What if Duane Long was in control of Ohio State recruiting?First, the offensive and defensive lines would be incredible.

So let's delete that aspect of it ... and just talk about who he'd take.We did just that. Sit back and enjoy.

Should college football players have the right to declare for the NFL draft, but then return to school if they so choose a few weeks later?

Does it frustrate you when Ohio State wears alternate uniforms, especially in games against Michigan and Penn State? Well, you came to the right place today because Dave Biddle is not a fan of the Buckeyes wearing alt unis and he goes into detail as to why.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day met with roughly 100 members of the Columbus business community on Thursday to discuss NIL and what the Buckeyes need to keep up with the arms race.

That's right, the $13M figure doesn't even include recruiting. It's just for the current roster.Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to give his thoughts on that, the OSU-Penn State game not being a white out for a change, and whether Marvin Harrison Jr. will go over or under 1,200 receiving yards this season.All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
