Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

Ohio State enters spring practice with an almost unprecedented amount of depth in its running back room for 2023. So how can the Buckeyes take advantage of the different skill sets in that room?

Justin Whitlatch is one of the scheme gurus at BuckeyeHuddle.com, and has some thoughts.

In this episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, you'll hear Justin break down some interesting ideas on that and more.

Plus, the Ohio State men's basketball team finally saw its remarkable run through the Big Ten Tournament come to an end on Saturday at the hands of Purdue. What's next for Chris Holtmann's team? We'll discuss that as well.

The Ohio State men's basketball team went 49 days with just one Big Ten win during the regular season. They've now won three games in less than 49 hours during the Big Ten Tournament.

Chris Holtmann's team knocked off Michigan State, 68-58 on Friday afternoon to advance to the semifinals. They are the lowest seed in conference history to reach the weekend.

And Friday's upset win was even more unlikely because the Buckeyes did it without freshman standout Brice Sensabaugh.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down Ohio State's unlikely run, and how they've turned things around so suddenly.

Marc Givler of BuckeyeHuddle.com just got back from scouting some of the nation's top prospects in person. He joins host Tom Orr to discuss three of them who really stood out - all of whom are visiting Columbus this spring.

• Is Air Noland shaping up to be the front-runner for the Buckeyes' 2024 quarterback recruit?
• With David Sanders not only considered the best offensive lineman in the 2025 class but possibly also the top player overall, can Ohio State turn a spring visit into a real chance to sign him?
• And what makes London Merritt such an intriguing fit for the Buckeyes' defensive front as he prepares to visit OSU this weekend?

When USC and UCLA join the Big Ten in 2024, the conference will unveil a new scheduling format. The current structure with two divisions will likely be a thing of the past, replaced by three protected annual opponents and a rotating schedule of every other conference team.

And depending on how the Big Ten decides to do that, it could have a major impact on how frequently the Buckeyes win the conference and earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss three different scheduling models, and how they could impact the Buckeyes moving forward.

CJ Stroud accomplished a lot as Ohio State's quarterback, breaking records, winning the Rose Bowl, and reaching the College Football Playoff. But when he met with the media at the NFL Draft Combine on Friday, he said he was close to accomplishing so much more.
