Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

We asked and you answered: What is your biggest concern for the 2016 Ohio State Buckeyes? Is it the offensive line? What were other popular choices? Bucknuts contributor Jonah Booker joins host Dave Biddle for that and more.

You watched the spring game. We watched the spring game.

There's a lot of recruiting to talk about, so of course we bring in the Dean of Ohio State Football Recruiting, Bill Kurelic. What's the latest on Najee Harris, Trevon Grimes, Tate Martell, Haskell Garrett, Danny Clark and Todd Sibley? You came to the right place.

Today's Bucknuts Morning 20 (yes, it's a long one) with Matt Baxendell and host Dave Biddle focuses on the Todd Sibley situation, Danny Clark, plus which Ohio State players to watch at tomorrow's spring game.

The recruit guest list for your Ohio State Buckeyes is long and impressive as the spring game readies its red carpet.

Today, we bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong for his usual weekly visit to talk Najee Harris, Donovan Peoples-Jones, Jackson Carman and so much more.

Come along for the ride ... 

Will Ohio State get 100,000 fans for its spring game? That's Urban Meyer's goal. Bucknuts columnist Brandon Castel joins host Dave Biddle to discuss that, what to look for from the Buckeyes' offense and defense during the spring game, plus some new additions to Ohio State's basketball program.

Are you ready to see the future?

We are.

The inimitable Duane Long joins me as we each dole out three predictions for the football season sure to make your head spin.

A defensive end will leave early and be a first round pick?

The offensive line is better than the natty champ group?

Ohio State in its first-ever Peach Bowl?

J.T. Barrett's long-term future in Columbus?

There is a lot more and we had a lot of fun doing this so we hope you enjoy it!

Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen give their thoughts on the heartbreaking murder of former Ohio State and New Orleans Saints star Will Smith and the spineless comments of the defense attorney that's involved in the case. Also, Urban Meyer will be interviewed at 11 am today. What are we most curious to hear about? We also mix in some OSU basketball discussion with two coaches leaving the program. And what's the absolute latest with point guard recruit Markell Johnson?

What Ohio State player was called "cornbread thick" by our Jonah Booker? Plus, we chat about Tracy Sprinkle, Tim Beck, J.T. Barrett and much more on the Friday extravaganza.

Yes, it is early.

Yes, National Signing Day is a distant sight on the horizon.

But your Buckeyes are handling their business in dominant fashion thus far.

In fact, the lead is so vast we had to bring in 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong to put everything in perspective.

Can another program catch Ohio State when it comes to recruiting the Class of 2017?

Is it Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State ... then the rest of world?

We break it all down ...
