Ohio State will sign one of the top-3 recruiting classes in the country today and that is of course good news for the Buckeyes. However, are there enough quality linemen in the class? Speaking of quality linemen, the No. 4 DL in the nation, Amaris Williams, will announce his decision this afternoon. Will it be OSU or Auburn? Also, will the Buckeyes sign all of their commits, or might one of them (or more) flip to another program? Right before the show, news broke that Steve Wiltfong put in a Crystal Ball pick for Eddrick Houston to flip from OSU to Alabama. Not the news we wanted to hear to begin the day.Furthermore, the media is meeting with Ryan Day today at noon to discuss the Buckeyes' recruiting class and more.Dave Biddle flies solo on the Wednesday 5ish to talk Ohio State recruiting, the biggest topics we're curious to hear Day address and much more.

It is a quarterback-themed version of the show as Dan Rubin joins Dave Biddle. What do we expect from Devin Brown in the Cotton Bowl against Missouri? Who do we think will be the Buckeyes' starting QB in 2024? Will it be Brown? Lincoln Kienholz? Air Noland? Might Ryan Day take another look in the portal for a quarterback if Brown (and/or Kienholz) does not play well in the bowl game?Also, former OSU quarterback Kyle McCord has landed at Syracuse. Are we surprised that a bigger program did not gobble up McCord, or does this seem about right?Also, are the Buckeyes about to see some of their 2024 commits get flipped to other programs? Or is there no fire to go along with that smoke?All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

So many moving parts, so little time. Key Ohio State veterans met with the media yesterday and made their Cotton Bowl intentions known. It's going to be a surprisingly robust Buckeyes roster that faces off with Missouri. Devin Brown certainly let us know how he feels about being Ohio State's QB. Mark Porter and Bill Kurelic are here to discuss that and a litany of other topics including transfer portal chatter, recruiting hits and misses and what really went down at Glenville earlier this week.Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Patrick Murphy is back with another edition of the Happy Hour, with this episode focusing on recruiting, the transfer portal and the latest with the 2023 team.

It sure felt like the changing of the guard when quarterback Devin Brown was one of Ohio State's players that were made available to the media on Tuesday. Brown is in line to start the Cotton Bowl against Missouri and if he plays well, will likely be the favorite to be the Buckeyes' QB1 in 2024.Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle talk about Brown taking the reins and what to expect from him. Also, it looks like several OSU players that people thought might opt out of the bowl game will actually play against Mizzou.All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
