Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

The Front Row asked. The Grand Poobah answered. Yep, we requested questions from our esteemed users and got great ones.  Then it was up to Mark Porter to provide equally excellent answers. They don't call him The Grand Poobah for nothing. While The Dean suns himself in a waterfront locale nestled in SEC country, Mark handled the workload of two men. From Chip Kelly's offensive tweaks to Demarion W...

The media interviewed  Ohio State  offensive coordinator  Chip Kelly  and all five scholarship quarterbacks on Tuesday. It was quite the interesting day as many notable pieces of information were gleaned about the QBs, the offensive line and more. Speaking of the QBs, when will  Ryan Day  name his starter? And who will it be? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin make their predictions on today's show, plus:...

It's the Grand Poobah for all to enjoy today. With The Dean on vacation, it's Mark Porter time. Our loyal live show viewers posed a litany of excellent questions. The Grand Poobah had answers.

Ohio State hit the practice field this morning. Fall Camp is here.  HALLELUJAH! All of the names you know and all the new names you have to see.

Preseason camp begins for Ohio State Thursday morning and we have questions. When will head coach Ryan Day name his starting quarterback? What does the competition look like at right guard? What about WILL linebacker? Will the punter be Aussie Nick McLarty or Buffalo transfer Anthony Venneri? Who will be the primary kickoff and punt returners? Is everyone healthy entering camp? How will the offens...

The Class of 2025 is nearly complete. Yes, we said 'nearly.' Our Bill Kurelic and 247Sports national recruiting scribe Tom Loy recently doled out their 'Class Superlatives' for Ohio State's haul. Superlatives were broken down into five categories: Top prospect; Prospect most likely to make early impact; Most underrated; Top targets remaining; Best recruiter. Bill and Mark Porter reviewed and provi...

The Monday 5ish with Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin gives the latest vibes on 5-star offensive tackle David Sanders Jr., wonders why Ohio State did not have some type of Friday Night Lights event this year (or a BBQ or something to that effect), looks back at the main storylines that came out of Big Ten media days and looks forward to preseason camp beginning for the Buckeyes on Thursday.

On this edition of the BHH, Patrick Murphy discusses the main takeaways from 2024 Big Ten Media Days.

Not a lot of true freshmen are expected to play big roles for Ohio State in 2024, but there are definitely some that will see the field. The list of course begins with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who appears to be in line to start from day one. What about other than him? How big of a role will running back James Peoples have? What about defensive end Eddrick Houston? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle...

We've got something different for you today. It's a trio down memory lane you need to take. Who are the top 10 high school prospects Mark Porter has evaluated via his 'Buck-Eye In The Sky' series? Good question. The answers are coming. Bill Kurelic joins as we reveal the top 10 high school films we've had the pleasure to review. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

The Wednesday 5ish entails Dave Biddle, Steve Helwagen and Patrick Murphy going into detail of what stood out the most from Ohio State’s perspective at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday.

The Class of 2025 is nearly complete. The finishing touches could be ... massive. But we need to wait on that. The Class of 2026 is looking real good in Ohio. The time is almost now for these prospects and we introduce you several Ohio State has on the radar. We also take a litany of questions and Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter once again held court. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Big Ten Media Days will be held this Tuesday-Thursday in Indianapolis and all of Ohio State's appearances will be held on Tuesday. The Buckeyes will be represented by head coach Ryan Day, cornerback Denzel Burke, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and defensive end Jack Sawyer. What are we most curious to hear from that foursome? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * Is Ohio State good enough at...

On this edition of ther BHH, Patrick Murphy, Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle give a detailed preview of Big Ten media days and the biggest questions we want to hear asked to Ohio State's reps and other teams' as well.

Ohio State landed 4-star defensive tackle Jarquez Carter yesterday, adding to the No. 1 2025 recruiting class in the land. JBook and Dave Biddle discuss that on the Friday 5ish, plus give levels of confidence for each of the Buckeyes' position groups entering the 2024 season.

Can Ohio State add another coveted defensive lineman to the Class of 2025 recruiting haul. We will know soon after 5 p.m. EST. Newberry (Fla). standout Jarquez Carter is scheduled to make the call in front of friends and family at his high school. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to discuss. Kurelic has rolled a Crystal Ball for Carter to join the good guys. You know what that means. Today's...

We opened the floor for questions from our Bucknuts subscribers and they delivered. On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle will discuss the following: * Did the NCAA mess up NIL? Can anything be done about it? * What statistical numbers does Will Howard have to hit this year for the Buckeyes to achieve their goals? By the way, do you know how many rushing yards Kyle McCord had last year?...

Jarquez Carter is ready to make his call. The Class of 2025 defensive tackle from Newberry, Fla., will announce his college choice on Thursday. If Carter chooses Ohio State over Miami (Fla.), Florida and several others, it would give the Buckeyes six defensive linemen in this cycle. We (would) love that. Carter is not the lone Ohio State target ready to pick a school. Trey McNutt is ready. Will Co...

On today's show, Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle give their predictions for Ohio State's 2024 football season. Will the Buckeyes win the Big Ten championship? What about the national championship? Who will lead the team in rushing? Who will lead the team in sacks? Who will lead the team in receiving yards? Who will lead the team in tackles? Which teams will finish in the top-5 in the Big Ten in order? W...

Unfortunately,  Ohio State  will likely be without third-year sophomore running back T.C. Caffey this season due to a knee injury, per multiple sources. The Buckeyes have an excellent 1-2 punch at tailback with  TreVeyon Henderson  and  Quinshon Judkins , but there is a lack of depth behind them. The only other two scholarship RBs on the roster are true freshmen  James Peoples  and  Sam Williams-D...

Ohio State is streaking towards the No. 1 overall class in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Guess who's making a serious run at the same crown? Them Ducks. We also have two Ohioans to discuss - Trey McNutt and Will Conroy. Will that duo need to adjust to the Western time zone for college? And invest in galoshes? It's possible. Oregon is not only predicated to be chief competition for B1G on-fiel...

The Wednesday 5ish talks about Vernell Brown III's upcoming announcement, wonders if Ohio State has a shortage of depth at running back entering the 2024 season and more. Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle take you through the journey.
