Who's next? Who's not? Who might be? 

Recruiting is ... uhhh ... different these days. All 'Nutters are well aware how much has changed. 

But Ohio State keeps going after elite prospects so we will continue to chronicle that effort ... no matter what form it takes.

Bill Kurelic is The Dean.

Mark Porter is The Grand Poobah.

Years of hard work was performed to garner such monikers.

Can you be still basking in the glow of the national championship, while simultaneously being concerned with Ohio State's recruiting efforts? Well, we would not recommend it, but we understand some Buckeye fans are nonplussed about OSU's recruiting efforts this cycle, particularly on the defensive line. Is there reason for concern, or are these fears overblown?

Also, friend of the program Connor Stalions went on an unhinged rant while responding to comments from TCU coach Sonny Dykes. We're here for the drama.

Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin tackle that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Well, it did not take long for the College Sports Commission's "NIL Go" clearinghouse to make waves.

According to the director of Utah State's collective, Dalton Forsythe, "nearly 100 percent of collective-backed NIL deals are being denied, regardless of size or structure. The College Sports Commission has taken the position that collectives cannot serve a 'valid business purpose' — a standard that was never clearly communicated before implementation."

On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss this situation and what might be coming down the pike. If an athlete's NIL deal is rejected -- and he challenges that ruling in a court of law -- the athlete would likely prevail, right? Or does the House settlement actually have teeth, allowing the clearinghouse to reject any and all deals from collectives?

We also discuss how much Ohio State will miss Will Howard this season at quarterback -- particularly his ability in the RPO game and his leadership -- and much more. That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
