Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

One of the most chaotic weekends in Ohio State recruiting memory ended with two new commitments, a decommitment, and more drama potentially on the way soon for the Buckeyes.

Alex Gleitman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to try to sort it all out.

- Ohio State now has its 2023 quarterback. So what are they getting in Brock Glenn?
- What made a cornerback from Georgia decide that he would be the first Buckeye commit for 2025?
- Cornerback Dijon Johnson decommitted from Ohio State's 2023 class. Can they possibly win him back?
- Both of the Buckeyes' 2023 tight end commits visited SEC programs in the last few days. Which one is a bigger threat to flip?
- Plus, a 2023 safety is set to announce his decision in two weeks. Are the Buckeyes the favorite to land Jayden Bonsu?

The last week or so has been a rough one for the Buckeyes on the recruiting trail. They’ve missed out on two of their top linebacker targets, a top defensive line target, a 5-star safety, and a top offensive tackle.

So is there something wrong? Or is this just some unlucky timing and a small bump in the road on the way to another top-5 recruiting class?

Recruiting analyst Alex Gleitman of Buckeye Huddle joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and much more.

- Is the fact that the new coaching staff hasn't been able to show on-field results holding this class back?
- Could the program be just days away from landing its 2023 quarterback?
- Plus, which young wide receiver could be on the verge of a massive breakout season?
- And are fans sleeping on just how good the offensive line could be?

Ryan Day discussed a new concept that he thinks is crucial to the Buckeyes being able to reach their goals in 2022. So what is "Competitive Stamina"?

Marcus Hartman of the Dayton Daily News joins host Tom Orr at Big Ten Media Days to discuss that and a lot more.

- What are the Buckeyes' three goals for this season?
- The unlikely person Ryan Day was with when he found out USC and UCLA were joining the Big Ten
- How CJ Stroud is different this year, and whether it means anything for the season

Big Ten Media Days always delivers some interesting storylines and bits of news in the leadup to the upcoming college football season. Tuesday in Indianapolis was no exception.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about his relationship with Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, and whether Day was the person he had in mind when he alluded to coaches who were born on third base. His answers may have helped throw just a little bit more gasoline on what is already a raging fire between the two bitter rivals.

Marcus Hartman of the Dayton Daily News joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and all of the other interesting storylines from day one of Big Ten Media Days.

Big Ten Media Days kick off Tuesday in Indianapolis. The event marks the unofficial start of the football season, and is a chance to meet with every coach and a handful of star players from each team to preview the upcoming season.

According to the league's media, there won't be much drama in Big Ten country this fall. Ohio State was a unanimous pick to win not only the East Division but the conference championship as well in the Cleveland.com preseason media poll.

Are the Buckeyes really a lock to win? Tony Gerdeman, host of the Buckeye Weekly podcast, joins host Tom Orr to answer that question and more.

- What are they hoping to learn about the future of conference realignment this week?
- Which teams are most intriguing this fall - either for good or bad reasons?
- And do OSU players really deserve to make up more than half of the league's only official honors for the East Division?

Year three of Greg Schiano's return to Rutgers marks a new era for the Scarlet Knights.

Some of the young players Schiano has signed are now going to take on a bigger role as he continues the rebuild from the Chris Ash era.

So what is it that lets Schiano succeed in Piscataway when no one else can do it? And what would actually constitute success for RU this fall?

Richie Schnyderite of TheKnightReport.net joins host Tom Orr break down this year's team, plus answer bigger-picture questions about the ceiling for this program right now, and how much things could change if the Big Ten does away with divisions and Rutgers could avoid programs like Michigan or Ohio State in the future.

Ohio State and Iowa are set to face off for the first time since 2017, but the Hawkeye team that comes to Columbus should still look familiar to Buckeye fans.

A strong and well-coached defense, paired with an offense that figures to feature the tight end? Yup. Sounds like a Kirk Ferentz team.

Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register joins host Tom Orr to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this year's Iowa team.

- With two experienced starters back, who will win the starting QB job?
- Will a young offensive line stand up to the rigors of a Big Ten schedule?
- Could this be the best defense of the Ferentz era?
- Plus, with one 5-star recruit already signed in 2022, and another in 2023, what is Iowa doing to bring in that level of talent without a big NIL collective?

In the inaugural episode of the Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning podcast, host Tom Orr is joined by Tony Gerdeman, the host of the Buckeye Weekly podcast to discuss what they learned from the release of Ohio State's 2022 roster.

- The second-year players with single-digit jersey numbers, and what that typically means
- Offensive linemen who have slimmed down
- A freshman defensive lineman who has bulked up quite a bit
