Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Another year of Big Ten Media Days is in the books and on today's show, Dave Biddle will discuss the most interesting things that were gleaned from Ohio State's perspective. What does the overall health of the Buckeyes look like entering camp? How much is the consecutive losses to Michigan motivating them? When does  Ryan Day  want to name a starting quarterback? Just how close is the competition...

Ohio State's Class of 2024 recruiting haul will have a new look after this weekend.  Will the class be red carpet worthy or need to use a side entrance? Many 'Nutters feel like that answering is impending. We know this: * Northwestern transfer linebacker Nigel Glover is scheduled for an official visit to Ohio State today. * 'Summerfest in The Shoe' has a guest list to stop traffic. We dive deep on...

Big Ten Media Days have arrived in Indianapolis and all of Ohio State's obligations will be held today (Wednesday). On today's show, Patrick Murphy, Steve Helwagen and Dave Biddle talk all things Buckeye football and what to expect this season. That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Panic at the disco? Nah ... not yet. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter join to review a weekend loss on the trail, who could be next and how Ohio State will finish out the Class of 2024. Also: Who is the one Buckeye we cannot afford to lose this season? Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

On today's show, Dave Biddle flies solo and answers several questions from Bucknuts subscribers that were posted to The Front Row message board. There were many questions about defensive recruiting for Ohio State and whether fans should be concerned. Among the other topics were predicting the four teams that will make the College Football Playoff this year and who will be the first two teams out....

We are thrilled to welcome in Ohio State head men's basketball coach Chris Holtmann to this edition of the Bucknuts Happy Hour, hosted by Patrick Murphy.

Big Ten Media Days will kick off in Indianapolis on Wednesday. What are we most curious to hear Ohio State's  Ryan Day ,  Marvin Harrison Jr. ,  J.T. Tuimoloau  and  Cade Stover  talk about? Also, what are vibes on 5-star recruits that the Buckeyes are in on? Specifically  Aaron Scott ,  Dylan Stewart ,  Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa  (who is a high 4-star),  Eddrick Houston ,  KJ Bolden  and  Brandon Bak...

You know the prospects. We know the prospects. All that's left is putting a pen to paper. OK, we need verbal commitments first - but you get the point. The clock is ticking. We are close to finding out whether Aaron Scott picks Ohio State or Michigan. Will Kingston Viliamu-Asa pick Ohio State, USC or Notre Dame? Will Brandon Baker pick Ohio State, Oregon ... or somewhere else? Lots to figure out....

We did a deep dive on Ohio State's 2023 defense on Monday's show. Today, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle take a close gander at what to expect from the Buckeyes' offense this season. Presuming he is the starting quarterback, how will  Kyle McCord  perform? Throwing to the best WR corps in the country will help the cause for sure. But what about the offensive line? Are we concerned? Should we be? Wh...

We know what 'Nutters want: Defensive commitments. We know who knows all about that kind of stuff: Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter. Luckily, that dynamic duo is on our payroll! We've got the latest on a host of defensive targets the Buckeyes have in their sights: Aaron Scott, Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, Dylan Stewart, Eddrick Houston and others. Will the Buckeyes close the deal(s)? We've got vibes aplenty...

What can be expected from Ohio State's defense in 2023? The Buckeyes improved from 59th to 14th in the country in total defense during  Jim Knowles ' first season as coordinator in 2022. However, OSU's defense cost the team dearly in consecutive losses to close out the season against Michigan and Georgia. In addition to it being his first year in Columbus, Knowles inherited a lack of veteran talen...

We have a special guest on this week's Bucknuts Happy Hour, as former Ohio State wide receiver DeVier Posey joins the show to discuss his career and the Buckeye program now. We also dive into some of the preseason rankings that are coming out and where Ohio State fits in the national/Big Ten scene.

We have discussed second-year defensive players  C.J. Hicks  and  Sonny Styles  on the show quite often this offseason ... and with good reason. Both of them are strong candidates to have breakout seasons for Ohio State. On today's show, we are going to take a look at 12 other second-year Buckeyes and whether any of them might be headed for breakout seasons. In no particular order, the 12 are offe...

Who's in, who's out? It's all coming down to the wire for the Class of 2024. Ohio State's camp season is complete. Evaluations have been made in ink. Now it's just a matter of closure. Our Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here with the latest on all the guys you want and need to hear about. We also addressed a litany of questions from our live viewers about Ohio prep recruits to watch and LOTS mor...

Following the firing of longtime coach and former All-American player  Pat Fitzgerald , where does Northwestern go from here? Will it be difficult for the Wildcats to land a quality coach? Or due to all of the money the Big Ten is generating, plus the nice facilities at Northwestern, might it be an attractive job for a coach on the rise? Most of the show focuses on Ohio State's 2023 season which w...

On today's show, Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter answer recruiting questions posted by Bucknuts subscribers on The Front Row message board. Who might be the next few recruits to commit to the Buckeyes? Could Ohio State flip some prospects who are committed elsewhere? Sit back, relax and enjoy the Tuesday 5ish.

We always enjoy reading Phil Steele's preseason college football magazine and on today's show Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle will discuss what they agree and disagree about regarding Steele's preseason rankings. What do we think about things like Clemson being ranked No. 2 nationally by Steele and Ohio State being No. 5? What about Michigan being ranked ahead of the Buckeyes in the Big Ten East? A...

Ohio State landed the 18th commitment in its 2024 recruiting class on Thursday, 4-star cornerback  Miles Lockhart  from Chandler, Ariz. The Buckeyes still have the No. 2 class in the country behind Georgia. However, if OSU lands 2-3 of the 5-star prospects they are still in on, could this be the year the Buckeyes finally finish with the No. 1 class in the land? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to di...

Another day, another impressive defensive prospect commits to Ohio State? It's quite possible as longtime Class of 2024 target Miles Lockhart announces his commitment today at 3 p.m. EST. Crystal Balls have been rolling from Arizona to Columbus for an extended time and we get into it. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to talk Lockhart and a host of other topics/prospects: * What caused the Chi...

Cornerback  Aaron Scott  will make his announcement on July 30, while safety  KJ Bolden  is set to announce exactly one month from today on Aug. 5. Are the Buckeyes in good shape with both of them?  We also delve into a few topics ab...

We are not sure if  Larry Johnson  is a big Kool Moe Dee fan, but regardless, he must be rhetorically asking all of his doubters "How ya like me now?" On Sunday, Ohio State landed 5-star defensive tackle  Justin Scott  from Chicago. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Scott is ranked as the No. 4 defensive lineman and the No. 21 overall recruit in the country in the 2024 class, per the 247Sports Composite. It...

It's Friday! It's a holiday weekend! Let's have some fun talking Buckeyes. Steve Helwagen is here and we run the gamut of Ohio State topics: * Is Aaron Scott about to give his dad an AWESOME birthday guft? * Will Marquise Lightfoot pledge to the good guys on Monday? * What are the current Buckeyes up to right now with Mighty Mick? * Is Ohio State a favorite to reach the Final Four and who is the c...

On this edition of the Bucknuts Happy Hour, Patrick Murphy and friends discuss breakout candidates for Ohio State's football team in 2023, defensive recruiting going well for the Buckeyes and much more.

Is Brandon Baker the best offensive lineman in the Class of 2024? It's quite possible. Is Ohio State the choice for the Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei star? It's quite possible. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to dive deep on Baker, from his recruitment's status to how he fares on tape.  We also provide the latest on Dylan Stewart, Dorian Brew, Marquise Lightfoot and Eddrick Houston before tac...
