Summary

What is the latest on the Justin Fields-to-Ohio State rumors?

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for an action-packed edition of the show to discuss that, plus:

* What type of quarterback would the Buckeyes be getting in Fields if he does transfer to OSU?

* What are people nationwide saying about Ryan Day and his ability to coach up QBs?

* Ohio State's 2019 recruiting class is high on quality and low on quantity. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 12 in the 247Sports Composite team recruiting rankings. What is JBook's take on this class thus far?

* The Buckeyes are still favored by 7 points over Washington in the Rose Bowl. It seems like not many people are talking about that game itself. So, we do a least a little bit of that on today's show.

* Ohio State's men's basketball team takes on UCLA in Chicago on Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. Chris Holtmann's squad is ranked No. 15 in the country (despite being picked 10th in the Big Ten in the preseason) and would move to 11-1 with a win over the Bruins (7-4).

All of that and more on the Friday spectacular.

0:00.0	The Thank you. Good morning, bucknoters.
0:23.0	To do the buck-note is welcome to the buck-nuts morning five here on Friday, December 21st, 2018.
0:34.6	I am Dave Biddle. Very happy to be joined by Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit.
0:38.9	Jaybooked there is of course a lot of smoke out there about quarterback Justin Fields from
0:43.9	Georgia perhaps transferring to Ohio State. What do you anticipate will
0:49.0	ultimately happen with Justin Fields? Yeah when the news first broke, I thought,
0:55.0	it's just a bunch of rumors or hearsay,
0:58.0	and as the week progressed, more and more information
1:01.0	started to come out from multiple people who saying that their sources
1:06.2	are telling them that this thing has a lot of legs and there's a very good possibility
1:11.9	it's going to go down for Ohio State.
1:14.4	I know Georgia Bulldogs 24-7 insider, Rusty Manzale, who is dialed in to Georgia football ASER is and he posted yesterday on their site that from what
1:28.1	he's been told and what he's hearing it looks like it's going to be Ohio State. You add that in to what ESPN have released
1:39.1	an article late Wednesday night and it was saying that they were also hearing that Ohio State is obviously
1:46.7	the front runner, the Toledo Blade ran a similar story.
1:51.2	You also had one of the Georgia insiders was on the Paul Feinbaum show of the
1:58.0	SEC network on Wednesday and they were saying that players that are close to Justin Fields are saying that it's also going to be Ohio State and then add another element to it
2:11.2	Womath is flipped from Ohio State to Georgia and essentially his coach told the Detroit
2:16.8	news that they were told that Georgia was expecting Justin Fields to leave and transfer to Ohio State which created a vacuum for them when it came to how many
2:30.9	quarterbacks they had on the roster and then there was a clip from a Georgia beat writer where Kirby Smart had let it slip out on recruiting day talking about Duane
2:40.0	that Fields was leaving so you tally all of that up and I know a lot of people
2:46.0	said Oklahoma is in play which I think they absolutely are given their situation. But it looks like Ohio State may hit a home run here which would be an absolute game changer and potentially a program changer because if you can get a talent like Justin Fields into Ryan Day's system
