Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

The Buckeye Preacher aka Gee Scott Sr. is back on the show to spread knowledge. Today, Mr. Scott gives insights on Ohio State beginning preseason camp this morning, his thoughts on the  Quinn Ewers  saga, what to expect out of the Buckeyes' defense this season and much more. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State sits at the center of the college football universe right now. As we witness the sport's changing landscape from Ground Zero, it seems every day is an adventure. Yesterday was ... no different. Quinn Ewers is coming ... now ... or at least soon. The Texas phenom reclassified and is headed to Columbus. Four elite quarterback prospects in one room? Yes. Potential for drama. YES. Duane Lon...

There is much to discuss on the show today as 2022 cornerback  Jaheim Singletary  de-committed from Ohio State on Sunday.  Might he re-commit down the line, or will the Buckeyes need to look elsewhere? Also, quarterback  Quinn Ewers  -- who is currently the top recruit in the nation in the 2022 class -- might reclassify to the 2021 class and join OSU's team sometime this month. All of that and mor...

It has been an action-packed week for Ohio State football ... and camp doesn't even start until Tuesday. Jonah Booker drops by for his usual Friday visit to discuss all the high points, including: * Takeaways from the impressive group of recruits that attended the Buckeyes' cookout on Thursday in Columbus and where OSU stands with some of the top prospects who were in town. * What does JBook make...

It's never dull on the Buckeyes beat.  Quinn Ewers, the high-profile Class of 2023 quarterback committed to Ohio State could be coming a year early. Domino effect anyone? What happens to Ohio State's quarterback room? What happens to quarterback recruiting nationally? Is Ewers a trend setter? It's also 'Cookout' day at the WHAC as the Buckeyes will welcome a litany of 2023 prospects but 2022 and 2...

The madness that is talk of conference expansion is upon us again. If the SEC does in fact add Texas and Oklahoma, what should the Big Ten's next move be? The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, believes there is only one program that will move the meter and that is Notre Dame. Bax joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that plus: * Might the Big Ten merge with the Pac 12? * Can you believe all the stuff...

Who do you want? Who makes sense? Who helps Ohio State? Yep, we are talking conference expansion today with Duane Long. The dominoes have started falling. Who does our Duane Long think the B1G should focus on when it comes to new members? How we do see things actually working? We get deep on that as well as recruiting. Ohio State is set to host a litany of prospects on Thursday for a cookout.  Mor...

On today's show, we look back on Ryan Day's comments at Big Ten media days and translate what he said. Wait, translate? Yes. While we love Day around here, he is a football coach. And guess what? Football coaches don't always tell the media everything that is on their minds, and why should they? So we are here to translate Day's comments on Ohio State's competition at quarterback and many other to...

Can you feel it? It's the college football season coming just around the corner. Bucknuts is in Indianapolis for Big Ten Media Days and Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to talk all about it.  What is to make of Kevin Warren's comments yesterday? Spoiler: JBook is having none of it. What about Jim Harbaugh? What the latest with the rivals from up north? What are we looking forward to hearing from the...

So many topics, so little time. * 247Sports updated Class of 2022 rankings yesterday and Buckeyes were on the move. Who rose? Who fell? * Crystal Balls have rolled for Zion Branch, Chris McClellan and Kam Dewberry. When will they be rolling towards Columbus? * Ohio State is in pursuit of another Californian to take the helm at quarterback. What do we think of Nicholaus 'Nico' Iamaleava? * The end...

Gee Scott Sr. aka The Buckeye Preacher makes his return on the show and there is a lot to discuss. Among the topics are the latest developments regarding name, image and likeness in college football, the decisions of Ohio State's player to get the vaccine or not, thoughts on Big Ten media days kicking off tomorrow and much more. You won't want to miss this 26-minute edition of the Wednesday 5ish.

It's time to hop in a smaller time machine and arrive at Nov. 27.  Location? Ann Arbor.  Assignment? Predict Ohio State's starting offense for The Game. Duane Long is here and has accepted said challenge. Yes, some spots on Ohio State's offense are set in stone. But there are several up for grabs. * Justin Fields is in Chicago. Who takes over under center? * Can a young wide receiver crack the top...

