When Chip comes calling | Ohio talent show on display

On what is a loaded roster, the biggest question for Ohio State entering the 2024 season is the offensive line. On today's show, Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen do a deep dive on the Buckeyes' O-line and what to expect out of them this season. What does the projected starting five look like with spring ball a few weeks in the rear view mirror? Who will be the top backups? Is there any chance OSU will add an offensive lineman in the portal, or are the pickings far too slim on that front?
All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Buckeyes' O-line breakdown

Quality over quantity.
That was the WHAC vibe over the weekend. It wasn't the overflow-type red carpet weekend we often discuss before and after ad nauseam.
No, Ohio State hosted an smaller, elite group that included legitimately high-profile prospects.
Who was here? How did it go?
Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter join to inform you on the weekend's visitors, Mark's two-week Ohio journey and where the Buckeyes stand with a certain Texan.

Recruiting info extravaganza | Sanders, McNutt, Grady updates

Today's show delves into various topics about Ohio State football with Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin. Up first on the docket is our breakdown of the Buckeyes' running backs this season. Will TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins prove they are the best 1-2 punch at the RB position in the country this season? How do we feel about true freshmen James Peoples and Sam Williams-Dixon? Will third-year sophomore T.C. Caffey be put on scholarship and what do we expect from him?
Then Dan will share his vibe on redshirt freshman defensive tackle Jason Moore, who Larry Johnson referred to as the "ideal 3-tech in our defense" during spring ball.
Also, we are hearing the Buckeyes are looking at safeties in the transfer portal, just for depth purposes. Right now there are only five scholarship safeties on the roster, although freshman Leroy Roker will raise that number to six when he enrolls next month. The team also has a talented walk-on safety in junior Inky Jones (who is another candidate to get bumped up to scholarship status).
All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
