Bucknuts Morning 5

Ohio State has an excellent roster overall entering the 2022 season. However, there are some possible question marks, such as depth on the offensive line, and the overall talent at linebacker. The Buckeyes' season could rest on how the O-line and LBs play. The good news for OSU is there is reason for optimism regarding both units, and that's one of the many things Dave Biddle discusses on today's show.Specifically, how does the second-team offensive line look and could any of those guys be good starters if one of the current starters goes down with an injury?At linebacker, defensive coordinator Jim Knowles said on Tuesday that fourth-year juniors Steele Chambers and Tommy Eichenberg have "solidified things at linebacker" for the Buckeyes. He also had nice things to say about Cody Simon, Teradja Mitchell, Chip Trayanum and C.J. Hicks.One thing that is not being talked about enough is OSU's lack of depth at cornerback. They only have six scholarship corners on the roster (not counting kicker/corner Jake Seibert

Ohio State has five Class of 2023 commitments from Florida ... currently. In the Class of 2024, the Buckeyes have offered 19 Floridians - most of any state (just 5 in Ohio).But we all know Florida is its own animal when it comes to recruiting. Well, we brought in the best today - 247Sports Southeast Recruiting Analyst Andrew Ivins - to dive deep on all things Florida recruiting. The Fort Lauderdale-based info machine knows these recruits better than anyone in the business, which is readily apparent.We hit all the names - Dijon Johnson, Carnell Tate, Brandon Inniss, Bryson Rodgers, Cedrick Hawkins, Mark Fletcher, Jeremiah Smith, Stacy Gage, Charles Lester, JoJo Trader and we even delved into some Georgia standouts (Jelani Thurman and Kayin Lee).Ivins also waxes poetic on why Florida recruits are different from all the others and it's not the last visit but the last commitment you want. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!What's next for the Buckeyes?

What's the famous saying?"You can't win them all."There have been times on the recruiting trail we thought that did not apply to the Buckeyes. It felt like it was commitment after commitment. But ... apparently ... "You can't win them all."While Ohio State added elite tight end Jelani Thurman over the weekend the past few days have seen Tackett Curtis and Justice Haynes commit elsewhere. Is this a trend?