The college football season is almost here. Big Ten media days will be held Thursday-Friday in Indianapolis this week and we are fired up about it on the Bucknuts Morning 5. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to preview media days, including: * What are the biggest storylines for Ohio State? * What's the biggest storyline for one of the other 13 teams? Could it be whether this will be Jim Harbaugh's...

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here. Life got in the way on Thursday.  So that means today is a twofer: Two BM5 episodes for the price of one. It's a glorious Friday as we head into a summer weekend. We asked Bucknutters to submit quality questions for Wiltfong. Quality answers ensued. Spend (another) 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

On a scale of 1-10, what is your confidence level in Ohio State's 2021 defense and defensive coordinator Kerry Coombs? Jonah Booker drops by for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus: * What is a bigger concern on the defense: the linebacker or the defensive backs? * How great will the Buckeyes' 2021 defensive line be? * Moving to the offensive side of the ball, who will be the starting cen...

Terrelle Pryor and the guys want their wins back. And can you blame them? (Well, maybe you can, and we will get into all of that.) Ohio State was 12-1 in 2010, but that season was wiped from the record books due to "Tatgate." Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * Is the competition to be the Buckeyes' 2021 starting quarterback between  CJ Stroud  and  Kyle McCor...

Ohio State's recruiting dominance is ongoing and space to add more excellent prospects is dwindling in the Class of 2022. The Buckeyes have the nation's No. 1 class at this point but maintain plans for a fabulous finale. Who are the last names that will join the fold? Duane Long is here to talk about the latest addition to the '22 crew - George Fitzpatrick - and who might join him in the team pict...

Recently, a national publication came out with a list of the 10-best active head coaches in college football, and Ohio State's Ryan Day was not on that list. So, obviously that list can be disregarded. However, on today's show, Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle as they give their 10-best coaches in the college game. Hint: Day was not omitted from their lists. Also on the show, we talk about the Buc...

It is Friday and that means Jonah Booker on the Bucknuts Morning 5. What are expectations for  J.T. Tuimoloau  as a freshman for Ohio State this year? What is the latest on offensive line recruiting for the Buckeyes in the 2022 class? And what are JBook's thoughts on NIL thus far? All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish. [Note: Offensive tackle  George Fitzpatrick , who is discu...

Ohio State is on the trail trading punches with Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Notre Dame and other heavyweights. Those schools better have a solid chin. The Buckeyes have knockout power. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to shed light on the squared circle of recruiting. He offers the latest on Enai White, Xavier Nwankpa and several other key targets already in the fold: Kojo An...

College athletes being able to profit off their name, image and likeness is "even bigger" than Gee Scott Sr. expected. And he knew it would be really good. Mr. Scott returns to the show to explain more about that and other issues with NIL. Plus he delves into insights about  J.T. Tuimoloau  that you will not want to miss. Also, why are all of these top recruits wanting to play for Ohio State? All...

Let's face it, that was as good a 48-hour recruiting stretch as even Ohio State has had in quite some time. Adding the nation's top player? Check. Adding a prospect from Georgia that didn't list Ohio State as a finalist originally? Check. Ryan Day outpacing Urban Meyer on the recruiting trail? Check. Linebackers coming from other major programs and our own running back room? Check. Check up.  Duan...

Nearly seven months after the December signing period -- when most of the 2021 prospects signed with a college football program -- Ohio State landed the No. 1 player in the country. Defensive lineman  J.T. Tuimoloau  selected the Buckeyes yesterday, giving quite the 4th of July gift to Buckeye Nation. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to talk all things JTT, plus we take a look at OSU likely adding...

After over a year of speculation, multiple visits taken, and a high-profile visit cancelled, the No. 1 player in the 2021 class, J.T. Tuimoloau, has committed to Ohio State. He chose the Buckeyes over Oregon, USC, Washington, and Alabama.
