Bucknuts Morning 5

Ohio State has been fortunate to attract some great receivers in its storied history. Just last season, the Buckeyes added a 5-star from Texas in Garrett Wilson. So what about an encore? Oh, there is one coming alright. The Buckeyes already have commitments from Gee Scott and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. For some programs, two top 30 wide receivers would be cause for celebration. Here? Not so much. Crystal Balls are rolling in avalanche fashion for Julian Fleming to become a member of the Scarlet and Gray. Fleiming is the nation's No. 1 wide receiver. But ... what if there was even more wide receiver help on the way? It sounds almost like too much, right? Well, it's not and the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting - Bill Kurelic - is here to tell you why. Kurelic - filling in for an ailing Duane Long - also goes into detail on Mitchell Melton, Michael Carmody and how Michigan's basketball program just took a direct shot to the stones.

What is the biggest question on Ohio State's defense? Middle linebacker. At least, according to The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, who joins Dave Biddle for today's show. But Bax likely isn't alone. Almost every OSU fan would say the same thing when asked about the defense. Will the starter be Tuf Borland, Teradja Mitchell or Baron Browning? Will there be a rotation? Also on the docket: * A look at the Buckeyes' depth and projected starters on the offensive line. * Thoughts on Matthew Baldwin deciding to join TCU's program.

We all knew Ryan Day wouldn't be just like Urban Meyer. But is the new boss taking things to the extreme? Yes, Day is known for his offensive wizardry. But he is aware there is another side of the ball ... right? Right? Ohio State's current Class of 2020 haul has eight members - seven on offense, one on defense. And the defensive player? He's basically and Urban Meyer holdover recruit. What gives? We delve into that and other recruiting intrigue with the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting Bill Kurelic, who steps in for the otherwise disposed Duane Long. Spend 5ish with us this a.m.!

Who is a young, inexperienced player on each side of the ball that Ohio State fans should keep a close eye on this year? That is one of the topics of conversation on The Joshua Perry Show today. Also on the docket: * What are the Buckeyes doing during this time of the year? * Why is Mickey Marotti so good at his craft? * Will Urban Meyer coach again? All of that and more is coming at you on The Joshua Perry Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You know it is the offseason when this is the main topic of conversation on the show, but let's have at it: Will Urban Meyer coach again? It seems to be a relatively hot topic not just in Buckeye circles, but among college football fans in general. Would Meyer coach at USC? Or another program? And why should you care? Because he would likely take a couple of very important men with him: Mickey Marotti (who just signed a new contract at Ohio State, but there would be ways to get out of it) and Mark Pantoni. What if Ryan Day becomes a megastar at Ohio State, and then leaves to be an NFL head coach in a few years? Could Meyer actually return to OSU to be the Buckeyes' coach one day? [This is where we remind you again it's the offseason.] Also, what are thoughts on the job Day is doing thus far? We won't really know how to grade him until the 2019 season plays out, but what do we think thus far? And what is the latest on Ohio State basketball recruiting for the 2020 class? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle for all

What will Ohio State's 12-game regular-season record be in 2019 in Ryan Day's first full season as head coach? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle on today's show to answer that question, plus: * What are JBook's biggest concerns offensively and defensively for the Buckeyes this year? * What does he feel best about as he analyzes this roster on both sides of the ball? * JBook played college football at Ohio University, the type of school that does not make much money off its football program (some schools even lose money on football). Does JBook agree with Joshua Perry that all FBS college football players should get paid? All of that and more is coming at you on the Friday extravaganza. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan Day has yet to lead the Buckeyes into Ohio Stadium as the 'real' head coach. A three-game interim showing when you know the incumbent Rock Star is coming back to the stage is one thing.  Now it's Day's show. This much Day has already proven beyond the shadow of a doubt: The guy can coach and RECRUIT quarterbacks. Does this give Ohio State a real advantage going forward as the recruiting scene for quarterbacks is more chaotic now than it has ever been? We bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to discuss that and much more. Including: Who is really Ohio State's recruiting rival out on the trail? Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

Ohio State landed four-star quarterback Kyle McCord on Tuesday, and he hails from Philadelphia. The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss McCord's decision to become a Buckeye. And Bax thinks Penn State fans should be salty about losing out on McCord. It is a quarterback-themed show as we also delve into what to expect from Gunnar Hoak, Justin Fields and more.

