It is time for another position breakdown on the show and today Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle do a deep dive on Ohio State's defensive line. What can be expected from this unit in 2024? How will the Buckeyes' D-line measure up against the nation's best? What does the depth look like? Also, it appears as though those boats were in fact burned. Devin Brown didn't enter the transfer portal. Nor did any of OSU's other four scholarship quarterbacks Does this surprise us? Or not so much? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

The offseason is in full swing and we are going to do a series of position breakdowns on the show. We figured we would start with the glamor position for Ohio State: the tight ends. Wait, what? Alright, it might not quite be the marquee position for the Buckeyes, but it will be an important part of Chip Kelly's offense. How is the depth chart shaping up with fifth-year senior Gee Scott Jr., fourth-year junior Will Kacmarek who transferred in from Ohio University, sophomore Jelani Thurman, third-year sophomore Bennett Christian and fourth-year junior walk-on (who might not be a walk-on for much longer) Patrick Gurd? What can be expected from the group? How much 12 personnel will the Buckeyes deploy under Kelly's guidance? Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell discuss that on today's show, plus: * It looks like the dust has settled on the transfer portal from OSU's perspective. There are a total of six Buckeyes who entered the portal during this window, but other than perhaps Dallan Hayden -- who was in line to be the No. 3 tailback -- it does not appear as though OSU lost anyone who was in the plans for meaningful playing time. Are we surprised none of the Buckeyes' quarterbacks entered the portal? * We take questions from our live audience on a variety of Ohio State football topics. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Could Ohio State set the record with 15 draft picks next year? We think there is a very good chance as we are setting the fake odds at our fake sportsbook at 14.5 players from OSU drafted in 2025. Also, the transfer portal closes after tomorrow and so far OSU has avoided any notable departures. Also, has it been a disappointing offseason for Jake Diebler and Ohio State's basketball program thus far? Steve Helwagen, Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

There were some questions about Ohio State's linebackers entering spring. However, leaving spring there is quite a bit of optimism that the Buckeyes are set up very nicely at linebacker. The projected starters look good with fifth-year senior Cody Simon and junior C.J. Hicks. Also turning in good springs were junior Sonny Styles and third-year sophomore Gabe Powers, who are both sure to play a lot this fall in James Laurinaitis' rotation. Another young linebacker to keep an eye on is sophomore Arvell Reese. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show and takes a close look at the Buckeyes' situation at linebacker for 2024, plus: * The "Tat 5" is calling for the 2010 season to be restored, including all statistics. In light of Reggie Bush getting his Heisman back, it makes sense. Will it work? Probably not, but we're on their side and we hope it does. Keep in mind the Buckeyes were 12-1 that season, with a Big Ten championship and a Sugar Bowl win. And of course Jim Tressel's ninth win over Michigan in 10 tries. * The first round of the NFL Draft is tonight, beginning at 8 ET. Will Marvin Harrison Jr. be the first non-QB off the board? * It is slim pickings in the transfer portal right now. The best offensive tackle in the portal is Andrew Chamblee from Arkansas, who started eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2023 at left tackle and earned SEC All-Freshman honors. He was a 4-star prospect coming out of high school (No. 18 OT, No. 204 overall prospect in 2022 class, per 247Sports) but is ranked as a 3-star in the transfer portal. 247Sports ranks him as just the No. 22 OT and the No. 445 overall player to enter the portal since the end of the 2023 season. Do we think he would be an automatic upgrade compared to OSU's current tackles? Yeah, probably not. All of that and more is coming your way on the Thursday 5ish.

We talk a lot about Ohio State's quarterbacks on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. How confident are we that Will Howard will be the Buckeyes' starter and perform well? If Howard is the starter, it seems likely that another quarterback will transfer. Who might that be? Or is there a legit chance all five scholarship QBs stick around for the 2024 season? Also, are the Buckeyes looking to add an offensive tackle via the transfer portal. Will they find one? On Tuesday, The Athletic quoted several anonymous NFL scouts who say they prefer Malik Nabers over Marvin Harrison Jr. in tomorrow's NFL Draft. Heresy? Or is there something to this?

The future is so bright we gotta we (goodr) shades. We are talking quarterback and Ohio State, of course. Currently, the Buckeyes QB is an overflow talent situation and we are monitoring ... closely. On display this past weekend down the street from The Shoe at Upper Arlington High, the younger signal callers took the stage. Ohio ... QBs ... big stage ... must be time for future Buckeye Tavien St. Clair. The Class of 2025 star earned an Elite 11 invite with Bill Kurelic and other celebrities in attendance. We dive deep on QBs and a lot more with The Dean and the birthday boy - Mark Porter. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

It is NFL Draft week and that is cause for celebration. It will be a light year for Ohio State's standards with perhaps just five Buckeyes hearing their names called this week. However, that is perfectly fine with us because it means a bunch of guys came back who would have at least been second-day (second-third round) picks. Speaking of all those guys coming back, just how many OSU players will be drafted next year? If we set the over/under at 12.5, which way are you rolling? Also, center Felix Okpara is taking his basketball and going ... well ... not home. But he has decided Ohio State will no longer be his home as he entered the transfer portal yesterday. What led up to this? What do we think of the job that Jake Diebler is doing overall thus far? We close the show talking about Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. The more film we watch of him, the more impressed we are with his pocket presence. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Monday 5ish.

What did we learn about Ohio State's 2024 football team during spring ball? How do we feel about the Buckeyes heading into this season? Also, the transfer portal has been very quiet for OSU thus far. With heavy emphasis on the last two words of the previous sentence. Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that in detail on the Friday 5ish.

It used to be a real easy answer. The question: Which state produces the best Division I football talent? It was always Florida, California and Texas. And those states still produce a ton of talent. But right now the state boasting the BEST talent is Georgia. And wouldn't ya know, Ohio State is doing work in the Bulldogs' backyard. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to dive deep on four elite Georgians that visited Ohio State this past weekend and each left with an offer (if they didn't have one already). Also, in honor of Devin Sanchez officially shutting down his recruitment, we show you why it's worth being totally geeked about the Houston, Texas native. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State's spring game is tomorrow (noon ET; FOX) and we were very pleased to learn that after a brief "thudding-up" format to begin the scrimmage, that the Buckeyes will actually be tackling. Yes, real football! Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss that, plus: * Will Ohio State look to add players via the transfer portal when the window opens on Monday? * Is it a safe bet that the Buckeyes will lose a handful of scholarship players to the portal? * Is anyone else surprised that we're sitting here at the end of spring ball and we're having legit conversations about whether true freshman Julian Sayin is going to be the starting quarterback this year? We're not "sayin" he's going to be the starter, but just the fact that it is a serious discussion is something we did not see coming when spring ball kicked off.

bros, the Democrats dont care of your needs. Travesty to believe we'd ever see OSU not in the fall.

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.
