Bucknuts Morning 5

Preseason camp begins for Ohio State Thursday morning and we have questions. When will head coach Ryan Day name his starting quarterback? What does the competition look like at right guard? What about WILL linebacker? Will the punter be Aussie Nick McLarty or Buffalo transfer Anthony Venneri? Who will be the primary kickoff and punt returners? Is everyone healthy entering camp? How will the offense be different under the direction of Chip Kelly? Those are some of the questions that Dave Biddle will address on today's show. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

The Class of 2025 is nearly complete. Yes, we said 'nearly.' Our Bill Kurelic and 247Sports national recruiting scribe Tom Loy recently doled out their 'Class Superlatives' for Ohio State's haul. Superlatives were broken down into five categories: Top prospect; Prospect most likely to make early impact; Most underrated; Top targets remaining; Best recruiter. Bill and Mark Porter reviewed and provided detail on the choices and also took a litany of questions from our live viewers. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Not a lot of true freshmen are expected to play big roles for Ohio State in 2024, but there are definitely some that will see the field. The list of course begins with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who appears to be in line to start from day one. What about other than him? How big of a role will running back James Peoples have? What about defensive end Eddrick Houston? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle do a deep dive on that, take questions from our live audience and more. All of that is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

We opened the floor for questions from our Bucknuts subscribers and they delivered. On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle will discuss the following: * Did the NCAA mess up NIL? Can anything be done about it? * What statistical numbers does Will Howard have to hit this year for the Buckeyes to achieve their goals? By the way, do you know how many rushing yards Kyle McCord had last year? It's less than you had. For real. * Is Sonny Styles now the favorite to start at the WILL linebacker spot? * On the recruiting front, what are the latest vibes with David Sanders Jr.? And how concerned are we that Na'eem Offord is potentially still looking around? All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Jarquez Carter is ready to make his call. The Class of 2025 defensive tackle from Newberry, Fla., will announce his college choice on Thursday. If Carter chooses Ohio State over Miami (Fla.), Florida and several others, it would give the Buckeyes six defensive linemen in this cycle. We (would) love that. Carter is not the lone Ohio State target ready to pick a school. Trey McNutt is ready. Will Conroy is ready not to go to Ohio State. The Buckeyes are also chasing several prospects in SEC territory.  Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to provide clarity. It's what they do. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Unfortunately, Ohio State will likely be without third-year sophomore running back T.C. Caffey this season due to a knee injury, per multiple sources. The Buckeyes have an excellent 1-2 punch at tailback with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins, but there is a lack of depth behind them. The only other two scholarship RBs on the roster are true freshmen James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon. What do we expect out of Peoples and Williams-Dixon this season? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * If any of the top four wide receivers go down this year, who would be the next man up? Bryson Rodgers? Jayden Ballard? Mylan Graham? * What is JBook's vibe on the upcoming announcements of Vernell Brown III and David Sanders Jr? * Any concerns that one or more of OSU's current 2025 verbal commits could flip? Bill Kurelic had the scoop on the site this morning and we'll get into that. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State is streaking towards the No. 1 overall class in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Guess who's making a serious run at the same crown? Them Ducks. We also have two Ohioans to discuss - Trey McNutt and Will Conroy. Will that duo need to adjust to the Western time zone for college? And invest in galoshes? It's possible. Oregon is not only predicated to be chief competition for B1G on-field supremacy, Dan Lanning and Co. are recruiting with a purpose (and Nike backing, let's be honest). We dive deep on that emerging threat and so much more with Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Now we know when the nation's No. 1 offensive lineman will announce where he will be playing college football. David Sanders Jr. released his final four of Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia and Nebraska on Sunday, and added that he will make his choice public on Aug. 17. Exactly two weeks from the Buckeyes' season-opener against Akron. Many feel this is a two-horse race between OSU and Tennessee. What are the vibes from the Buckeyes' perspective? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus: * If Sanders does not select Ohio State, where will the Buckeyes turn in OL recruiting? * Saturday was a big day for OSU on the recruiting trail as James Laurinaitis landed 5-star linebacker Riley Pettijohn. The nation's No. 1 class for 2025 just keeps getting better. * Plus, we discuss the 2024 team, field questions from our live audience and more. All of that is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
