Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Ohio State is doing a bang up job in the portal to kick off the offseason. Thus far, the Buckeyes have landed quarterback  Will Howard , running back  Quinshon Judkins , center  Seth McLaughlin  and tight end  Will Kacmarek . Is adding a right tackle from the portal clearly the next priority? Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish to discuss that, discuss the pending decisions for some of OS...

Sure, you expected to wake up cranky. We get it. But then you learned Ohio State added elite transfer portal running back Quinshun Judkins. That should brighten your day, indeed. And that's not all. We've got Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter to bring you up to speed on other elite recruiting prospects and what Ohio State's transfer portal activity means for the future.

It was not that long ago when there was seemingly a flood of bad news surrounding Ohio State's football program. In fact, it was roughly a week ago. But now? The Buckeyes have seen a steady wave of good news and it might keep on coming. We are talking about upperclassmen foregoing the NFL to remain at OSU for another season. We are referring to the Buckeyes landing quality transfers such as quarte...

Ohio State landed quarterback  Will Howard  from the portal on Thursday. What are expectations for the fifth-year senior in what will be his lone season at OSU? Also, in general, what are our expectations for the 2024 Buckeyes? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

Patrick Murphy is bringing perspective as he analyzes the state of Ohio State's program heading into 2024, and is joined by Tim Hall from 97.1 The Fan.

We've talked here on the BM5 about this offseason's sail through uncharted waters. Some chose to hunker down and deal with big waves. Others hopped overboard. As it turns out, the Buckeyes could be approaching calmer waters. All signs point to Ohio State adding transfer portal quarterback Will Howard. Concerted efforts are being made to retain multiple key Buckeyes. Tyleik Williams has already ann...

The 2023 season ended with a dud for Ohio State and now there are serious questions that need to be answered. What changes will Ryan Day make to his coaching staff? What is the deal with some of the troubling rumors we have heard, such as the team only having light practices leading up to the Cotton Bowl and not even utilizing all of their practice time? Is there good news to report? Well, not yet...

Happy New Year, 'Nutters. We have a power-packed show for you today and we sail off into '24. What to make of an abysmal Cotton Bowl performance? Who stays? Who goes? We are talking players and staff here, people. Pat Murphy is here to handle all of your team upheaval. As if that wasn't enough, we bring in 247Sports recruiting guru Steve Wiltfong to macro and micro when it comes to Ohio State in t...

There are losses and then there are embarrassing losses. Ohio State's 14-3 defeat to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl on Friday falls in the latter category. On our postgame podcast, What We Learned Live, host Dave Biddle is joined by Heath Schneider, Matt Baxendell, Jonah Booker, Patrick Murphy and Steve Helwagen. Misery loves company, so come right in!

It is game day for the final time in 2023 for Ohio State as the Buckeyes will take on Missouri in the Cotton Bowl tonight in Dallas (8 p.m. ET; ESPN). The No. 7 Buckeyes (11-1) are now up to 4.5-point favorites over the No. 9 Tigers (10-2). Are we confident OSU will get the job done and end their season on a high note against a very good team? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle delve into all things Cot...

Patrick Murphy and Steve Helwagen come at you live from Dallas on this edition of the Happy Hour, as we are merely hours away from Ohio State's matchup against Missouri in the Cotton Bowl.

Real football is coming ... Ohio State style. We are about 36 hours or so from The Cotton Bowl's kickoff vs. Missouri in Dallas. What do we make of so many Buckeyes actually playing ... you know ... football in the game? Does it say anything about team culture? Also, how will Ohio State fare against the SEC opponent. Our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to wax poetic on the bowl game, talk Cl...

We are suddenly just two days away from Ohio State's matchup with Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. The Buckeyes are now favored by a point, after being a 2.5-point underdog for a couple weeks. Do we think that all of OSU's players will play on Friday, other than  Marvin Harrison Jr. ? What is our confidence level in  Devin Brown  at quarterback? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wedn...

Devin Brown is set to take the stage as Ohio State's starting quarterback. Devin Sanchez is set to make a commitment that has Ohio State on the edge of its seat. Who better to guide us through than The Dean and Grand Poobah? Yep, Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter medicated their holiday hangovers to be here with us. Is Devin Brown ready to shine on a national stage? Is Devin Sanchez a future Buckeye? W...

On the Friday 5ish, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle give predictions on whether certain Ohio State players such as Emeka Egbuka, J.T. Tuimoloau, TreVeyon Henderson and more will return for their senior seasons or turn pro. We also of course reflect on the wild signing day on Wednesday and what we think of the Buckeyes' 2024 class. Also, what are opinions on defensive line recruiting? All of that and...

On this edition of the Happy Hour, Patrick Murphy is joined by Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen. The gang looks back on the wild signing day for Ohio State, plus looks ahead to the Cotton Bowl against Missouri.

Sailing uncharted waters can be eventful. See: National Signing Day, Ohio State. Wow. That was a wild ride. The Buckeyes emerged largely unscathed with the nation's best overall player and second-best class by average recruiting ranking. We've got the scars to prove it! Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State will sign one of the top-3 recruiting classes in the country today and that is of course good news for the Buckeyes. However, are there enough quality linemen in the class? Speaking of quality linemen, the No. 4 DL in the nation,  Amaris Williams , will announce his decision this afternoon. Will it be OSU or Auburn? Also, will the Buckeyes sign all of their commits, or might one of them...

The clock is ticking ... like really ticking. National Signing Day is tomorrow. Will Ohio State secure signed commitments of Jeremiah Smith, Eddrick Houston, Jeremiah McClellan and the rest of the Class of 2024 commitments? Will there be spatualas involved ... good and bad? Will Ohio State secure transfer portal additions? Will the sky actually land on your head? Questions that need answers. Thank...

It is a quarterback-themed version of the show as Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle. What do we expect from  Devin Brown  in the Cotton Bowl against Missouri? Who do we think will be the Buckeyes' starting QB in 2024? Will it be Brown?  Lincoln Kienholz ?  Air Noland ? Might  Ryan Day  take another look in the portal for a quarterback if Brown (and/or Kienholz) does not play well in the bowl game? Also,...

If you could change one thing about Ohio State football, what would it be? That is the main topic of discussion on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle. Also, what are the Buckeyes' biggest needs, in order, from the transfer portal this offseason? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

So many moving parts, so little time.  Key Ohio State veterans met with the media yesterday and made their Cotton Bowl intentions known. It's going to be a surprisingly robust Buckeyes roster that faces off with Missouri.  Devin Brown certainly let us know how he feels about being Ohio State's QB.  Mark Porter and Bill Kurelic are here to discuss that and a litany of other topics including transfe...

Patrick Murphy is back with another edition of the Happy Hour, with this episode focusing on recruiting, the transfer portal and the latest with the 2023 team.

It sure felt like the changing of the guard when quarterback  Devin Brown  was one of Ohio State's players that were made available to the media on Tuesday. Brown is in line to start the Cotton Bowl against Missouri and if he plays well, will likely be the favorite to be the Buckeyes' QB1 in 2024. Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle talk about Brown taking the reins and what to expect from him. Also, i...

Who does Ohio State really want from the transfer portal? Which Buckeyes will leave for the NFL? Which Buckeyes will leave for ... 'greener' college pastures? Which college prospects are strongly considering life in Columbus? It's supposed to be Cotton Bowl prep time but it so much more. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
