  • Position breakdown: Tight end | Dust settles on portal

    Position breakdown: Tight end | Dust settles on portal
    May 1 2024
    The offseason is in full swing and we are going to do a series of position breakdowns on the show. We figured we would start with the glamor position for Ohio State: the tight ends. Wait, what? Alright, it might not quite be the marquee position for the Buckeyes, but it will be an important part of Chip Kelly's offense. How is the depth chart shaping up with fifth-year senior Gee Scott Jr., fourth-year junior Will Kacmarek who transferred in from Ohio University, sophomore Jelani Thurman, third-year sophomore Bennett Christian and fourth-year junior walk-on (who might not be a walk-on for much longer) Patrick Gurd? What can be expected from the group? How much 12 personnel will the Buckeyes deploy under Kelly's guidance? Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell discuss that on today's show, plus: * It looks like the dust has settled on the transfer portal from OSU's perspective. There are a total of six Buckeyes who entered the portal during this window, but other than perhaps Dallan Hayden -- who was in line to be the No. 3 tailback -- it does not appear as though OSU lost anyone who was in the plans for meaningful playing time. Are we surprised none of the Buckeyes' quarterbacks entered the portal? * We take questions from our live audience on a variety of Ohio State football topics. All of that and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.

  • Over/under 14.5 Buckeyes drafted in 2025? | Shaky offseason for Diebler?

    Over/under 14.5 Buckeyes drafted in 2025? | Shaky offseason for Diebler?
    Apr 29 2024
    Could Ohio State set the record with 15 draft picks next year? We think there is a very good chance as we are setting the fake odds at our fake sportsbook at 14.5 players from OSU drafted in 2025. Also, the transfer portal closes after tomorrow and so far OSU has avoided any notable departures. Also, has it been a disappointing offseason for Jake Diebler and Ohio State's basketball program thus far? Steve Helwagen, Patrick Murphy and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

  • Linebacker expectations | 'Tat 5' wants 2010 season restored

    Linebacker expectations | 'Tat 5' wants 2010 season restored
    Apr 25 2024
    There were some questions about Ohio State's linebackers entering spring. However, leaving spring there is quite a bit of optimism that the Buckeyes are set up very nicely at linebacker. The projected starters look good with fifth-year senior Cody Simon and junior C.J. Hicks. Also turning in good springs were junior Sonny Styles and third-year sophomore Gabe Powers, who are both sure to play a lot this fall in James Laurinaitis' rotation. Another young linebacker to keep an eye on is sophomore Arvell Reese. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show and takes a close look at the Buckeyes' situation at linebacker for 2024, plus: * The "Tat 5" is calling for the 2010 season to be restored, including all statistics. In light of Reggie Bush getting his Heisman back, it makes sense. Will it work? Probably not, but we're on their side and we hope it does. Keep in mind the Buckeyes were 12-1 that season, with a Big Ten championship and a Sugar Bowl win. And of course Jim Tressel's ninth win over Michigan in 10 tries. * The first round of the NFL Draft is tonight, beginning at 8 ET. Will Marvin Harrison Jr. be the first non-QB off the board? * It is slim pickings in the transfer portal right now. The best offensive tackle in the portal is Andrew Chamblee from Arkansas, who started eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2023 at left tackle and earned SEC All-Freshman honors. He was a 4-star prospect coming out of high school (No. 18 OT, No. 204 overall prospect in 2022 class, per 247Sports) but is ranked as a 3-star in the transfer portal. 247Sports ranks him as just the No. 22 OT and the No. 445 overall player to enter the portal since the end of the 2023 season. Do we think he would be an automatic upgrade compared to OSU's current tackles? Yeah, probably not. All of that and more is coming your way on the Thursday 5ish.
