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the following: * Looking back on the Meyer era and everything he accomplished. * Thoughts on Day taking the gig, without a national search being co...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 4, 2018
December 04, 2018 14:12 - 23 minutesThe Urban Meyer Era is ending in Columbus. The esteemed coach will guide the Buckeyes through the Rose Bowl before being replaced by offensive coordinator Pat Day. Quite a Tuesday a.m. announcement to wake up to. Was it the most shocking news we've ever heard? No. This move was expected by many. What is our reaction to the news? What comes next for the Buckeyes? How does it affect recruiting ... the staff ... current players? You could say there is plenty to discuss. Duane Long is here...
Bucknuts Morning 5: December 3, 2018
December 03, 2018 15:22 - 15 minutesSure, it was a weekend that produced a bunch of answers. It also produced a bunch of questions. Since we last convened, Ohio State won the Big Ten title and saw its College Football Playoff hopes vanish. We brought in the most senior scribe on the Buckeye beat - our very own Steve Helwagen - to tackle all the developments. * Was the performance against Northwestern one of the season's best? * Has Dwayne Haskins played so well his early exit is inevitable? * Georgia over Ohio State: The...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 30, 2018
November 30, 2018 13:42 - 12 minutesNervous that Ohio State might be overlooking Northwestern in Saturday's Big Ten Championship Game? Well, Jonah Booker says you shouldn't be. He expects the No. 6 Buckeyes (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) will have their way with the No. 21 Wildcats (8-4, 8-1). JBook joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to break down the OSU-NU matchup and why he is so confident. Other topics that are broached include the Buckeyes' chances to make the College Football Playoff, plus how Dwayne Haskins has managed...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 29, 2018
November 29, 2018 14:15 - 18 minutesNot many pundits predicted Ohio State would beat Michigan in The Game. But 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong was indeed one of those pundits. And Wiltfong called it well in advance. He's here today to accept kudos on said premonition, plus talk Northwestern and the latest on recruiting. * How did The Game help recruiting? * Can Ohio State repeat the effort this weekend? * What does Northwestern offer as an opponent? * No Zach Harrison discussion whatsoever. * Is Renardo Gr...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 28, 2018
November 28, 2018 12:18 - 12 minutes"Win and you're in" is not the phrase Ohio State can use as it enters the Big Ten Championship Game against Northwestern. If the Buckeyes want to make the College Football Playoff, a narrow win over the Wildcats likely will not do the trick. The CFP selection committee made that fairly clear when it placed OSU No. 6 in the most recent rankings. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the Buckeyes' CFP chances, plus: * Northwestern is no joke. What problems might th...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 28, 2018
November 27, 2018 14:50 - 26 minutesSo that went well. Just like we thought it would ... right? OK, not so much. Yes, we are still basking in the glow of an unreal Saturday in The Shoe. Those in a state north of here? Not so much. There will be time to talk immediate future, Big Ten championship tussles and possible College Football Playoff berths. Today, we revel in the glory some more. Duane Long is here. He's pleased. Let's enjoy. Spend 5ish with us today!!! To learn more about listener data and our privacy pract...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 26, 2018
November 26, 2018 13:46 - 14 minutesWhat is an “Urban special”? It is when Urban Meyer is an underdog – or just doubted in general – and he makes your team look like the junior varsity playing the Division I state champions. Let’s be honest: It happened to Ohio State in the 2006 national championship game when Meyer’s Florida squad handed the Buckeyes a 41-14 defeat. And it sure happened on Saturday when Meyer’s Ohio State squad dismantled Michigan and its No. 1-ranked defense 62-39. Which included the Buckeyes taking a knee...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 23, 2018
November 23, 2018 14:23 - 13 minutesIt is all about the Ohio State-Michigan game on today's edition of the Bucknuts Morning 5. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to give predictions on who will win The Game, including a final score. We also answer your questions from the Front Row message board about the OSU-UM clash. All of that is coming at you on the Friday extravaganza. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit h...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 21, 2018
