The big recruiting weekend has already paid off for Ohio State as the Buckeyes landed a pair of 2023 prospects from the state of Florida on Sunday: cornerback Dijon Johnson and wide receiver Bryson Rodgers.

Tuimoloau, plus WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka?* How will the program honor the late Dwayne Haskins?* Will there likely be overreactions on the play of backup QBs Kyle McCord and Devin Brown, both positively and negatively? Of course there will be! It's part of what makes the spring game fun!All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Has Ohio State identified its QB of the future? 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong sure thinks so.

Ohio State held its Student Appreciation Day practice on Saturday and we were able to learn a lot of interesting information. Two young players that are rising up the depth chart are true freshman linebacker C.J. Hicks and sophomore cornerback Jordan Hancock. What else stood out at the practice, most especially during the scrimmage portion? And can the Buckeyes' offense be even better this season? They were ranked No. 1 in the country last year in total offense and scoring offense. But they did struggle in one particular area.Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the Monday 5ish to discuss all of that and more.

We are happy to welcome back Brian Schottenstein and Cardale Jones to the show. Their NIL venture "The Foundation" launched this week and they are here to answer several questions about it. How can this help Ohio State? Is The Foundation just for current OSU athletes, or can it help with recruiting as well? Are there any regulations? How can boosters and fans donate? All of that and more is covered on an informative version of the Friday 5ish. [NOTE: We had trouble with Cardale's audio to begin the show, but that gets corrected a few minutes in.]

The list of recruits headed for Ohio State this weekend is spectacular. Elite Floridians lead the expected group but don't sleep on several Peach State natives.We didn't sleep on anything recruiting as Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter made their usual Thursday pod appearance.User questions were great and the answers from our guys were up to the challenge.Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
