The U.S. Army All-American Bowl has again attracted the best and brightest high school football talents from around the country to its San Antonio locale.

That means there has to be a lot of future Buckeyes there. So we had to check in with 247Sports Director of Recruiting - a temporary San Antonio resident - to see how the future is shaping up.

Wiltfong has reports on Tate Martell, Chase Young, Baron Browning and the rest of the future Buckeyes in attendance as well as two that are a Saturday hat dance away from joining that crew. He also has a full rundown of Bill Kurelic's after-hours activities!

Tuesday was a good day in Buckeye Nation as news broke that Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer was adding Ryan Day as quarterbacks coach, and would likely hire Kevin Wilson as offensive coordinator.

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, what might happen with Ed Warinner and Greg Studrawa, what really happened at Indiana with Wilson, how Tim Beck keeps finding good jobs and much more.

Nope, it still hurts.

We woke up today hopeful the sting of a PlayStation Fiesta Bowl embarrassment had worn of.

It hasn't. 

But there does appear to be some movement in the WHAC. Tim Beck appears to be on the way out.

What's next for the offense?

Where should Ohio State turn?

What will it all mean for J.T. Barrett and the future of the quarterback position under Urban Meyer.

Who better to bring in on the first Tuesday of 2017 than Duane Long?

We break it all down in 5ish ... join us!

Following Ohio State's complete debacle in the Fiesta Bowl where the Buckeyes were beaten 31-0 by Clemson, one thing is clear: Changes must be made to OSU's offensive coaching staff this offseason.

What might those changes be?

Dave Biddle discusses that, players that will likely turn pro early later this month, players that have already announced they are returning to Ohio State and more.

With the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl tomorrow (and yes it feels nice to say that) between Ohio State and Clemson, who are backup players for the Buckeyes that really need to step up?

Heath Schneider aka Heater joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, plus:

* Vibes on Ohio State's confidence level.

* Who will be J.T. Barrett's replacement one day as the starting QB? Joe Burrow, Dwayne Haskins or perhaps Tate Martell?

* Predictions on OSU-Clemson.

* Paul Finebaum absolutely destroying the University of Michigan's football program and its fans.

The U.S. Army wants future Buckeyes ... for a high school all-star game.

Yes, next week is U.S. Army All-American Bowl Week, culminating with the annual game on Jan. 7 at the AlamoDome in San Antonio, Texas.

Once again, the week has a distinct Buckeye feel. Nine Buckeyes commitments and two 5-star prospects we all expect to be Buckeyes by the end of the game will be in display.

The names read like a who's who list of the high school game: Josh Myers, Shaun Wade and Chase Young on the East team; Baron Browning, Wyatt Davis, J.K. Dobbins, Haskell Garrett, Tyjon Lindsey and Tate Martell on the West team.

And we can all look forward to in-game hat dances from Darnay Holmes and Jeffrey Okudah.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong and the Dean of Ohio State Recruiting Bill Kurelic will be there all week to chronicle the future Buckeyes.

What can we expect? Wiltfong joins us today to share just that.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m.!

What stood out during Tuesday's interviews and practice for Ohio State in Phoenix, Arizona, as the Buckeyes prepare for the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl?
