Ever wonder what it would be like to be the boss at Ohio State?

Well, Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter get to play that out on our podcast today thanks to our Front Row message board. 

We asked for questions and got some great ones. The Dean and Grand Poobah took the queries in stride.

It led to a rollicking discussion before our video peek at the only Class of 2028 commitment currently pledged to the Buckeyes.

Is Ohio State ready for another season of excellence? 

Sure. But how excellent?

There are goals at Ohio State. One never changes: Conference supremacy. While last season saw Ryan Day and Co. hoist the BIGGEST possible trophy, there was no Big Ten title.

Who stands in the way of that goal this season?

Matt Baxendell is the right source for this because he's been previewing the conference weekly in his Sunday column - The Bucket of Bullets - for several weeks.

Dan Rubin subs in for Dave Biddle was tackle the season ahead in the Big Ten and much more!

With the season less than a month away, one might think our focus has gone totally away from recruiting.

Wrong!

We always have recruiting on a front burner here and today is no exception. Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to touch on the following topics:

* Three top 60 prospects remain uncommitted in the Class of 2026's Top247. Ohio State is theoretically in the mix for all three. We dive deep on Bralan Womack, Darius Gray and Savion Hiter with their commitments scheduled for later this month.

* Ohio State's season opener against visiting Texas is a prime time for the Buckeyes to entertain recruits. We peek at the burgeoning guest list while acknowledging some challenges in building attendance.

* There is 300-plus pound prospect from Texas the Buckeyes have offered that boasts Ohio ties. He also lines up as Wildcat quarterback at times. We have video prove it. Meet Jalen Brewster.

It's a big day for the Buckeyes. Practice has started. Yes, we have 'officially' begun the new season. Whether you believe it's title defense or a clean slate, it's real.

We also dive deep on:

* Ohio State's (likely) No. 1 running back target in the Class of 2027: David Gabriel Georges. We have video. We have thoughts.

* The original Werewolf has retired from the sport. We hit the way back video machine to check out high school film of the Ohioan that started the lofty moniker.