Yes, it is technically the offseason. But this is Ohio State football. Is there really an offseason? Judging by the news generated in the last seven days since Duane Long was here on the BM5, there is nothing 'off' about it. The Buckeyes quarterback carousel has spun itself into a new rotation. Gunnar Hoak is back home after three years in Kentucky. What type of role will he have? There was also this little talent acquisition event called the NFL Draft. Think New Year's Eve in NYC meets Nashville.  Nine Buckeyes were selected.  Who landed in the best spot?  All that and more with Duane today so spend 5ish with us!  Learn more about your ad choices.

It is a divisive topic, but one we are going to delve deep into on The Joshua Perry Show today. Should college football players get paid? And before you say, "They already get paid. They get a full-ride scholarship, plus a cost-of-attendance stipend on top of that." Yes, everyone knows that. The question is should get they paid a lot more than they currently do, considering the money that college football generates? If they did get paid a lot more, how would it work? Would starters get paid more than fourth-teamers? Would everyone get paid equally? What about the non-revenue sports? How would paying the football players be in line with Title IX regulations if you didn't pay the non-revenue athletes? Joshua and Dave Biddle have about a 24-minute discussion on the topic, so strap yourself in for a lively edition of the JP show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's show is loaded as Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle. * Is Gunnar Hoak an upgrade over Matthew Baldwin? * What are thoughts on Michael Jordan leaving early for the NFL and slipping until the very late stages of the fourth round? Would Jonah Jackson have transferred to Ohio State if Jordan returned? * What is Bank's take on OSU center Josh Myers? * We're still scratching our heads over Daniel Jones being selected over Dwayne Haskins in the NFL Draft.

Dwayne Haskins was not in the mood to be politically correct after falling to pick No. 15 of the first round of the NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins Thursday night. Haskins' exact words were: "I'm more motivated than ever. Now I've got an even bigger chip on my shoulder. The league done messed up." And it wasn't just that Haskins slipped to the middle part of the round. It is that the New York Giants selected QB Daniel Jones from Duke at pick No. 6 instead of Haskins. Now, Giants GM Dave Gettleman might be the only person on the planet who would have done that, but he did it. Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss why Haskins fell in this draft. Is there something fans don't know about, or is this just the typical paralysis by analysis that we see from the NFL? But hey, the good news is Haskins became the first Big Ten quarterback to be taken in the first round since Kerry Collins from Penn State in 1995. Haskins also became the first Ohio State QB to be taken in the first round since

Colorado is known for its ski slopes and progressive laws, among other things. Offensive linemen? Not exactly the state's calling card. At least for now. Ohio State may have located a prospect that can change that. Who is it? Also: Perhaps the best linebacker in the Class of 2020 will be in Columbus for an official visit this weekend. But Mekhail Sherman is thought to be a heavy Georgia lean. Can the Buckeyes get back in front here? What are you doing July 4? You will be on Bucknuts, waiting to hear if Jutahn McClain will be a Buckeye.  We talk all of that and more with 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, who makes his usual Thursday appearance in fine fashion.

The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, got quite the reaction from readers of his Bucket of Bullets column last Sunday when he wrote about the pending transfer of quarterback Matthew Baldwin away from Ohio State. Bax joins Dave Biddle to further explain his point regarding Baldwin and why he wrote the column. Also on the docket: * What exactly led to Baldwin's transfer? It was obviously more than just about "homesickness." * What are thoughts on Gunnar Hoak leaving Kentucky? Is he definitely OSU-bound, or are people too quick to assume that? If he does pick Ohio State, what can fans expect from him? * Can Chris Chugunov get the job done for the Buckeyes if called on in 2019? All of that and more on the Wednesday extravaganza.

He was selected early in the fourth round of the 2016 draft by the Chargers. What was it like for him? * What does Perry think of the talk that Dwayne Haskins' stock is falling?
