Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Ohio State is in search of more offensive lineman for its Class of 2019 haul.  Committed to Michigan State? No matter. Committed to Ole Miss? Not a problem. Can Urban Meyer and Co. flip several targets recently offered? We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to share wisdom on that and other topics. Then the Indiana native breaks down what the Hoosiers could have in store for...

You're also probably familiar with the "Bucknuts Roundtable" during the season, where our experts share opinions on the upcoming game and other relative topics.

Which Ohio State players should be seeing the field more often? That is one of many topics of today's show as the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show. Also on the docket: * Should the Buckeyes think about resting some of their banged-up starters such as  Dre'Mont Jones ,  Robert Landers  and  Mike Weber  this Saturday against Indiana? * The Hoosiers are 4-1, but is t...

These are good times for the Buckeyes. Urban Meyer's football team already overcame the biggest obstacle on the schedule. Chris Holtmann's basketball team added another fantastic recruit to the mix. First, the pigskin.  Will Ohio State suffer a similar fate to last season? Meaning: After the huge win over Penn State, will the Buckeyes trip up like they did in Iowa City last season? Duane Long is h...

It is the first day of October, but we are still talking about Ohio State's thrilling 27-26 comeback victory at Penn State Saturday night. The Buckeyes were down by 12 points with 8 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but mounted two late touchdown drives to earn the win. There are many things we will remember about this game for a long time, such as  Binjimen Victor 's 47-yard touchdown rece...

A lot of people got hot and bothered by a graphic that Ohio State released on Thursday that said, in all caps, "SILENCE." It was obviously in reference to quieting Penn State's "white out" Saturday night ... but that did not stop people from expressing all kinds of fake outrage via social media. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for today's show, and let's just say JBook is not amused by the developm...

Welcome to the first-ever Bucknuts DraftCast. This podcast will dive deep on Ohio State prospects that could be taken in the 2019 NFL Draft. It’s fitting our first guest is Dane Brugler from The Athletic. Let’s call it playing the trump card early because Dane is the best there is at breaking down college talent. The Ohio native and current Texas resident goes into extreme detail on the possible N...

It's been 61 days since Ohio State got a commitment. The wait is nearly over and when it rains ... you know. Could the Buckeyes soon add three new faces to the Class of 2019? Yes. Do we have the names and a breakdown for each prospect? Yes. Does the review come from 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong? Yes. Have you come to the right place to increase your Buckeye knowledge and spend 1...

Urban Meyer is back. No matter what those outside Ohio have to say. Has Meyer's absence hurt Ohio State's recruiting efforts? We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to answer this question. Nobody is more plugged in on the trail and we think Bucknutters will be pleased with what Steve has to say on this topic. We also talked about: * Jameson Willams - next in the class? * Zach...

Jeff Wadsworth quit his post on Ohio State's board of trustees because he did not believe  Urban Meyer 's penalty of three games was long enough. Then Wadsworth proceeded to air dirty laundry to the New York Times on Thursday, and tried to paint OSU and Meyer in a very bad light. This of course does not sit well with us here at Bucknuts. We felt it was a very weak move by a man who was known as a...

There is Big Ten football today. It's here. The season is actually here. You've been through a lot, 'Nutters. You deserve this.

We even got Steve to put h...

The offensive line was always a question mark for Ohio State when talking about the 2018 season. Now just three days from the opener against Oregon State? Well, it is an even bigger concern. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to talk about that, plus: * What about the optimism when analyzing this offensive line? * What are thoughts on the Buckeyes' starting linebackers? * How so...

You can see the categories we used this season below. Before we got to it, Duane shared his thoughts on the new starters at linebacker and on the offensive line. Spend 5ish with us this a.m.! PREDICTION CATEGORIES: * Who will lea...

How good is Ohio State's roster this season? Well, as you can tell from the headline, Jonah Booker believes it is quite stacked. JBook joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus: * Did OSU get it right with  Urban Meyer 's 3-game suspension? Why or why not? * Will the relationship between Meyer and Ohio State ever be the same? * What is to make of the national coverage of the Meyer situation? All of...

It was a big recruiting weekend for Ohio State, and the Dean of OSU Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic, drops by to tell you all about it. The Dean joins Dave Biddle to talk all things Buckeye recruiting. What do you need to know about the big weekend? And who might be next to commit to the Buckeyes in their 2019 class? And then the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins the party to talk about Ohio...

How will  Brian Hartline  do as Ohio State's new wide receivers coach? Jonah Booker thinks he will fare quite well. JBook joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus: * Could there be more fallout from the  Zach Smith  situation? * What is the latest on linebackers  Tuf Borland  and  Dante Booker ? * Is  Urban Meyer  excited about  Dwayne Haskins  taking over as the Buckeyes' quarterba...

It was a huge weekend for Ohio State's men's basketball team as head coach  Chris Holtmann  and his staff landed 5-star point guard  DJ Carton . Why did Carton make such a meteoric rise in the recruiting rankings? And how did the Buckeyes end up getting a commitment from him? What role did a local waterpark play in Carton's recruitment?  Who might be next to join Carton and  Alonzo Gaffney  in OSU...

This whole Chris Holtmann as basketball coach deal seems to be working out quite well. Ohio State hoops landed its No. 1 target at its biggest need position in point guard D.J. Carton.  What does it mean for the Buckeyes? A whole lot and we get into the details of what is the biggest commitment since D'Angelo Russell. We also bring in The Dean to finish off Class of 2019 football recruiting and of...

Will offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach  Ryan Day  have a big impact on Ohio State's offense in 2018? And is it surprising that Day has seemingly passed  Kevin Wilson  on the totem pole? Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle for opinions on that, plus: * What is our confidence level in  Tate Martell  if he is needed to be the Buckeyes' quarterback this season? * What about  Matthew Baldwin ? All...

We have no doubt at Bucknuts that a daily Big Ten football call-in show on Big Ten Network (yes, taking a page out of Paul Finebaum's book on the SEC Network) would do very well. The question is whether BTN would ever take up such a venture. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for an in-depth discussion about that, plus: * What is a bigger concern for Ohio State entering the 2018...

What is up with the budding St. Louis-to-Ohio State pipeline? And is Cleveland Glenville jealous? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to tackle the former topic, but not the latter. Ezekiel Elliott  is of course originally from the St. Louis area, and he became a household name across the country while at OSU. Then in the Buckeyes' 2018 recruiting class, they landed a pair of...
