Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Who will be Ohio State's starting wide receivers in 2016? How high will Braxton Miller be drafted? How do OSU beat writers, in general, view recruiting and signing day? Also, Ohio State's basketball team picked up a key road win in overtime last night over Illinois. Bucknuts columnist Brandon Castel joins host Dave Biddle for all of that and more.

We are less than a week away from the Class of 2016 putting pen to paper.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong makes his usual Thursday appearance and his last before National Signing Day on Wednesday.

What does Wiltfong think of the class?

Will Jordan Fuller and Damar Hamlin be part of the group when all is said and done?

We break it all down on the BM5ish .

We're exactly one week from signing day. Will Ohio State land Jordan Fuller, Malik Harrison and Jamar King to close out its 2016 class? Duane Long joins host Dave Biddle to discuss all of that and more.

Down the stretch they come!

The recruiting field as narrowed but that doesn't mean Ohio State is slowing up. There are several spots left in the Class of 2016 and the staff is working hard to get the right dudes in here.

Who better to get you ready for the next seven days than the Dean himself - our very own Bill Kurelic?

We go into detail on several prospects:

Sam Bruce

Malik Harrison

Jamar King

Jordan Fuller

Get informed with the Dean!

Wide receiver recruit Sam Bruce might not have a spot available in Ohio State's 2016 class. One reason is WR Corey Smith is expected to be granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. Alex Gleitman drops by to discuss that, the commitment of cornerback Rodjay Burns, and some thoughts on Ohio State's basketball team hosting Penn State tonight.

Rashard Lawrence will announce today. Will he pick Ohio State or LSU? Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, Jamar King, Malik Harrison, Jordan Fuller, Sam Bruce and Ohio State basketball.

What happened? How have the Buckeyes gone two days without a commitment?

We kid, we kid.

We also bring in Steve Wiltfong today to put the recent commitments in perspective and let you know what could be coming down the stretch as we steam towards National Signing Day on Feb. 3.

We go in-depth with 247Sports' Director of Recruiting on Sam Bruce, Rashard Lawrence, Jamar King, Carlos Becker and a host of others that could be Buckeyes before long.

It may be frigid in Columbus but it remains great fireworks weather.

We're exactly two weeks away from signing day and Alex Gleitman drops by to tell you everything you need to know as a Buckeye fan. How will Ohio State close out this class? What's the latest with defensive tackles Rashard Lawrence and Jamar King?

You know how Bill Kurelic chooses his words carefully? Well, we caught him on a good day. Even the Dean thinks the Buckeyes could be in for a monumental recruiting day. We break it all down, including Kurelic's thoughts on Binjimen Victor, Keandre Jones, Dwayne Haskins, Jamar King and more. This is a BM5 you absolutely don't want to miss.

There was big news last night as Greg Studwara was hired as Ohio State's offensive line coach. Ed Warinner will remain as offensive coordinator and will also be the tight ends coach now. Tim Hinton moves to a support staff role where he replaces Greg Gillum. Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, give way-too-early predictions for Ohio State's 2016 football season, talk about quarterback recruit Dwayne Haskins and more.
