Stop us if you've heard this one before: Ohio State will enter the upcoming college football season loaded at wide receiver. This fall, the Buckeyes will feature senior Emeka Egbuka, true freshman Jeremiah Smith, sophomores Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss, redshirt freshman Bryson Rodgers, fourth-year junior Jayden Ballard ... and more. It is almost as if Brian Hartline can recruit well.

Ohio State has not been one of the schools that has gone all in on the transfer portal. Under Ryan Day the last few years, the Buckeyes have continued to focus on adding high school talent and taken a pick-and-choose approach to the transfer portal, finding talent where they need it and filling holes when necessary.

What has made the Scarlet and Gray successful early in the transfer portal era, however, is that Ohio State hasn't lost key players at important positions. Day has made it clear that retaining talent is just as important, if not more so, than adding collegiate players. It is important that the Buckeyes are developing most of their players for themselves and not other programs. 

But the Scarlet and Gray have lost some players to the transfer portal over the last offseasons. In this day and age, this is unavoidable.

Bucknuts looks back at the 2022 offseason and the players who elected to depart the Ohio State program. Where did they go, and how have they performed since leaving Columbus?

Just how loaded is Ohio State's 2024 secondary? Well, on paper, it might be the best we've seen come through these parts ... and that's saying a lot. On today's show, Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle take a close look at OSU's 2024 DBs, plus:

* Two safeties from the portal will be making official visits to OSU this weekend. Will the Buckeyes land either of them?

* As it turns out, defensive tackle Tywone Malone has two seasons of eligibility remaining. The confusion stemmed from OSU's official roster stating he had only one year left.

* What are the chances the Buckeyes land the No. 1 OT in the country in the 2025 class, David Sanders Jr.?

* What does JBook think about OSU's chances of landing some of the other offensive linemen they have offered, such as 4-star Jackson Lloyd from California?

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

Even better, what if he came to offer you a scholarship?

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.

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.
