Spring football will kick off for Ohio State sometime in mid-March and Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle to discuss the main storylines for the Buckeyes from a personnel standpoint. In particular, what can fans expect at quarterback, running back, linebacker and cornerback?
Also, will there be fans at the spring game? What about during the 2021 season itself?
And we close the show talking about OSU basketball. The Buckeyes fell just short against Michigan on Sunday, but it was a great game. 
All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

We talk a lot about Ohio State's quarterbacks on today's show as Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle. How confident are we that Will Howard will be the Buckeyes' starter and perform well? If Howard is the starter, it seems likely that another quarterback will transfer. Who might that be? Or is there a legit chance all five scholarship QBs stick around for the 2024 season?
Also, are the Buckeyes looking to add an offensive tackle via the transfer portal. Will they find one?
On Tuesday, The Athletic quoted several anonymous NFL scouts who say they prefer Malik Nabers over Marvin Harrison Jr. in tomorrow's NFL Draft. Heresy? Or is there something to this?
All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Howard QB1? Which QB (if any) transfers? | Add OT via portal?

The future is so bright we gotta we (goodr) shades. We are talking quarterback and Ohio State, of course.
Currently, the Buckeyes QB is an overflow talent situation and we are monitoring ... closely. 
On display this past weekend down the street from The Shoe at Upper Arlington High, the younger signal callers took the stage.
Ohio ... QBs ... big stage ... must be time for future Buckeye Tavien St. Clair.
The Class of 2025 star earned an Elite 11 invite with Bill Kurelic and other celebrities in attendance.
We dive deep on QBs and a lot more with The Dean and the birthday boy - Mark Porter.

St. Clair superlatives | Buckeyes staff hits road

It is NFL Draft week and that is cause for celebration. It will be a light year for Ohio State's standards with perhaps just five Buckeyes hearing their names called this week. However, that is perfectly fine with us because it means a bunch of guys came back who would have at least been second-day (second-third round) picks.
Speaking of all those guys coming back, just how many OSU players will be drafted next year? If we set the over/under at 12.5, which way are you rolling?
Also, center Felix Okpara is taking his basketball and going ... well ... not home. But he has decided Ohio State will no longer be his home as he entered the transfer portal yesterday. What led up to this? What do we think of the job that Jake Diebler is doing overall thus far?
We close the show talking about Ohio State quarterback Will Howard. The more film we watch of him, the more impressed we are with his pocket presence.
Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Monday 5ish.

Feeling a Draft | How many Buckeyes will be taken next year? | Okpara bails | Howard's pocket presence

What did we learn about Ohio State's 2024 football team during spring ball? How do we feel about the Buckeyes heading into this season? Also, the transfer portal has been very quiet for OSU thus far. With heavy emphasis on the last two words of the previous sentence.
Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that in detail on the Friday 5ish.

Wrapping up what we learned during spring ball | Quiet portal so far

It used to be a real easy answer.
The question: Which state produces the best Division I football talent?
It was always Florida, California and Texas. And those states still produce a ton of talent.
But right now the state boasting the BEST talent is Georgia. And wouldn't ya know, Ohio State is doing work in the Bulldogs' backyard.
Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to dive deep on four elite Georgians that visited Ohio State this past weekend and each left with an offer (if they didn't have one already).
Also, in honor of Devin Sanchez officially shutting down his recruitment, we show you why it's worth being totally geeked about the Houston, Texas native.
