Summary

Can you take two high-profile quarterbacks in one recruiting class? Not an easy deal in the past. But in the newfangled NIL era? Your Buckeyes could make such a deal.

Quarterback Wonderful 'Champ' Monds was on campus this past weekend for Student Appreciate Day and Garrick Hodge is here to discuss the ramifications. 

Will Monds commit to Ohio State's Class of 2027 even though quarterback Brady Edmunds is already a member?

Garrick dives deep to reveal the plan. Mark Porter? No dice. He's off galavanting in a tropical setting.

We also discussed an elite defensive tackle rising on the recruiting radar, a tight end and wide receiver from one state over and more.

As if that was not enough, we also talked Buckeyes at the VERY top of the NFL Draft and basketball transfer portal chaos that 'officially' kicks off today.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
