Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

We have Ohio State football beginning in just over a month, and Shaun Wade and Wyatt Davis are both coming back to join in on the fun. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for the Friday 5ish to talk about what a great week it has been for the Buckeyes and much more.

What a relief. The Scarlet and Gray will play. Yes, our six-week sojourn through the wilderness is over. The B1G announced yesterday that football will return officially in October. How do we feel? What affect will this have on Ohio State's recruiting efforts and quest to finish with the No. 1 recruiting class in 2021? We bring on 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to bask in the glow. Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

It is a glorious day in the world of Ohio State and Big Ten football, and we are not even close to being done talking about it yet. On this emergency edition of the podcast, Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss everything that has happened so far with football back on in the Big Ten this fall, and what questions remain unanswered.

Big Ten fans have been waiting on pins and needles since the weekend to see what the conference will decide to do on the football front. Will a season begin as early as October 17th? How is it Wednesday and we still do not have an answer? What exactly is the holdup?

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for the Wednesday 5ish to give the absolute latest on whether Ohio State and the rest of the league will be playing football this fall and more.

Is today the day? Is it 72 hours away? Are we in for another 2020-style curveball? When will the B1G powers-that-be make the final call on the season?

Everyone is playing the waiting game. If the Buckeyes play, will Wyatt Davis and Shaun Wade be in Scarlet and Gray? If not, who will tussle to fill those spots? The questions persist and we aim to give you some answers. Duane Long is here to do just that.

Just when we were about ready to give up hope, it now looks like the Big Ten will have a football season that begins in October. Nothing is official yet, but a lot of positive steps happened late last week and over the weekend. We could learn as soon as today whether the league will reverse course and give its teams an opportunity to play this fall, and early enough where they can be eligible for the College Football Playoff.

But the news is not all good as star cornerback Shaun Wade has decided to turn pro. This on the heels of All-American right guard Wyatt Davis also opting out of what could be a season that begins next month.

Jonah Booker wants to know why the Big Ten can't just let teams who want to play football this fall, to play. And it's a great question. JBook joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk about that, Ryan Day's open letter to the Big Ten, JBook's vibe on what the final result will be and much more.

All of that is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

The nation's best running back has chosen his college destination but has yet to step foot on his future campus. That will change. Ohio State-bound TreVeyon Henderson is preparing a trip to Columbus and he won't be alone. It should be a future Buckeye fest. 

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to discuss that a new offer out to a Class of 2021 lineman from the next state over.

Just when we were getting our hopes up that the Big Ten would begin its football season in October, the rug has been pulled from underneath us again. Is there still any chance the conference will get its act together? Do they realize they are on the verge of the biggest disaster in sports history if they do not reverse course? Which schools want to play and which ones do not?

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle for the Wednesday 5ish to unpack all of that and more.

Our quest for clarity continues. Will it come this week?

Read: It better.

Duane Long is here to talk the persistence of B1G whackiness and possible clarity ahead before we break down two big-time prospects on Ohio State's recruiting radar: Blake Miller and Malaki Hamrick.
