What a 24-hour gauntlet that was. 
Ohio State emerged from the first day of the Early Signing Period with the nation's No. 4 overall class. It's a historic class for linebackers ... but is missing a certain cornerback. Where to from here because this class is not done.
Also, Ryan Day met with the media yesterday afternoon to touch on the '22 class, Rose Bowl prep and other offseason tribulations. 
Oh yeah ... Urban Meyer got fired last night. 
We bring in Bill Kurelic and Steve Helwagen to address the latest on several fronts.

Analyzing Buckeyes' QBs | OSU has inside track with 4-star OT?

Ohio State has not been one of the schools that has gone all in on the transfer portal. Under Ryan Day the last few years, the Buckeyes have continued to focus on adding high school talent and taken a pick-and-choose approach to the transfer portal, finding talent where they need it and filling holes when necessary.
What has made the Scarlet and Gray successful early in the transfer portal era, however, is that Ohio State hasn't lost key players at important positions. Day has made it clear that retaining talent is just as important, if not more so, than adding collegiate players. It is important that the Buckeyes are developing most of their players for themselves and not other programs. 
But the Scarlet and Gray have lost some players to the transfer portal over the last offseasons. In this day and age, this is unavoidable.
Bucknuts looks back at the 2022 offseason and the players who elected to depart the Ohio State program. Where did they go, and how have they performed since leaving Columbus?

Bucknuts Happy Hour: Why players don't always transfer | Buckeyes still looking in transfer portal?

Just how loaded is Ohio State's 2024 secondary? Well, on paper, it might be the best we've seen come through these parts ... and that's saying a lot. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle take a close look at OSU's 2024 DBs, plus:
* Two safeties from the portal will be making official visits to OSU this weekend. Will the Buckeyes land either of them?
* As it turns out, defensive tackle Tywone Malone has two seasons of eligibility remaining. The confusion stemmed from OSU's official roster stating he had only one year left.
* What are the chances the Buckeyes land the No. 1 OT in the country in the 2025 class, David Sanders Jr.?
* What does JBook think about OSU's chances of landing some of the other offensive linemen they have offered, such as 4-star Jackson Lloyd from California?
All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