November 21, 2018 14:29 - 12 minutesIt is the eve of Thanksgiving and it's time to talk all about The Game. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss this year's rendition of the Ohio State-Michigan game. The Wolverines are 4.5-point favorites. Is this the year they finally win in Columbus, or will the Buckeyes take care of business? What are predictions on the final score? Also on the docket: * How might rainy weather affect The Game? * What are injury updates for both squads? * What is something Oh...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 20, 2018
November 20, 2018 14:08 - 14 minutesThe stakes are high. They always are for The Game. But the tension is amped when a Big Ten title game berth is on the line. Add in the speculation surrounding Ohio State and you have an emotionally charged atmosphere leading up to the regular season finale on noon at The Shoe. Duane Long is here to help put it all in perspective. ** Is Urban Meyer really considering an exit from Columbus? ** When it comes to Ohio State's struggles on defense, is the problem scheme, personnel or ... both?...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 19, 2018
November 19, 2018 14:07 - 19 minutesIt is the best rivalry in college football, and the stakes could not be much higher for the 2018 edition of the Ohio State-Michigan game. The Wolverines are favored by 3.5 points, meaning the Buckeyes are underdogs in The Game in Columbus for the first time since 2004. (Which was a 37-21 OSU victory in Troy Smith's coming-out-party, by the way.) What chances do we give Ohio State of pulling off the mild upset and sending Jim Harbaugh to 0-4 against OSU, and Urban Meyer to 7-0 against UM? B...
DeanCast: How Tim May sees the Brett McMurphy situation
November 16, 2018 15:45 - 16 minutesToday we have the return of the DeanCast. DeanCast guest today is 35-year Buckeye football beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch Tim May. On today’s show we talk: ** May talks about how he sees the Brett McMurphy/Urban Meyer situation ** May’s initial reaction to what McMurphy wrote and what he found most interesting ** May talks about Urban Meyer and his reaction to McMurphy’s article ** May talks about his impending retirement after 35 years of covering Ohio State football - what he w...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 16, 2018
November 16, 2018 12:10 - 12 minutesThe New Orleans Saints (also known in some circles as the New Orleans Buckeyes) are arguably the best team in the NFL this season. They also have a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees, who is having an outstanding season. Yet, the Saints often use backup QB Taysom Hill in red zone and short yardage situations. Ohio State is starting to do the same thing with Dwayne Haskins and Tate Martell. Will the Buckeyes continue giving Martell more opportunities, or is that more in the wind...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 15, 2018
November 15, 2018 15:26 - 13 minutesWe are here ... albeit late thanks to a Gem City ice storm. But have no fear, 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here. The topic gamut was run: ** Why did Steele Chambers and Ronnie Hickman rise so high in the latest 247Sports Class of 2018 rankings update? ** Will the last four members of Ohio State 's Class of 2019 haul all be flips? ** Has the Zach Harrison ship sailed out of Columbus for Ann Arbor? ** Buckeyes vs. Terps: Beatdown coming? ** Ohio State in the College ...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 8, 2018
November 08, 2018 14:56 - 13 minutesIt's Thursday. It's 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong. It's knowledge for days. * Why the Crystal Ball move for Zach Harrison to Michigan? * The latest on in-state flip candidates Tommy Eichenberg and Jestin Jacobs? * Has the national Ohio State angst affected recruiting (see: Battle, Jordan)? * Does Steve think Ohio State will win out? * We break down a possibly crazy College Football Playoff hypothetical including the Buckeyes. Spend 5ish with us, 'Nutters! To learn mo...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 7, 2018
November 07, 2018 14:11 - 17 minutesMany people expected Ohio State would move up in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, but that did not happen. The Buckeyes remain No. 10 in the CFP rankings, and not only need to win out to make the four-team field, they likely need some help from the outside. And the Buckeyes also need to pass the eye test down the stretch. You know, actually look the part of a playoff squad. Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * What is the biggest concern...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 6, 2018
