Bucknuts contributor Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle to discuss that, Dwayne Haskins likely choosing Ohio State, the latest on Jordan Fuller, and some on Ohio State basketball.

Are the Buckeyes about to add their quarterback of the future?

It's quite possible and we brought in Duane Long to wax poetic and address the possibility of Ohio State adding Class of 2016 standout signal caller Dwayne Haskins.

Duane weighs in with the three prospects he would take over any others.

Can Ohio State handle it? 

Are there now tremendous concerns at positions like wide receiver and safety?

We bring in Duane Long for answers and opinions ... 

The mass exodus has commenced. But how many early-entry players will Ohio State lose exactly? Could Jalin Marshall elect to return?

Bucknuts contributor Jonah Booker stops by to discuss that, whether Tyvis Powell made the right call to leave early, the sudden rise of this season's Ohio State basketball team and more.
