Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast (2024)

Big Ten Media Days will be held this Tuesday-Thursday in Indianapolis and all of Ohio State's appearances will be held on Tuesday. The Buckeyes will be represented by head coach Ryan Day, cornerback Denzel Burke, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and defensive end Jack Sawyer. What are we most curious to hear from that foursome? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus:

* Is Ohio State good enough at quarterback and on the offensive line to win the 2024 national title?

* THE Foundation held a wonderful NIL fundraiser Friday night at the Horseshoe, featuring several prominent names. They continue to knock it out of the park with what they are doing in terms of helping OSU's football program and men's basketball program. We'll explain more.

* What's the latest vibe with David Sanders Jr., who will make his announcement in a little more than three weeks?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Can Ohio State add another coveted defensive lineman to the Class of 2025 recruiting haul.

We will know soon after 5 p.m. EST. Newberry (Fla). standout Jarquez Carter is scheduled to make the call in front of friends and family at his high school.

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to discuss. Kurelic has rolled a Crystal Ball for Carter to join the good guys. You know what that means.

Today's show also offers a deep dive on the current state of recruiting, NIL influence and how big of a factor WINNING plays in recruiting nowadays.

We opened the floor for questions from our Bucknuts subscribers and they delivered. On today's show, Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle will discuss the following:

* Did the NCAA mess up NIL? Can anything be done about it?

* What statistical numbers does Will Howard have to hit this year for the Buckeyes to achieve their goals? By the way, do you know how many rushing yards Kyle McCord had last year? It's less than you had. For real.

* Is Sonny Styles now the favorite to start at the WILL linebacker spot?

* On the recruiting front, what are the latest vibes with David Sanders Jr.? And how concerned are we that Na'eem Offord is potentially still looking around?

All of that and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

Jarquez Carter is ready to make his call. The Class of 2025 defensive tackle from Newberry, Fla., will announce his college choice on Thursday.

If Carter chooses Ohio State over Miami (Fla.), Florida and several others, it would give the Buckeyes six defensive linemen in this cycle.

We (would) love that.

Carter is not the lone Ohio State target ready to pick a school. Trey Mcnu*tt is ready. Will Conroy is ready not to go to Ohio State.

The Buckeyes are also chasing several prospects in SEC territory.

Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter are here to provide clarity. It's what they do.

Unfortunately,Ohio Statewill likely be without third-year sophom*ore running back T.C. Caffey this season due to a knee injury, per multiple sources. The Buckeyes have an excellent 1-2 punch at tailback withTreVeyon HendersonandQuinshon Judkins, but there is a lack of depth behind them. The only other two scholarship RBs on the roster are true freshmenJames PeoplesandSam Williams-Dixon. What do we expect out of Peoples and Williams-Dixon this season?

Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that, plus:

* If any of the top four wide receivers go down this year, who would be the next man up?Bryson Rodgers?Jayden Ballard?Mylan Graham?

* What is JBook's vibe on the upcoming announcements ofVernell Brown IIIand David Sanders Jr?

* Any concerns that one or more of OSU's current 2025 verbal commits could flip? Bill Kurelic had the scoop on the site this morning and we'll get into that.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

Ohio State is streaking towards the No. 1 overall class in the 247Sports recruiting rankings. Guess who's making a serious run at the same crown?

Them Ducks.

We also have two Ohioans to discuss - Trey Mcnu*tt and Will Conroy. Will that duo need to adjust to the Western time zone for college? And invest in galoshes?

It's possible. Oregon is not only predicated to be chief competition for B1G on-field supremacy, Dan Lanning and Co. are recruiting with a purpose (and Nike backing, let's be honest).

We dive deep on that emerging threat and so much more with Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter.