November 06, 2018 14:46 - 14 minutesIt's Ohio State vs. Michigan State this Saturday in East Lansing. It's always a big game. But this is a BIG game. If Ohio State wins in impressive fashion, sincere faith in this version of the Buckeyes could be 'restored.' If the Buckeyes see the Spartans' No. 1 rush defense dominate ... yeah, you know that will be awful. Can the Buckeyes get it done? Does the Nebraska game offer any evidence towards an answer to that? Duane Long is here to wax poetic about the current state of the Buckey...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 5, 2018
November 05, 2018 12:43 - 14 minutesOhio State sophomore safety Brendon White had his personal coming-out-party against Nebraska on Saturday with 13 tackles in less than 3 quarters of play. Why did it take so long for White to see the field this season on defense? And which other backup players perhaps deserve a chance to play for the Buckeyes? Alex Gleitman joins Dave Biddle for today's show to talk about all of that, plus: * It was a big recruiting weekend for the Buckeyes with them landing 2019 RB Marcus Crowley and 2020...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Nov. 2, 2018
November 02, 2018 11:27 - 11 minutesOhio State, fresh off its bye week, will get back in action on Saturday against visiting Nebraska. What wrinkles might the Buckeyes roll out against the Cornhuskers on both sides of the ball? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus: * What do we expect to see in the OSU-Nebraska game in general? * Is Shaun Wade finally going to move into the starting lineup at safety? * What is JBook's take on the Urban Meyer situation and the comments the Buckeyes' boss made earlier this we...
Bucknuts Morning 5: November 1, 2018
November 01, 2018 13:25 - 12 minutesTanned, rested and relaxed. That's how we'd describe 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong. Back this week after a brief Florida hiatus, Steve waxes poetic on the following topics: * Ohio State vs. Nebraska (and after that) * Running back recruiting: Crowley, Cain and Glass ... oh my. * Wandale Robinson decision: Wildcats over Huskers and Buckeyes? * Julian Fleming: Another Penn State-Ohio State marathon tussle brewing? Spend 5ish with us today! To learn more about listener ...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 31, 2018
October 31, 2018 13:05 - 17 minutesOhio State is No. 10 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2018 season, which were released Tuesday evening. Is there good reason for Buckeye fans to be optimistic their team will run the table and make the CFP? Or, especially with it being Halloween, are you a bit scared when you think about how this season might finish for the Buckeyes? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus dish out other treats such as: * Other than Shaun Wade perhaps sta...
Bucknuts Morning 5: October 30, 2018
October 30, 2018 13:03 - 13 minutesEveryone is relaxed, refreshed and recharged following the bye week, right? Let's hope that's true of the Buckeyes. Their last public effort was anything but inspiring. Hopefully, you'll be inspired by today's show as Duane Long and I discussed: ** Urban Meyer says he is coming back. Are we surprised? Thrilled? Still concerned? ** Will there be three Ohioans to flip their commitment to the good guys this cycle? ** What changes can be expected to Ohio State's offensive and defensive lineu...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 29, 2018
October 29, 2018 13:01 - 16 minutesIt feels like a coin-flip when it comes to predicting if Zach Harrison will select Ohio State or Michigan. Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle for today's show to give his take on what will happen with Harrison and why, plus: * Will the Buckeyes get offensive lineman J.D. Duplain from Strongsville, to flip from Michigan State to OSU? * Will defensive tackle Cavon Butler flip from Kentucky to Ohio State? And is that pretty much a lock at this point? * What will happen with Wandale Robinso...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 26, 2018
October 26, 2018 11:14 - 14 minutesHow much is all the talk from people like Paul Finebaum that Urban Meyer could step down after this season hurting Ohio State's recruiting efforts? Jonah Booker has some strong feelings on that, and he joins Dave Biddle for today's show. What does JBook think will happen with Meyer’s future? How long would Meyer stay at OSU if it was up to him and his health was good? Will the Buckeyes win out this regular season and win the Big Ten championship? How good really is Michigan? All of that...
