It was a banner weekend for Ohio State as the Buckeyes landed offensive tackle Josh Simmons and defensive back Lorenzo Styles from the transfer portal, and received a commitment from 2024 running back recruit Jordan Lyle. Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that and more on today's show, including whether Luke Wypler -- who fell to the sixth round of the NFL Draft -- received bad advice before making his decision to turn pro.All of that and much more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books and three Ohio State players were selected. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was taken No. 2 overall by the Houston Texans, left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. came off the board at No. 6 to the Arizona Cardinals, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected No. 20 overall by the Seattle Seahawks.Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to react to last night's developments and to look ahead to where Buckeyes might be taken tonight and tomorrow.Also, will OSU secure a commitment from offensive tackle transfer Josh Simmons who begins his official visit today?

Is Ohio State about to land a quality offensive tackle from the portal? As our Bill Kurelic reported yesterday, OT Josh Simmons from San Diego State will make an official visit to OSU beginning this Friday and Simmons told Kurelic he has "high interest" in the Buckeyes. The 6-foot-6, 305-pound Simmons is one of the top players available in the portal and has three seasons of eligibility remaining.On today's show, Dave Biddle discusses the possibility of landing Simmons and what that would mean for the Buckeyes. Also, rumors are flying that Ohio State could be the landing spot for Notre Dame transfer Lorenzo Styles Jr., who is switching positions from wide receiver to defensive back. Furthermore, are there any concerns about OSU being a few over the scholarship limit? Or are we not concerned in the least? (Hint: Think latter.)All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Who's in? Who's out? Just another day on the Ohio State beat dealing with the transfer portal.Have things changed because of all the roster upheaval? Not as much with Ohio State football and that's a good thing.Pat Murphy is here to talk all things transfer portal as Ohio State's football and basketball squads navigate the new landscape.And ... NFL Draft chatter? Of course. Which Buckeye is rising in his accountant's eyes? Is it only one?Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

We are just three days away from the NFL Draft and two of the biggest fans of the event are Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin. On today's show, Dave and Dan make predictions of where the players from Ohio State will be selected in this week's draft (as far as what round and what part of the round). Also, are we buying that the S2 cognition test -- which is suddenly all the rage -- is a good tool to measure how quarterbacks might fare in the NFL? Also, are we buying that C.J. Stroud's performance on the test is one of the reasons he is supposedly falling? Or is this a classic smokescreen from a team (or teams, plural) hoping Stroud will fall to them?All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Patrick Murphy is back with another edition of the Bucknuts Happy Hour podcast and is joined by Timmy Hall from 97.1 The Fan.

On the Friday 5ish, Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss the main takeaways from last night's Spring Festival that was hosted by THE Foundation and raised a lot of money for Ohio State's NIL efforts.

Stroud and other quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL Draft?Looking at the 2023 Buckeyes, has Kyle McCord locked up the starting job, or could Devin Brown steal it from him during camp?We close the show talking OSU football recruiting, including what JBook is hearing about 5-star DE Dylan Stewart.All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

With Ohio State's spring game in the rear view mirror, let's look at the high points and low points from the spring game -- and the spring overall -- and what it means for the Buckeyes' 2023 season. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss several topics, including:* Kyle McCord and OSU's quarterback situation. Can Devin Brown steal the job in camp? Or is McCord definitely going to be the starter, even after a shaky performance at the spring game?* Second-year defensive players C.J. Hicks, Kenyatta Jackson and Sonny Styles shined on Saturday and throughout the spring. What will their roles be this fall for Jim Knowles' defense?* Will OSU land an offensive tackle in the transfer portal? What are thoughts on the current O-linemen on the team?* The Buckeyes landed two more commitments in their 2024 class on Saturday -- 4-star tight end Max LeBlanc and 3-star running back Sam Williams-Dixon. Ohio State has 12 commits and has the No. 2 class in the country. This is shaping up to be a huge and excellent cl
