Due to extreme popular demand, Gee Scott Sr. is back as our guest on the Morning 5. Mr. Scott answers questions that were posed to him by Bucknuts subscribers, and many of the questions have to deal with name, image and likeness. Gee has what he considers an "unpopular opinion" on NIL. But is it actually unpopular? You be the judge. Mr. Scott also addresses the recruitment of J.T. Tuimoloau, tells you things you didn't know about OSU offensive coordinator/TE coach Kevin Wilson, how the move to tight end is going for his son, Gee Scott Jr., and much more.All of that and more is coming your way on a 40-minute edition of the Wednesday 5ish.

To say we are on commitment watch would be an understatement. At this point, sleeping without one eye open would be just fine.But we can't do that. Sleep does not matter as much as being ready for what would be the biggest commitment since ... well, it's a long time.Duane Long is here to talk about - among many things - the wait for J.T. Tuimoloau's announcement on where he'll attend college.We will also put an incredible recruiting weekend - month? - into perspective as we discuss who Ohio State charmed most.As an incredible June for recruiting nears completion, we get you set for the rest of the summer.Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio's legislature could be dropping the ball. Ryan Day and Co. would not let such a thing happen when it comes to June recruiting.Our Steve Helwagen is here to make sense of it all. * Name, image and likeness? Ohio had it licked ... until it didn't.* June's visitor list has been nothing short of sensational. Who impressed Steve the most?* The nation had a laugh at Khaki Jim's expense yesterday. Was calling out Ohio State's secondary also comical?Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Let's be real: It's Ohio State vs. Alabama.Sure, there are other college football powers. But these two (in our humble opinion) currently stand alone (sorry, Dabo). The weekend ahead is further proof. The list of visitors headed for Columbus and Tuscaloosa are star-studded to say the least. Given so many elite prospects in question will come down to an Ohio State-Alabama decision, it's clear how weighty this weekend is.247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to preview both talent gatherings and who to watch. It's must-listen stuff. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State added a running back to the mix the staff loved more than most. There were questions about the commitment. Why not a more highly-rated prospect?Well, things worked out for Ezekiel Elliott and Ohio State, we'd say. Is it deja vu all over again? Very possibly. The People's Champ - Matt Baxendell - joins to discuss the addition of running back Dallan Hayden after his visit yesterday. Let's just say we think the Buckeyes know a little something here. We also have an aside on Zeke for you Fantasy Football enthusiasts. Then there is Brenan Vernon. The Mentor native has been on the radar it seems like since he was in elementary school but another suitor is running hot. What gives?We finish with a look at Palaie Gatoetoe joining the fold and what it means for current linebackers on the roster. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Roll, roll, roll your red carpet. That's been Ohio State's mode this month.

June has offered up some big recruiting weekends. But none was more impactful than the last 72 hours or so. J.T. Tuimoloau was here. Perhaps you've heard. Dallan Hayden was here. Perhaps you've seen the Crystal Balls. Kojo Antwi was here. Perhaps you'd like an update on whether Ohio State made up ground.Perhaps you'd like the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting to get your week started with some quality info.Good ... because Bill Kurelic is here with the absolute latest on all three top-of-the-board targets for the Buckeyes as well offering up some kudos for future Ohio State standout C.J. Hicks.ALSO: Is USC transfer linebacker target Palaie Gatoeote actually enrolled at Ohio State?Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong galavants across this fine nation seeing the best college football prospects. This past weekend was no different. Wiltfong attended Under Armour's Future 50 gathering at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.Ohioans C.J. Hicks and Gabe Powers were there and showed their stuff. But so did several other potential Buckeyes, including one commitment Wiltfong claims we need to keep a keen eye on. Also tune in to hear the latest on elite safety prospect Zion Branch.We also discussed the weekend ahead, which will feature expected visitors Dallan Hayden - who Wiltfong has Crystal Balled to Ohio State - and Kojo Antwi. How could the latter's visit affect the recruitment of Landon Samson.Wiltfong has the answer(s).Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State has hosted a riveting talent show since June 1. Once recruits were again allowed to hit campus, Columbus has been abuzz with elite visitors. Never straying from the hive, our Bill Kurelic has set up shop at the WHAC. The Dean of Ohio State Recruiting continues to deliver the goods.This morning's BM5 is no different.The Dean let's you know what happened, what's happening and what will happen.

The guest list has read like a who's who of college prospects. June is only halfway complete and the Buckeyes have hosted enough recruits for an entire season. The results have been promising. Could a run of commitments be on tap?Duane Long is here to discuss the many elite prospects - see Texas, Florida natives - that have Ohio State at the top of their list after seeing Columbus up close. We also get into a 5-star Texas native Rueben Owens - that is visiting today. Check out Mark Porter's review of Owens here.Also: Could one of the best Ohio defensive prospects in recent memory land with his brother in South Bend?Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

It is June 14 and Ohio State's 2021 football season will be here before we know it. On today's show, Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle give 14 predictions about the Buckeyes' season. Here is just a taste of some of the items on the agenda:* What will the Buckeyes' 2021 regular-season record be?* Will they make the College Football Playoff and win the national championship?* Who will lead OSU in rushing and receiving yards?* Who will lead the Silver Bullets in tackles, sacks and interceptions?* What will Michigan's record be?All of that and more is coming your way on an extended version of the Monday 5ish.

We thought the College Football Playoff would likely expand from four teams to eight teams eventually. However, the proposal from Thursday takes it one step further. Could the CFP expand to 12 teams and what would be the pros and cons of that? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus:* What's the latest on linebacker transfer Palaie Gaoteote?* What's the latest on J.T. Tuimoloau?* JBook is impressed with Kyle McCord's attitude. He explains why.All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

You asked and he's here to answer. That's right, 247Sports Director of Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, drops by for his usual Thursday visit and answers questions that were posed to him on Ohio State football recruiting on The Front Row message board from Bucknuts subscribers. The Fong joins Dave Biddle -- who is pinch-hitting for Dan Rubin -- and a tremendous amount of ground is covered. You will not want to miss this edition of the Thursday 5ish.

Ohio State had the No. 1 recruting class in the country for 2022 for a while, then they didn't, and now they do again. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss that, plus:* The Buckeyes getting their most-recent commit, high 4-star WR Kaleb Brown from Chicago.* Is 4-star DE Gabriel Harris also on track to be a Buckeye after decommiting from Florida State?* How is Bax feeling about the Buckeyes' chances to land 5-star OL Zach Rice?* Is 4-star OL Aamil Wagner basically a lock for OSU, or no?* Rutgers is ranked No. 5 in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Wait, in the Big Ten? No, in the country.All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Ohio State added a wide receiver to the Class of 2022 on Monday as Kaleb Brown made an expected commitment. But that wasn't the only news of the day. Florida State commitment Gabriel Harris - who visited Columbus last week - decommitted from the Seminoles and had an Ohio State offer shortly thereafter. You do the math.Duane Long is here and we also tackled a number of questions submitted on the Front Row:* Could Ohio State add two elite safeties - Zion Branch and Xavier Nwankpa - to the same class?* Are we overlooking any future B1G Buckeyes?* Which Class of 2022 prospect still on the board tops Duane's wish list?All that and more coming at ya.
