Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the BM5 and we threw you a little curveball. It's Steve Helwagen taking center stage and he's ready for the spotlight.
Spring Practice gets rolling in less than a week. Hard to believe but it's true. What do we need to see? Who do we need to see? We've got ideas and names.
Ohio State's finest just put on a show at the NFL Scouting Combine. Steve was there. How would he stack the board of Buckeyes if he was running an NFL team (or the Browns)?
We finish on the hardwood as the Buckeyes try and help senior star Bruce Thornton break all-time records en route to a potential NCAA tourney bid.

Has Ohio State identified a top-of-the-board defensive end? Could he be part of special package deal?
Yes and yes. We talk Rashad Streets, his visit schedule and why we have real optimism about his future in college football.
Who else has an extremely sunny outlook when it comes to football? Louisiana native Easton Royal. His game matches his name.
And of course, we need to hit on Ohio State sending an Olympic team to the NFL Combine last week.

Ohio State's Sonny Styles put on an absolute show at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday. The 6-foot-5, 244-pound Styles recorded a vertical leap of 43.5 inches, which is the highest for an off-ball linebacker in 23 years. He also ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds and recorded a standing broad jump of 11'2" which was also the best among all linebackers and defensive linemen who took part Thursday. (He was the only player on Thursday to top 11 feet.)
Also, many draft analysts now have Caleb Downs projected as the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, with Mel Kiper being the latest. Many others still have Arvell Reese going off the board at No. 2. Will the Jets' pick come down to one of those two Buckeyes? And did Styles enter his name in the conversation after wowing everyone in attendance in Indianapolis yesterday?
Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

The Radical Democrats
bros, the Democrats dont care of your needs. Travesty to believe we'd ever see OSU not in the fall.
lmfbo. theyre not starting anything. theyve took over cause we let them. wake up
Its sad that liberalism plagues these schools, then they do this to them. Maybe fore were all dead, eyes might get opened by enough someday to stop it and them.
Colleges love liberalism. Reap it and weep
Democrats choices ruined Ohio State now. Just like small business owners, just like middle class workers, and many more. Hope yall get what ya ask for.
duh...because Left politicians do not care folks. Remember come November if you can get over your "Trump derangement syndrome. They cant and wont. Theyll keep destroying our lives if let to.
from a die-hard born Buckeye. LSU has played and proved they should be 1. Stupid to say diff
If they wouldn't have stupidly picked Haskins over Burrow, we'd have best college team in history
because apparently the NCAA and college football is in bed w Ttun. Only way. How else would the reigning big ten champs not be??
feel free to put your phone on silent during the podcast
good stuff dave