Bucknuts Morning 5: October 25, 2018
October 25, 2018 13:21 - 17 minutesControversy. Haters. Agenda-driven, ratings-motivated media commentary. If you came here today for that ... bummer. You'll get none of it. What you will get is the most comprehensive Buckeyes talent acquisition update thanks to Bill Kurelic, the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting. Where is 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, our usual Thursday guest? Think beach, (adult) beverages and bikinis. Steve will be back next week. So sit back, relax and get a whole lot smarter about Buck...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 24, 2018
October 24, 2018 13:24 - 15 minutesFormer Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith's court case involving his ex-wife, Courtney, was resolved on Tuesday. The most notable item is that any charges of domestic violence by Zach Smith were dropped. He pleaded guilty to a minor misdemeanor of “disorderly conduct.” That won't fit with the national narrative, but it is reality. Also, what is up with the report that there is strife between Urban Meyer and Gene Smith? Meyer refuted it yesterday, and we believe him. But we also thi...
Bucknuts Morning 5: October 23, 2018
October 23, 2018 13:47 - 22 minutesDid the bye week come at the right time for the Buckeyes? Definitely. Why? Because this team (program?) is at a 'crossroads.' Will the Buckeyes double-down on what they've done thus far? Or will they use the extra time off to make personnel or scheme changes? Duane Long has strong opinions on this so it's good timing that he is today's featured guest. Sit back and enjoy 5ish with us!

Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 22, 2018
October 22, 2018 13:09 - 17 minutesOhio State suffered an embarrassing 49-20 defeat at the hands of Purdue Saturday night. Where do the Buckeyes go from here? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today’s show to sift through the rubble. Topics include: ** Is the stubbornness of the coaching staff one of the biggest issues? ** What needs to be fixed the most offensively? ** What needs to be fixed the most defensively? ** Is something off with head coach Urban Meyer? All of that and more on the Monday program. To learn ...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 19, 2018
October 19, 2018 06:36 - 15 minutesFor all the worrying about what is wrong with Ohio State this season, are fans not taking enough time to appreciate the best passing attack they have ever seen from the Buckeyes? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual visit to talk about that, plus: * Is OSU's wide receiving corps the best it has ever been top-to-bottom (e.g. 1-7)? * Despite the greatness of the passing offense, how big of a concern is the Buckeyes' offensive line? * What are predictions and thoughts heading into to...
Bucknuts Morning 5: October 18, 2018
October 18, 2018 13:30 - 10 minutesThe No. 1 player in Ohio main storyline left when it comes to 2019 class recruiting. Zach Harrison is a Columbus area native. Will he be in college? Harrison plans to enroll early. But where? Ohio State? Michigan? Penn State? Not exactly three programs that exchange fruitcakes come the holidays. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to talk about Harrison's recent Ann Arbor visit and it's possible impact. Plus - what's the deal with Peyton Powell? How serious a thr...
Bucknuts Morning 5: Oct. 5, 2018
October 05, 2018 11:37 - 10 minutesRedshirt freshman defensive back Shaun Wade is now practicing exclusively with the safeties for Ohio State. We like this development a lot, we just wonder what took so long. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss Wade, plus: * What are thoughts on safeties Isaiah Pryor and Amir Riep? * How is the Buckeyes' running game looking through five games? * K.J. Hill stepping up as perhaps the go-to receiver on OSU's team. * Should the Buckeyes consider resting Dre'...
DeanCast: DeanCast: Tim May from Columbus Dispatch talks about his impending retirement; Dwayne Haskins 1 and done; LB play; more…
October 04, 2018 16:20 - 21 minutesToday we have the return of the DeanCast. DeanCast guest today is 34-year Buckeye football beat writer for the Columbus Dispatch Tim May. On today’s show we talk: ** May talks about his impending retirement after 35 years of covering Ohio State football ** May looks back at the Urban Meyer/Zach Smith/Courtney Smith situation and if it is over ** May’s thoughts on the Buckeyes’ linebacker play this season ** May looks at how the rest of the season for the Buckeyes’ plays out ** May make...
