Ohio State added a coach this morning from nearby Cincinnati. Perry Eliano is the new safeties coach. What's Eliano's reputation? How is he on the recruiting trail? 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong knows Eliano well and has plenty to say about the addition.
Wiltfong also breaks down the addition of Justin Frye - an Indiana native - and how he could help bring more talent to the WHAC.
Also: 
* Will Omari Abor stick with his Ohio State commitment?
* Is Christen Miller a legit option for the Buckeyes?

Your daily dose of Ohio State Buckeyes news, hosted by Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin.

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.
