Summary

Ohio State is an extreme favorite to finish the Class of 2021 recruiting cycle with the No. 1 overall class. Thus far, the talent accumulation has been nothing short of incredible. And it doesn't figure to end with a whimper. How many spots are left in the class? Sure, it's a moving target. But for the purpose of today's show - with a nod to Duane's Front Row post - it's time to pick five to finish with. 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here with his quintet. The first four you'll be on board with. But No. 5? We shall see. Ohio State has also extended offers to two Class of 2022 prospects that prep near Chez Wiltfong. What does he think of the Indiana duo? We asked. Steve answered. Spend 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!

0:00.0	Good morning buff Bucknutters. It is Thursday, May 8th, 2020. I am Dan Rubin. This is the Bucknuts
0:19.7	morning, five and change. If it's Thursday, Camino Lee one thing. Steve Wilfong is in his car getting a
0:27.3	smoothie or a coffee at some establishment that's thankfully open. He's checking in from the capital city of Indianapolis.
0:34.7	The sun is shining. Steve, how goes it? Good morning Daniel. I'm feeling good,
0:40.8	feeling strong. It's beautiful here here we're sending this weather down I
0:46.0	70 through Dayton right into Columbus it's passing through Dayton nicely right now
0:52.2	we won't attempt to jinx it. We were scrapping for topics today and I was checking out the front row and Duane had on there your top five to finish out the class. I thought Steve and I had
1:05.2	discussed this before but I don't think we have so we're gonna go over that.
1:08.4	They have the number one class right now I'm not sure there's any glaring weakness in the class. I do remember being down the stretch the last few years and feeling like there was some serious holes to fill. I don't really feel that way now. So let's go, we're just going to pick five guys out. I'm going to let

1:39.2	You certainly want him as part of this class, one of the more athletic players at the point of attack in this class can do a lot of things on the line of scrimmage and on the edge and Ohio State's in the top two or three there if not sitting in pole position and he would be where I would begin.
1:57.6	Who are the others that the two or three schools in the mix with J.T.
2:01.2	T. T. T. T. M. Well Well I think Washington's in there. You got USC
2:06.5	and Oregon swinging Alabama, some of those schools but Ohio State's doing as
2:11.7	good as job as any program.
2:13.0	All right, who would you take number two?
2:15.0	So number two, I take JC Lassam.
2:17.0	Your franchise left tackle.
2:19.0	I'm out of Bradenton, I'm. Academy by way of Wisconsin, Ohio State,
2:24.4	is battling LSU and some others for J.C. Lefan.
